Boston Bruins BRUINS ANNOUNCE JULY 1 TRANSACTIONS - NESN special at 7:30 PM

This isn’t wrong we may not like it or agree with it
Don Sweeney and the Bruins are attempting to play chess not checkers. These short term bargain signings are a way to control the bleeding. Keep vets like McAvoy and Pasta happy this year while giving young players a chance to develop. The short contracts will give Boston around 30 mil in cap space next season with an elite UFA class. It could be a
very smart long term move.

If you'd actually use your energy for thinking rather than contradicting people you'd be all set . I promise you , you would figure it out.

I looked up the name you put out there. No match.

Does it really take that much energy to spell a 5-letter name correctly?

I didn't contradict your post, did I? Simply wanted to know who the f*** you were talking about.

Come on now, try harder.

Come on now, try harder.

Sound advice.

I will try.

Playoff injuries? ... Bruins got basically got pushed around from games 5-7. Most of the series.

Little to no net presence. PP sucked.

Dude Bergeron, Krejci, Lindhom, McAvoy, Ullmark, others were seriously injured. It killed them. Really sucks and shit luck.

Like every other team in the playoffs you mean.

Mods can delete if this is elsewhere, but Bert signed a 1 year, 5.5M deal with Toronto. The article seems to indicate that the market was harder than he thought, and then, when he tried to come back to Boston, they had already moved on and spent the money.

Bertuzzi, Maple Leafs agree on 1-year, $5.5M deal

The Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday agreed to a one-year contract with forward Tyler Bertuzzi, one of the more sought-after free agents on the summer market, and the deal will carry a salary cap hit of $5.5 million, a moderate raise from his last contract.

they called Tyler Todd’s son. ESPN keeping their brutal hockey reporting reputation alive and well.

Why do many people here think that bergy and dk arent coming? Donny would never leave the center holes like this especially first day of free agency. He would have snagged duchene right before the clock started if he knew for sure both were gone. I'm more confident now one or both are back. Not worried.

While I disagree about Duchene I find that a bit curious too. You would think they'd have at least signed another vet center to try and plug the holes there. Seems a bit odd.

See, we can agree on that. It makes me happy.

I still think we will be a very good team next season.

Mine too, that's two now, we're on a roll.

Just need to be good enough to make the playoffs

I mean it’s so easy to throw stuff out there and if it happens say “See? I was right.” And if it doesn’t, oh well, something fell through.

It’s a different age when it comes to reporting stuff.

This is unfortunately so true. No accountability anymore. Being factual is less important than being loud, being first or being patient.

 

[DKH]

Always liked Geekie and I feel like he will score some important goals when nobody expects it.

Yup me too

I was out at family lunch at noon Saturday and the legend @LouJersey texted me about this and he was equally happy

He should be no worse then a really good bottom 6

He’s a guy that really should score 20 goals he’s got skills

Hoping for a Vegas like player awakening here

Legend in my own mind I really like him. Surprises he signed for so cheap. Hoping they stay the course and have 30 million next year to play with.

Yup Eric says same

Wheras Carolina better win because of their top 6 F two (Aho & Terovainen are UFA ) and two (Jarvis & Necas sre RFA)
Pesce & Skjei UFA

I hate that team more then Toronto so hopefully they lose and are gutted

I agree.. I have always seen Carolina as the main threat. Toronto not so much. I think we all wanted to go all in, and knew this season was going to be rough. To me, to be able to keep the Jennings winning tandem together and your top 5 defensemen off a record breaking regular season is pretty amazing. I'll be worried about scoring when I see it's an issue.

 

[Blowfish]

I tried to find the answer but nowhere to be found. What is the absolute deadline date for Bergeron and/or Krejci to decide on retirement?

Really?

Why is that?

 

[UncleRico]

It’s been multiple years of a large contingent of key players being injured or playing through injuries. Same story for half a decade, yet they just keep trotting out the same guys and just chalk it up as “bad luck”

And spend it on….

Who you all like, assuming current teams don’t resign these guys:

Nylander
The Elias’s:
-Petterson
-Lindholm
Aho
Others?
Terovainen?

The trade deadline

I still think we will be a very good team next season.

depends on who are goalies are.
the ullmark/swayman REGULAR season goalies were just crazy good last season.
they won us alot of games last season. in the regular season.
Ullmark was pretty much flawless from game 1 to game 82
