Dang, hmmmm

I would probs say Nurse because of the 250k extra cap space and his deal I think is easier to move when he starts to fall off

Plus he adds some toughness which is a bonus

While Jones is a RD, yeah that contract aint appetizing. While Nurse's isnt either its still cheaper

They're both terrible, but Nurse's is less worse

I'm late to this party but like, Dubois is going to Boston at this rate, yeah? I'm pretty sure the only hangup at this point is whether the Bruins would rather send Lohrei or Lysell as the A-prospect along with DeBrusk, Reilly, and the '23 first.

There isn't a goddamn can of raid on this planet that can kill any of the New England franchises. Unbelievable. Absolute cockroaches. I could buy the hype around 2nd overall plus Holtz for Pastrnak but if the center you were in such desperate need of is right there, why bother retooling at all? Just have Chuckles, Grzelcyk, and Marchy get healthy and pull a Tampa in the playoffs. With Lindholm signed until forever the BRuins effectively have every major piece to the core they'd need if they can pick up PLD.

I think he's going home tbh. He keeps making himself unattractive on the market whether it's by expressing his dislike of Tortorella or by saying he's 100% testing the UFA market in two years. He also stated many times he wants to play in a big market. I just don't see it worthwile for a team to acquire Dubois knowing they'll have to compete with 31 other teams to keep him when he enters his prime.

That would make complete sense if Montreal had any abject need for his calibre of center in two years. Right now it's a toss-up: Wright should project to be around the PLD-tier and Montreal may or may not be in the runnings for one of next year's dynamo centermen. I really think PLD's comments are more in step with some of the other verbiage we've seen come from Winnipeg this season: unless they start seriously winning, I can't see him wanting to stick around long-term a la Scheifele.

If it really is the desire for a large market and/or a winning club and/or being closer to home, Boston's still a damn fine fit. Short flight or an afternoon's drive. If he can check enough boxes and be offered enough money (an $8Mx8y deal fits him perfectly imo) I don't see why he doesn't sign for term.

I thought the same of PLD a few days ago but now im not so sure as with Bergeron returning I got a feeling Boston just gonna run it back but Debrusk and Reilly will be traded

2C is still pretty vacant and if you're going to fork out Kadri cash to plug that hole anyways, might as well do so on a younger player that you could ink for 8 years.

Nurse, totally not bias

just a reminder to not read to much into his not very good play in the playoff run because he was dealing with a severe injury

He’d be a great fit there. Gotta think the Sens could be in on him too

Ya tell me about it, it’s the same guy. “An anonymous source from Dallas”, if it ain’t Mike Heika, Matthew DeFranks or Saad Yousef reporting it, it’s 🧢.
