<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Dude, take your bruins bias and get out of here. I’m a pens fan so idc about either teams. I’m a non bias perspective. Rask has had some incredible cold runs throughout his career. Many bruins fans wanted him traded multiple times. He’s incredibly inconsistent. And btw, TSN did a list of vezina favourites: Anderson was #1 at the midway point (obviously there’s a Toronto bias but rask was nowhere to be found). I’ll take Anderson over rask all day every day. Anderson also plays on a worse defensive team (especially the previous two seasons) where leafs let a ridiculous amount of shots allowed and Anderson was great. Get out of here.</div></div>

Nah, I won't. You're just mad that you're trash hockey knowledge has been called out. You being a fan of neither team doesn't help you at all. I know you're not watching either team enough to actually give a legit opinion on either. You're running to stats to give your opinion and its comical. Stick to the Penguins, dude. When did you become a fan; 2005? LOLOLOLOL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Because rask is the most inconsistent goalie in the whole league arguably. Earlier this year he was losing his job to Halak. Rask has gotten into many cold streaks throughout his career. I’ll take Anderson all day every day over rask</div></div>

Lol..... That's hilarious and shows your hockey knowledge is limited. Rask has been better the past 3 seasons, better career numbers and Andersen. Rask is a known slow starter. He wasn't going to lose his job to Halak. It's funny that before you said he, "is losing his job to Halak" and now you've backtracked to "was losing his job to Halak". The only people who thought Rask is/was losing his job to Halak is Haggerty (hack) and stupid Bruins fans (many of them).

What goalie doesn't have hot/cold streaks, by the way? Stupid point to make for an argument here.

Also, how the **** is "Freddy" a Vezina candidate this season with his numbers? Not seeing "Vezina" at all. Hell, Halak and Rask have similar/better numbers than him lmfao

Thread: Brekels pre-TDL plan 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>I think these deals massively hurt the Bruins. First off I think the team barely gets better. Grizz is a huge piece for them. Then it guts them in the future. I think the blues trade is awful value for the Bruins. No thanks to both. Can’t see those deals resulting in beating Tampa</div></div>

I don’t agree. Blues trade is not awful value. They give up grzelcyk but they already have defensive depth and plenty of LHD prospects, Urho being the cream of the crop and close to being ready. Heinen is replaced by Schenn basically and you give up a 2nd.

How does this gut them for the future when they still keep their top prospects and then some? Lol.... Also, you make moves to improve the team.

I’m going to ignore the Tampa Bay take. I think that’s a stupid way of thinking.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>I think Ferland would be a nice fit on Boston and that price is more than reasonable for a rental winger. The Schenn trade might be a fair offer based on the way he's playing but I hope that our GM keeps in mind that he doesn't have to trade him (contract not expiring) and he's playing some bad hockey right now so there's a good chance his value would be better if he waits it out. He's only got 9 goals and he's sporting a .965 PDO at 5v5. He and his linemates are in a serious funk but they look like they're starting to pick it up. I'd hate to see him traded for anything less than a promising prospect + or a 1st round pick +. When he finds his game, he's more valuable to us next year than Grz and Heinen IMO.</div></div>

Was trying to accommodate STL's needs with the deal, and its a package I've seen thrown out previously that seemed fair. I can see why you'd want that kind of return for him. With Jay-Bo, and Gunnarsson both UFA's, Grzelcyk would be an instant replacement if neither is returned. He's small, but he is no doubt a Top 4 quality option in the NHL. Heinen is having a crappy sophomore season, but has been picking it up lately, and has a 47 point season prior to this year. There's upside with the player, but he's no worse than a 3rd line winger able to play special teams if needed, and brings solid defense to a lineup.

Thread: Brekels pre-TDL plan 1
Carolina and Ferland have supposedly not talked contract in a month, and with him being a UFA, he could be a very good TDL acquisition. Justin Williams, UFA, also could substitute in for him, and that would alter the return. With Ferland, he would come and add a phsyical player who can score goals to the Top 6. He's has good size at 6'2'' and can get around the ice. Did have a concussion issue earlier this season that caused him to miss time, but he's still on pace to score 25 goals this year (42 points). In this trade, Carolina gets a good center prospect who can play a top 9 role with room to grow in JFK and a winger prospect with some upside in Cehlarik (who needs a chance in another organization).

Bruins then address their center need by acquiring Schenn from St. Louis with a fair offer. Blues get younger on defense and acquire a solid LHD with term. They also acquire a LW to replace Schenn with who plays defensively responsible and has potential to be a good middle 6 winger. Both deals add some nice physicality to the lineup on top of players who can contribute offensively, offer versatility and solidify the top 9.

Bruins could then go into next season with Schenn as a T6W or re-sign Ferland, depending on the contract.

EDIT:

Made a change to the CAR/BOS deal. Taking out JFK and upgrading pick to a 2nd.
