I'm not sure I'd call a contract that pays McDonagh big money until he's 36 a good deal, let alone a ridiculously good one.

If he makes it to the end of that deal without being bought out I'll be shocked.

Bruins going to pay Wagner and Nordstrom a combined 2.25-2.5 million per year over the next two seasons for two guys that will combine for 100-110 games. This is the exact stuff chiarelli got chastised by the media and fans for.

Sweeney has been great through the drafting process but not good when it pertains to overpaying for free agents. Not a good look right now.

lol, come on

They needed more bang, Wagner was 3rd in the league in hits. Nordstrom is depth city. In today's economic climate what do you want to pay for two role players?

Brodziak signs a deal for 1.1-1.2 million with Edmonton but the bruins pay Wagner 1.25m and Nordstrom 1m. Unreal.

He really screwed over the Isles. I wonder if the room was divided. Maybe he seen Barzal stealing his thunder going forward.

Moral of the story is not to let your franchise player enter his UFA season unsigned.

Have to either extend while you have control over the asset or trade for at least some value before you’re left holding the bag, which in this case was a playoff DNQ.
