GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2020 - IX

[Mione134]

I could see Cehlarik leaving for good and going to the KHL and Pavel Shen maybe playing there for a year. Berglund may stay where he is at, he seems to be having a good start and is playing big minutes in Sweden. Maybe Sweeney is covering his bases signing these guys lately.

Makes sense. Its a very uncertain time going forward to the new season.

P-Tah is going the way of Koko. I doubt he gets back to the Bruins unless they get a new head coach. Shen I could see remaining with the P Bruins. He is not back in the KHL at this point and the season there is well underway.

 

[McGarnagle]

Is there even going to be AHL hockey this year?

 

[Deuce17]

I have been saying for a bit that Zboril should be on the team. I heard a sound bite of Sweeney saying something about working him in. Kid has nothing to learn in the AHL and as a bottom guy making 725,000 that is 2 million less than Moore. Every penny counts, put Miller on LTIR and bury McKegg and Ritchie in the AHL. Frederic is better then Frederic and also cheaper. Find a partner for Mac and sign Hoffman, Grizz and Jake. Find a home for Bjork and Moore.

Disagree with the bolded above. Frederic is not better than Frederic.

Last time I checked, we were almost full at the AHL level?

You missed the AHL contract only players, Woods,Asselin, Zech and Didier
There's at least 1 more but forgot his name

 

[DiggityDog]

I’m excited to see Zboril potentially contribute.

As for McKegg, if he sees time with the Bruins this upcoming season it likely means a seriously injury ravaged team.

I don’t even know who the hell Booth is so I’m not going to sit here and pretend like I have anything to add

 

[BTO]

Make it stop, please

Nine threads and going strong! Can you imagine if we actually signed actual players? Would have only been 3 threads because there'd be less to bitch about.

 

[Dr Hook]

Yep all the chatter would have gone into the individual player threads. Kind of sad when you think of it this way.

 

[Serge]

Sports Hub reporting that Bruins tried hard to land Josh Anderson.

 

[bp13]

Can't wait to see Linus McMinus in action.

It's good to get the studs like him signed first so you can prioritize, you know? Don't want to sign the riff-raff and be left with a cap crunch when a game changer like McMinus becomes available.

Any idea what his number will be? Wanna get that jersey order in.

He's already gone, signed in Swedish League months ago. Bruins just qualified him to retain his rights.

"Tried hard" = Someone in the office looked up his stats on NHL.com between naps.

Seeing what he got from MTL, I am glad he didn't end up here on that kind of a deal. I am guessing the Bruins were not going to do that much for him and they should not have.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Is there even going to be AHL hockey this year?

Yes, in Boston by the looks of it.

 

[Mione134]

I disagree, Frederic is better than Frederic who is better than Frederic.

Hey now, Don probably at least walked down the Hall to Cam's office to mention the name.

 

[The don godfather]

This booth kid might be a dusty diamond. Polish him off and he could be a quality starter.

surprised they didn't trade for David Booth

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Anyone could be. They just never are.

I’m not throwing in the towel because there is still time and cap space, but if the Bruins go into next season thinking either Kase or someone “internal” will solve the comically long-running 2nd line wing problem, I will roll my eyes so hard I might pass out.

 

[The don godfather]

I can live with signing Hoffman and zboril full time taking krug spot. Zboril looks prime and ready.

 

[CDJ]

I disagree, Frederic is better than Frederic who is better than Frederic.

i forgot how funny his parents reaction to his fight was

 

[tonino2424]

My guess is they wont sign anyone else besides Smith. F'ing team

 

[Number8]

Disagree with the bolded above. Frederic is not better than Frederic.

Don’t be so one dimensional. Frederic is most certainly better than Frederic. Even on his worst day. AINEC.

You can debate me if you want, but my mind is closed on the matter. Unless you can tell me one thing Frederic does better than Frederic. I dare you.

Best starter we had in Providence the past decade was Jordan Binnington.

I'm ok with that, as long as they go all-in at the deadline. Doesn't look like many teams will have the deadline space to go after big fish this year.
