The Bruins won't likely take Connolly back as he was mostly underwhelming in his time in Boston. He pretty much sucked imo and the team gave up on him because of it even after spending 2x 2nd round picks on him (Chiarelli, who else would have done that lmao).

He was awesome. The current general manager just stinks. He’s a rock solid gritty player that can play anywhere in the lineup. Oh, and chiarelli built a Stanley cup winning team from scratch in Boston. Edmonton fans should be able to give it to him, but bruins fans doing it makes said bruins fans look really, really, really dumb.


As for the post, find some room for Studnicka, and Chara

Lmao Chiarelli was brutal.

Look at his drafting between 2007 to 2013 It's pretty much all garbage because the only good players were Seguin and Hamilton who had to be traded because of Character concerns lmao. He was frivolous with his picks trading the pick that became TJ Brodie for Andrew Ference and the pick that became Jamie Benn for Adam McQuaid. Litterally the more he F'd up the luckier he got; trading Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart for Rich Peverley And Boris Valabik. Then he traded Joe Colborne (his 2008 1st round pick) + The Pick that became Rickard Rakell + a Conditional 2nd That I believe ended up being Chris Tierney For The Corpse of Tomas Kaberle who was complete garbage, that guy sucked so hard and was carried to a Stanley Cup, but the Bruins won despite how effing terrible he was. The Bruins won despite Chiarelli making crappy deals. He litterally lost more trades than he won as a Bruins GM and the entire reason he had success was inheriting Bergeron and Krejci and signing Chara.

The biggest takeaway was that Chiarelli didn't learn anything from any of these failings. Instead he figured that he was smart and knew the recipe for success, so he did all the same things in EDM that he did in Boston, but this time he didn't have dumb luck on his side. And if you're going to give him credit for building the team, you have to give him credit for destroying it as well when he traded Seguin and Boychuk for mediocre returns. And then missing the playoffs 2 consecutive years with pretty much the same core he won with and the core they have now (Bergeron, Krejci, Marchand and Chara).

lmao the jamie benn **** is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. He was a 5th round pick that 30 other teams passed up at least four times in the draft. (same thing with bringing up Brodie) If you're trying to make a relevant point, using stupid evidence doesnt help your case. Ference was great for us and was a big part of the cup run. Pevs was also great for us, obviously it hurts to see what Wheeler is doing now but we got a cup out of it, at the end of the day thats all that matters.

Yikes. Lots to tackle here. First, I think you’re a little bit too liberal with your use of the acronym, “Lmao,” either that or you have a really low standard for humor. Second, you’re misspelling literally. One t. Now, onto the content. Get this idea that it matters who a team winds up picking with a traded pick out of your head. The bruins didn’t trade Jamie Benn for Adam McQuaid. They traded a 5th rounder for McQuaid...that’s a great trade! Seems like you’re a bruins fan, so let’s say at the deadline the bruins traded a 4th rounder for panarin..and that 4th rounder turned into the next Crosby....that’s still an awesome trade for the bruins.

So, drafting: in his first draft chiarelli got Lucic, Kessel, and Marchand...not bad eh? On top of that through the draft he added: Colborne, Hutchinson, spooner, seguin, trotman, ogara. Hamilton, benning, Grzelcyk, Subban, cehlarik, Pastrnak, donato, heinen, and Bjork....that’s petty darn good considering the team was a contender trading away picks and drafting at the end of rounds.

So from the current team, chiarelli either drafted, acquired, or extending the following players: Marchand, Bergeron, Pastrnak, Krejci, Krug (they’re five leading scorers), heinen, grizz, Chara, cehlarik, Miller, and Rask....kind of important guys, wouldn’t you say?

From the cup team, chiarelli either drafted, acquired, or extended the following players: Lucic, Krejci, Bergeron, Horton, recchi, Chara, Marchand, Ryder, Seidenberg, Campbell, seguin, Thornton, boychuk, McQuaid, ference, pails, Savard, Kaberle, peverley, Kelly, hnidy, Tuukka, and Thomas....in other words, every player on the team. Every trade he made worked perfectly, every guy he brought in in ufa produced....his time in Edmonton was crap, but he was the best gm the bruins ever had.

Lol, Don Sweeney is already a better GM than Chiarelli. Gotta say your standards are incredibly low if you give a GM credit for extending a guy who by all means wants to return, even for less lmao. That doesn't take talent and in most situations he overpaid them which was one of the reasons the team fell apart.

Also what was notable was his refusal to fire Claude even after he lead the team to choking 2 years in a row. Just seeing Claude once behind the bench down the stretch was enough to know that guy didn't have it anymore in Boston, but seeing it night after night and then watching his press conferences where he's like "We don't have the answers" and he admittedly doesn't know how to fix the situation yet sticking with him when he doesn't have a clue anymore is grounds for a firing.

The bottom line is if Peter Chiarelli didn't do his worst work at the 2011 deadline the team might not have won. He got lucky and that luck ran out in Edmonton. He did all the same things with the same strategies and principles and look what happened. He didn't do anything at a high level, didn't improve the team and didn't make good trades. This is the real Peter Chiarelli. Anyone who gives him a ton of credit for what happened in Boston isn't analyzing what actually happened properly and the amount of dumb luck that happened even when he made the wrong move it somehow worked. Even when the player plays like crap like Kaberle it somehow works. That's not skill that is called dumb luck and if he gets another job as a GM you'll see what happened in Edmonton again because that's who he really is and what he actually does lmao. How is that not funny that you actually think he's good? I find it absolutely hilarious.

Lmao you like trading Wheeler for Peverley and a 1st , 2nd and Colborne for Kaberle? Thank God your involvement with the NHL is limited to this website lmao... And btw, it is prudent to list the player who the pick was taken to select because you have every chance at getting him if your scouting is as good as that team. It doesn't mean they traded that player for him, but if that players still available and your scouting department is good then don't you have a chance to land him? Oh, so there is no possible way that the player drafted at that spot by another team can be drafted by your team lmao..... I get it now sarcasm

Okay first off, if it was so obvious Claude had to go, why did it take Sweeney so long to fire him?

Chiarellis 2011 deadline was pure brilliance. He addressed every need his team had, and every addition contributed as expected.

Now, tell me what Sweeney has done that’s so good. All I can see is exactly what you belittle, extending his own players (for the record, only three players on the cup winning team weren’t actually acquired by chiarelli). Sweeney came in, made a great trade with Lucic, a brutal trade value wise with Dougie, and accumulated a whole bunch of picks, the majority of which he foolishly squandered on off the board selections. His drafting has been hideous. Carlo, Studnicka, and Mcavoy are basically his only two good picks. Aside from that, he signed Beleskey, traded smith for Hayes, then extended Hayes, then bought out Hayes. He signed backes, butchered that Nash trade, and gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and a prospect for John Michael liles and Lee Stempniak. Yuck. He’s been kind of hideous

Um. Those moves won them a cup. Trading a first for Antoine Vermette was a pretty brutal value trade but hey...it won them a cup, so who cares

If we dont trade for Peverly and Kaberle, we dont have the cup. I dont care what we gave up, how many cups do Wheeler and Rakell have? Your logic is idiotic when it comes to the draft picks as well. If other teams "scouting was as good as that team" Jamie Benn would've been a top 5 pick. Theres a reason that no analysts ever rag on a team for giving up a late draft pick that leads to a steal of a player
