Better then this year

My goodness. Let’s hear you try to defend that Boston trade. Yikes.

I don't have anything to defend aha

Okay, explain it. Justify it.

In one corner you have a contender that’s retaining salary (right there you’re cut off), and then trading a valuable young part of their team off a down year that just happened to be in a pandemic shortened season that didn’t have a pre season, or a full off season. Ya, something tells me they aren’t going to give him away for free.

In return, the bruins get, for a retained Jake debrusk: Cooper Marody, a guy who I don’t think you knew about before today. Former 6th round pick, 24 year old AHL nobody. So, nothing. Then you got this 25 year old d man who would probably be 7th on the bruins LD depth charts, so, also nothing. And a 3rd.

Debrusk, 50% retained, for a 3rd. Thats one of the most lopsided trades anyone has ever made on this site. The cost of the retention alone is more than a 3rd.

You're an angry little elf. Boston's not winning the cup anytime soon so you can throw that little idea out of your head. Marody is better then half the Bruins roster he pushes for a top 6 spot now. Same with Laggeson. Bruins get instantly better while also getting a 3rdhanded to then for hardly retaining anything for a couple years. Debrusk is playing on the 4th line. The Bruins have failed him. Let him play for a team he'll actually get minutes on and enjoy playing on, seeing that he's from Edmonton.

Marody is an AHL player. Laggeson is an AHL player. This deal is horrid.
