This is exactly why I didn't think they'd be real players in the Tavares sweepstakes. Too many of their own homegrown players coming due in the next year or two.

Has Sweeney or the Bruins said anything yet about their offer to Tavares? After hearing the rumors of some of the offers, I can't think the Bruins were serious in this pursuit.

i think DS rather keep his young player and role with them

you didn't think they were serious in the Tavares pursuit before the offers were revealed.

I personally think if he didn’t select them they would not have gone after him because they got McAvoy & DeBrusk coming up

If this was the State of the Bruins when they signed Beleskey & Backes coming off DNQ for playoffs they’d be bent over at his front door

My only concern is the age and injury history at center

Other than that bring on the JVR less Leafs

 

[Blowfish]

No JVR or Maroon. Not a bad day for don.

You always hope for a big splash, the new toy, my laundry needs proper filling!

So far we've gotten very Harvard moves, blue chipping, improving (we're not getting a new kitchen but the foyer gets new carpet) and planning ahead.

Now it's time to drink and remember that 37+63+88=19,666,666 ... lol, love Pasta's contract number and how it skews things.

Yes, I've been skeptical of this the entire time. I didn't think the Bruins interest in him was genuine. If he'd sign at a price they liked, sure. But only then.

 

[bruins repeat time]

Riley signs for 2.75 per /3 yrs . That seems to be a huge loss that wasn't necessary .

 

[Sevendust]

Lets be serious. Getting Tavares would have been a serious home run for the Bruins. Bergeron and Krejci are not getting any younger and now they also have to find a good third line center for reasonable money. Leafs can improve their D by trading one of their blueship prospects or youngsters. You have to congratulate them after today. The only good thing is that the stanley cup isnt won paper

 

[Dr Hook]

No I don't

Like saving for kids college coming up

The bill next year will be for Kids

Riley signs for 2.75 per /3 yrs . That seems to be a huge loss that wasn't necessary .

Dreger said 2.4 per. They could have had Nash and khudobin instead of Wagner, Nordstrom, and Halak.

There’s no longer much money for them unless they are done making moves. Kuraly still will be paid and at best i’d Say that will leave them 2.5 under the cap. 7.25 after chara and about 10ish after mcquaid. For carlo, mcavoy, heinen. Donato.

The money he needed for those guys he wasted elsewhere in seriously mediocre moves. At some point we just have to say that out loud and accept it.

Signing Backes and a few others and passing on Barzal is the cup window. The league is brutally tough, you can't make mistakes that big and bring home the ultimate prize.

Just because you say it, doesn't make it true. Stop f***ing bitching about Barzal. Good f***ing lord, you people are annoying as f*** lmfao. Whiniest bunch in the NHL.

I mean, the Cup Champs traded away Filip Forsberg for nothing.

But I agree with the point about Nash. Then again, the Bruins looked like a fringe team a year ago so I'm going to give management some slack.

Stop talking about passing three times on the first rookie to drop a point per game in ages? I dunno man, if we're talking about Don Sweeney, it's gonna be hard to avoid. Specially with aging c's. It's forever a part of his legacy now.

Easy to put up points when your team doesn't play defense.

Fine... at least he didnt do this signing

Which signing?

Criticizing isn’t whining. Whining would be like “oh tavares is such a loser for not coming here why didn’t he just come to Boston I hate him.” That’s whining

I personally don't care about losing A.K but Riley is a huge huge loss. If he wouldve got 4 million or something ok but I am stunned we let him walk for this unless he wanted out for some strange reason .

Bringing up the same point over and over and over is "whining," not "criticizing". It's the same bunch who do it.

 

[DrJustice]

I'm gonna be honest, I expected a lot more hate.

This is pretty mild for the over-reactionary crowd.
