EDIT: It is 1 for 1

Dont really like it. 3yrs at 2.75. Don’t see where he would fit in this team

Two guys whose skill set says they should be better than they actually are. Basically give a player a flyer.

Peeke is an interesting case because any time he's against semi decent comp or higher he absolutely sucks. Weird move by Boston to acquire him when that kind of player can be found anywhere with a lesser cap hit.

Maybe they really see something in him

And he stinks

Free at last free at last!!!!

Watch a lot of Jackets, maybe he'll be better if he's insulated.

Could be. He's sucked anywhere near a top 4 role. It's just weird because bottom pairing dmen that do what Peeke does can be found literally anywhere.

Like I said above they might see something in him? Dunno

Good if he's not playing 20 plus. 12-14 is plenty

I guess he’s their #3 RD next year

Kind of surprised that Forbort or Grz isn’t part of this deal

Going into the playoffs With

Zacha
Coyle
Geekie
Boqvist

At center? 45 minutes to address that. We could see a PLD / Ullmark trade per reports

OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING

Hell yes from Columbus. The short: even if Peeke becomes McAvoy 2.0, it's a small win for CBJ just to have that flexibility and clear a space for Jiricek. Best of luck to Andrew, may he block 100 shots in the playoffs and win you a Cup!

Weekes is saying Ullmark nixed a deal because of geography for whatever it’s worth

This is an amazing deal for a guy who was just going to be bought out.

Where are all the Leafs fans who smugly told us we’d have to attach a first or fully retain him to move him?

In their defense, it's a head scratcher. Peeke is bad

My assumption is Forbort is going to LTIR to rest until the playoffs

Ullmark used his NMC? Bullet dodged with that Dubois deal and his production/engagement

well, he's never going to be anywhere near a top four role with McAvoy and Carlo ahead of him. The Bruins front office has typically been really good at evaluating d men, particularly as to how they'll fit in the bruins system. that said, i find this to be a head scratcher as well. i don't even know how it works with the cap. are we sure there isn't retention?

a forbort-peeke pairing would never get the puck out of the dzone, that can't possibly be the plan

There is still 30 minutes. Agent could basically go your chances of a long term deal are greater in that geographical area. I do believe Ullmark prioritizes fanily and mental health over all, which I admire about the man.

My guess is Grz - Peeke or Forbort - Shattenkirk OR Wotherspoon with either of them

Ended up getting a third for him too lol
