I’d love a trade for Ekholm and Forsberg but Boston has no assets outside of DeBrusk.

They could include some prospects and picks, plus I would have no problem adding Gryz to that deal.

 

[Baddkarma]

I like the signings so far, but we still need a vet goalie, help on D and #2Rw. We could sign Ullmark, provided much less than the $6M reported he wants, if not him we can trade for one, there will be a few available. Trades can fix the two biggest needs , the blockbuster maybe something bcbruin was referring to, but we get both Ekholm and Forsberg from NSH, obviously DeBrusk goes the other way with two of Vaak, Gryz or Zboril + Frederic + Studnicka + Vladar . Sign Haakenpa.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Hall -Krejci - Forsberg
Haula - Coyle -Smith
Nosek - Lazar - FA/prospect

Ekholm - McAvoy
Reilly - Carlo
Reilly - Haakenpa

Swayman
Ullmark or trade

Too good, makes sense for the Bruins, so it will never happen...

 

[Mione134]

Did Nosek play/effective in the playoffs ?

Yes

 

[TwineTickler]

If you put the 8-9 million they have left, with the 2-3 million for JDB, it's still possible.

Have to assume its really like 4 mil left... because apparently Krejci is on board... and you still need a goalie

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

at this point I'm guessing they are just gonna announce Krejci's deal at the 5PM presser or whatever.

 

[22Brad Park]

Sweeney had a good day.

 

[Gee Wally]

I mean I trust BCBruin... I trust Kirk... TSN has it.... so I imagine it has to be happening, but the no news about it is super odd

I do too.
Its just me.

 

[TobanWest]

At this point, signing Krejci doesn't count as news IMO....I hope it's more.

At least sign Krejci so I can stop refreshing pages.

 

[bbfan419]

I can take one Mike Reilly but a second would send me to Pluto in rage.

haha my bad meant Forbort

 

[mar2kbos]

same goes for Debrusk but at least Haula contributes in other ways

Did I say anything about Debrusk. Haula is a solid pickup but he is not that guy from Vegas. It was an anomaly

 

[bruinmann77]

They keeping Jake ?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Well signings those last 2 guys that can play left wing means all but the end for Ritchie and maybe Jake.

 

[Coach Parker]

I do too.
Its just me.

I believe it’s called the Iginla syndrome.

 

[The don godfather]

Thats cherry picking though. While solid, he isnt going to get those numbers. Plus look at his crappy plus/minus that year. That mean he isnt a good defensieve player, which isnt true, just a point

Better then signing coleman forever and setting up his retirement pension plan. We can get out of this in a heartbeat if things go south .but at 29 in his prime I say he earns that contract

 

[The National]

Who’s even left to fill that Top 4 LD spot? Did Ekholm get extended?

 

[Riverfront]

krejci, rask, & chara left to sign
see everyone in september for training camp.

 

[Alicat]

I have a feeling they are going to announce everything once they are done for the day.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Did Nosek play/effective in the playoffs ?

1 assist in 6 games

 

[LouJersey]

At least sign Krejci so I can stop refreshing pages.

hahahah agreed.

 

[Kate08]

Fantastic Four. Johnny Storm. A pre Captain America Chris Evans.

Chris Evans. Now you're speaking my language.

 

[rocketdan9]

1 assist in 6 games

Help??

Sigh

 

[mar2kbos]

Better then signing coleman forever and setting up his retirement pension plan. We can get out of this in a heartbeat if things go south .but at 29 in his prime I say he earns that contract

You are not understanding. He is a good player, he just isnt going to get close to that stat line again like he did for Vegas. It was an anomaly

 

[Mione134]

Well signings those last 2 guys that can play left wing means all but the end for Ritchie and maybe Jake.

Haula plays center and can play wing Coyle goes to RW or Center. I put him on win due to Haula playing better at the dot 55% there. Coyle isn't that great on faceoffs.

Nosek is on the 4th line so it doesn't effect Jake.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

krejci, rask, & chara left to sign
see everyone in september for training camp.

What year is this - 2013?

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Did I say anything about Debrusk. Haula is a solid pickup but he is not that guy from Vegas. It was an anomaly

He likely replaces Debrusk in the lineup with a comparable offensive ceiling and much better 200 foot game. That's why I brought up Debrusk.
