GDT: NHL/BRUINS - FREE AGENT FRENZY - JULY 1st - II

Remember when the power rangers used to morph into that super power ranger guy?

I think Sweeney is trying to do that with 4th liners

The Bruins FA haul looks like the cookie tray at work if I get there 30 min late.

Bruins already with many very good cookies in their roster.

Trade Miller and Backes to create cap space and bring back Johansson, sign Lee/Ferland or trade for someone.

Thanks for your time Zane.

Good luck in Vancouver

 

[Intangibos]

Not likely. Kuraly, Nordstrom and Wagner are much better currently. Unless they are being traded he should be a Providence Bruin.

What a shame. He's one of those guys that gets the rep of an AHL tweener and clears waivers when in reality he's definitely good enough to be a regular. His issue is that he's the ultimate low-event player. Gets 70%+ defensive faceoffs on a trash team and gets replaced by a guy that scores 8 more points for 4x the cost.

Oh well, fingers crossed that he'll break out.

Yeah he has some loyal fans here in Vancouver who hoped for more.

Cheers!

Rangers are building a nice team.
They will bounce back well.If Kaapo adapts quickly and becomes a star ..NY will Be force moreover if Kravstov develops... Watch out

 

[ranold26]

It's too bad Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin couldn't have given an offer sheet to Bruins Charlie MacAvoy.

 

[DominicT]

44/50 contracts in Boston with Heinen, Carlo, McAvoy, JFK and Cehlarik to sign.

That would take them to 49/50.

You got more then I got

 

[Coach Parker]

You gotta think signing the 5 remaining RFA's (Carlo, McAvoy, Heinen, JFK and Cehlarik) bringing them to 49/50 contracts would mean that a trade is in the works.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Every time I see that 43 on the top six I cringe.

Yeah feel the same way,always hearing he stepped up and played well when Pasta was out, Riley Nash stepped up and played well when Bergy was out the season before also,doesn’t mean either one could play their regularly.

In other words the Beleskey retain coupled with Backes deal is killing me.

 

[LouJersey]

Lindholm and Ritchie don't really count tho you can demote em.

 

[JCRO]

 

[BAD BOY]

In other words the Beleskey retain coupled with Backes deal is killing me.

Underwhelmed

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

lindholm and gaunce are a little bit strange to me... I probably misspelled both too

I could see them both tickted to ahl to give our team down there a chance at a championship. or I could see backes being moved and filling our 13th forward spot with someone a lot cheaper like one of these guys

I guess when its minimum salary it doesnt matter a lot... depth never hurts

 

[Number8]

Is that legit from the Canes group? If so, bravo. Magnifique.

 

[Coach Parker]

You got more then I got

13 NHL Forwards
7 NHL Defencemen
2 Goalies
21 Non-Roster
5 RFA's

One off? 48/50?

 

[Sevendust]

Believe we wont see the Bruins signing any top players via free agency for the near future. Think that the mentality is like in a company that has a high reputation. The boss is telling you that he won't pay you the overpriced market value (Marchand, Pasta) for your service but assuring you that you will have a great working environment, a great place to live and he wants to be the company successful. Now the boss turns around and goes out and pays somebody who will do the job as good as you or even worse a lot bucks more than he offered you to stay in the past. How would you feel?

Cap friendly is saying 40/50.

Not where the discrepancy lies.

 

[Coach Parker]

I love this so much. Well done. Now sit on it a week for Montreal to have to hold everything up OR let them attack another RFA!

 

[SPV]

A Backes to Ottawa deal just makes too much sense. I can't believe it hasn't happened already. Unless he has declined to waive, or they aren't on his trade list.

I like the low key signings we've made, and would like either of Ferland or Johansson back at the right price.

Yeah, Puljujarvi would look so much better...

LMAO.
