Hmmm

 

[DKH]

Cassidy loves Seth, Claude loves Kevan Miller.

Cassidy, Miller, and Griffith- good moves all things considered but the hysteria makes it

Not a big fan of Griffith. Not sure what is going on.

 

[BruinsBtn]

This is a two-way contract, right?

 

[CDJ]

Yeah it says it's a two way deal, so really no harm no foul. It's good to have depth and at the very least he makes providence better off.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Yeah, I'm good with this.

 

[roguepatriot]

Think we will see Seth called up to stay for a while this year. At worst, otherwise another year as a good PB soldier to help develop all new talent coming.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Griffith is a good signing. The upside is still there that he'll be able to contribute in the NHL.

Not good enough to make me forget the Bruins are stuck with K.Miller until 2020 tough...

 

[BruinDust]

So where does he play?

Cause even if they move one of Connolly or Hayes, where does Griffith fit into this roster. What does he have left to prove in the AHL? Can't see him signing this deal unless he was given some assurances by Sweeney of having a legit shot at a Top 9 job in training camp.

Would of been better of not signing him and dealing his rights in a package to bring in some legit NHL level talent.

 

[northeastern]

This is a two-way contract, right?

Yes one year two way.

Via NESN my phone makes links a pain sorry

 

[Era of Sanity]

I'm okay with this, had a very good year in Providence, give him a shot, we want youth integrated on this team it's not like they are contenders.

 

[Absurdity]

I'm not really a fan of Griffith, but why not give him a shot to make the roster at training camp? The more competition there is the better. This contract being a two-way contract also makes this a plus.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Is he still waiver exempt this season?

 

[Estlin]

Boston is still weak at RW, so why not keep Griffith? Besides, he can't be any worse that Hayes. Going into training camp, the Bruins would have Pastrnak, Connolly, Hayes, Griffith and Ferlin (and anyone else whom the team might sign/trade for).

 

[GarbageGoal]

Is he still waiver exempt this season?

Not now that he's signed his second deal.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Not now that he's signed his second deal.

Thanks. I doubt he'd make it through waivers

 

[PB37]

I still think he has 20 goal potential in the NHL. He may pan out to be just another AHL star who can't cut it in the bigs. But there's still time. His biggest thing holding him back is his skating IMO.

Isn't that the same group they had last year at RW going into camp, minus Randell, who outscored most of them.

I agree. I'm a fan and think he's an NHL player, he's just not what they're looking for right now in terms of getting bigger or faster.

My guess is he's the backup plan if they can't sign Vesey.

Again with hitting it bang on.

I'm not sure he fits in Boston, but I'm hoping they find a way. I'm a big believer in Seth Griffith.

 

[shackattack]

Lol to sit in minors

 

[ashnathan]

Sign and trade. Has to be.

 

[ashnathan]

Lol to sit in minors

Well he's no good to us in the NHL. Slow, weak, not exactly smart, no board battle skills to speak of. He has had numerous chances to stick with the big club and each time he comes up you barely notice he's in the team. Winter Classic was embarrassing especially.

 

[Danton Heineken]

Four A player. But there's no harm in having one or two of those.
