Confirmed with Link: Boychuk to Isles for picks

[putabergeronthegrill]

wow terrible haha

 

[Nose Face Killah]

I feel sick. not even for a ****ing player? AND in the division??? Ugh.

 

[Ace0813]

That's really good value for Boychuk.

too many bodies to resign next season. He would have been on the way out IMO anyway.

 

[Johnnyduke]

The only real issue here is giving Kelly a NMC. Cap management wasn't really his fault.

then whose fault was it?

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

 

[Si Hopkins]

How was this the best option? Seriously?

 

[Over the volcano]

2015 2nd is the Flyers pick

Oh well

 

[Concessionaire]

Unhappy.

 

[BeardBros]

What a ****ing joke

 

[ytownhockey10]

so much for not drinking today

 

[Absurdity]

...

It's good value?

Kinda was hoping for a player though! That was the whole idea, wasn't it?

Eh, I was hoping for a winger in return, but I guess they think they can fill those spots from within, maybe Spooner etc ? I was honestly expecting a bigger return. Even if Boychuk out priced himself for next season, he still would have made our defense better going into this season and the playoffs.

 

[ChargersRookie]

Islander 2nds are late firsts, no?

Sux to see him go

I have seen them as the surprise for this season this morning as a matter of fact (Journal de Montreal).

 

[Yeti of the Flow]

then whose fault was it?

The league's.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

then whose fault was it?

I don't think his cap management was that bad. Trade Bart and we're fine. This is the one move that really confuses me. Not keeping Kelly.

 

[Shaun]

bart is still here and probably in the top 4. let that soak in.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

That's really good value for Boychuk.

too many bodies to resign next season. He would have been on the way out IMO anyway.

I agree. Um... It's good value. Just not the right value.

 

[bbfan419]

One of the rumours posted a week ago stated the Bruins had to deal a defensemen first and then they would have enough cap room to make another deal apparently going after Ryan O'Reilly, would love it if that came true depending of course what goes the other way.

 

[wetcamelfood]

And Bartkowski's a top 4 defenseman again?

This.

Trying to be + "JB might come back next summer etc." but Bart sux. Even if he scores an Orr/Sanderson give and go in OT of game 7 of this year's SCF, I'll still wish he went instead.

 

[Mountain]

Terrible trade. Wonder if he'll get a NTC in New York

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

We could afford a weaker forward corps as long as we had a stellar D, but to downgrade at both? Not good at all.

Hopefully there's something else coming, but I doubt it.

 

[Johnnyduke]

The league's.

not following

 

[CrownofThornton]

Hate this!

We just lost one of our most durable toughest warriors. JB is an absolute machine, and has only just reached the beginning of what I believe to be his prime.

... and all for draft picks.. to a team that happens to have an embarrassingly bad draft history.

 

[Yeti34]

Wow chia getting hosed again.

 

[Absurdity]

If the Bruins aren't in on another move, I won't see the point of this trade.

 

[zaYG]

Awful return
