Sweeney likes depth, can’t see Nordstrom getting dealt

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Wtf are you talking about?

He hates every Bruins trade. Then he eats crow when the players come in and do well.

 

[Gordoff]

No but their sister used to kick their asses so she's a willing combatant. Sweeney looking into signing her....

 

[Krupp]

Agree and thin

Agree, and think about it Heinen has played on basically every line

Honestly, I think this is my biggest problem with Heinen; dude was given multiple opportunities to play with Krejci and Debrusk. He had one of the best centers Boston's had in a good long while to play with and a guy who looks like a perennial 20 goal scoring on the other wing to pass to, and he seldom could ever take advantage of it.

I don't view the whole 'line swapping' as a serious reason for why this guy's scoring has struggled. If he's that weak mentally that swapping linemates has dampened his confidence like that, then that's not a core player I'd want going forward.

Marchand is significantly smaller and started out on afourth line, and then awhile later looked his coach in the eye and guaranteed a 20 goal season, and he went out there and f***ing did it. Heinen doesn't seem to have that same fire. I appreciate what he did bring to the team, defensively, but you gotta be able to bring more than just that. It'd be the same thing for a guy who can score but can't or won't backcheck, can't be relied on physically, can't PK and only gets all of his points on the powerplay; a specialist is a just a specialist and doesn't take you real far.

Hell, thinking about it, i"m fairly certain even Peverley, who also was smaller than Heinen, had two or three times his fire and grit when he played in Boston.

I assume Krug’s extension will be announced sometime today. With all this money saved.

I dont know how to input GIFs... but insert the Michael Scott GIF "God no, Please no, God, NO NO NOOO" Etc

 

[GoBs]

Agree and thin

This is a myth that so many people here say. Heinen didn't produce at all, and people keep falsely bring up "WELL HE WAS A PLUS PLAYER!" - Yeah, because his two line mates put the puck in the net and came to play. Peace out, Danton Heinen.

MY ONLY CONCERN IS FINDING THE TOP 6 GUY..KASE IS NOT IT. 1:24:00 TO FIND IT

 

[tkddad]

AA leads Detroit in +/- with a -45!!!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I hate this. Essentially a 2nd/3rd line tweener with upside for a 4th/3rd line tweener without much. Heinen was a good player last playoffs. Heinen was fine to be traded but not for a clear downgrade. Gross.

Okay. So Heinen being a 2nd line tweener has sailed. He is what he is; a 3rd liner. Ritchie is not a 4th liner. He's a 3rd liner.

 

[Sheppy]

If they get Palmeri, I'll do a backflip, and I have a bad knee and haven't attempted one in like 10 years.

[KillerMillerTime]

So long Dainty Heinen. Gonna miss that
Generational Stick.

 

[goalieman40]

So does looking at the Ducks deals combined make it look better or worse?

Kase + Ritchie for Heinen, Backes (25% retained) + 1st

Beats my zero all time back flips!

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

 

[BAD BOY]

Can we get one more hot rumor for the road.

[Bruinfanatic]

Doubt it think they would have bye now

 

[BAD BOY]

Well the Stone deal went down around 2:30ET last year so who knows what can happen.

 

[Mantis]

He hates every Bruins trade. Then he eats crow when the players come in and do well.

I think veganbruin saw that Ritchie was 232lbs and assumed he eats too much meat!

 

[Alicat]

It pains me but if you can get a pick for Nordy you do it

 

[Sheppy]

I know he's not popular here, but it would be sweet if both Ritchies played in a game or two this year.

If I had to bet my life on it right now one way or the other, I'd say this is basically the group we're going to war with.

 

[8Neely8]

Not that it matters, but Ek says Bruins out on Palmieri but still in on Thornton
