Rumor: Bruins interested in Karl Alzner

[Spearmint Rhino]

Bruins are the enemy and yet I won’t wish this upon you

Well maybe a little

 

[Ishad]

Sweeney has been hanging out with hunter Biden way too much.

I believe this would qualify as the Jumping the Shark moment for the Bs core

 

[rocketdan9]

Oh god yes

Its ok... Leafs vs Bruins 1st round... lets dance

 

[Dread Clawz]

Bad Sweeney.

Alzner is a great guy, but he should not be considered more than a good vet for the AHL team at this point.

Pretty sure that's what it would be. Alex Petrovic came in for that role last year, but he just signed with the flames.

just org depth, not an expected regular player

You guys keep saying this but I don't really get it. The Bruins haven't done anything this off-season. They've signed Miller and lost Krug, for some reason didn't outbid for Schmidt, haven't signed Chara yet and may lose Rask. I mean sure, they'd probably beat the Leafs again but that's a dead horse at this point.

 

[kthx]

Yeah 2 million AAV sounds good. Maybe we can get Hossa to help with secondary scoring aswell?

But why.gif

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

In all honesty, why not look at Vatanen or Hamonic...why toss through the discard bin and grab the worst one there?

Well I for one would strongly reccomend alzner .! If you ask me , 2 yrs may help keep the term down to . Say two years at 1.2 per or 3 yrs 1.11

 

[Crosscrease14]

Love it for Toronto

By Miller, do you mean Smith?

I'd LOVE to this year but it sounds like an all Canadian division is coming

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Make a brilliant signing with Smith and then turn around and do this?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

There’s talk that some UFA might have to sign over seas as the available cap just isn’t there for teams after the RFA class is signed. How Alzner could pull any NHL contract at this point is beyond me

Why?

Honestly, why?...Alzner looked absolutely lost from the moment he hit the ice with the Habs...his footspeed is less than an acceptable NHL-level, his decision-making is worse than his footspeed, and it's not like he's a punishing hitter to make up for his detrimental play everywhere else...you could seriously grab a much better Dman for even the League minimum at this point

 

[Jee]

omg ouiiii do it !!

I think you missed the sarcasm - I’m hoping it was sarcasm anyways...

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Whats funny is before the tire fire off-season for the B's some joked on the team board they would end up doing nothing and signing Alzner. It writes itself with this team sometimes, love em but it's true.

 

[Souker]

I mean... sure he can be a 7th-8th D. MAYBE surprise some and bounce back into a decent 6th D in the right system... but why?
Feels like there must be better options.

 

[HabsAddict]

Alzner has massive potential and will break out for the Bruins system.

I'm soooo jealous that the Bruins can get an experienced franchise player for so little....

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

I hope it was...otherwise, well, even as a Habs fan who hates the B's, I 'm sorry for your luck...

I know by but I’m a Habs fan who don’t like the Bruins you see . I’d want pencil him in as a third pair and maybe top 4 when their really really stuck . It was really not a disrespectful sarcasm , more a kind of hopeful optimism . Sweeney seems pretty bright to me so I don’t think you have to worry .
