Confirmed Trade: [BOS/TOR] James Greenway for future considerations

[Clint Eastwood]

O my god. I almost jumped out of my seat in excitement. Not the same Greenway

 

[rocketdan9]

im surprised boston wants to sign him in all honesty

When you see this... why wouldnt the Bruins want to?

Bruins these days going after these tall, mobile, with some offensive flair prospect Ds

James Greenway 6'5" D

 

[nasero]

Boom, Sweeney is done until the trade deadline. Roster complete.

because of the lack of progression in the 5 years since

 

[dredeye]

I guess we have garbage prospect pool so why not get some free ones lol

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Project pick.

The Bruins system does a good job of developing dmen into NHL ( or potential NHL ) starters. We'll see how he progresses. Former teammate of Jeremy Swayman and Eduard Tralmaks, both in the Bruins organization.

With hard work nothing is impossible. If you’re hungry enough you can succeed at anything.

Anything is possible quite frankly.

 

[Sigh]

Some competition for the Providence guys I guess.

Depends on fit/system also

Leafs expect xyz

Bruins might tone it down and just concentrate on basics/third pair duties. After a while, expand game

No different than any other year wait until trade deadline to build your team.............

Your AHL team?

Bruins board is hilarious. Guys look at PIMs and height and pencil him in bottom pair NHL. He’s likely a bottom pair AHL D right now at best. Wasn’t even a top 20 prospect on Leaf board rankings.

I don't think we expect him on the Boston Bruins. The Providence Bruins, absolutely.

The Leafs haven't even had him in the system, at all. There hasn't been any expectations. There isn't some magic pixie dust you put on a prospect because they're now a Bruin.

Obviously Leafs expectations from afar was not met

So Bruins have a different idea for him. Hence trade

Dont be mad Leafs gave up

Bruins are not. Its for consideration. Could be for anything small.

He can still walk in August.

He can still walk in August.

I can't imagine they're dead set on signing a contract anyway. This allows them earlier negotiation to get him to sign with Providence and is a sign of good faith, they are interested enough in him to trade for his NHL rights

For sure.

Oh damn...They messed up...they went for the wrong Greenway...pretty soon, they're gonna trade 2 1sts for Sebastian Aho from the Isles

 

[Mick Riddleton]

He will be an body for the Providence Bruins basically and this is your last shot kid before going to play pro in Mongolia. Minor league deal, probably a return favour for switching 7th round picks last year.

 

[supsens]

Didn't know about any personal problems. But yes, another bust from Mark Hunter. They focused on some overagers and size a bit in those years, and the results have been disastrous.

It’s a third round pick. Most do not make it

Don't make fun of other leagues!

is alive and well!

I remember when Greenway was all but untouchable in Minnesota. How times have changed.

You may think that, but a simple Google search will set you straight:
