Anaheim trade is delusional.

Jenner gets a far better return than Hall and Forbort.

If Bertuzzi and Orlov were willing to sign for those lame offers, They'd still be in Detroit and Washington respectively.

Almost nothing here is realistic. Contracts are way low and trades poor value for other teams.

Okay the picks in the Ducks trade were mostly for fun!! I don't watch Ducks hockey, didn't realize McTavish was THAT good. My thinking was 'Hey, they stole 2 of our draft picks for Lindholm, let's just steal them back!" Trade still works with no picks. This is for fun, you guys know that, right? Its my first time using this website. was not expecting such passionate engagement

You went after a 3OA rookie and this years second overall pick, plus both Boston seconds back, for a negative value defenseman and a goalie who fell apart in the playoffs.......

Ullmark for McTavish alone is an insulting deal to Anaheim, let alone all of the other things that tipped the trade further from "fair".

We generally try not to rag on new guys, we get it, we were once new as well, but you made quite the entrance so to speak....

Welcome to the site, understand that rebuilding teams and teams on the rise don't part ways with good prospects/young players, and understand that because Boston is in cap hell, any trade you attempt to make here will be an uphill battle because we know that Boston has no leverage.

Well, welcome to CapFriendly. As you can see, some fans are passionate about their teams, and some are just irrational. We assumed that you were in the latter group.

Everything is forgiven. Don't be discouraged!

As to your trade, you should know that throughout this month several of your fellow Bruins enthusiasts have offered (in multiple ACGMs) Ullmark to Los Angeles for Sean Durzi and a second or Alex Turcotte and a second, so McTavish alone or Fantilli alone is utterly out of the question.

Pretty sure he is gone my friend. He called us incels and gatekeepers then nope-d on out.

Fairly certain he was disingenuous about "not knowing he was posting it publicly". Otherwise he wouldn't have filled out the description the way he did.

Welcome to the site, super hard sometimes to tell when people are new or not. For fun though, I see your point. Don’t let the comments get to ya.

I mean, he came in with attitude, made a **** post, then tried to backpedal and recant when he got dogpiled, and couldn't figure out the delete button. He SAID he didn't know it was a public post, but it's pretty clear he did......

Definitely the least graceful exit I've ever seen on here.
