Confirmed with Link: Bruins acquire Zac Rinaldo

[Gargyn]

I ****ing love this move! Rinaldo is a absolute pest...things are getting interresting!

For a 3rd? Another guy who just looks at stats. The guy is useless.

 

[MarchandNoseBest]

Love Rinaldo's game as a 4th liner. Energy guy who just hits everything that moves, I've wanted that kind of player (or a couple of them) for years now. No problem with a 3rd rounder 2 years from now either as the price.

I continue to have zero clue what the plan is here, though. Mixed signals all over the place. Is it to win now? Because we traded Lucic + Hamilton. Is it to have a very tough brand of hockey? Because we traded Lucic who is one of the only very tough guys in the league capable of playing on a 1st line. If there's a plan here, I'd love to know it, because they seem to be going around in circles with no real direction.

When is Matt Cooke coming on board too?

 

[LouJersey]

Everyone forget how listless this team was last season?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Can't somebody cut off the service on Sweeney's phone?

 

[Emerz]

Everyone forget how listless this team was last season?

How about our ability to score some goals? lol

 

[LavioletteScores]

Our GM is making this team a side show.

Oh no, he's making it a front seat showing...to a murder.

 

[Gargyn]

The 3rd round pick by that time will be like a late 2nd. This team will be bottom of the league in no time. This is going to be a hilarious year for the homer fans who think they still have a chance.

Can we please ****ing fire Sweeney now. Holy **** this guy is clueless. Get him the **** away from the team. I would never have guessed he be this horribly bad at his job.

But this guy is a penalty waiting to happen.

Yea, toughness is good but if the guy is suspended every month, why bother.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Kelly's replacement?

Lol

I have no use for players like zac rinaldo

Fine bring him in, but not for a 3rd.

 

[dredeye]

Everyone forget how listless this team was last season?

Everyone remember that useless goons go for a 7th or **** prospect.

Guys... your GM hates you. I'm so sorry.

Have to be honest, these deals are Holmgren-esque. But you guys finally smartened up and got a pro in there.

Oh I agree that he might help bring back some snarl, but a 3rd rounder? Really? A guy like Rinaldo could be had for a 5th rounder and a dozen Dunkin Donuts.

 

[Hali33]

What we'll lack in wins we'll gain in suspensions.

A 3rd for Rinaldo. Wow.

 

[Save By Thomas]

A 3rd? Lol wow. Sweeney is horrible. I've never seen someone so incompetent before. Lolololol

 

[Jack Straw]

Flyers fan coming in peace. I'm sorry guys, I feel for you. Rinaldo is terrible. There's no nice way to say it.

 

[BruinsFan64]

Kelly's replacement?

Well, maybe if this is the plan, and Rinaldo makes less then Kelly, maybe, then just maybe not too bad.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I actually like this deal if it was for a 5th. 3rd is a lot to pay, but I have always liked Rinaldo's game.

Everyone's talking about how bad he is, but every time the Bruins play the Flyers I come away wishing we had a guy like that.

 

[ODAAT]

hilarious

lol. Basically.

And I don't even care about Rinaldo...he adds chippiness to the team without a doubt (I don't care for him, but I can see what he brings as something this team lacked).

But a third round pick? For reals? That is dumb.
