Hi LadyfanSo does he want to come to Boston ?...for how much $$$
Is he the only answer ?
at what cost ?He is the right answer
Of course he wants to come here
I wouldn’t touch him with his situation. Good question. Who else is out there. From afar, other GM’s seem to make things work with far less and seem to use the loopholes to there advantage. The way the cap is now they only have, what, 1.5 mil. Are buyouts coming? Has he had bites in DB?So does he want to come to Boston ?...for how much $$$

A Pasternak deal would be a draw almost. Then you have to replace him. Eichel, like most high end players that wants to be traded, usually go for prospects and picks, which we aren’t full of. Better suitors out there. He’s still in Buffalo. He’s damaged foods with a gigantic contract he never should’ve got.For anyone who wants to suggest a possible Eichel trade, before submitting your proposal please ask yourself, "Would I accept this for Pastrnak if Bergeron retired today*?" If the answer is not at least, "Maaaaybe," then it's a bad proposal.
*Buffalo and Boston are in very different places as organizations. If Bergeron retired today that would ruin the Bruins. So I put in the modifier to make the hypothetical a little bit more balanced.
This would give the team about 8 to 8.5 mil of cap space so where do we find the other 1.5. No room for any other transactions for sure. We have to give McAvoy a big raise next year so we are really toying with disaster.Jake Grizz 1st and 2nd for Jack
Not a bad deal…….hmmmmThis would give the team about 8 to 8.5 mil of cap space so where do we find the other 1.5. No room for any other transactions for sure. We have to give McAvoy a big raise next year so we are really toying with disaster.
We do need to move Jake and Gryz if we have any chance of obtaining an impact player. Draft picks may also have to be included which is not a good omen.
You know I love you Lonnie but I don't think blowing up the front office will happen.Highest priority should be to replace DK, but given how Sweeney went on a spending spree to replace the bottom of the roster, they have no flexibility. So what you see is what you get, sadly. Time to blow up the front office and replace those morons with people who are competent.
I think what would be a good deal is we we could go back before the rfa additions and let someone with a brain control the signings and use the money wisely. Oh well we cannot reverse the disaster that has occurred.Not a bad deal…….hmmmm
The moves aren't that bad. I just would've felt a lot better about them had we still had Krejci as our 2C going into next season.I think what would be a good deal is we we could go back before the rfa additions and let someone with a brain control the signings and use the money wisely.

I hope Sweeney and Neely get a lot of flak for these moves.
The moves are 3rd and 4th line additions which are okay but we have much more pressing issues like a 2C and a good LD. I do not believe they used the money wisely. When 2 of your targets got signed elsewhere (Coleman Martinez) hold onto the money so you have cap space to do something via a trade. Now it has to be dollar for dollar in any deal.The moves aren't that bad. I just would've felt a lot better about them had we still had Krejci as our 2C going into next season.
Realistically they got the best that they could given the players that were available in FA. Not exactly what happened with Reinhart but they really should've been on that. He can play wing/center and he's only 25. Who knows what happened behind the scenes but maybe they should've given a 1st, Vladar, and an extra sweetener to out bid Florida.The moves are 3rd and 4th line additions which are okay but we have much more pressing issues like a 2C and a good LD.

Were there many quality centers to be had ? I mean I wouldn't pay that position more than our top line.
I don't like everything that they did (management) but they did address the goalie situation nicely IMO.
They also fixed the 3d and 4th line issues pretty well (we will see once they start playing). Everyone bitched about those two lines (rightfully so) all of last season.
My biggest issue is on D.
I have some hope that a current player (or newly acquired) will be able to play second center . There are so many new players. I will be interested to see how the chemistry plays out.
You do not have to spend the money if you are not getting true value.Realistically they got the best that they could given the players that were available in FA.

He is signed until 25-26 so that isn't an issue.So does he want to come to Boston ?...for how much $$$
Is he the only answer ?
I wouldn't pay too much for a second line center . I have seen teams that over pay their players (Chicago for example) and it bites them down the road. Also doesn't Eichel have a questionable injury ?Why not the bolded. This logic has existed since the Bourque salary cap under Sinden. There wasn't anyone that made it to free agency that I would have paid more than those guys but if Nugent-Hopkins got to UFA status why not pay him more to make your team better? This nonsense of "you can't pay anyone more than BERGY" is just that, nonsense. Barkov or Trocheck makes it to UFA status next year, you starting that negotiation with "here's what Pasta makes, you can't make more" how do you think that will go?
