The Bruins retained close to half of Lucic's cap hit/salary in order to make trade work with the cap-strung Kings


LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Ok well that makes a little more sense on LA's part. Still a bad trade though. Lucic is a shell of his former self. Not worth a 1st in a deep draft.

 

[IcedCapp]

I, for one, am surprised Shanahan didn't say, "yeah, ready to accept the first offer for Phil we get. Really desperate to move him. Any deal. Im open like ___________"

 

[AR5]

Shanny: Not going to say which players are going out, but unfortunately in the CAP ERA, you need a dance partner.

AHAA!!! Putting pressure on GMJR on the radio now?

Please. Let's get Marchand ASAP. If we only had our ****ing 1st round pick, we could've gotten Marchand and the Bruins could have the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th pick in the draft.

I was just about to say, you know getting rid of that $6M bum kind of pulls Boston a bit more towards coming out even all in all... And then that.

 

[AR5]

I would think that means Frolik.

Click link. I put parentheses to save that click for you. Mackie said it was Ward, per source.

 

[Cherpak]

Nah you won't, cuz you survived Despres trade. We can take anything right now . Just bring the news JR we are ready for u!

Awe you just had to bring that up. It took me months of therapy to get through that.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Don't worry, GMJR will show Shanny. He'll trade double what Shanny wanted for Kessel to Chicago for Sharp just to prove a point.

 

[AR5]

Do you have a TYPE of player you're going for?

Shanny: Mike is attracted to players who play with a LOT of effort (not kessel?!?!). Commitment to back pressure. (SOUNDS LIKE SUTTER boys)

 

[Cherpak]

Jesus thats an insane take for what they would have given up.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

(it's ward)

does this mean, tor is going south? So ward backup plan?

no thanks

 

[IcedCapp]

Right now is when y'all should be most-pissed about the Despres trade. If he was still on her roster, the Pens would have made a move by now. (It may have included him, but still)

Responding to a fan asking: Do the Pens make a trade today?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I'm betting Rask is going to get traded next.

 

[pensfan71]

**** Shanny...we all know you want Kessel gone by 10pm today

 

[Greeneye]

I have a lot more trepidation that JR will sign Ward as opposed to over paying for Kessel. At least with Kessel you are getting a top 3 RW. I just don't want to see Maatta going the other way.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I might die someday, maybe today, tomorrow or at the end of my life.

its boiling up inside every time someone says we need a top 4 d-man or that we can't afford to move one of the kids on D.

Marc Bergevin and Stan Bowman just had a friendly chat...


YES...BYE SHARP. PLEASE

Yes, he is a "Plan C" sadly...

After the Despres trade, with JR still in charge, I really don't even give a **** anymore. I'd expect him to trade Crosby for Lovejoy at this point.

He really broke me giving two ****s emotionally about trades so I don't get crushed again.

Wtf...the vagueness...

it feels truly awful to have a loose cannon / senile GM at the controls. say what you will about Shero, there was at least the feeling he could pull off a heist. there's zippy chance GMJR makes a good bargain for whatever deal gets made.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I doubt Ward's even on JR's mind right now. That comes July.1st.
They had good talks. Back up plan possibly. Thats probably the extent of it.
