Thread: need to be a contender again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>even more ridiculous than that. i was at the garden when the bruins lost in 2010. the bars afterwards were packed with guys that played JV in high school talking about how they had to trade chara, move on from krejci, fire julien, ditch rask...all sorts of stuff like that.</div></div>

Not surprising, but that's still ridiculous

But back to the original point. You need to have a good team to contend in the playoffs (obviously) but it really is a lot of getting hot at the right time and getting some puck luck. This Bruins team has enough to do that imo. They're never going to get blown out in a series. Resource wise, I'd understand going all in again, going after lower priced targets, or sticking pat at the deadline. Makes zero sense to sell, not that I think Sweeney would ever do that.

Thread: Wennberg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Here’s my thinking. Is he an upgrade over Geekie. Not really. Pretty much a lateral move at 3C and fixes none of their problems.

On top of which Geekie has been much better at C than W this year. They could make Geekie C4 but that’s a waste.

Don’t really see the point of pursuing him other than insurance versus injuries at center, which would leave them thin. For that alone i would be ok with it, but they really need a goal scorer more and they don’t have the cap space for multiple moves.</div></div>

I just don't think him and Geekie are all that comparable playstyle wise. Wennberg, to me, is a center-only version of Mojo. Good passer, slick skater, reliable in his own end. I like how it lengthens the lineup, it just adds versatility. If one of Geekie/JVR/Freddy/Heinen etc are having a poor game, it allows you to play them a bit less on the 4th line and you can elevate whoever looks good from the 4th.

With the lack of assets the Bs have, I'm all for getting a guy like Wennberg for cheap. Don't see them trading Forbort without another dman coming back though
