Confirmed with Link: D Andrew Peeke for Jakub Zboril and a 2027 3rd Round Pick

[stungun54]

not sure what all the hate about coughing up a 3rd round pick is for. what like about 27% of 3rd round picks make it to the nhl.

 

[wintersej]

Im old enough to remember when Hampus Lindholm wasnt a healthy scratch on the worst team in the league

Role players like Peeke are so highly dependent on putting them in the right role. It never ceases to amaze me that folks don't get that.

 

[SPV]

Being on a good team in a playoff race will do wonders for attitude I bet. We’ll see. If he can get close to where he was the past two years, this is a win.

Can’t speak for everyone but it’s not so much the player or the cost, it’s the contract, given his play, that is a disaster.

 

[TCB]

The Bruins have made Wotherspoon a better player, and obviously see something in Peeke but giving up the third for a guy who's been a scratch (and there was speculation of a possible off-season buy-out ) in Columbus is more than puzzling to me. Hell I was thinking Zboril was enough.

Think their point still stands, a lot of posters were weary of the price paid because his stats were so bad on a garbage squad. It definitely worked out, Peeke at least fills a need, hopefully it works out too

 

[Mione134]

What does this mean for Regula?

We don't have the cap space to bring him up.

Or Beecher.

Or Lysell.

Etc


It sucks because Regula definitely deserves a look.

I was talking more for next year. I sorta had him penciled in as the 7th Dman.

I remember McQuaid and Boychuk and the parade we had when they were acquired, because everyone knew they’d be such quality players and teammates here.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

This is a guy who I think can be good in a solid defensive system like we have. He might be a pleasant surprise and gives us depth for the playoffs. I think he will give us Clifton level play in the least and should be better than Forbert.

 

[Pia8988]

Donnie is such a clown.

 

[BruinDust]

I remember McQuaid and Boychuk and the parade we had when they were acquired, because everyone knew they’d be such quality players and teammates here.

Like Boychuk and McQuaid (and K.Miller), I think Peeke will fit in well here playing a zone defensive system. All he really has to do here is keep it simple and be physical and there should be a spot for him on 3rd pair RD and some PK duty.

 

[Mad-Marcus]

So a young player quitting on his team rather than trying to improve it is a better scenario for you? Yikes that's some horrendous logic, bro

We had to pay someone to take Zboril, now they have a contract slot to sign a College FA.
As far as good or bad logic, I guess we'll see. Human's are complicated creatures, some need more nurturing than others. Not everyone is a leader and with poor leadership, some get lost. So I choose to wait and see him fail or at least be better/younger/cheaper than Forbort has been over his time in Boston. LA Kings fans laughed when we signed him, but last year he was a great 3rd pair D. Having the right partner and system can change everything.

I mean hey that McQuaid guy came from a shitty Columbus team too, bet most of us were like who TF is that

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

He will be pairing with Lorhei or more likely Gryz to help him with puck moving. Bringing him in allows the Bruins to keep Lorhei in the lineup without having to do a Gryz/Lorhei + Shattenkirk pairing. He adds size and toughness to the bottom pair. He will be able to allow you to lighten McAvoy's PK load so he will have more 5 on 5 minutes.

Let us hope. Of the two at least this trade might makes sense.

with Forbort and Maroon going on LTIR we have like 1.1 mil in space now, can bring up whoever we want.

 

[wintersej]

Wotherspoon and his ability to play both sides is the seventh D next year. They will add someone new to the LD side to play along with Lindholm and Lorhei. Probably someone that can provide some puck movement next to Peeke. Or maybe a bigger upgrade that moves Lorhei there.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Peeke excelled under Brad Larsen. Not so much under... Sorry I couldn't remember his name. Vincent. But his play under Larsen was what prompted the Jackets to sign him to a three-year deal. One no one questioned at the time. He was stalwart on the top four and deployed against difficult competition for two years straight on an awful club.

Hey, I could be wrong about Peeke. He may look like ass here. I don't know. But I think he's the perfect fit for this structure and he's going to alleviate a lot of defensive pressure from our top guys. And his contract is going to look like a steal for what he brings on a nightly basis.

I know nothing abour him but trust posters (like you) who do know.

He fits a role, is at an age that you can reasonably expect dmen to still improve given the difficulty of the position and came relatively cheap.

I understand the gripes from some, but I'll wait and see what he does here, I think him and Gryz would actually be a good 3rd pair if they keep Lohrei with Mac or Carlo.

don't know much about Peeke, but apparently he's big, hits, and if he can get the puck out of the D zone, I'll love him. And less money than we pay Gryzz to sit in the press box.

 

[N o o d l e s]

You can have the best trade deadline you’ve had in years and still get bounced in the first round as the far and away 1 seed so whatever

Big physical guy that moves Lohrei to the 3rd pair and lets McAvoy roam free on the first pair

With Lohrei on that pairing McAvoy has to play a more steady game and I think that takes away from what makes him great. Let the tiger run!

 

[TCB]

Im not hating the player and ill root like hell for him but Im not liking this deadline at all. Sweeney had Forborts 3mil LTIR and eventually a 3rd pick, in his back pocket heading into this week and he couldn't come away with a more impactful move.

 

[EverettMike]

Anytime you can trade for a guy with term getting benched by a terrible team and headed towards a buyout you make that move even if you have to give up a 3rd and they don't retain a cent.
