Proposal: All Bruins Trade Talk - MOD warning in OP

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

I'm a complete idiot and even I have a couple of sources, FFS, and I'm not even a writer in the sport. It's not hard to have sources. What was hard was that Murph would throw **** against the wall here to see what stuck and when people would challenge him, he acted like we didn't have any business ever questioning him or his word. Given his track record of rarely ever being right, I think anyone with half a brain would challenge his reports.

If you can't recall, this was same guy that claimed Phil Kessel had a coke problem when in reality he was dealing with testicular cancer. And it wasn't that he was wrong all the time, it's that he was a condescending prick when you dared question him. You're wrong that much, yet you act that high and mighty? Nah. Which is why he ran away from posting. Still lurks like a mother****er here though, clearly.

but... where is the harm really? I think the biggest harm is when some advertiser supported business hires a hack to attract and keep hits on the sight

I would never go out of my way to read murphy. I never have. what I know about the guy is mostly what I see here... and then I hear him get interviewed in various places. I will say he doesn't strike me as anyone that breaks info to me

but is that enough for me to hate him?

yes hes arrogant and egotistical imo. it comes through in his interviews

but that's probably needed for his job

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Holy ****

I thought this was everyone joking....

He got ruffled up enough to address it on his twitter, WOW

Jimmy Murphy. The only "journalist" with thinner skin than Haggs.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

To call yourself a legit media member and let all this get to you to the point you post that?? What a complete hack. No real media guys take you serious Murph. Even Felger craps on you.

Jimmy thin skins is your name from now on

 

[ON3M4N]

Living the dream

Guy is such a clown and so insecure. I'm not sure which is more sad, the fact that he's trying to be a keyboard warrior or that he actually has people who follow him.

Btw he says he heard, but we all know he was snooping around looking for his next breaking news bahahaha.

 

[Hali33]

Jimmy’s source probably goes to another school, just like my super hot girlfriend when I was in 7th grade.

 

[22Brad Park]

Sorry @DKH but the man has spoken, he came up with the proposal all on his own.

He is lurking..wow The fact he lurks here though says how strong this site is.

 

[DominicT]

I will break it all down for you in the morning.

That's it for now.

Mine went to the same school as me, she just didn't know anything about it.

There’s a lot of hockey left, I know.

But if you look at Hockey Reference playoff percentage chance projections there are currently 14 teams projecting at a less than 30% chance of making the playoffs.

Again, long way to go. But is it just me or does that seem high compared to past seasons at this point?

Seems like this years TDL could be a busy one.

When it comes to trade rumors and leaks it is a theorem that the most reliable leaks originate with Canadian media sources. The Bruins especially want to been seen as playing favorites with any of the local media people but in the past year Amalie seems to be more in the loop she moved to NHLcom.

I love you Dom, but sometimes you suck. Tomorrow?!?!?!

I have no problem with it but common courtesy to let me know I’m his source

He’s relatively new to this and I’ve got a half century of Knowledge on top of knowing the game like few on the planet. I’ll help him if he asks least I can do

Hated when that happened.

 

[TCB]

Will Melnyck pony up cash for Stone or can he be pryed away with a big package offer ?Ottawa has 3 big guys that they need to get locked up or trade or they walk for free.Tick Tock.Dzingel and Stone interest me not Duchene

I would take any of them for the right price, but I think Dzingel might be the guy who the Bruins might have the best chance of landing. Melnyk doesn't want too spend money, but he also knows he needs one of Duchene/Stone to fill some seats. My guess is its Stone. they also have a fine group of Young players in the pipeline who they may feel could replace Dzingel and if trading him makes that pipeline even deeper and cheaper,I'd think Melynk would be all in.

Dzingel and Pageau deal would be a perfect fit and wouldn't break the bank for the Bruins.

Look at the standings - realistically in the East, you only have 9 teams that are competing for 8 spots - right now

I confess I’ve not paid super close attention to playoffs projections (outside of B’) at this point in past but this year seems extremely low.

I'm gonna start calling you Captain Cliffhanger.

In my happypuppy thread i just posted standings after 41 games played

There are 8 teams in east on pace for 100 points

Carolina has 43 points. To get to 100 requires 57 points in next 41 games

As you just put it... its a 9 team race now

Jimmy's sources are multiple girls in the Niagara Falls area...

I think Buffalo is going to fall out of contention as they have been spotty since they won 10 in a row. I think we are on another collision course with Toronto

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Tweeting that you read on HFBoards that people think you're stealing ideas from HFBoards in order to prove you're not lurking on HFBoards is a remarkable self-own

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I agree and think maybe this time starting the series in Toronto would be a good thing . There will be tremendous pressure on the Leafs to win both games . All the Bruins have to do is split .

Not sure my heart could take it but winning a Game 7 in Toronto would be epic

Decent players but I think the Bruins would like to add some size in their top 9, both these guys are small.
