Speculation: rebuild? :(

[Bosnyi]

hate to say it but... rebuild? we aren't going to win the stanley cup with our current roster and our prospect pool is basically non-existent beyond potential bottom 6 players and depth dman.

i'd trade just about everyone except lucic, bergeron, and our younger players (pastrnak, hamilton, etc)

You cant be serious

Lol?

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Have you seen the goalie???


Our D aren't that bad.


Do you remember 2010 when Rask beat Ryan Miller who was Vezina level that year with guys like Hunwick and Wideman playing huge minutes???

I see problems in a couple years on D but this years team looks fine assuming there are no boneheaded decisions on the forward lines by Julien and Chara and Seidenberg can kick it up a notch. Its a contender if Rask keeps his play up.


Playing every series as the road team isn't a problem we would have a problem winning games 1+2 at home anyways.

Time to trade Tuukka for Stuart, Sturm and Primeau

I think it's hilarious that you chose now to raise this question

 

[Iceage]

With the recent trade for Connolly, the play of Pastrnak/ Spooner, Hamilton, Morrow / Subban in Providence, Ferlin and 3 picks in the first two rounds, the Bruins have a good balance between youth and core players. Hopefully, PC will address the D in the off season. The future looks bright for the Bruins. I would even think of trading a second Rd pick to move up in the draft to get the can't miss defenceman.

Comon mannnnnn!

The only thing I would rebuild is the 4th line and get another solid defender/drop Bart pick up ??????.

Next year with the mix of youth and vets this team will be fine, Bruins fans are just spoiled of being so good for so long.

You better find yourself a bar of soap to put in your mouth. This team is peaking in time for the playoffs. I really don't understand why you're now posting this thread. I accept your opinion, but I disagree. Retool in the offseason, not rebuild. There's a difference.

You're an Islanders fan looking at prior posts. You converting to Boston after the Mike Milbury like insane contracts given to Leddy and Manchuck?

Welcome aboard- but tweek the D not a rebuild when your top 9 as of today average age is 26

 

[OutspokenMinority*]

bring up the kids from Pawtucket!

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I particularly like the frowny face in the title. In the midst of a great run. Well done OP.

There is no need for a rebuild now.

Damn. The new woman is making me fall way too far behind

I have a leaky faucet in the kitchen.

Time to rebuild the house

I agree with the OP that the Bruins are not winning the Stanley Cup this year.

After they lose in the finals, a good draft and a small tweak or 2 to the D corps. and they may win it next year!

After the BC trade, it's two now, right?...

Picks in the first two rounds, not women.

You are correct good sir!!

Can you believe I had to look it up? I was confused there for more then a moment.

The sad face in the thread title is the cherry on the cake

I've always felt that being a contender is cyclical and a lot of GM's hold on to their core too long and end up being on the bad end of it (Calgary, Vancouver). The choice to sell will come in the off-season, let's enjoy some hockey until then. Rask has the ability to win a series by himself, a healthy Chara in the playoffs is still better than anyone else in the east on the back-end.
