Musk is an ID based man child but there is a core issue to workout here. If the AIs are going to scrape all the content and make it so you don’t have to go to the sites and look at ads to get the content; how does the internet as we know it survive? And why shouldn’t sites then be able to charge for their precious data? Of course for a site like Twitter it’s actually OUR data, but we don’t get a say in it.

seeing $6.6 for forbort and gryz on the books still is tough

I think the fact that Bert is still out there tells you he’s chasing term, high dollars or both. More than teams are willing to pay. I feel like he’ll give us a chance to match but I think he’s done in Boston
Can’t say I agree with this in any way
The Hall trade could haunt Sweeney like the 2015 draft .............Maybe that is why he did it so everyone forget 2015...........Sweeneys job is safe because he just signed a new contract last year , and we all Jeremey is not going to eat that contract.....

After seeing the deals signed today, Id like to say I’m baffled that people are still calling for Gryz to be moved.
But I know this place too well
IMO, it’s a lot easier (from a bruins prospective) to replace a bottom pairing guy (Forbort) than a guy who can hang in the top 4 and gels well with your top d man (Gryz). Now market value is a different story..

Zacha Krejci Pastrnak
Marchand Bergeron DeBrusk
Hall Coyle Frederic
Foligno Nosek Smith
Gryz McAvoy
Lindholm Carlo
Forbort Clifton
That was a record paced team at the TDL and fastest to 100 points ever.
You are replacing Foligno, Nosek and Smith with Lucic, Geekie and McLaughlin.
You are replacing Clifton with Shattenkirk.
So far, so good, honestly. Hard to argue they got worse with those moves.
You are replacing Hall with JVR. A downgrade for sure, but a maybe a better fit. JVR is essentially a poor man’s Bertuzzi: good hands around the net and big enough to shield the puck around the net, but pretty mediocre on the rest of the ice.
Krejci for Lauko…well can’t put any good spin on that. But if Bergeron is back…this is still a VERY good team. Less offensive depth, but some more size in the bottom six. The D is basically the same. Clifton for Shatty shouldn’t matter much at 5 on 5 and there is PP upside. The G are obviously the same.
If Bergeron doesn’t come back it’s dicier. Still a top 5 goals allowed team but hard to see how they score enough. You essentially become the Islanders.
But, they will have a LOT of cash next summer and by then Lysell and Lorhei should be ready play or be trade assets. I would have loved to see them flip Ullmark now and make some hay, but if people were not going to pay up, wait until next year when more teams will have cash.
Still wonder what is gonna happen with Gryz and wonder if there could be something that could happen with Calgary.

So as it stands right now, how's this lineup look?
Marchand-Zacha-Pasta
JVR-Coyle-DeBrusk
Lucic-Frederic-Lauko
Greer-Geekie-Brown
Richardson
Gryz-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Forbort-Shattenkirk
Zboril-Regula/Mitchell
Ullmark
Swayman
It'll compete for sure. Adding Bergeron into the mix would make it look a lot better.

I believe what they were saying was they were the best with this and there is only going to be one change

Count down ...
Slowest team in the league by a wide margin.
