Good signing, kid deserves it. Him & Grz look great, what do you do when Cliffy comes back?
Gotta think you stick with Lauzon.

As much as I like Cliffy, I like Lauzon better. Cliffy didn't progress as much as I thought he would this season. Griz has also been a bit disappointing this season, but for sure has looked better since Lauzon came up. The Bs are insane if they do not have Lauzon in the lineup for the playoffs, provided he hasn't been traded of course. An added bonus with Lauzon is that he brings some nasty, which will be needed.Good signing, kid deserves it. Him & Grz look great, what do you do when Cliffy comes back?

Exactly, and I think that’s why he stays in over Cliffy, and certainly Moore. Cliffy brings the nasty but is less reliable than Lauzon it seems. Lauzon also has more of the frame for that game.As much as I like Cliffy, I like Lauzon better. Cliffy didn't progress as much as I thought he would this season.

Trade him (assuming he's healthy).Good signing, kid deserves it. Him & Grz look great, what do you do when Cliffy comes back?......
That’s fair, I wouldn’t be heartbroken.Trade him (assuming he's healthy).
But why? He’s a great #7 option on a great contract. The team needs lots of D depth if they expect a long playoff run.Trade him (assuming he's healthy).
I don't disagree, but you can only keep so many...But why? He’s a great #7 option on a great contract. The team needs lots of D depth if they expect a long playoff run.
I'm not convinced Clifton is any good. He has 2 points in 30 games. If you are thinking that he looks decent out there a lot of the time, you have to consider that virtually every Bruins defenceman does. It's not because all of our defencemen are super awesome, it's because they're well insulated.
Will you PM me when you post something positive about the Bruins or one of their players? I haven't seen it and I think it would be an event worth celebrating.
Liked his game last night
Not scared to pinch
Yup. He also shows this propensity for being aggressive in the D-zone, forcing his partner to switch sides more often than should happen, which I'm sure the coaches hate, but I kinda like it. He's got this bull in a china shop way about him, and I hope they don't try to reel that in too much.
That's what I want and I'm hoping for. I know that would probably make a lot of people nervous... but Lauzon is ready and I think Vaak is ready.
Gryz-Mac
Lauzon-Carlo (potential to be the best shutdown pair in the league)
Vaak-Clifton
ex: Moore or cheap UFA pickup
While the depth of the D core would take a hit, we have Axel coming, Zech looks solid, Zboril if he's still around... and I trust Sweeney to find someone to fill in that depth. This D core probably makes a lot of fans nervous, but that excites the shit out of me. Best skating D core in the league right there. Mac/Lauzon/Carlo/Clifton bring the size/heavy/physical aspect.
I think we need that (Krug) money allocated up front personally like I said, and I'd love to see this D core in action, but we will see what happens.
I don't we'll see it... but what jumps out is that those top 6 would only make a little over $10M combined next year.
Lauzon-Carlo
Future top shutdown and PK D-pair. And I don’t mean just Bruins top pair, I mean in the whole league (in a few years).
