No.
It just means the Bruins are good. Just like they were last year
with Tyler Seguin.
Whereas, last year,
with Loui Erikson, the Stars were bad.
See how that works?
Ya boy may have actually scored a legitimate goal tonight.
Let's see how it goes, but he still looks invisible to me. I know you guys want to believe everything the Bruins do is right, but we traded two of the best scorers in the game and ended up with this guy on the second line?
If you want to go that route, the Bruins didn't trade Seguin and Kessel for Eriksson. The original trade was:
Kessel for
- First-round draft pick (Seguin)
- Second-round draft pick (Knight)
- First-round draft pick (Hamilton)
(plus cap space)
Then,
Seguin (and Peverley, and Button) for
- Eriksson
- Smith
- Morrow
- Fraser
(plus cap space)
The first trade gave Toronto a very good goal scorer, and helped the Bruins win a Stanley Cup. Good for both teams, though I'd give an advantage to Boston for the hardware. I like Dougie too, and I think I'll like him even more in a few years.
The second trade is way, WAY too early to judge, though it could certainly work out to be another win/win. Dallas gets a good goal-scorer, Boston gets depth, an all-star wing (yes, I know, he hasn't LIT IT UP yet in Boston), and, important but often overlooked, room to re-sign guys such as Rask and Bergeron.
