GDT: 2020 NHL Free Agent Frenzy VI

[sarge88]

He also needs to address the defense end, by not negotiating with Krug he's created 2 holes.

Yeah.

I’m less concerned about the defense right now. I mean they don’t need a “Hall” level defenseman like they do at forward.

I have much more faith that Lauzon becomes a solid 3/4 than I do in Bjork becoming a 2nd liner.

 

[JCRO]

Seattle’s gonna pay Hall out the *** next year even with a flat cap.

 

[Gordoff]

WTF!!!!!

I think this ^^^^says it all.

 

[roflstomper]

Either A. We didn't try to beat that or B. He didn't want to come here and is thinking about his next big deal. Either is f***ing bullshit.

 

[The don godfather]

Getting toffoli and schmidt nice consolation price let's go. Not worried here . We deep we still solid. Just need a couple of more good guys.

 

[UncleRico]

I do want to say this should be a giant wake up call to management if Hall is choosing Buffalo over you.

Either their is something wrong with management and players around the league know it

OR

you are too incompetent to give Taylor hall a 1 year $8m contract.

 

[Scruffy]

No way donny takes this sitting down. Expect fireworks! Let's go !! No quit here guys .

I reaaaaaaally need the number to your dealer

 

[BB88]

You’d think Dadonov, Hoffman, Toffoli will sign soon

 

[Fenian24]

Hall was either lying about winning or took a big one year payday with a good center and will pick where he goes at the trade deadline. If he has a NMC I think that may be the case.

Buffalo does the deal to get assets at the deadline and to try to make Eichel happy for now. Hall gets to evaluate the league and pick his contender in March

 

[The don godfather]

Either A. We didn't try to beat that or B. He didn't want to come here and is thinking about his next big deal. Either is f***ing bullshit.

This is on hall no way donny wouldn't do that. Something stinks.

 

[EvilDead]

Ready to give up a 1st and Studnicka for Hall come trade deadline?

no.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

live footage of me after seeing that it was supposed to be between Bruins and Memphis and it turned out to be Buffalo:

 

[Widdlez]

Ugh when Sweeney signs Dadonov/Toffoli/Hoffman, it’s gonna be like, “great. Cool.”

you mean when they all sign elsewhere and we lose out on them it's gonna be like "cant blame sweeney, they are losers who want money over winning, never liked them anyway"

 

[Gordoff]

You can't win with one line scoring..how tough is this to understand for God sakes

JJ disagree's, he's been "winning $$$" here for decades.

 

[Fenian24]

That hothead Neely too

Clean house and bring in people from outside the organization

 

[NDiesel]

I am NOT saying that this is the case, but I can’t help but wonder if the Bruins were never seriously involved with Hall. I wonder if the “multi-year offers” we heard about were simply BS that the front office was feeding to the media. Keep in mind, we’ve seen time and time again when the Bruins fail to land a key player, make a bad trade, or even fail to make any move, the media publishes a story to make the front office not look as inept (Parise’s “offer” in 2012, Seguin trade, 2014-2016 deadlineS, Hamilton trade, 2015 draft, etc.).

Clear to me what happened. He wasn't getting offers that he liked money wise. So he decides he'll go to a place where he'll get tons of playing time playing beside Eichel so he can cash in next season. He wouldn't sign here because he would have other guys taking the spotlight away from him. Teams likely would try to lowball him more because he was producing on a top team.

This to me shows there is lots of legitimacy to the claims of his poor attitude. Clearly a me first type of guy.

 

[Emerz]

Hall picks loser teams all the time then complains about wanting to play playoff hockey. Never understand that lol.

 

[roflstomper]

Where are we at in the 5 stages of grief?

 

[JCRO]

No way donny takes this sitting down. Expect fireworks! Let's go !! No quit here guys .

Don Sweeney’s #1 hype man.

 

[TCB]

Yeah.

I’m less concerned about the defense right now. I mean they don’t need a “Hall” level defenseman like they do at forward.

I have much more faith that Lauzon becomes a solid 3/4 than I do in Bjork becoming a 2nd liner.

Not me. I think their number one Priority should be a#1 left side defenseman.
I think Smith Studnicka and Kase are ahead of Bjork at this point.

 

[Gordoff]

Ready to give up a 1st and Studnicka for Hall come trade deadline?

You shittin' me Hoss?!?

 

[EvilDead]

Oh so no Hall? DADONOV! COME ON DOWN!!!!

I'd rather Toffoli. I like Dadonov a lot but with Toffoli still out there and Dadonov rumored to go back to Sunrise, I'd rather see the Bruins go for broke and try to get Tyler Toffoli.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Hes going to pad his stats in an uncertain covid year so next summer he gets a big deal. Thats all this is.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Hall plays with the likes of Eichel and Skinner for a season, puts up a ton of points, then can cash in next year in a hopefully less Covid-impacted environment. There's sound logic there, and not wholly inconsistent with his stated desire to win a Cup as long as his next contract is with a contender.

Maybe the Bruins could also have offered him a one-year deal, but they probably couldn't assure him of the highlight-reel spot he'd be looking for to really boost his value. Shame to miss out on him, but given the decision he's made, I don't blame our GM for not landing him. Just need to make good on getting Hoffman or similar now.

Is it too late to order my Taylor Hall Bruins Jersey?

 

[BAD BOY]

1.Hoffman
2.Dadonov
3.Shouldnt have signed Smith and dealt Krejci and Rask @50% each for futures

They aren’t trading Rask because of the fallout. They aren’t trading DK because the second line will be shot2
Shit. They aren’t signing because they are scared ( Backes) every single prospect is untouchable and the coach doesn’t want young players in there unless you produce ASAP.
