[smithformeragent]

Or shall I say the eve of the eve of the trade deadline. Close enough.

Johansen immediately placed on waivers by Philly. I wonder if he could be a "take a stab at it" option if other moves clear room.

$4M cap hit for this season and next seems like a lot for a "take a stab at it" option.

Need shiny new players!!

That 1st rounder for Henrique and Carrick is disgusting. C'mon if Sweeney or Chiarelli did that we'd be crapping all over it.

I wouldn't of given up a 3rd rounder for what Tarasenko is today.

Pure desperation due to a weak market.

You're the only one who thinks that the deal for Tarasenko is overpayment. That's fine if that's your opinion, but it absolutely not indicative of a weak market.

And the Henrique is deal is on par with what we see every single trade deadline. Likely weaker return considering that there's supposedly salary retention included in the deal.

Bruins going to announce a 5x3.5M extension for Grzelcyk

Is this trolling?

Tarasenko is 17-24-41 in 57 games, or more goals, assists and points than Jake DeBrusk. He picked his spot, fine, but he's certainly a good to very good get for pennies by Florida.

Sweeney most likely will do nothing this trade deadline, his “pickups” are not trading any pending UFA. I wouldn’t be happy with losing guys for nothing, but I think that’s the route he goes

 

[remer]

Well for all of those people that think the prices are high, than the Bruins should seriously consider selling off a few of their UFA assets that they don't see a future for in a Bruin jersey. DeBrusk, Ullmark, Grzelcyk, Forbort, etc. should fetch a decent return.

@Mr. Make-Believe

Maybe it's not an overpayment, I just think Tarasenko absolutely sucks.

The Henrique deal is absolutely not what we normally see at the deadline for players of his age/caliber. Teams generally have been hesitant to give up 1st rounders for rentals unless it's a big fish coming back. Henrique is averaging decent production this year in Anaheim but he's not getting the touches or looks he gets there in Edmonton.

Sweeney most likely will do nothing this trade deadline, his “pickups” are not trading any pending UFA either. I wouldn’t be happy with losing guys for nothing, but I think that’s the route he goes

Forbort and Gryz don't get you good enough returns to get worked up about losing them for nothing anyway. Only guy that Sweeney NEEDS to make a decision on is Debrusk. He can get you something good, so sign him or trade him by Friday.

Any chance we can make this thread live?

Please no. Like I've said a million times, I'm convinced his old man has pictures of someone.

He knows where the bodies are buried, because he helped bury them.

I think I could be a happy man if they did nothing at the deadline other than finding Gryz a new home

 

[Sheppy]

I'd take Olivier for a 5th as a 13th forward, let him run around and be a bit crazy.

 

[NeelyDan]

The only deal I want right now is every insider to suddenly understand we couldn’t give a f*** who broke something first and to stop reporting that

 

[Shaun]

bad sign if bcbruin hasnt popped in

 

[PB37]

Buyers definitely paying a premium right now for shopping early.

 

[Alicat]

Hard pass

 

[Tommy Tubs]

Now there's talk COL has made enough room to acquire Lindholm too. Jeez.
