And replaced him with Beleskey and dealt Smith for Hayes and dealt a 3 for Rinaldo.
They went for “size” in the 2015 draft. Liked Frederic and his limited ability but abundant size over a DeBrincat type. Went with a safe defensive type defenseman over guys like Vesalainen or Yamamoto or Robert Thomas....
I do think that has switched a bit but last May you had Neely complaining that you can’t have two small guys back on defense and they signed The 6-3 Moore in July.

You’re opposed to Heinen being showcased? Would he not be someone you would include in an enticing deadline deal?

would keep him unless it’s a big upgrade like Stone. Heinen should be top 6 for this team over DeBeusk and or Cehlarik

Is K Miller playing ahead of Moore because of his physicality or is it that Miller is more of an established guy and Moore is a newbie ? You could be right but I’m not sure it is that black and white . I don’t particularly like the K Miller - Krug pairing and would like to see it split up .

The hockey at times may not have been text book, however the Bruins were able to come out of the weekend with two big wins.
Good to get Halak back into the win column and hopefully now on a winning roll.

Kuraly is so good right now. Last year he would turn it over in the neutral zone but now hes money all over the ice. Would have been nice if McAvoy had finished that pass in OT.
I honestly think he's been good all season. Tough thing to do, but I think when everyone is healthy, dress your six best, regardless of handiness. McAvoy, Grzelyck, and Moore are your only three who can play comfortably in all situations IMO. Miller is the guy to sit. I've said he's a legit #4 previously. He's clearly your 7th best at this point in time however...

If the Bruins win on Tuesday they leapfrog the Leafs for 2nd in the division.

Bruins are now 8th place overall and only 4 points behind 2nd place Calgary yet many feel the Bruins should be sellers at the deadline . Hard to figure .

I completely agree your agenda and unfortunately it started at the 2015 draft. If Trent is packaged for one of Stone Duchesne or Panarin I don't think many here will be broken up about it.

Frederick looks to me like a kid who earned a shot with the big club. Has got it, and now knows the difference between an AHL top 6 and an NHL middle 6. He has a clear idea now what to work on and how far he has yet to go. Another year in the Dunk and we will see him next season. Was worth the look.
JFK played better than Frederic, but his play was not NHL level. He made good smart defensive choices, but his offense generation was not where the big club needed to be. I think what got him the return to Providence was a lack of consistency and some confidence building. I expect to see him back in Boston soon. Hopefully having learned something through the whole experience. How long he stays in Boston, however, is speculative. He has been in trade rumors here due to his value and if Donny has him in an offer to another team he might as well keep him with the P-Bruins. If not, he will return down when he is replaced with our 3C rental.
None of this will happen until the trade clog is cleared up. Seems everyone is holding onto their cash for the big Ottawa sale. Once that moves everything else will domino.

I personally think Killer is the weakest d of our top seven . I hope he is moved this summer . I know we are short on muscle on the back end , but miller is not an answer trade him for an up grade at some position . The team lacks grit so I think there has to be an upgrade there as well. Miller is simply not the answer. IMO Miller and either Griz or Krug should be moved in hockey trades
The games recently have been a struggle but there are some really positive takes as well. The Bruins finally beat Washington and at the same time Tuukka broke the franchise record for wins, they finally beat the Avs in Boston and they played for Bergy in his 1000th game and won. There is mental toughness to this team even though it seems the opposite at times. Get the trade deadline over with and let's see how much stress that takes off the young players.
