FYI: Lucic had 3 fights last year.

Less fights than: Greer, Frederic & Clifton. Same as Foligno.

Not to many out there want to drop the gloves with him

It's like they've been passive so long, we've forgotten having players bully the shit out of an opponent is usually better than any fight.

It would be nice if the Bruins were forward thinking and ditched DeBrusk and got some value back in some draft assets, since he wants to leave so badly and get some grit and draft capital while letting the young guns from Providence get some minutes in the big show. But no...that would make too much sense. It's better to let the players hold the team hostage as they continue the death march to the bottom.

Notes and rumours ahead of the 2023 NHL Draft

From Nashville, Elliotte Friedman shares some notes and rumblings ahead of the first round of the NHL Draft.

www.sportsnet.ca

• I think Boston has one more move in them to clear space. We’ll see.

• With Milan Lucic’s return to Boston all but imminent, it would be wild if Toronto signed Ryan Reaves. I think that’s possible if he does not sign in Minnesota. The Maple Leafs are looking to beef up their bottom six. Reaves and Austin Watson are possibilities. Maybe Miles Wood, too, depending on what he’s looking for.

Some of the rumblings:
• The Panthers have interest in Noah Hanifin, which isn’t surprising given their need for a blue-line upgrade. Anthony Duclair is part of that trade conversation with Calgary, but the Flames have several other teams that have called on Hanifin, and I’m not convinced the Panthers have the best shot at him. But I suspect Hanific would love a reunion with old Flames pals Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett in South Florida. Another team that I’m told has shown interest is the Bruins, but Boston would need to clear cap space.

LeBrun rumblings: Why the NHL Draft's no-trade Day 1 could be the calm before the storm

Normally, there are trades on Day 2 of the NHL Draft — some from conversations started on Day 1. Expect that to be the case this year.

David Poile says he’s been to every NHL Draft but one since 1967 in one form or another, and he can barely remember a quieter first round.
No trades. Not even a pick moving up or down. Crazy, really.
“But tomorrow? There will be a lot happening. I guarantee you that. It’ll be different,” Poile added.

Right right. Thank you Pete.

Im betting Ullmark at 5 mil. Isn't sounding too bad for some GMs

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

You guys are wild, no cap or assets to do anything and you're expecting the moon. We got all the excitement from TDL and it ultimately didn't work out, now we have to dig for scraps. It is what it is

Exactly, which why a retool of some sort is really in order.

Selling Hall for scrapa and overpaying bottom of the roster cannot happen. Which is why I'm apprehensive, as it's happened most of the time during Sweeney's time with what he's done with cap space.

Future firsts or former firsts (more developed) would be really the only direction i'd consider.

 

[DominicT]

@DominicT any truth to the Lucic stuff?

I have no clue on this one.

All I know is Sweeney and company have been working the phones talking to a lot of teams. Two I know of for sure are Chicago (again) and St Louis.

Ya but game 4 tkachuk trying to fight Ullmark wouldn’t have gone unpunished on lucic’s watch like it did frederic, foligno, clifton etc.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Florida had 3 or 4 guys doing as they pleased, nobody stepped up to it. Sure looked like the coach didn't want them getting involved with that stuff..Marchand played like a Lady Bing candidate.

And that is why they lost.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I say we still have a window I cant see them not making the playoffs next season. Lots of ways to fill in the holes and we have a strong core of debrusk marchy pasta carlo McAvoy sway ullmark Coyle zacha. That's solid foundation.

Losing Bergeron, Krejci, Hall and Bertuzzi would be a massive downgrade. Enough that any prolonged injuries to just one of Ullmark, McAvoy, Lindholm, Pastrnak, Marchand or DeBrusk they could absolutely maintain their 2024 #1.

I figured they’d try to get nyr’s 1st

 

[bbfan419]

Please Donny do not bring back Lucic, he was never fast, but now is 10 times slower and does not even fight anymore, he is toast and should just retire. I do not mind adding some toughness, but go for someone like Kolesar who can also skate decently and play the game as well as play tough.
