Injury Report: Seidenberg to miss remainder of season with torn ACL/MCL
- Thread starter Minny Shinny
- Start date
Not in Massachusetts it's not.....Bobby Orr always has and always will be the first name that ever pops into my head when any conversation about hockey 'greats' comes up. It's what we know. It's what we saw. It's what we loved....and lost. Gretsky & Orr played in the days where if you didn't live in the region of a teams broadcasting you didn't get to watch them very often, if at all.

Their defensemen are still better than just about everyone else's, especially in Julien's system. Their forward depth is ridiculous, and Rask is the best goalie in the league. I'm not saying this doesn't really hurt them, it does, but we are still in it as much as anyone else. It's just going to be a lot harder to shut down ****tsburgh like we did last year in the ECF.

obviously this sucks. feel terrible for Seidenberg, hopefully his recovery goes well.
I'd like to see them give the young kids a chance and see if anyone really grabs the spot. reevaluate near the trade deadline. for all those suggesting Miller, doesn't he have to pass through waiver if he is called up again? if that's the case I can't see him being called up unless there is some loop hole or something.
for everyone suggesting only right handed defensemen as a replacement I really think this is the year that Chara and Seidenberg would have been split up. if they kept them paired that would leave two right handed defensemen on the second pair in Boychuk and Dougie. I think we would have seen Chara-Hamilton and Seidenberg-Boychuk this year if everyone was healthy. point being that I think if we do get a vet it will be a left handed defensemen.
Grossman, Coburn, Phillips all come to mind. Girardi would be a great fit but he is a right handed shot.

This news is just so ****ing awful.
I know Tim Gleason has 2 more years after this one at $4,000,000 a year. I know he has a NTC/NMC and I know he would not be cheap but, he's left handed and the same type of player.
I don't know if he'd waive it, I don't know if Rutherford (who's an idiot) would deal him but, I'd look into it.

Any of the three would be good fits in Bruins system. I think Girardi would be best at filling the role of Seidenberg. Very good at shot blocking and also very physical.
It's this kind of attitude that aggrevates me. Yes, we lost a key player. But thankfully we have enough depth to make up for his loss. We all know that, come the trade deadline, if Chiarelli feels the need to make an appropriate trade he will. Honestly, I think Seidenberg not playing will make this team even hungrier for the Cup, cause they will want to win it for Seids; win it for him, and get it back for the city of Boston.
Seriously, all is not lost here folks.

Chara - Hamilton
Bartkowski - Boychuk
Krug - McQuaid
Bartkowski is not ready for that many minutes. We need to fill that hole.

Mentioned it earlier. He has a NTC/NMC, $4 million a year for two more years (after this one) and an idiot for a GM. Rutherford would probably ask for Spooner and a 1st rounder for him. It will get no where, I'd phone him though.

Dan Girardi?
He's UFA and although he is right handed it would be a great fit. Sather would bend us over the hamper (or attempt to) for him.

Rutherford has already tried to deal him when Gleason was injured. Were some reports that they were going to ask him to waive. Rumor is he didn't want to leave Carolina.
Well, eff, eff & eff. Eff!
I guess we'll see what young Trotman can bring to the table. Master Of the Obvious Dept.: This also makes a deal for legit, experienced D far more likely.
Eff.

Bartowski is definitely the weakest link if Hamilton come back in form.
If they can find an upgrade for him.. I can retain some hope.

pretty sure he needs to pass through waivers. if he does need to go through waivers I can't imagine him not getting claimed.
give Trotman, Bart, Morrow a shot (Miller too if we can get him up here). if none of those guys grab it I'm all for going after a vet. there's some good names being thrown around in here.

Chiarelli knows it, the issue is, the whole league knows it now. He's going to have to overpay. It's a tough call for Chiarelli.

They are in the "B" Pool. I was assuming he would go for the experience and to help them win the Pool.
we would have to keep miller up as he is already at 9 games.
we are are gonna need a top 4 d man if we.want to go more than 2 rounds.
we will prob have to overpay for someone
The salutary note is that PC has a bit of time to evaluate, especially with the Olympic break. All is not lost.
