Boston Bruins Your roster changes / proposals VII

[Troublesome 85]

Lets be realistic, Donny wont do shit except for some minor signing on D and hope the kids will be better this year. "We tried, the prices were more expensive then we wanted to give up. A full season of TH will make a big difference... bla, bla, bla". Things never change on Causeway st. and never will until we have new ownership / management.

and then Cassidy barely gives kids a chance

@GeeWally re Rask and waivers.

As you know, the last CBA has been extended and anything changed in it is covered by the Memorandum of Understanding.

Here's the only change to waivers:

CBA 13.23 amended such that it shall continue to apply to another Club’s RFA but it shall not apply to UFAs who play for a club outside North America after the start of the NHL Regular Season through and including December 15.

That changes what I said earlier in my response to you, that it only applies if he plays a game in Europe. That is this section of the CBA

13.23 In the event a professional or former professional Player plays in a league outside North America after the start of the NHL Regular Season, other than on Loan from his Club, he may thereafter play in the NHL during that Playing Season (including Playoffs) only if he has first either cleared or been obtained via Waivers.

So, to answer your question, I have no clue what KPD is talking about, who gave him that information, or if something else changed that I am oblivious to. (and you know me, I like to keep up on these things).

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks.
Sure was a head scratcher for me. Im going to assume its wrong until I read otherwise.

If you people are upset the Bruins didn’t beat out VAN on that albatross of a deal or send actual assets for Ristolainen…seek help. Schmidt, Martinez, Suter and many others still out there on D.

It would have been nice to pry Garland from ARI…but not at that cost. Benning has lost his marbles.

Donny will do something…probably at the draft table.

 

[RustyBruins72]

Stop giving me hope!

No kidding.

Now that @DominicT is here give us all who are fiending good news

About what? OEL?

To take on Garland, you had to take OEL. Yotes wanted Cap hits with less actual money. And they wanted a first round pick.

Eriksson - $ 6 million cap hit, $3 million real dollars
Rousell - $3 million cap hit, $1.9 million in real dollars
Beagle - $3 million cap hit, $1.2 million in real dollars

I would be surprised if they didn't buy out at least one of them and spread that cap hit over two seasons to reach the floor. They basically added the OEL and Garland cap hits at less then half the cost.

Bruins tried for Garland alone. Yotes would not bite. I don't blame Sweeney. Hard to build a roster with two $7 million+ d-men on the roster. (Next year with McAvoy/OEL)

any news we fiending I got these cheeseburgers for u

 

[CellyHard]

Remember kids physical means hitting and hitting only.

6-4 seems like a guy who can handle a forecheck, but that’s not important. Must hit

So you like Ekholm because he’s much more able to handle physicality then deliver it.

This is the issue. We need both.

Canadian media seems to think Braden Holtby could be headed to the Bruins

[Mainehockey33]

At this point in time I'd take Dvorak over Kessel 10 times out of 9 .

Dvorak just makes no sense to me unless he plays more wing than I realize. Kessel can still put up top 6 offense, Dvorak is another 3C.

 

[Montecristo]

All these trades..wake up donny! Its draft night wake up!

Exactly right, that OEL contract is something to stay far away from even with Garland attached.

My neighbor and I will re enact this deal next Thursday morning when he dumps his garbage in front of my place and I dump mine at his.

Holtby and Schmidt for DeBrusk and Moore ?

i know you’re real busy right now but what’s your take on the Dvorak stuff? Misinformation? Smokescreen or still an iron in the fire?

thanks on the Ekholm stuff earlier , too

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Holtby and Schmidt for DeBrusk and Moore ?

Pass.

 

[Alicat]

Holtby and Schmidt for DeBrusk and Moore ?

Fine by me.

Get a #1 goalie and unload a lazy excuse machine in DeBrusk.

 

[Son of Donegal]

Holtby and Schmidt for DeBrusk and Moore ?

Sure. Add a 3rd if needed.
Holtby’s numbers haven’t been great, but he usually finds a way to win. With a solid team in front of him, he could regain form. He take 10-15 games to find his form…but once he finds it, he can steal games like Jonathan Quick.

 

[Smitty93]

Fine by me.

Holtby's not a #1 goalie. Since the 2018 Cup Final, he's gone from mediocre to bad. Stay far, far away from him and his $4.3M contract.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Holtby is far from a #1

 

[Alicat]

Holtby is far from a #1

He is over Swayman

Swayman isn't a #1 either

 

[KrugAvoy]

Taylor Hall deal official now per Bruins facebook

 

[Alicat]

Everyone who cried about Sweeney bungling the Hall deal because it wasn't announced look so foolish right now.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

He is over Swayman

You have a better chance with Swayman as your #1 and winning than you do with Holtby. He’s cooked.

I got nothin.

I've always like Dvorak. When he was in London, a lot of people claimed he was a biproduct of Marner and Tkachuk. Not the case. Coming off a career year.

Do you think he's a number two center? If not and Krejci doesn't come back, then Coyle is your number 2 and Dvorak your number 3
