Grizz or Freddy will get traded before this thread is locked

 

[Root]

Trade Gryz, try your hardest to trade Forbort. Don’t trade Frederic. It pisses me off that it’s even a thought. Young player they developed, play the kid and let him come into his own. He’s on the cusp.

I’m not going to complain about the depth signings that Sweeney made but my god does he like bland players. What does he envision for a team identity? Seems like something he always falls short at. Don’t get him.

 

[JOKER 192]

While Capfriendly says we have 20/23 signed it more like 16/23 . Otherwise the tank is on.

I didn’t realize how “done” I am with Ullmark until we got through today without him being traded.

I truly considered it a no brainer that he would be moved and Swayman given the keys to the Cadillac.

I know it’s early in the off season, but if the season starts with him here I really won’t understand.

This team doesn’t need 2 number 1 goalies.

It needs a number 1 goalie and whatever Ullmark can bring back.

But if the return for Ullmark sucks right now because everyone is broke, do you still trade him now?

Or do you, knowing you have a very low amount of potential top half of the roster prospects, wait a year until all the teams are flush with cash AND the team getting Ullmark can give him a new deal?

I really was hoping they were able to move him for a first or a good NHL ready prospect and do something fun but if that isn't out there right now... I just don't think signing Bert (who would have been a risky signing) was worth it and without a good pick/prospect return from Ullmark can you really trade for anything? Maybe there is a hockey deal out there, but that isn't really impeded by not moving Ullmark.

edit: but yeah. I feel you on the "feeling done" part. I was ready to move on just to get a cleanse from how last season ended.

I've been out all day and just catching up. Are there any other washed-up useless players we can sign? Or did we get all of them already?

 

[ON3M4N]

Kind of interesting to see the 3 big FWD's the Bruins brought it. All 3 seem to do their offensive damage in front of the net/dirty area.

 

[LondonKnightsRule]

Go into next season with no expectations. It is what it is.

It's a god damn retirement home

 

[Kegs]

Where do u guys usually do the parades? Got to book my hotel now to save $.

Well, there’s this guy, seems to keep ending up with rings

Well I’m not sure but OEL just scored another 2 mil. He must have a very nice watch.

 

[NeelyDan]

I’m stoked for this season

 

[EverettMike]

I’m stoked for this season

Cause they're going to keep their first round pick?

 

[NeelyDan]

Cause they're going to keep their first round pick?

Nah cause it’s gonna be fun as hell

And I’m all about the fun

Cause they're going to keep their first round pick?

Also my Uber driver is blasting Enrique Iglesias so take that into account

 

[ON3M4N]

Would still love them to find a way to add Christian Fischer. Looking at the roster it seems they'll need to clear some cap to bring Bergeron back. If you assume that it'll mean Grz or Forbort go, it leaves a hole in the defense which would be filled by someone like Zboril.

 

[nasero]

Cause they're going to keep their first round pick?

Jokes on you, that pick is gone for a guy we didn't resign today.

 

[TCB]

Jokes on you, that pick is gone for a guy we didn't resign today.

Jokes on you because if the Bruins finish with a top 10 pick, that pick gets moved to the following year.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Hathaway to Flyers.

 

[CDJ]

I’ll take Lucic + JVR over Hathaway. Same price!

 

[TCB]

Hathaway to Flyers.

Not going to miss him, but dam its tough watching him Orlov and Bert all leave for basically 3 playoff wins at the cost of 2 first, a 2nd, 3rd, and a 4th

 

[missingchicklet]

Hathaway to Flyers.

Good. Now I can go back to detesting Hathaway and hating the Flyers even more. Felt too weird cheering for Hathaway.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Hathaway to Flyers.

Glad he’s gone , I didn’t want him , thought he was invisible. There wasn’t a single moment where I thought “ yeah that guy is a Bruin “ . Don’t slam the door on the way out .

Fair points.

I’m just always of the mind that a deal can get done if you try hard enough.

And it’s really frustrating seeing this team roll along with two #1’s when there are needs elsewhere.

But if this time next year he brings back a 1 or a young, good roster player I guess I can’t complain too much.
