Thread: Shrug!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BreKel</b></div><div>To be fair, Seguin said that back in 2013. While Neely is still here, Chiarelli and Claude are both gone. Yes, the chances he returns are slim to none, but I can't go off something he said 5-6 years ago as a reason for it. Bruins may very well go after him if he does reach UFA. They did target Tavares. He is still friends with Marchand. Who knows at this point.

That said, this is going to be annoying because it's already starting now, and the season hasn't even started yet lol.... Seguin to Boston mocks are already overdone. haha</div></div>

I just don't see it. Two of the biggest critics of Seguin are still here in Neely and Bradley. I know Sweeney really liked Seguin, but it would take an over payment from Boston to get Seugin to come here. I also don't put much stock in the friends with Marchand stuff. They were friends, but its not like they are inseparable and spend every moment together.

Would I love to have Seguin back in Boston? 100%, so maybe my pessimistic attitude is just me trying not to get my hopes up.

Thread: Likely starting lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Bjork needs one more year in AHL before jumping in. And he would go below Pasta.
He plays top 4 over who?</div></div>

Here is a small snippet of an interview Cassidy did with the Boston Globe:

<em>"<strong>Bergy and Marsh [Brad Marchand], what if we moved Pasta [David Pastrnak] down and tried Bjork back up there?</strong> We did that last year...Krech [David Krejci] and DeBrusk have good chemistry, and I’d imagine Pasta would. It would be exciting for him. I have seen them play together, so that’s more about as the year goes on, what’s better suited for us to win hockey games against the more balanced teams. Is it those guys being together as a trio or is it better split up? I think we’ll do both throughout the year...<strong>Our intention last year was to split them up, give us better balance.</strong> The injuries kind of threw everything out of whack, and they just kind of slotted in as we went, we just left it alone."</em>

Won't be shocked if Krug ends up slotting in as the #3LD when all is said and done. Amazing offensive player, but doesn't have the defensively ability to match up against top 6 forwards. Krug also holds Carlo back from really playing a more two-way game and last year was proof. Carlo brought next to no offense to the team compared to his rookie year and saw his production drop by 62% while playing with Krug. Moving Krug to #3LD allows him to face lesser talented opponents on both ends of the ice and that should help him all around. Miller/McQuaid also are better suited playing that traditional stay at home defender, which is what Krug needs.

Lets be honest, when the game is winding down and the team is protecting a led, you're not calling Krug to go out there and shutdown the other team. Instead your calling Moore's number to do the job. On the flip side if you're down a goal in the winding minutes, you're probably calling on Krug to get the job done.

Thread: Oh Canada
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Username_Bot</b></div><div>Personally, I don't like to criticizes BUT there is a lot of holes here. David Krejci has a full NMC and would not waive especially go to a worse team. Btw, Habs would shut the phone the first second that Bergevin realize it is Sweeney . Second, Heinen is an amazing young top 6. He would emerge to be a top 6 or even a first liner. We can't lose him, especially not for a player who didn't even put up 30 points. We don't need another top 6 in RNH. We have Donato, Heinen, Krejci, Backes, Debrusk, Bjork (if he is good enough to play). We have 6 second line players, our first line shouldn't be touched. We need Krug and McQuaid, with Chara coming close to a retirement, we need other Dman. I am sorry but this is a 1 star. Also btw, we just took a 6M salary dump in RHN, would rather Backes over RHN every day of the week. More experienced, bouncing back, hard hitting. Yeah</div></div>
If you think RNH (not RHN btw) is a cap dump you probably shouldn’t be on this site.
