I rather have oel then hannifin tbh.
That would be a disasterGod I'm gonna be so disappointed with all this hype and all we do is resign DeBrusk and go for Mojo.
Way below market compared to which team?
Maple Leafs? They are ran poorly ...
To lower level teams that must overpay?
When you compare the Bruins to contending teams like Tampa, Blues, Stars... they are in line with $$ paid out
Let’s goThis is something Sweeney needs to do
Get idea what Hall wants and make follow up moves
When a team offers a better player?In what universe would you trade 88 63 and 73???
Fair, but they were locked up before contracts got Matthews level.So you think Brad/Pasta/Bergeron are $6 mill guys? Because I got news for you they’d each be making at least $3+ Mill more on the open market. He deserves credit for locking up his core at cheap rates
Sure but won’t put more fans in the seats. I think all the talk is coming from the financial Issues. Not all teams have owners who will spend with little return or certaintyJacobs has plenty of money. Yes, everyone has taken a hit, but if he wants to spend he can.
Don't hold your breathe for OEL to Bruins, I'd bet a 6'er that he's a Canuck before the end of the day.
I still think one of Nurse/Hanifin will end up in Boston
I sure as hell hope Krug does not get money that we should have been spending on Taylor Hall
1) He was on pace for 65 points this season which would be his 5th best offensive season and that is after having his best offensive season last year.Based on the comments around here to load up and get OEL/Hall, I guess I'm in the small minority that thinks the Bruins window is closed. The rational:
1) The health, age and offensive decline of the #1 Center
2) The durability, age of the 2nd line Center
2) Mental state and the possible departure of the Bruins #1 goalie
3) The potential departure of the Captian, who IMO the Bruins should move on from.
4) Lack of development from players the FO thought would have taken the next step: namely Debrusk, Bjork, Senyshyn, Zboril.
5) The failed attempt by Sweeney this past season to shore up the secondary scoring.
6) Potential departure of the Bruins best offensive defenceman.
Worst case scenario, the Bruins do land a big fish or two, losing prospects and cap space and they still fall to win the Cup. The next year with their 1st and 2nd line Centres another year older, chances would be even more slim. Can't help but flash forward to this scenario.
I relish and hope for a reload in all major areas of the team - Goalie, Centre and Defence. Bring in players and prospects on the cusp and in three years go full boar. Bergeron is not asked to be the scoring centre and can become the best checking centre this league has seen. One of the kids steps into the 2nd line center position. Bruins hit on a trade for a #1 centre #1 goalie, or land one a couple of years from now via UFA. McAvoy & Pastrnak begin to enter their primes.
With the chatter of letting Rask, Krug and Chara walk, and Neely/Sweeney's call for major changes, I'm wondering if the front office is on the same page as me.
He doesnt have a financial issue.Sure but won’t put more fans in the seats. I think all the talk is coming from the financial Issues. Not all teams have owners who will spend with little return or certainty
Makes sense, but damn. I’d easily get rid of Lindholm before Nordstrom.
The Hamilton to Carolina return I hope... Not the one we got.If he has to be traded, hopefully Sweeney can get a Hamilton type return
why because he’s a blue lol
I’m not seeing any other similarities tbh
You people have to be dumb. No one is going to offer better players so why even type that reply?When a team offers a better player?
Nordstrom is out 2PK winger as well. Unless he's getting paid more than 1 mil he's kind of a must sign IMO. No way one of the kids is killing penalties, unless he wants Bjork to?
never know, but that is how he could spin it.If its for Zadonov and Grubauer... is that a deal he couldnt refuse?
Donato, Maata traded and a couple of buyouts ....
Craziest offseason ever?
