Our team is airtight solid. Playoffs are a different animal. No space no air. Bring it on ! I got what donny did . Its our D and goaltending vs whatever explosive firepower there is. Bring it.

Love your optimism!!! I really do and I hope your right and they could go far or they could go home early but that's the case for every playoff team in the east.

NHL Trade: The Anaheim Ducks Trade Hampus Lindholm to the Boston Bruins - NHL Rumors

The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Hampus Lindholm to the Boston Bruins for a 2022 first-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, 2024 second round pick and a young player.

nhlrumors.com

Frank Seravalli: “In addition to retaining 50% on Lindholm, #NHLDucks are also taking on D John Moore’s contract as part of the deal. That’s why there is an extra 2nd round pick in there.”

Okay so he gave up a 2nd to take on Moores contract. What did it cost to retain on Lindholm? Since that’s what lots of you are so up in arms about

 

[Bmessy]

Let's be honest, filling a top pair D and top 6 wing all at the deadline is no common for a team to do. If anything fault Sweeney for his offseason putting the team in that position. Things look very interesting for the next couple years IF Bergeron re-signs. assuming they acquire a 2C in the offseason.
This year should be interesting. Can Hall and Pasta carry that 2nd line? They have the skills. You never know who can get hot.

 

[Shaun]

we’d have a lot more draft capital if donnie didn’t sign bad players to inflated contracts

haula is a nice 3C but he’s not good enough to play top 6 which is an issue because coyle hasn’t bloomed into the 2C they probably thought he would. I like haula and coyle but a legitimate #1b/2 is a real glaring hole.

Well a 1st and a 2nd in deep drafts along with a young defenseman who has a pretty good chance to become a top 4, should cover that IMO anyways, but I have np with that and I didn't see anyone complaining about that. Only the 2nd given to take on Moores contract and then sitting on it.

The 50% on lindholm makes zero sense now. You have to figure that if they didn't retain 50% they probably just take Moore without the extra 2nd rounder attached. The extra savings were to make good on the lost money during the pandemic for Monty. Theres no other rational explanation for it. Especially taking into account the history of this cheap skate owning the team. I know...spends to the cap etc...the same cap he caused a lockout over! Major miscues all around but Lindholms extension was excellent.

Well I guess Sweeney should have either waited til Monday to make the deal so he would know whether he could use the extra dollars. Or maybe because he did this I guess he was required to make a bad deal.

Like Copp would have been nice. A bit of an upgrade at 2 C, and provide depth. Was that worth a #1 in 2023, and likely additional assets?

 

[Alicat]

I have a feeling Moore is going to have to hang them up. I hope he can get bought out and possibly go work for a team in development because he has a really good mind for it.

He’s a good player who had the 2 worst injuries a hockey player can have with a shoulder and a hip.

 

[TD Charlie]

So I’d love to hear what went down with the Domi situation as well as Vancouver because the Bruins are left with a dance card with millions and millions of spaces in dollars on it, unlike any other playoff team.

Unless the phone lines burned, the fax machines broke, and all cell service was taken out via EMP, there’s no excuse for it

Just like he bungled the Krejci departure, he’s bungled this deal. Using assets to free 6mil was a great move as long as he used it.

Kind of hard to just literally buy players at the deadline. Who was there they should have acquired, Domi? Only guy they really missed out on was Braun. I would have gone 3 and 5 on him.

Want to criticize Sweeney? Criticize his off season work
regarding Krejci, Foligno and Forbort, plenty there.

Then why piss away the two picks to save the money?

Because he needed the space if a deal was available.

 

[TCB]

if your dealing a second in a deep draft, Id want to make sure the deal was there then, and if not have it on the table with Verbeek or another team in case a deal did come up. Hell the yotes would of loved another 2nd round pick.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I can't for the life of me figure out why people can't put their arms around this.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

big top 6 forward addition aside, it's a massive failure that they didn't at least get a warm body up front for depth. having Stud, Blidh and...Steen? (what the f*** happened to Steen btw) as your next men up is not ideal.

 

[TD Charlie]

I can't for the life of me figure out why people can't put their arms around this.

Oh I put my arms, legs, head, everything around "this"

it's still stupid

New Jersey devils teams back In the lemaire Robinson days used this strategy and won cups with brodeur in net. Its old school boring hockey dump and chase trap kill the clock when taking the lead tactics. Donny and cam played tons of those type of games. I now know donny strategy especially after this deadline. He just loaded on goaltending ( ullmark free agency )and D and said come at us now.

Similar and actually the Bruins offense is probably better, but I sure wish we had a Stevens or even a Daneyko back there intimidating the hell out of every opponent who dared to cross the red line or go behind the devils net and then you add that with Neids and arguably the best goalie to ever play the game, but yea I see that as their plan as well.

Bruins don’t play as good defensively as New Jersey and I’m not just talking the D we have some giveaway machines on this team.

Please let this happen. I want maximum chaos.

lmao gonna be so awkward when Dadanov returns to the Vegas locker room after this trade gets rejected

Maybe with lindholm we become superior in that field. I'm actually banking on it. I think as it stands now without lindholm and brown were one of the best teams in league goals against average. Were gonna get better now. It's a good strategy hard to do but its doable. Many teams in sports have won that airtight defensive way .
