You won't like Barrie at $6M. Maybe he does a better job there then he did in Toronto, I don't know.

Well thankfully you are not.

Signing 2 defensemen that can’t play D. One of them RD when the top 4 are set.

Nichuskin? And 4th line?

Cehlarik signed in Sweden For 2 years

Like, if you want Barrie at 6, why not resign Krug at 7? You know exactly what you're getting from him and he already fits on the roster. Barrie would be a huge unknown and you're asking him to play his offside, which he may do very well. If you plan on playing him top pair minutes, you're going to be unhappy

if im sweeney i dont sign an offensive dman in ufa.

Thing is in Toronto he was playing with offensive defenseman next to mcavoy or carlo so I think he would flourish in boston.

This doesn't make them any better.

Krug is better than Barrie.
Dinosaur Chara is better than Gustafsson
I am not sure the upgrade of Nichuskckin over Lindholm or Nordstrom moves the needle.

ide rather grabner than nichushkin

me too, but Nichuskhin has more upside. Put Grabner on PK and take that pressure/hard ice time off Marchand.

Well said. Hoping one day soon AGMs will understand Cehlárik, Gaunce and Fitzgerald are not coming back.
