Thread: Worst general manager in the league
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>You’re all over the place on rask. The only thing that we do, flat out factually know is that he is not intending on retiring.

Ullman hasn’t done anything consistently. He hasn’t played consistently enough to have any sort of reputation like that.

Do you think 900 is good? That’s garbage man. Nothing to write home about. He might wind up being awesome, but calling him a proven number one is what a loser franchise would say. If you’re philly and trying to claw back to the playoffs, and are used to horrific goaltending…sure. Proven number one. Whatever. Not in boston.</div></div>

Do you know that for a fact tho? Like are you speaking with rask on the daily seeing if he's retiring or not? I'm not trying to argue you here. All i'm saying is that you don't know for sure how he's feeling, I don't know how he's feeling, the only ppl who know what he's doing is rask &amp; management is all im trying to point out, which may have influenced the ullmark signing.

Just watch how he does this season and don't say i didn't tell you so

At least 900 for several years on BUFFALO is EXTREMELY good yes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>If rask was planning on just playing another season, and was going to miss the majority of it, don’t you think he would just hang them up now? He’s also said he would like to play three more years.

And proven number one? He’s played 35+ games once in his career. Coincidentally, his worst season with a .905 and a 3.11. He’s played precisely zero playoff games. Realistically, he hasn’t played in an important NHL game in his entire career.

Proven number one? Get real.</div></div>

Things change quick, just bc he says he wants to play 3 more seasons after getting eliminated doesn't mean he's thinking that now. Maybe you're right, maybe he has decided to hang em up. There's a reason for these signings, management prob knows something we don't.

He is a proven #1, guy has consistently put up +.900sv% on a buffalo team that has been basement dwellers the past decade. The only thing hindering him were injuries but with how much they over worked him over there i'm not at all shocked. Swayman will give him a good balance. I can easily see both playing 50-30 or 40-40 games.

Thread: Worst general manager in the league
Ullmark was their best signing imo you'll eat your words on him this szn. BOS badly needed to change the bottom6 they didn't generate anything last szn so i like the signings, especially since they weren't overpaid or bad term, unlike a lot of other FA forward signing we saw across the league. Forbot was overpaid by 500k but BOS leftside was beat to the ground in injuries that cassidy needed to go with ahcan at times so defensive depth is always good. Yes they do need a bonife top4 LD but there weren't any available except Suter and DAL signed him to a horrid contract. I see them adding ekholm or lindholm at the deadline if they need to. The top6 was set once they brought in Hall and Smith started playing good/forming chemistry on that 2nd line, Sweeney didn't need to go after any big name forwards. All that needs to be done now is sign Krech &amp; Rask midseason and the team will 100% look a lot better than last year, which is what you want to see after FA. This was in all honesty one of Sweeney's better offszn. Last year fans were complaining he didn't do anything and now they're complaining he did stuff i dont get it.

Thread: Boston Bruins 2021-22
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_G2011</b></div><div>Suter will end up with the Islanders most likely. The Bruins are notorious for overpaying when desperate. I agree the money could be used else where, but given this teams track record I’m not confident; most cap space in a long time with a decent chunk of the vital players intact and they will just add “depth” pieces to say they did something so they don’t go into the season with over $8 million in cap space. I do not believe they will get a shutdown, quality LD. They will get a 3rd pairing Dman, maybe a bottom 6 forward, a backup goalie for cheap money and will be average, and they will wing it. Same old song and dance.</div></div>

tbf there weren't a lot of options for quality shutdown LD in this FA, pretty much just suter. Also Sweeney doesn't need to make a big splash in FA, there aren't really any forwards that will improve the lineup and the only ones that will have all been badly overpaid. BOS bottom6 desperately needed a shakeup after how poorly the depth scoring was, and Nosek/Haula def makes the lineup better. Forbort was paid 500k too much but at the end of the day BOS defensive depth last year was horrendous, and most of the available FA dmen were overpaid so I don't entirely blame him. Looks like the plan is to see what they got in training camp and if any of the young guys made progress. Lots of internal competition on the left side now you love to see it. And if need be they just acquire a bonifide topLD like ekholm or lindholm at the deadline
