Thread: My thoughts during this game
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinsbeatz</b></div><div>At this point best case scenario is bruins slide for the rest of the season miss the playoffs and hopefully at least Sweeney is fired, if they were lucky Cassidy gone too. This team has no chance in the playoffs unless you sell every pick and prospect at the deadline and that’s because of bad drafting , bad trades and bad UFA signings which really shows in game like this, how Bergeron and Marchand literally carry this roster on their backs. If someone is gonna turn this team around it won’t be under the current management.</div></div>

I agree the adds we did in the off season are depth pieces, without that good #2 center and that good Lhd we don't compete enough. Bruins are good to sign our players, but UFA is always bad. Ullmark was a good UFA, forbot was needed but not at this money, haula, foligno, reilly are not that good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Getzlaf ain’t gonna leave Anaheim. He’s said it multiple times in the past.</div></div>

I wish we could go and get him but he won’t leave Anaheim especially that they are in a playoff spot now. If they go to playoffs you need a leader. Even is they won’t go far a round of playoff with a leader like getzlaf is really impactful. This would make the young guys like zebras, Terry, drysdale, l’infesterons, comtois and much more.

Anaheim wasn’t supposed to be that good, but their young players step up and they are built like a good team. They have depth, a good starting goalie, some young’s stars, some goons/grinders, good leaders with exp (Henrique, getzlaf, Shattenkirk)

Personally I really like the ducks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>not happening at most id maybe move lysell 1 for 1. Lysell has the potential to be a top 5 player from last years draft, he fell strictly due to supposed attitude problems which turned out to be nothing once the official report came out.

again Van moved 2+ years of 10 mill in cap dumps plus a 10OA pick for retained top 4 dman and garland that right there shows that obviously garland and OEL don't hold as much value as the canucks think they do

the only way bruins moved lysell + our 1st is if we are getting a u25 center that has proven he has either 1st line potential or already is playing like a 1C or top tier 2C
garland is a winger, winger's have lower value then C's and dmen</div></div>

Dekes, I love garland and spicy you have no idea. But garland can’t play center and that’s what we need I would personnalité love him.
Soucy is a good 5th dman, but he’s not good enough to face top players each night. He’s isn’t really agressive as clifton he’s a b version of Carlo big stay at home, but not that agressive.

In terms of value the seattle make sense, the Vancouver not too much, clifton is worth like a 4th, stud a 2nd so it would be like 1,2,3,4th wich is okay value wise but the Canucks don’t need those pieces they need a good rhd (Carlo). Nothing personnal but Canuck are not that good myers is not good enough, hughes is good offensively but other than that it’s mediocre, OEK is far from what he was, I’m happy that the bruins didn’t get him.

So it’s not really a problem of value more a problem of pieces. Keep posting like reading thoughts of other peoples

But I agree that rental are usually expensive, but I feel that hertl has the most powers. He’s a ufa and he openly said he want to play in a cup team, so that limits the teams and sharks don’t want to loose him for nothing, hall was high at the time. But I feel that hertl could get at best a late 1st, 3rd and a top6 or top4 prospect (studnicka isn’t a top6 more of a middle 6 now) so I guess the bruins would offer at best 2022 1st, 2023 3rd and studnicka, but they won’t do it if they are sure that hertl has an ext

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I have a hard time seeing Boston offer Debrusk a qualifying offer unless he goes on a run down the stretch. Best case, negotiate a deal before hand for something close to what he is making now. But it does limit his value in a deal like this because if other team says, "yeah, no thanks. If he is worth a 2nd, just give us the 2nd" then - no deal - or its more expensive to go find a 2nd.



Hall return
- Nick Merkley (who eventually turned into a depth d-man via trade with sharks)
- Kevin Bahl (who has middle-4 potential)
- Nate Schnarr (who is outscoring Studnicka in AHL this year)
- Dawson Mercer (via 1st pick)
- Jonas Siegenthaler (NHL leader in defensive WAR, via 3rd pick)

"Meh"</div></div>

Thread: Physical brand of hockey
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinsforlife</b></div><div>I break it down like that
No value = senyshyn
Jake Debrusk for Laughton = Debrusk trade for a first so Laughton for a 1st wich is a bit more than what’s he’s worth
Ristolainen with ret = Reilly, 1st (yess less value they they got him for but they got fleeced amd resto hasn’t played well

Konecny = studnicka, Moore (cap dump and cap hit purpose), 1st and a 3rd and the balance form Laughton trade

That make the phylly had 3 1st (2 in 2022 and 1 in 2023) a 3rd. A decent 17-18 minutes lhd (Reilly), Moore cap hit of 1.6m buried, studnicka a decent prospect who needs a chance, senyshyn who hold no value. They have plenty depth down the middle (Laughton), ristolainen is on the block and konecny doesn’t play well for 2 seasons</div></div>

It’s a crazy trade yess but make sense, maybe not because of the division, but there is a lot of players that need a change of scenery in this. Plus phylly can trade those picks to go and get a big player that they need

Thread: A look back at the off season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>I’ve got issues with almost everything he did.
Toying with us and telling everyone he was going to qualify ritchie. That scared me.
Haula and Nosek - they’re fine. Value is fine. But is that really what the bruins needed?
Foligno - too much. Obvious from day 1.
Ullmark - good goalie. But you had to give him four years? You had to give him a full NMC in the first two? Seriously? Ditch that NMC and i think this is fine. If Tuukka is okay they just move him in the off-season and it’s all good.
Reilly and Forbort: puke. Instant puke.

The two good ones, and it should come as no surprise because literally the only thing Don Sweeney is good at is negotiating with his own players:
McAvoy and Carlo deals are A+ (the rangers should be equally as happy about the McAvoy deal). If the bruins could demote Sweeney to president of current player negotiations that would be swell.</div></div>

Yeah ahaha sadly sweeney is really good at signing our players but in the ufa market he sucks, I agree that the NMC form ullmark suck but we needed to give him that so we can sign him I just couldn’t see the bruins with a bad goalie and swayman
