Confirmed with Link: Hall & Foligno to Chicago

[BigBadBruins7708]

not gonna get all worked up. they moved an average to good middle 6 winger and cleared up crucial cap space.

 

[McGarnagle]

Basically my entire opinion on this hinges on Bertuzzi. If he re-signs then good job Don. If we lose him over a few dollars in free agency and then our second line next year is Zacha, Pasta, and Lee Stempniak then I'm going to die.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Hall was a monster in the playoffs

Feel bad for the guy

Back to another lottery team

Sorry for him? He'll probably play beside Bedard and have an MVP season.

 

[LouJersey]

I’m an idiot then but I know you love me

If they sign Bert who’s 28 to six years whereas Hall has 2 years left and 32 this season

It’s absolutely the right move if shakes out this way

Marchand
Bert
DeBrusk
Pastrnak

As good a top 4 winger group around

Bert will be 35 when a 6 year deal expires. And he's never healthy. Would be insane to sign him long term IMO.

 

[TCB]

If they deal Hall to sign bertuzzi long term I will crack up. Idiotic move

Love Bert but Yep, I agree we need center help. My money on scheifele or Lindholm.

Ugh don't swear like that lol.

they better hope marchands hips hold up

 

[McGarnagle]

What's the purpose of Foligno? He's a UFA and I though compensation picks and such were not really a thing anymore in the current CBA.

 

[BadBruins]

Damn. Seemed like he really wanted to be here. That's cold, but part of the business I guess.

 

[Dellstrom]

Who had Foligno traded on their bingo card? WHO?

If anyone had the rights to Fliggy, I think its an automatic win.

Does it clear a roster spot today or something? He’s a great locker room guy and the Hawks are years away from contending so not surprised they would go after him for the 4th line/13th forward. But seems odd.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

how and why are we trading an ufa?

 

[missingchicklet]

And so it begins...



A guy as good and versatile as Hall on a reasonable contract doesn't get traded obviously unless it's a dump to acquire a big piece. Side note, DS likes his Mitchells.

 

[TCB]

Really, really odd… Saw Dregers tweet and had to check he was a pending UFA.

They want him (his presence) with Bedard. Gives them a little less than a week to negotiate with

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Christ I thought Bruins might get a pick of some sort.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

not even a pick? gonna be fun to get rid of all that crap we have eating cap space.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

What's the purpose of Foligno? He's a UFA and I though compensation picks and such were not really a thing anymore in the current CBA.

I think it gives them a few days to sign him before he actually becomes a UFA and nothing more. Guess they want a veteran leader to mentor Bedard and their other kids.

 

[Yeti34]

Oof hopefully more to come

 

[LouJersey]

Props to capologist Evan Gold who continues his streak of having the Bruins deal players for absolutely nothing to create cap space. At least there wasn't any picks attached.

I can't wait to read about how awesome Mitchell and Regula are now.

 

[Gee Wally]

What's the purpose of Foligno? He's a UFA and I though compensation picks and such were not really a thing anymore in the current CBA.

he’s not a ufa until July 1.
Maybe they want exclusive right to him for leadership. Which they are lacking with Berdard coming on board.

 

[13Hockey]

2 right shot Ds with nhl experience

Hopefully 1 of them can turn into cliffys replacement

 

[DKH]

Bert will be 36 when a 6 year deal expires. And he's never healthy. Would be insane to sign him long term IMO.

He’s 28 today

You get this from Felger & Mazz

He turned 28 day of past trade deadline

Bertuzzi would play 98% of a six year deal between 28-33 years old

Don’t make me put you on ignore

 

[FrankerC]

This guy called the trade a whole hour before it happened, wth

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

We traded Hall for a couple bottom pairing defenseman? Yikes.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Think it's a dumb move if they're picking the less skilled and equally as injury prone Bertuzzi over Hall and if it's just a cap dump there's at least two players you would think they could move easily before i would have moved Hall. Bertuzzi being younger means nothing when the team isn't in position to contend for a cup long term.
