It's sad but i think we all recognize it for the paper trade that it is.
I still feel badly that his career ended too soon.

I hope they do something for him one day. Some guys you miss because they were winners or played hard. I just miss watching him play and being blown away by the passes.

I'm assuming when this deal expires he signs a 1 day type contract and "retires" a bruins. Certainly should b that way. What a player, what a cheap shot, what a Shame. Really a fine player and yes, always a bruin.

I think all the new blood will be good for the team.
I think they developed some complacency-under Chia everyone felt safe. Sweeney not so much.
Belesky seems pretty happy and while Inhavent seen anything from Hayes he grew up around here so that's probably exciting.
Prices have been surprisingly and happily low. Really nothing crazy to speak of. Green's contract is high but the term is short.

Beleskey was ready to take less money to get here which sounds like he truly wants to be here, this team was dead when they traded JB and brought nothing in, now they'll see new guys who truly want to be here and play here, so that should be a good thing.
Hayes seems to be really happy with this.
Very hard to make up D pairings right now due to Seids/McQ, will be tough to push these kids straight to top4 because I really don't want to see McQ there, he is at his best on the 3rd pairing.
Krug also right now looks like a 1st pairing D because Seids-Chara can't happen.
right now if everything would go well and we don't see any addings D group of
Chara-Krug
Morrow-C.Miller
Seids-McQ
could work, 3rd pairing just tries to shutdown everyone and gets limited minutes, 2nd pairing brings offense and drives Rask crazy and 1st pairing has a bit of both, needless to say that is one weak group as it is, lot of things have to go perfectly for that to be anything better than bottom10 group in the league
I'd take a flyer on Oduya for short term. 3 years would be good. He can eat minutes.
Chara-Oduya
Seids-Krug
McQuaid-Miller
Mix and match. Maybe trade for another more experienced middle guy.

I'm more of a Morrow guy, I believe him to have more potential, we need strong puck movers and without trades Krug-C.Miller-Morrow would help in that, I just wish we won't see K.Miller-McQ pairing
Going to be a tough ask for young player to step up from ahl and play in the 1st pairing.
Oduya on a 2-3y deal could be okay, he can eat minutes and knows how to win, quiet but strong player.

That is basically the defense that missed the playoffs this year. We cannot contend or advance past the middle of the pack with that defense. We need to add a bonafide top four.
Jack Johnson, despite his flaws, is a guy who can eat a ton of minutes. His contract is reasonable, no word on if he is available. Also, now that we have traded Dougie, Smith and Lucic I don't really know if there is anyone else we can move at this point.

My biggest issue is we have Chara, Seidenberg, and McQuaid locked up for the next 3-4 years. Krug is someone that they shouldn't get rid of so that's a 4th spot. With having a few young defensemen on the cusp of breaking into the NHL it doesn't allow that much room if we sign a Veteran free agent. Would only allow one spot for 2-3 players to fight it out and improve.

Very weird, nothing about this guy. TSN had him as 4th or 5th (can't remember) "best" fa on the market.

I was going to add on my post that if they add a top4D then we really should trade Seids somepoint during the next season, soon we are going to have ton of young promising well skating D players ready to step up and I won't like it if this team is full of vets and we don't know how to say goodbye to them and by that weakening our lineup, also this team needs to somehow find a true #1D to replace Chara in just few years, now we have nothing. Without that you won't win in this league.
I'm looking at Chara-Krug-McQ will/should be locks for roster spots for few years while Linus-Morrow-Carlo-Zboril-C.Miller atleast will be pushing for roster spot soon.
But this team needs a new topD-man and it needs it now if Sweeney wants us to be in the playoffs, that D group is quite brutal and will make sure Rask will go crazy and we have a long summer again.
We traded Hamilton while not having any replacements in the system, that makes this a lot harder.
