He was 1 short handed goal from you guys making the finals last year! Tell me what you don't like? I mean yeah everyone is defensively accountable, which will take out some of the creativity, but it does win playoff games. He may not be the best choice (not sure who that is right now, but he's not a bad choice that I can tell.

Zyyyp, I like the quick thinking on the Trotz news. What would he ask Fitz for on the D side, other than a Clifton move? If our '22 pick is lower than 5, yes, higher, no, figure out another way to get it done.

Despite the potential, would not add a second for Smith. Keep him or trade him somewhere else, Bruins have options for 3rd pair LD.

he kills young players, gives them no ice time. He destroys offense and prioritizes veterans. Advanced stats? never heard of them. your teams worst players will be getting leading TOI. Re-sign Subban? He plays all 82 games. Ty Smith? 25. jack Hughes becoming a superstar? SIKKKKKKKE back to a 55 point pace playing with washed veterans. He sucks. Have fun tho because i would love it

Saw this trade on another post that a Bruins fan agreed with. Smith can play either side fwiw.

Yeah, I actually think as a Bruins fan that I would make this trade. I think Forbort is solid enough defensively to support Smith and the B's could use more offensive engagement from the blue line, especially at an ELC price. Clifton is just a guy and I would expect a healthy Zboril to unseat him next year if the status quo remained. With that being said, without a first this year that second-rounder has more value for the Bs. Make it a 3rd or a 2024 second-rounder and I would accept it no question.
