Confirmed Trade: [BOS/CHI] Tommy Wingels for conditional 2019 4th/5th round

[Alicat]

Sweeney loves these bottom 6 players that have won best defensive forward awards prior to the NHL

Schaller Kuraly Wingels all have won .... this 4th line should be hell on earth for opponents

Our best 4th line since the Merlot line.

Wingels is an upgrade over Acciari who hasn’t been the same since coming back from injury. His playoff experience is what is really going to bolster that line.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Great trade. Underrated is that it's 2019..we still have a 2/3/4 pick for 2018.

 

[ChiHawk21]

wingles should be a perfect 4th line winger for the Bs. Hope he resigns back in chicago next year. Versatile and could tell quennville liked him.

Acciari doesnt doesnt hit anymore. And its understandable why he doesnt

But without this....his game is not nearly as effective

I expect Wingels to play on Thurs

I want him to play on the 4th line RW, and think he should. It's very very early, but with the Bruins potentially losing a few 4th line players next year, if he impresses and comes cheap, I wouldn't mind Boston giving him a contract.

Happy to have his style in Boston and hope he gets some looks. He definitely is an upgrade on Acciari.

 

[powerstuck]

I just dont think he can be a solution for anything anymore. Wish you the best

I think Mike Reilly will replace Webber as an assistant on the 1st D pair in MTL.

I would be happy if he could just fill up Nathan Beaulieu's shoes

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Set up the 2nd goal tonight with good hustle fore checking and poked the puck to the goal scorer

 

[Mick Riddleton]

and he scores in the second, wow

Whys is it understandable?

And if he doesnt, might as well retire, he's got nothing else at this level.

 

[Montecristo]

Always liked wingels as a 4th liner. Always around the puck. Good trade, good game tonight

Bc it has caused him injuries

Not many players can ram others on the boards on a consistent basis and stay durable

 

[Langdon Alger]

Free 5th round pick. Wingels will re-sign with the Hawks in the off season.

After tonight the Bruins are gonna lock him up for 8 years.

You blew it Chicago! Wingels is gone and he ain’t coming back.

 

[NyQuil]

I challenge anyone watching him to call him "Tommy" or "Wingels" when "Tommy Wingels" just rolls off the tongue.

I called him "Tommy Wingels" throughout his entire tenure in Ottawa.

"Tommy Wingels has the puck. Tommy Wingels is forechecking. Pass to Tommy Wingels."

 

[BruinLVGA]

Looked GREAT last night.

Exactly.. good call on accari,if he can't hit go sit in the pressbox

 

[WJCJ]

I have seen Wingels play here and there over the past few years and I thought he would be a good 4th liner but that was a very nice first game and very nice to see and already more than I had expected.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

He's played well all season long.
Perfect 4th liner.

I think he'll do well in Boston.

 

[JP Nolan]

This is bad for the Bruins... Hate Wingels. Happy for the Hawks to get something from him

You were saying ???

 

[bleuetbio]

You were saying ???

lol saw that one coming. Its a good person, so I would happy if its working well for you, but I never base a judgement of the 1st week in a new team. Players often gets a boost. A lot of theses traded players apparently were goods last night.

What are you even rambling about?

I’d say if a player drafted in the fifth round ends up scoring one nhl goal then it was a pretty solid pick. Which makes trading the 5th for 1 goal of production already more likely than not a won trade for Boston

 

[rocketdan9]

Impressive for a 5th round pick. Thank you Blackhawks

True! The original point was more about thinking that you have better options than him for the same price but who knows, expect the unexpected

I think your statements are fair. Its a depth move for us. Not a homerun swing.

There were other options but this is the one we took
