Confirmed with Link: Taylor Hall and Curtis Lazar to Bruins

[Sheppy]

I feel like the Bruins just absolutely bent over the Sabres in this trade, hahahaha

 

[Jdavidev]

Is he confirming by letting us know that is the final deal? Or is he in the process of confirming that this is the deal and will get back to us?

 

[13Hockey]

Absolute friggin steal

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Good price, hope it works. Really hope they don't put him with Krejci.

Uh... Isn't that exactly who they got him to play with?

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

I didn't want Hall but for this price this is a really good deal. I like it!

 

[CDJ]

I’ve been ripping Hall but to get him and Lazar for that is not bad

it is very very good

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This is a very good trade even if Hall does not work out. I've read he had a knee injury and has not been the same since?

Even if true, he is a top six winger the Bruins have needed for seven years.

If the cost is truly just Bjork and 2nd.

That's the final deal.

 

[finchster]

Congrats.

We'll see if he is the piece that can push us over.

If not, and Hall signs with the highest bidder this summer, then business as usual

I have no interest in the Bruins signing Hall long term, but this is a good move for now because he will want to di well and get paid this summer.

 

[Joey Moss]

Where does he play?

 

[PuckFather]

That's massive for you folks!! Given what you gave up for Hall, Dubas overpaid big time for Foligno!

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Let's talk in July, will be the real decider of if it was worth it.

Also, Hall, thanks Hall for turning us down so we have to trade for you. People say it's a steal, but if he wanted to be here in the first place...

Last summer I was beating the Taylor Hall drum bigtime.

The player is perfect for Krejci's wing when healthy and when motivated. But in choosing Buffalo for a one year deal he showed a lack of drive, and his compete level in-season with Buffalo has been a total embarrassment. The eye test shows a low-compete player and as much as I wanted him last summer, right now I've got trepidation.

But he's got the opportunity to turn it around. Maybe the leadership of 37/63/46 will pull something out of him where the black hole that is Buffalo couldn't. Maybe he's going to be motivated again. but maybe not. We know he's a big Bobby Orr guy, former client of Orr. There's been lots of mutual interest between him and Boston dating back to the 2010 draft. I'll give him every chance to get back in good graces. I just hope Don didn't give up anything more than a 2nd at most, hopefully a 3rd.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Why not try Hall with Bergeron and Smith and then:

Marchand--Krejci--Pastrnak

Let Bergeron get the new winger for once.

 

[River Meadow]

This is the most Sabres could get for Hall?

AND they give up Lazar too?

Holy crap.

 

[Fenway]

Buffalo media confirming it

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I have no interest in the Bruins signing Hall long term, but this is a good move for now because he will want to di well and get paid this summer.

I hate rentals overall, but it's part of the game. Just usually hasn't paid off for us, except for once.

Not a fan of Hall at this point, but I'll still root for the team.

 

[CDJ]

I’m shocked how well that trade went

when my sister texted me we got him I panicked thinking Donnie caved on the 1st

 

[DitClapper]

Guys I'm in tears of joy you know how much I wanted this. You all know.

Booked.

[13Hockey]

I’ll miss Bjork so much hahahahah

 

[McGarnagle]

Shit, Lazar might be a sneaky big throw-in to push the declining Wagner/Kuraly on the 4th line, or perhaps even skate with Coyle on the 3rd.

All that for a 2nd and Bjork, I'm very happy. Bjork and Buffalo are a match made in heaven, because both of them are remarkably bland and you wouldn't notice if they just dropped off the face of the earth. 2nd rounder for Hall and Lazar is a good haul.

Fen

Can you delete/merge my thread.

Thx

 

[sarge88]

I’d have traded Bjork and a 2nd for Lazar alone.

lol

(maybe not, but close)
