Seguin at 23 goals has surpassed what the top Bruins goal scorer averaging at 82 gms

[Reverend Mayhem]

How has no one mentioned the Thornton trade to San Jose yet?

I feel like I'm getting old.

 

[Brooklanders*]

Marchand and Smith is averaging 21

Is the Seguin trade the worst since 2006 lockout?

I said it before and I'll say it again Seguin is a top five player in the league.

 

[dirk41]

Most overrated player in the league. He's racking up tons of goals while his, and his teammates team play is awful. He's a dangerous sniper but he should probably be a winger considering his defensive play.

But hey, let him keep racking up huge individual numbers in a losing cause. It's what all the great ones do.

Yeah, it's +6 player's fault (best on the team) that the Stars are a -18. also his fault Dallas has the second worst save percentage in the league.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

How is it a bad trade, Seguin may not have developped this way in Boston under that system and he was a lockeroom problem to a SC contender, they did what had to be done and got 2 contributing roster players in return.

Made me feel better. McDonagh may not have developped this way in MTL

Meanwhile in Boston, they can't score and continue to lose.

 

[Nicko999]

Nope, Gomez.

It's top 3 since the 2005 lockout but I think the worst is Filip Forsberg for Martin Erat.

AT least, we got 59 pts out of Gomez in the first year. 108 pts total in 196 games.

Erat had 27 pts in 62 games for Washington.

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

The question isn't whether the Seguin trade was bad, but rather which Seguin trade was worse.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Not a bad trade at all for Boston.

 

[Seb]

At first I really thought the trade was good for the Bruins because Seguin is such a god damn doutche who had off the ice issues. Addition by substraction. Plus I really loved Loui Eriksson, a 70pts player who was flying under the radar.

But right now the trade looks really freaking bad for the Bruins.

Sure, let's blame Seguin because the Stars have 2-3 legit NHL dmen, and those guys are struggling.

Not saying TS can't improve defensively, but that would be rare for someone of his age.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

No. Bad trade for Boston but no where near McDonagh for Gomez, Forsberg for Erat and Rask for Raycroft. Those are among the WOAT trades.

Wow there have been some terrible trades since the lockout, lol. Seguin is def top 5.

 

[Over the volcano]

Yes it's Seguins fault Dallas' second line isn't too good.

It would look better with Eriksson and Smith on it.




I kid, I kid.

 

[BLONG7]

Not a bad trade at all for Boston.

Come on now, the biggest supporter of the b's knows it was a bad trade...they got a decent return, but it was a bad trade...

 

[eFFeRR]

Seguin is fantastic. Only knock on him was his "personality" not his defensive play. He is actually not to bad without the puck on his stick.

Whether he would of flourished like this in Boston is another story, but yeah a huge loss for the Bruins.

Still not as bad as McDonaugh and Forsberg like people have mentioned.

 

[Pyrophorus]

The question isn't whether the Seguin trade was bad, but rather which Seguin trade was worse.

Only been traded once, unless it happened in the O?

 

[Burke the Legend]

How has no one mentioned the Thornton trade to San Jose yet?

I feel like I'm getting old.

That wasn't bad... They decided they were never gonna win a cup with Jumbo Joe as their #1 guy. They were correct.

If you were a Boston fan I'd say you were bitter. Dude is not the most overrated player in the league in any way.

So because the team is not winning he should stop scoring? How does that work in your head?

 

[MilanKraft*]

Sorry, there is more to being "the best player in the NHL" than scoring goals.

Not really....point of hockey is to score goals.
Everything else is just a byproduct of circumstances.

Jordan score the most points
Gretzky score the most goals...

They lost a lot too early and later. ..

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Soft player who shines when playing soft minutes.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

This has to be a joke.

He is the best player in the NHL right now and it isn't even close. He is tearing up the league and outperforming league superstars who are on President's trophy teams, while he is on one of the worst.

 

[Derrty]

Terrible trade, no doubt about it.

 

[Pi]

That wasn't bad... They decided they were never gonna win a cup with Jumbo Joe as their #1 guy. They were correct.

So just trade him for spare parts? Thornton trade was bad, them winning the Cup ~6-7 years later doesn't change that.

 

[guapo23]

Worst trades of the past 25 years include two each from Montreal & Boston :

Montreal : Roy. Gomez

Boston : Thornton, Seguin


This is one area of competition that these two bitter rivals will gladly let the other team win the next one!

 

[Blitzkrug]

At the time of the deal, i thought it was good. Most Bruins fans knew Seguin would explode the moment he was traded. The return looked good on paper. Two good prospects in Smith and Morrow, Fraser, a NHL ready guy in Eriksson. I thought it was a win win for both sides. Dallas got a guy to build around, and Boston got pieces to keep the machine going, or so to speak.

What most of us did not count on however, was Eriksson completely falling off. The Bruins can't score and have no gamebreaking forwards to score said goals.

 

[G0AT]

If I were the Bruins I would be kicking myself for making that trade. Their injuries have lead to a lack of scoring in which Seguin would have picked up to at least Keep the team a float at the top of the east.

They are really really struggling hard right now.
