I don’t understand to much you post but please explainI agree, Yzerman is doing a great job...He is "going for it"
I dont understand what you want me to explain ? Sorry.I don’t understand to much you post but please explain
Your answer worksI dont understand what you want me to explain ? Sorry.
What did you think of his Karlsson trade?
If there left side calls for keeping Krug I’m sure they would find awayNo matter how you slice it we're still potentially losing first pair defender and a 2nd pair 60 point defender. I won't blame people for wanting to win now cause we have a small window at the moment. There might be a window in 3 years too, but Bergeron and everyone else will be that much older. I also think this team could improve from within enough to win the conference, but adding a guy like Panarin would make them favorites and how could you not like that.
95% will have been at this training camp - so the players already part of the Bruins 50 max contractsI'm curious what your 2020 cup winning lineup looks like
That fight with Evander Kane where he got knocked out may revisit him later in life. You never know how brain responds and his got a serious bruise that dayIf only this were true, guys like Matt Cooke would be eating out of feeding tubes for a good chunk of their lives.
So why not this year ??? Or is it that .05% that is gonna put us over the top ?95% will have been at this training camp - so the players already part of the Bruins 50 max contracts

My guess is most of it comes down to the young guys developing/maturing.
Lots of teams have great young kids maturing...TAMPA for one. MATTHEWS could get better in Toronto and Marner and Nylander.....Philly has some great youngsters here now and coming. Nolan Patrick looked pretty good the last thirty games last year.
If thats the reason, We are not alone.
Really......So you take nothing into account that Bergeron, Krejci, Chara, will be no longer in their prime Backes is basically already finished......and that elite group just may not be what it was.....Hell of a gamble to waste 3-4 years of these "elite" guys to wait for youngsters to mature.....If thats was the plan, it was a poor one.Sure, but do they all have the same elite core in place? do they have the same amount of young talent asked to play the same type of minutes? Going into the 2020 season:
McAvoy - 3rd year
Carlo - 4th year
Heinen - 3rd year
DeBrusk - 3rd year
Donato - 2nd year
You asked why not this year and that's why. The extra year of development should be huge for those guys in order for them to become more consistent impact players. Then again as I explain this I realize maybe @DKH is right and you're just looking to be a troll
And actually those teams do have elite talent......Giroux, Simmonds, Voracheck, The Provorov kid, All they need is an elite goalie......Something we have in the regular season only......Tampa has plenty of veterans, So now does Toronto......Sure, but do they all have the same elite core in place? do they have the same amount of young talent asked to play the same type of minutes?

Let me fill you in....It is a teams duty to compete every year, Not wait four years. Especially since our core was 28-29 the Bergies and Krejci's when this guy took over. I say he should have traded the JFKs and the Bjorks and a few picks and went after it in 2015 and 16 and 17.....Thats when our elite core was still PRIME.....Wasted four years....SHAME on them...
They are trying to compete every year, going all in for a few left them depleted in prospects which kept them from being able to for a few years. They are again ready to compete every year, they have the assets to do so and used some last year to again go all in. I don't see what the problem is, Sweeney isn't looking to just burn assets in trades that aren't there to improve the team. It is frustrating at times seeing him not make trades, but he has also had better success counting on the kids to get the job done so I don't see the issue with him primarily playing to his strength. Part of the issue of playing with kids is they are less consistent but they also offer higher skill levels for a lower price. That is how the NHL is constructed right now and we are one of the top teams using that system. I just don't see where the issue is.And actually those teams do have elite talent......Giroux, Simmonds, Voracheck, The Provorov kid, All they need is an elite goalie......Something we have in the regular season only......Tampa has plenty of veterans, So now does Toronto......

The most valuable trade asset right now is the Avs holding Ott's unprotected 1st round pick since the Avs are a playoff capable team.
If the Avs loose some LD to long term injury, that's my target with a potential Krug trade.
