Essentially if you didn't resign Quader Smith and Krug you could have met the 5.5 from Hamilton. But grit...beer and fight...

2.75 for a dmen that has a hard time playing D. Sounds great. 
. Good thing you pigheaded bruins fans dont want a soft team. This is worse than payint chris neil money just to drop the gloves 
. Couldnt miller do a similar job

Too much, too long, for a guy that has never and will never be better than a number 5 and can't stay healthy. Not a great skater or great transition guy in a league all about skating and moving the puck.

Even the media are taking pot-shots at the Bruins now with the Hamilton and McQuaid moves.
What a joke.

I must have gone full ****** and not realize, because I like this deal. Don't love it, but like it. Adam is a tough, serviceable Dman now making 2.75 for the next 4 years, which is less than 4% of the cap.
I think the Hamilton deal stinks, but regardless, I still wanted Adam on this team - and with the current cap figure, this is a fair price.

It's not even close to fine. On a contending team, he's a 6. We have #6 defensemen and no cap space.
This is THE worst contract handed out by a Bruin GM since the first lockout.

I can understand that the demands of dougie´s camp were maybe to high for us and that a trade was neccessery in the end but then to sign a bottom pair defense man with no room of development to that kind of money to an cap crunched team is just awful ...

I like McQuaid.
I love McQuaid as a 3rd Pairing Dman
I Absolutely HATE the idea of paying a 3rd pairing Dman 3m per for the next 4 years.

Who exactly was going to give out a 4yr deal to a DMan that can't transition the puck to save his life? Great he can fight although fighting will probably be just about out of the game before this deal is done. A 1yr deal would have been fine but McQuaid is the very definition of Fungible 6-7th Dman, not someone you commit 4yrs to.

If this turns out like Andrew Ference's last contract with the Bruins , it could be a winner.

That would require McQuaid to turn out like Ference, the only thing they have in common is they are both injury prone. Ference when healthy could play transition hockey. McQuaid when healthy can fight. McQuaid cannot play transition hockey. It is as if the no one from the B's front office watched any playoff games this year. Did they not realize that the game has changed to a speed and transition game?
I guess McQuaid can stand in front of the net and keep it clean for the goalie. Good thing because he spends the vast majority of his time in his own zone.
