After everything we heard about Hall, hearing things about Suter doesn't surprise me. However, perhaps coming here he can be good and not a drag?

Just a thought.

 

[DKH]

I’ll start off thread with not surprised if Zboril is picked as being reported

Leach likes and he’s more a complete player than Lauzon

I read Matt Porter 3 part series assessing the type of players Frederic DeBrusk Ritchie Zboril Lauzon & Clifton are and only one he was off on - and off was Zboril

best scenario for everyone and especially Zboril is go to Seattle

simplifies the Bruins D big time

right side set but a 4th guy and left side needs only 1 top 2 pair with Vaakanainen being 4th

nice and neat

Just a thought.

Why would he be a drag? I've never heard anything about Suter relative to good locker room guy, bad locker room guy. He's 36 and durable. If they can get him for a decent price -- a big if -- I'd sign him.

They have nothing in the cubbard. Sweeney has traded away first round picks more than once, and again, the Bruins prospect pool has been rated at or near the bottom of the league. Think about that.

I don't know what the experts around here say about Suter, but I'd at least inquire, and that appears to be the case.

Crap if this is true I’m the happiest guy on the board! For me Zboril’s mental game is terrible. This won’t get better with age.

Based on things Dom has hinted I would have to believe things we heard about Hall and those we heard about Suter are vastly of a different nature.

Great regular season D. Not tough enough for playoff hockey for me.

Vegas odds are it’s him

if they pick him it’s because Leach sees something you don’t

I would rather keep Lauzon & Clifton as well

Go search the topic last night Dom and Wally shed light on him being a manchild

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

I’m with Jaffe and Razor. I think it is Clifton that goes tomorrow night.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I’m a simple man. Dom says stay away from Tarasenko and Suter, I stay away from Tarasenko and Suter.

They wiped out Capitals who were very tough

they were up 2-1 in series when Carlo was in lineup

they are and were plenty tough enough - the problem was
1. Injuries to Carlo specifically
2. Miller toughness

the same team that went into Capitals game 5 (Miller got hurt) crushes Islanders 4 maybe 5 games

I wouldn't say they'd crush them but I'd probably give them the edge. Maybe I'm biased idk.

“I’d be really unhappy if I left Tampa. I plan on retiring here. I really don’t want to go to Seattle.”

I completely took Killorn's quote out of context. I thought he just flat out said he didn't want to go to Seattle but what he really is saying that he wants to retire as a TBL. I have a lot of respect for him as much as I may dislike playing against him. Don't have any problem with this anymore.

Predicted this myself a few weeks back. I hope not

It would really leave us with a gaping hole on the right side. I literally can't think of any other RHD we have. Miller retired and Kampfer signed in the KHL.

I missed Dom's posts, and Wally's, about Suter. What were their points, in brief?

I will. Thank you. Any idea what page(s) in the the Kracken thread?

 

[JOKER 192]

To me, anyone but Lauzon.

 

[Over the volcano]

I’m with Jaffe and Razor. I think it is Clifton that goes tomorrow night.

In vacuum he'd be my pick if I were Seattle - but considering who else might be filling that d from other teams, and the fact that I don't know shit, then it could be anyone.

 

[DKH]

I wouldn't say they'd crush them but I'd probably give them the edge. Maybe I'm biased idk.

Bruins were 6-2 against Washington & Islanders both overtime loses and they lose Carlo on top of Miller. Screwed

5 games max

I think Tampa beats Bruins in 6

if there payroll Is same as Boston taking Bruins in 4 maybe Tampa goalie steals a game

Orlov's probably the happiest guy in the world to read about Miller's retirement. Will be watching Marchand around him when they play again.

Zboril actually kind of makes sense if you think about it. He's got the highest offensive ceiling of the 3 defensemen options. Frankly, none of the Bruins expansion options are particularly good, so if you're Seattle, just go with the one with the highest ceiling, unless you can line up a trade for another one.

With his 80 lbs of extra large goalie equipment. He made Price look like a Somalia marathon runner
