Sauve! Aww..

I think he's a goon

that's all they seem to know about him

 

[norwoodmustang]

To replace McDermid I suppose...

 

[Mantis]

Plan the parade! Jk but someone was gonna post it so I had to.

 

[TP]

It's a block bustah

 

[BoyntBergie]

Not a huge deal but can't say I'm a fan. If Sauve can ever stay healthy (I know), he could definitely contribute at the NHL level. Flick sounds like a watered down version of MacDermid.

 

[trenton1]

He might take over for Campbell in a couple years?

 

[Shaun]

LOL he started a bench clearing brawl by fighting a goalie

Looks like we picked up someone who is closer to being NHL ready for 4th line duties for a prospect who wasn't quite hitting his 2nd/3rd line potential and probably wasn't 4th line material.

Browsing dropyourgloves.com, looks like a middleweight punching bag.

Rob Flick was the best player in the city my age growing up. I knew him a little bit through lacrosse. Tough kid who can play a bit. MacDermid replacement sounds right.

minor deal obviously, but a good/necessary one. Sauve has had his chances and isn't really realizing his potential. We're getting a player that knows what he is and is doing what he supposed to do. With MacD gone, he's the fall back tough guy.

Talent Analysis of Rob Flick- C status for success

Flick brings size at 6’2 and good checking ability. Though he does not project as much of a scorer, he possesses a decent set of hands and a high hockey IQ.


Future

Flick earned an NHL contract from Chicago after splitting time as a rookie in ECHL Toledo and the AHL with Rockford. He is penciled into a bottom six center spot in Rockford to begin the 2012-13 season but

No. Flick is right where PC wants him.

Center: check.
Size: check.
Hockey IQ: check.
Bruin: check.

This seems like a summer deal not a deadline deal.

 

[patty59]

Looks like Chiarelli is really going all out this year.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

You will excuse me if I don't do back flips over this.

 

[patty59]

This is what they call a pure hockey trade
