Boston Bruins XIV-Rumors, Trade Proposals, Speculation, etc.. (rumors must have recognized source/link)

[Number8]

They are both wearing knock off Ray-bans they bought at corner of Hollywood & Vine

New players gently sobbing in the backseat thinking they’ll not live to see another day.

I have very little hope for a post-Bergeron and Krejci world. I should try to have more faith in the future. None of our prospects seem like top-line players.

But then, neither did Bergeron or Marchand. And many thought Krejci was below Karsums and Kalus.

Agreed, Hall is a giant risk, But I will be sad if Monday comes and the Bruins don't make an impact. I swear if we trade Moore for a 4th and Bjork for Foligno I'll be annoyed.

Foligno for Bjork? I'd be JUMPING!!!! lol

Bjork wouldn't last 2 games under Tort..

 

[Gordoff]

Latest buzz around our scout being in LA is probably centred around Iafollo. I’m thinking DS ( which are also the initials for Nintendo hand held game ) is probably trying to acquire him for Bjork plus something else and secondary to that trying to acquire Kempe for DeBrusk who are both former first round picks. I don’t see DS overpaying for Connor Garland. Personally if it’s LA I hope it’s Kempe and not Iafollo who maybe has tweaked Don’s intrigue with the name Iafollo sounding like Toffoli?

LOL

Is Iafollo in Donnie's back pocket?

 

[Gordoff]

Hawks are taking on salary so we could make a cap dump on them and open up more money. Panthers did it and are now in talks with Columbus. We will see them next year, they are a good team and are loading up. Wish our GM would join in and do something.

Nobody but nobody "evaluates" like Donnie!

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

They need to sell.

 

[Greek_physique]

I think we can definitely say Columbus is sellers...they just lost another dman
Zach Werenski won't play again this season because of an inguinal/sports hernia.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Iafollo is worse than Bjork.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Yikes. That sucks

 

[TD Charlie]

TD Charlie you are 100% correct. The adult in me knows that it’s not good business to leak info, particularly as these are people’s lives and families being moved around like chess pieces.

The child in me wants leaks though. And a box of Whoppers. A big box too, not one of those big looking boxes you could get at the movies. Which I kind of remember. Along with live concerts and live hockey games those things are getting a little foggy. I seem to recall they were fun.

I read "box of Whoppers" as in Burger King Whopper...and now I'm starving.

I'm all for players requesting trades. I just don't like when it becomes public knowledge. On the contrary, I don't like when it becomes public knowledge that a team is looking to trade a guy either

 

[Gordoff]

I swear to god if Lou adds a whole-ass 2nd line while Sweeney can't even land one 2nd line player I'm gonna f***ing revolt

I'll bring the tar, you bring the feathers?!?

 

[TD Charlie]

lol there will never be a better depiction of those old crap bumper jacks than THIS

 

[chizzler]

I find it funny that one of the rumors is that Halls camp is willing to do a trade and possible sign. Lmao! Of course he will. That boat has sailed. Such garbage by his agent. They both f***ed up ladt off season. They could have made out better. This year screwed him.

 

[Gordoff]

You're correct, as is @Mr. Make-Believe, who pointed it out before you. I've admitted my gaffe in a follow-up post and publicly chastised myself for prematurely opening my virtual yap.

Mom wants to make sure you never, ever do that again! No supper for you!

 

[Gordoff]

Not saying Hall has made the best judgement in his NHL career... But he has an NMC and can pick which team he wants to go to.

Think the Iginla situation.

Isle's getting stacked. Hall picks where he goes.

Does Hall look at the Bruins and say, Wow, do wanna play with David Krejci and Craig Smith? If Lou can make the money work, I see him making that deal happen... because he can.

We already saw Hall make the decision to pick Eichel and the Sabres over us, wouldn't be surprised to see him pick an easy way out and go with the Isles.

I still don't want Hall, but I am re-signed to the fact that our incompetent GM isn't good at fixing this team... so a bandaid likely is what is gonna happen.

It could also backfire on the Isles and mess with their locker room. As they say..."one bad apple......"

Poor Zach, I had the same injury, he will be out for 6-8 weeks after the OP.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Foligno for Bjork? I'd be JUMPING!!!! lol

Bjork wouldn't last 2 games under Tort..

Foligno was just my example of a guy who averages like 10 goals per year. But I hear ya!

Agreed. Completely.

Except the Whopper bit. If you want a BK Whopper over a big box of chocolate Whoppers, well you and I just can’t be friends. Sorry about that, but I am a man of principles.

 

[Gordoff]

I'd like to see a 2011 redux.

Two forwards. One defenceman.

And the Cup comes back to where it belongs.

"GET THE DUCK BOATS READY!!"

 

[KrejciWinger]

Crazy that there is 2021 Hall with 2 goals, meanwhile there is also 2018 Hall when he had 41 more points than the next guy on the roster...

I say buy low on this guy, assuming extension. It's a good gamble, unlike the Kase and Ritchie types where you're just hoping they have something in them... Hall has proven he has it.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

They need to sell.

No they don’t. And they won’t.

They need to add to try for a 4th SCF and 2nd Cup in 11y.

Team to beat in the division.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Yep as long as it’s for a asset we can use to acquire some scoring help.

I would move Halak for a third round pick at the minimum.

 

[Gordoff]

Agreed. Completely.

Except the Whopper bit. If you want a BK Whopper over a big box of chocolate Whoppers, well you and I just can’t be friends. Sorry about that, but I am a man of principles.

Why can't we have both?!?

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

No they don’t. And they won’t.

I agree that, of course, they wont... but, they absolutely should.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I agree that, of course, they wont... but, they absolutely should.

No. They absolutely shouldn’t.

The best team in a division never sells.

 

[TCB]

Swayman is ready. Don't need another goalie. The kids solid. Rask should be good to go hopefully.

Go with the Kids, save money and spend it elsewhere.
