Thread: Boston Bruins signed Jaxon Nelson (1 Year / $950,000 AAV)

You are making a whole lot to do for a guy who was playing guys years younger than him.
I like NCAA hockey, I watch a lot of it. But you have to know how to judge the talent there and project it.
A normal hockey player is in the NHL by this age. Not looking to make the jump.
Fact it took him this long to make it isn't exactly a good sign. That's being generous.
All the best to him, but he has an uphill battle.
There are guys 4 years younger than him with more talent coming into the league. When push comes to shove it's hard to spend a lot of time developing a guy who will be 25 next year especially when you only get 3 years of control.
If he can't make the jump right away my guess is he won't make it.</div></div>

It's an uphill battle for many NHLer's. That doesn't mean he can't get there. Bobby McMann just made it at 27 and Justin Brazeau at 26. He has a hard road but it can be done.

Thread: PLD im hoping they think twice about it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Talent is undeniable - but the attitude, work ethic, and personality is another thing. Can they get him to buy in?

We can probably chalk up Columbus and WPG to the team/scenery.... he didn't want to be there. But his time in LA has been extremely underwhelming and validates a lot of the issues teams have had with him. My concern is that he would ruin the culture of the team - he reminds me of Dougie Hamilton but worse in the room.

I would prefer Lindholm at $7M AAV to Dubois.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Would you prefer Lindholm at 8.5M AAV for 7 years (the Scheifele contract) and whatever return you can get for Ullmark at the trade deadline?

That will likely be the trade off being considered here.</div></div>

Don't want Lindholm. Don't want Dubois. The cost for the benefit is just to high.

Let's see if we hit gold, silver or bronze with Poitras in the next few years and keep financial flexibility for the Bruins.
