I'll keep our top line at their current pay, thanks

If you consider a less-proven Eichel got 10 per coming out of his ELC, seems like a fair deal.

8yrs $9.85M AAV

Strange amount of money for a guy that needs guards at his door, is a terrible teammate and didn't fit into the culture around here.

He has to give half of his pay to the guards, so it's probably fair.

Pass on paying anyone outside the Top 3-5 players in the league $10m per year.

Outside of a Crosby/McDavid/Malkin, I'd much rather have better depth with that extra $3m in cap space

How many years ago was that?

He finally grew up.

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!! Let's throw him a parade. Oh wait, he had one of those already and partying mattered more at the time.

That's a lot of coin. Probably worth it, as prolific a scorer he's been. And a cool announcement by the Stars too!

 

[Chief Nine]

8yrs $9.85M AAV

Very clever and a good deal for Dallas

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

also, for fun...the last 2 seasons:

Seguin - 66-84-150
Pastrnak - 69-81-150
Marchand - 73-97-160

if athletes were all traded before they "grew up" there would never be any one team athletes.

Lou, this is BS, plain and simple.

Patrice says "Hi!"

 

[LouJersey]

Lou, this is BS, plain and simple.

Kind of, but not nearly BS as the "reasons" they traded him in the first place.

 

[LouJersey]

Patrice says "Hi!"

So does Patrick Kane.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Patrice says "Hi!"

Never mind just Bergeron.

Pastrnak? DeBrusk? Heinen? Carlo? McAvoy? (just from the current team)

I don't recall reading stories about these guys coming to the rink in the same clothes for three days and needing a guard/chaperone to keep them in their rooms after curfew during the playoffs.

I would love to have Seguin still in Boston, but let's not pretend that he was some sort of choir boy that didn't grease the wheels out of town.

I hope you aren't referring to what they said on "Behind the B".

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

and if Seguin put up 123 pts in 127 playoff games and won a Smythe on the heels of the controversy, he'd still be here

instead he put up a whopping 1-8-9 line good for 0.36 ppg

Adam McQuaid scored more goals in 2013 playoffs than Seguin did.

 

[LouJersey]

I hope you aren't referring to what they said on "Behind the B".

No, all the crap that came out after, which is what the Bruins do, that's all.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Depends on who you believe. The "reasons" must have been compelling enough to trade him. I wish they hadn't, but they must have felt a need to.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

So does Patrick Kane.

Kane is kind of the antithesis to the point you're trying to make, so I'm not sure why you brought him up.
