Confirmed with Link: Bruins and Kevan Miller agree to four-year, $10 million deal, per agent Peter Fish.

I like the signing. Like the dollars. Ok on the term. And I like the player.

 

[dtam83]

man, I'm more and more glad I didn't get season tickets for this year.

does this ass clown have any idea what he's doing?

 

[CDonns]

Like the 2.5 mil. Not gonna say it's bad unless they keep McQuaid. If we keep them both then what the ****.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CDJ]

No, I like McQuiad. I just don't see the need to give Millar those years and dollars.

Why wouldn't you just keep McQuiad? I'm just trying to figure out what they plan on doing.

Does this contract make Miller a little bit cheaper than McQuaid? IIRC McQuaid was at like 2.75. Maybe the plan was to move forward with the cheaper one of the two, and they ended up getting Miller for less. I think there are teams that wouldn't mind McQuaid at 2.75 for a few years.

IDK, that's what I'm hoping for at least. It's too early in the offseason for me to be too critical yet. I personally prefer McQuaid to Miller but I guess there was a reason why they played Miller more than McQuaid...

If they go into the next season with Seidenberg, him, and McQuaid then I agree with a lot of the panic on here. It's just too early for me to join in.

You Ok, man?

 

[Spooner st]

if they can ditch Seidenberg then I'm lukewarm on this. If they can ditch Seids AND McQuaid then I'm totally fine with it. I think Kevan is actually a really solid bottom pair guy who was just asked to do too much this year.

Agree
Obviously there's a plan behind it. People need to give Sweeney some time before jumping off the ledge.
The draft still a month away.

 

[Riverfront]

as long as they move on from siedenberg, and mcquaid, mcquaid has been a good soldier but injury concerns and slow feet and aging are all against him.

So far, Sweeney has done exactly what Chiarelli would have done.

 

[DKH]

Miller tough and can play the Julien system and was getting better as the year went on

Morrow and Trotman look like they are gone

Carlo is probably a good 60-120 AHL games away; Lauzon has another year in the Q' Zboril who knows where he will be playing


Seidenberg may be in trouble here tough to read but I think so

Colin Miller in my viewing struggled in that system where Kevan Miller picked it up

not saying Kevan is more talented but he is a superior defender and can play the Claude system

Tommy Cross my take can play this system

great day for the herd

 

[EverettMike]

I have no idea what direction this management group is taking.

My thoughts are very negative right now. Going to stick to swearing in private emails.

 

[BruinDust]

Ironically the same things are all against the guy they just gave a 4 year deal to.

 

[member 96824]

Confirmed three pieces of news:

1. Miller signed
2. Griffith signed
3. It doesn't matter who is in the GM spot because they are not the problem.

Get ****ed Bruins. Get ****ed.

 

[11]

Yep this team is absolutely ****ed until Neely and Sweeney are gone, they're clueless. So now one of McQuaid or Miller is a top 4 dman for 3+ years. I'm just waiting for the 5x6 for Loui. Organization is a joke

 

[alg363636]

The contract in a vacuum is fine. I think they should have either gotten lower value or shorter term, but I wouldn't lose sleep.

The issue is McQuaid and Seidenberg. If they can ditch McQuaid I can live and if they can ditch Seids even better, but all three being on the roster next season is a disaster.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

if they can ditch Seidenberg then I'm lukewarm on this. If they can ditch Seids AND McQuaid then I'm totally fine with it. I think Kevan is actually a really solid bottom pair guy who was just asked to do too much this year.

Rather not have 2.5M bottom pairing D with no skill on my team.

Bruins had to find a home to Seids to open space for skills and speed in the back end. Now, with that signing, McQuaid also has to go which makes me sad cause I likes him.

Would have kept only McQuaid out of the three. Seems like we are stuck with the 3 of them and having no spot on the back end unless they don't want to play C.Miller/Morrow again this year.

Lock to play every games:

Chara
Krug
Seids
K.Miller
McQuaid

That leaves one spot. Unless there is some trades. There has to be some trades to open some spots. Only Krug knows what to do with the puck among those 5. That was the problem last year, it will remain a problem.

Don't like this signing. at all.

 

[BB88]

McQuaid
Kevan
simply can't be on the roster at the same time, and ........ atleast one of them is going to have a top4 role on the team.

What happened to making the team faster, having better D-zone exits, giving kids the chance?

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I think his has a lot to do with expansion and having to expose a certain amount of $$$'s....

I'm not panicking just yet, but if Millar is a guy they want - McQuaid and Seidenberg have to go.

Just seems to me they could have gotten Millar cheaper and with less years. It feels like a lot of the same at the moment.

 

[BruinDust]

Get ****ed Bruins. Get ****ed.

So Sweeney says he wants more puck-movement and transition on D.

And wants to get heavier on the wing.

Starts by re-signing Kevan Miller and Seth Griffith.

 

[chrisab123]

I'm done...I'm ****ing done. Whats next Jimmy Hayes getting a 4 year deal? This actually makes the Quader deal look decent. I hate this team.

 

[Judge Smails]

Does getting $10 million mean he gets to pick a better uni number?

 

[BruinDust]

Just seems to me they could have gotten Millar cheaper and with less years. It feels like a lot of the same at the moment.

There was zero, absolutely zero, reason to give Kevan Miller a 4 year deal. None.

 

[CDJ]

I mean it's true, Kevan miller is better in his own end than Colin miller is. The sky is blue and the grass is green.

 

[mislysBB]

...

I like the signing. Like the dollars. Ok on the term. And I like the player.

But please tell me you don't like Seids, McQuaid, and Miller all on the same team with 9 million dedicated to the three of them....???
