if you have 6 million to spend and can have only Palmieri or Coleman then it's such a no-brainer.
I hate how a handful of desperate GMs always end up breaking the market for bottom 6 guys by overpaying. Coleman belongs in the 3-4 million range at most but some dummy will give him a David Clarkson deal

Hopefully they can bring Coleman in at a more reasonable number. Maybe longer term but less dollars. 5 x $4 or 4 x $4.5? Something like that.

I mean, 2 separate sources are predicting $6M for Coleman. I don't like where this is heading.

Jesus - I don't want Clifton taking a regular spot.
I guess my main problem with him is that I don't like having both Gryz and Clifton in the lineup. If Boston deals Gryz then I'd be OK with Clifton playing regularly.

Guys this coleman thing is picking up steam I think. I wanted my el cheapo brassard 750 k deal. He can play center and wing and help put some points. 6 million is a crippling contract.
Agree. For upcoming season it does not have great effect, but all of our cheap contracts expire between 22 and 23. Pasta, McA and good 1st C will cost something like $28m, if they dont give max discounts. And also they need to resign Bergy and if Swayman stays hot and has decent stats then Sweeney is screwed with these contracts.
Bruins are in the situation where they should look more to the upcoming seasons instead of going maniac with stupid contracts for the next season.

It’s full speed ahead until Bergeron retires. Count on it.

If the rumored deal is truly what's being offered, let's just hope that another team outbids the Bruins.

there's no way they give Coleman 6M for 5 years. I don't think i'd want him on a 6 year deal anyway, he's got fall-off-a-cliff written all over him and he's already 29.
I reaaaaalllllyyy hope the front office has learned from Belesky and Backes

Friedman also noted that the Bs may be in on Forbort.
Coleman and Forbort…. Really underwhelming names for what was/is out there. And from what’s being rumored for Coleman. That’s a massive overpayment. Those numbers no longer fit in the “well the Bruins have the cap to overpay” category.
We’ll see what happens…

Them "Suter at 4 years is too much for his age and remaining talent."
Me "Yeah maybe you are right."
Them "we can sign Coleman and Forbert to 5 year deals instead!"
Me "uhhhh.. Can I change my first answer?"

Hopefully they just stay rumours. Long term contracts to a 3rd liner and bottom pairing defensemen will surely not end well.

Sweeney didn't just hammer out a 4 x 6 million deal with former MVP Taylor Hall just to turn around and offer freakin' Blake Coleman the same AAV but more term.
Will they have interest in Coleman? Sure, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
I just don't see them meeting his asking price if it's as what is rumored.

Beleskey was rumored to get 5-6 mil too, ended up under 4... guess we’ll just have to wait
Like I said to another poster, he could be used as part of a package for help on D or forward.

I don't buy it. But this would be a signature Sweeney move.

I hope Sweeney is smart enough not to get involved in a bidding war for Blake Coleman. Nice player, luxury player. But you it's been proven time and time again you don't give term to that level of player.
I thought the Avalanche made a big mistake last night. I would of let Landeskog walk before giving him anything beyond 4 years. They will regret that contract. That's not a prediction, that's a spoiler.
Term is the true enemy of the salary cap. Joe Sakic got hood-winked last night giving into Landeskog's demand for an 8th year.

Still evaluating..
What line does Coleman center at 6mil a season? Christ go get pius suter for less and more versatile 25 yr old. I like Coleman's game and grittiness on this team but not at a Taylor Hall #
