Thread: Bruins Oilers Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Not sure moving up 4 spots is worth a top 6 forward that's solid both ways. The difference between 8 and 12 this year isn't that big. &amp; with taking Kassian's contract I think you're overpaying quite a bit.

&amp; I know for a fact you're highly overpaying for Carlo by retaining on Spurgeon AND taking Backes' contract. Carlo isn't that good. &amp; his ceiling doesn't project to be that high. He got beat over and over again by Toronto's speed going wide, on him. Think you're better off maximizing your asset in Spurgeon elsewhere</div></div>

Carlo's already passed what his initial ceiling was, his ceiling now is as an elite shutdown defenseman who can jump up in the rush because of his excellent skating. He didn't get beat very much at all against Toronto and was arguably the Bruins best defenseman like he's probably been all year. in fact he had to cover up for Krug on a lot of occasions so you clearly watched like 5 highlights and try to pass it off like you know what went on the entire series. Carlo was one of the bright spots for the Bruins.

Thread: GAME 4
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>you are clearly frustrated, you're name calling.
The goal was fine. Not that it even matters considering the refs gave you a free one when Marchand was clearly offsides. But whatever. Boston lost and they deserved to lose. Hell they were handed 3 penalties and came up empty handed.

Hell if it wasn't for Bergeron putting up incredible numbers in the circle this series wouldn't even be close. 21 and 8 for 72% last game. That's the only thing stopping Toronto from steam rolling Boston at this point.
If they were winning possession off the puck drop it wouldn't even be close.</div></div>

Well, it's official buddy: YOU WERE COMPLETELY WRONG LMAO. No gooning after game 2 and the Bruins still won. That's what happens when you make foolish predictions using your heart instead of your brain lmao. The Bruins were the favorite and the team that should have won. Better coaching, better defense, better goaltending equal forwards in everything but 1 on 1s which rarely ever happens. Hopefully you learn not to be so foolish, but your a leafs fan so this is likely to happen again for you lmao.

Thread: Two trades to do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChytilMania</b></div><div>I didn’t know much about Kevan Miller’s game. I personally still wouldn’t want Kevan Miller but I bet Gorton would</div></div>

It depends. If he wants to "rent" a defenseman for zero cost it's a solid option. He traded a 4th, conditional 7th and Steven Kampfer for McQuaid. Then turned around and traded McQuaid for a 4th, 7th and Julius Bergman who has higher upside than Kampfer who's like a 9th defenseman. If it's a trade like that then it makes sense to do to stay competitive adding a gritty dman who can play 18-19 minutes a night and then recouping the picks you traded for him at the deadline because he's a pending ufa just like McQuaid was. I thought what they did with McQuaid was smart, so I'd think the same thing if they did it with Miller who's, by most peoples accounts, better than McQuaid.
