Are you trying to win the Stanley Cup with this roster, or just kick rocks around? Zach Parise isn't an upgrade on anybody and you want to give up a 3rd and a 4th for him?!

Nothing more exciting than bringing in Bjugstad and Schenn to be scratches! Coyotes don't take that trade - Smith has zero value and a 3rd round pick isn't nearly enough to get them to take him. Mason Langenbrunner is essentially a healthy scratch at Harvard and a favor pick to the worst development coach in the league - Jamie Langenbrunner.

I actually like the Schenn trade and agree with you that he isn't good enough to crack the top 6.

But instead of these wildly underwhelming moves that don't impact anything, why not make the team better?


Did you read the description? It might be helpful. The whole point is depth. There’s nothing the bruins can bring in that reliably makes the team better, doesn’t risk disrupting the construction of the roster, and is feasible under the constraints of the cap. I’m not sure if I need to point you in the direction of the standings, but the bruins are kinda good. No need for an overhaul.

Also, while I don’t really care, you might want to check out the comments on that ACGM as well as the description. Judging by how upset you got when everyone pointed out this makes the team worse, pretty much everyone except for someone who really hates the islanders, and therefore parise was saying thats probably the kind of deadline the bruins should look at.

It just makes sense.

It's awesome how people that aren't from Boston think Grzelcyk is good


The only people in boston that have an issue with grzelcyk are the same ones that just regurgitated what talk radio guys like Felger said abotu Tuukka. Zero thoughts of their own.

You can just watch a game and be like, “oh, that guys really good.” If you’re too lazy for that you can just look at the numbers and says, “oh, since I don’t feel like watching, the numbers suggest that he’s really good.”

It’s funny how people who don’t watch hockey think Gavrikov is good.

This really is wild. Honestly it’s crazier than chariot.

This has been entertaining and a good read. Bruins are 40-8-5. No need to trade 2 valued players, their best prospect and a 2023 1st in a loaded draft for two players who don't make the team appreciably better or arguably even any better at all.

Some how you made the team worse. These trades are unnecessary.

Nosek is not their top PK forward. Bergeron, DeBrusk, Coyle all better. Nosek adds nothing to the lineup, he's slow and sluggish. They've been wanting Frederic in that 4C role for years and now it looks like he's going to be able to run with that role. Jack Roslovic is a great add to the top 9, Lysell is trash and isn't going to pan out, and Grzelcyk is not a guy you win in the playoffs with. His +/- last year in the playoffs was the 2nd worst in Bruins history, behind Don Sweeney. Gavrikov is big, bullish, and a stud. This trade rounds out the bruins in all facets.


Wow this is one of the worst takes I've seen on this website from a Bruins fan. Felger is that you?

And notice, he didn’t find the need to come up with anything to my response to this drivel. That was when he just flipped out and started making everything personal.

Nosek is definitely not as useful as most Bruins fans think, only good on draws and defensive situations/PK so shipping him out wouldnt hurt. Agree that Freddy should be 4C hes looked better there as of late

Roslovic would be a decent middle-6C in the future, but not for this playoff run

Lysell is not trash lol

Gavrikov would cost too much and although his bigger physical precense would be nice, it aint worth the small upgrade over gryz

Gryz has been a defensive liability in the playoffs in recent years due to his size and strength tho. Most importantly, hes worth WAY more than just a 2nd round pick

If we are trying to make a cup run in 37/46's final years, how the hell do Bjugstad, Schenn, and Parise help us seal the cup?

Let's just take 3 has-beens, and put bring in two as a healthy scratch and one that is no better than Greer. What a *****, soft trade dealing outline. Schenn cant crack the starting 6.


This guy @DefenseFirst clings to action 12 seconds after I post anything to chirp it & his suggested moves do ****ing nothing to upgrade the team.
3RW can be upgraded, bumping Frederic to 4C and deservedly knocking Nosek out of the lineup is the right move to make - making Nosek F13 if you can trade Smith and a 5th for a 7th. Nosek adds nothing. But by your measure, lets not add any pieces that can help, and we'll just grab our ankles, eh?

Defense and PK tends to matter, and losing effective defensive players definitely hurts. It’s what wins.

There we go trying to make it personal again for some odd reason. Btw, did you mean, “spring into action?”

Anyway, you must think Montgomery is really bad at his job given that he used Nosek more than any other forward in penalty kill situations. Should he be fired before the season is out? Also its one heck of a coincidence that the bruins had the best PK in the NHL when Nosek was in the lineup, and when he’s been out of the lineup, they rank 26th.

Regarding adding players that will be healthy scratches: maybe this is your first season watching, but sometimes in the national hockey league, players get injured. It’s good to have capable replacements in playoff runs. Historically good teams don’t need major surgery.

When everyone thinks you’re wrong, might be time to re-examine your position.

I’d recommend unfollowing jimmy murphy and joe haggerty on twitter, and stop listening to felger and mazz. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

Goodnight sport!

Devils probably wouldn’t be the spot for Grzelcyk. Maybe send to EDM? LAK?

I'm not sure how you can look at the Bruins current roster, see how they are playing, then come up with this acgm. But you did say Lysell was trash so I could see why someone with your hockey knowledge would do this.

Gavrikov for Gryz is not an upgrade, at best it's a lateral move, so you're not improving the team there. And I'm not taking that chance considering the chemistry Gryz has with McAvoy, and their metrics as a D pair is among the best in the league. The Roslovic add makes no sense cap and need wise.

The only area where Boston should be upgrading is their bottom 6 RW depth. They don't need to add anywhere else in the lineup. They're #2 for GF, #1 for GA, #1 for PK, etc. in the league. The current roster is proving they are a real contender, so adding depth pieces to compliment the roster would be the right play.

What gives you this opinion? Do you watch much? Or do you just listen to felger and mazz?
Do you remember 2019? It wasn’t that long ago.
Still waiting on whether or not you think Montgomery should be fired based on how he deploys Nosek. Surely you must.
