Thanks for this ranold.

Bobby Mac seems spot on to me. I wonder about the guys who didn't play this year more then anything else, namely Marchand and Lucic.

They won't be alone, hopefully. A lot of players didn't go to Europe, I think us and the Flyers had a large amount of players go in comparison to the other teams. If anything, they'll get off to a slow start but hopefully get back to normal.

This new CBA could also spell the end of the line for Patrice Bergeron, who has two more years at $5 million per year before becoming a UFA.

That article is a whole lot of nonsense.

 

[Niz Bruin]

That article is a whole lot of nonsense.

I thought the same thing. Just because players are approaching UFA, doesnt mean they're automatically leaving. If anything I can see Ference and Bergeron most likely to re-sign.

Especially Ference, what the hell is he going to do with that B's logo on his chest?

Yeah Ference will do whatever it takes to retire a Bruin, I think. Thornton too.

It's a total mess of bad predictions. Dougie Hamilton is a key RFA on a contract that expires in 2016? But Lucic isn't?

Not one of the three "potential buyouts" will actually be eligible to be bought out.

And then Malcolm Subban might be backing up Rask if Thomas doesn't play?

 

[Artemis]

That article is a whole lot of nonsense.

It was posted a while back. Chock full o' bunk.

Addendum: RB sums it up.

NMC sucka.

 

[LouJersey]

If Quebec ever got a team I could see them backing up the Brinks truck for their beloved son if he ever became a UFA... He will more than likely and should hopefully retire as a Bruin.

The Bruins would let any player on the roster walk before they let Bergeron.

 

[Alicat]

NMC sucka.

Boom!

One day, Patrice Bergeron's #37 will hang from the rafters in Boston.

I just get the sense that he will be a lifelong Bruin.

I don't understand, at all, your hate for PB. I mean really, enough non-sense, what's your deal?

 

[PlayMakers]

I think Bergeron's going to have a career year in terms of his points per game.

He's usually a slow starter but he's had his European vacation to get over that hump and up to speed. And he's going to play with the team's best offensive player, who also looks ready to take another step forward.

If they don't get split up, that line could be an absolute force this season.

You just answered your own inquiry, dude.

 

[Shaun]

TSN did their top 50 the Bruins came in as
12. Chara
31. Seguin
35. Bergeron

Karlsson was ahead of Chara at 11. Phil the Thrill was 47.

nice- I was reading your cheap shot at Knight the other Knight (cute, huh, Knight instead of night) anyways, and I'm a thinking you haven't tossed any hate Bergeron's way yet.

I guess the season is upon us

 

[kman22]

We can only hope.

 

[Over the volcano]

Can't think of any player more likely to spend his entire career with the bruins.

Keep calm and Bergeron.

Prejudice never makes sense. CB hates French-Canadians, Americans and college players. An American college alum of French-Canadian descent would hit the trifecta.

As for Bergeron, he'll be captain when Chara retires and will see his number retired.

That article is TOTAL rubbish. There is a proposal on the Trade board discussing it. I ranted there.
