Player Discussion Ondrej Kase

They had to move Backes because of the bad contract DS gave him

As dumb as this sounds but I don’t care. I wish we just buried Backes in Providence and kept the draft pick. He only had one year anyway. Plus Sweeney did basically nothing this year FA/ Trade wise. I’m sorry this one is on poor management. I call it like I see it. Backes only had one year maybe buy him out and save somewhat a little.

Kase will be fine I will do a mild book it. 16 goals end of year.

In the AHL or KHL maybe.....he'll be very lucky to get five or six in the NHL...book it.

 

[smack66]

I'm guessing Stud slots into his spot if he is out for a while

 

[smithformeragent]

Yeah, we’re not going the 2015 draft talk here either.

In the AHL?

I really feel terrible for the guy. If it is another concussion, which it certainly looked like to me, he's got to take a long hard look at whether his hockey career is worth the potential long term health effects. I'd hang them up without a doubt if I was in his situation - it's just not worth it, as sad as that may be. Hopefully it's not that severe but even that he got injured off of some relatively innocuous contact is not a good sign.

As far as the trade, I think it was a calculated risk on Sweeney's part. I basically view it as two parts: he gave up the 1st to get Backes's money off the books and Andersson in exchange for Kase. I think it was a reasonable risk. Andersson is an okay prospect but not much of a standout. I liked the trade at the time and still like Kase as a player.

I don't think a lot of people realize that he was looking like he had top line potential just a few years ago. He was on pace for 30 goals before he was concussed two years ago. Obviously he's been derailed since then but it wasn't crazy to think he could return to form - look at Bergeron for just one example. I just hope he's alright now and can continue to play.

Are either of you folks available when I play Mega Millions on Tuesday?

If Kase is out for a while who gets his minutes? Senyshyn finally up for the test?

He is very little help..Bruins GM has made some big blunders

Much like when we signed Hall.

 

[Sheppy]

Much like when we signed Hall.

Apparently we had half of the NHL at one point signed

 

[Sheppy]

Sucks to say it, but this guy won’t be what we expected (well, some people expected)

 

[remer]

Too often he has his head down and sets himself up for collisons. Not much of a hit but it didn't look good. Hope for the best but maybe being sidelined for awhile is a good thing. Might make Sweeney make some moves.

 

[chizzler]

Not feeling it from this player.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Krejci passing to kase is like Brady passing to Jacoby Myers ( i know Krejci isn't as good as Tom)

 

[HumBucker]

Hard to tell, but that doesn't look like a concussion to me. Guys don't usually put their hand/glove up to their mouth/nose/face if they've just received a brain injury. Maybe more likely it's teeth/nose/jaw?

Did he look wobbly or unsteady going off the ice?

 

[JAD]

Hard to tell, but it looks like the shaft of the Jersey stick caught him across the face.

Not very. But two people did help him up from the bench and to the locker room.

 

[Blowfish]

Let's hope for a speedy recovery...Bruins could use his speed and energy. He needs to get that first goal for his confidence.

“Mild book it”

Yeah, that's my favorite "book it" related post so far.

 

[Top Shelf Wrister]

He's not a player I'm expecting anything from anymore. Another bad trade by Sweeney.

Everyone looks like a genius with hindsight. When the trade was made, on paper, it was decent. Unless you’d rather Backes back? Ya know, the guy who cleared waivers..
