<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>I don't want PLD anywhere near this team, Captain Underachiever</div></div>

Just overpaid a touch, which I attempted to correct.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CalvinKlein</b></div><div>Hard pass on Dubios. I wouldn't offer a 1st round pick for him, I wouldn't even take him if LA attached a 1st to get rid of him.

Yes, he's very talented but he's been on 3 teams and he's been an issue for each of them, that's impressive for someone who hasn't turned 26.</div></div>

Three teams would be a red flag for some players, but Columbus and Winnipeg are hard markets for some players. If he was pushed off two other winning clubs, it would be more worrisome…but they both kind of stunk while he was a member.

Also…he does have connection to Hughes’ (including Jim’s camp).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>We graciously thank you for your offer of upgrading our 2nd to a 1st for $21M retained over 7 years for a 25 year-old center. But come on Blake has already said in his presser, they are committed to making it work, his NMC kicks in July 1st, he isn't getting bought out.

LA is no stranger to criticism, Danault overpaid, Fiala overpaid, Vilardi was a bust, then Byfield was a bust, now it is Turcotte is a bust and Clarke mismanaged. PLD will put up 25 goals next season and people think Blake is smart for holding steady after overpaying for essentially the Kings new Jeff Carter.

The front office isn't moving him, they can't afford to get a new center with Kopi retiring, and PLD's contract will essentially guarantee a coach or a system that benefits him to make Blake look like he's not a moron.</div></div>

FWIW, I have never said any of those things. If anything I have been bullish on Byfield, Turcotte when others weren’t.

Thread: Actual full rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>i mean, i don't even think this is subjective at this point. First issue is that Provorov is awful. he's really bad. If you look at the bruins back end, obviously Lindholm and Lohrei are ahead of him on the left side. They're not picking up his contract to play him on the third pair.....
then factor in again that he's REALLY bad.
Now let's start to consider his bigotry. Not sure if you've ever been to massachusetts, but the intolerance around sexual orientation isn't tolerated. It would be a brutal PR move to pick him up, which I think the bruins would absolutely do (they have in the past), if he was good, and didn't have a horrible contract. but he's not, and he does. No shot the bruins would ever even take the call about acquiring him.</div></div>

Really…?

Which is more bigoted?

The guy saying, “I respect everyone’s views. My choice is to stay true to my religion”

The group saying, “People like you not welcome here”


Golly
