Bidding war I’m hearing over John Moore only if he goes on LTIR

So if Boston puts him on LTIR, a team would give up something for him just to acquire his space? Or Boston would still have to pay a bit.

I guess Ritchie and Kase are top 6 wingers?

Yeah I’m seeing Ritchie but not following the logic on saying Kase is one of their top 6 wingers right now when even when he comes back I’m guessing the current 4(Marchand, Pasta, Smith, Ritchie) are there to stay.

 

[13Hockey]

Wait what am I missing here?

Ritchie is 2LW
Smith is 1RW

 

[Number8]

Bruins win 4 of 5 road games with bottom 6 and Providence D and goalies and 5 of first 12 posts want Sweeney fired

lol

Like I said, balance. He ain’t a 1/2 but he ain’t a 9/10, either. And no amount of smoke blown up my skirt changes that.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

So NHL. Network says Friday and Kyps Corner the Bruins are doing an amazing job hanging in there and winning ravaged on defense and goal but Sweeney Is on hot seat here, Twitter and Felger & Mazz

lol

a good coach and a good core can buy the GM a lot of rope

 

[member 96824]

Ritchie is 2LW
Smith is 1RW

Smith wasn’t a deadline acquisition. He was a FA signing in the offseason.

 

[MAINE-IAC]

Doing nothing is the worst they could do.
Either add or sell.

They need to rebuild the forward group at some point

I wouldn’t be apposed to selling. I just think that they’re a few players away and a bandaid isn’t going to amount to anything, and it will cost too much.
Maybe In years past when a home game meant a lot of revenue. Not sure if that’s the case now

 

[The don godfather]

No way hall will be sold for cheap. Savard got a 1st he ain't that special jeez.

Sounds like a good coach to get wins out of that rag tag group!

 

[DKH]

*Serious Update*
Stay off Twitter

Jimmy Murphy taken to the woodshed by Ian Mclaren

two Bruins writers doing there best Kong vs Godzella

reading the back and forth Mclaren definitely has a point if true

It’s a game not practice- can’t we get along and go overboard Monday If Sweeney can’t get atleast a second for Krejci

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Those dummy ex coaches and players were giving ‘Donny’ (not Don) Sweeney credit

idiots

every time Marchand or Bergeron score I think "good job Donny"

I think they take phone calls on nhl network you should straighten them dummies out

I’m bumming trade deadline falls on Masters weekend

I told my daughter not to interrupt me till Masters over unless Krejci traded

 

[Trizz617]

I thew him out there in one of the trade threads....got no responses so figured people weren't interested. I would love him to be the acquistiion

Blues are back in a playoff position. Really doubting they will part with Schwartz now. Stranger things have happened though.

 

[Mathews28]

Like I said, balance. He ain’t a 1/2 but he ain’t a 9/10, either. And no amount of smoke blown up my skirt changes that.

i equate a little bit to some folks assessment of Rask’s overall body of work.

Crucified by some for not winning a cup in 2 opportunities.

But has given the Bruins stellar goaltending for approx. a decade. Stellar.

So where does he lie? Somewhere in between I guess.

sweeney missed opportunities to but had big wins with some picks and the 2018 TD acquisitions were excellent.

He doesn’t suck but he’s not going to be Lou L in NHL folklore. We coulda done a lot worse.

With his “hot out of the gate, do nothing after and let things slip away” approach I’m guessing you’re a Justin Rose guy?

 

[EvilDead]

This kind of salary cap manipulation needs to be stopped. Tampa should not be allowed to get Savard, a top 4 for any other team in the league, for a quarter of his f***ing salary.

I had Rose, why do you ask

yup and Nashville has fallen back out, if Im Sweeney I knock on their door again and again for Ekholm

 

[Banded Peak]

I wonder though. Their GM hasn't been afraid to pull the trigger to replenish if he doesn't think they have it this year. They sold Stastny and Shattenkirk when they were still in the mix.

Schwartz would be about the only guy I'd trade the first for this year, not that I see it happening.

why not?

Doesn’t every team have the same opportunity to manipulate the cap?

 

[Greek_physique]

So based on Cap Friendly website, Boston can still bring in 4 players without having to trade 1 right?

Contracts: 46/50

That's how that works right?

It’s frustrating to see a team, specifically Tampa, get better AND get out of cap hell enough to get a pass. I agree

But every team has the ability to do this. They just don’t/haven’t
