<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>im also sure bergeron would love to lose every bruins fan that ever loved him, come on be smart that move would be so disrespectful to the bruins franchise and bruins community. also im sure bergy is gonna wanna compete for a cup till he retires and montreal had their chance and i don't see them getting another chance for a while with how stacked the atlantic is. ottawa and detroit are gonna become real good as their youth develops, boston and tampa even though they are getting on the older side are still solid teams and florida and toronto though they might not have much playoff success are still 2 of the most dominant regular season teams.</div></div>

That’d be pretty pathetic for any Bruins fan after all he’s done for your franchise. But to each their own.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>uphere</b></div><div>That is your opinion. Chiarot's underlying stats reveal some issues with his play, and that is not opinion. Habs fans and some pundits may feel a 1st round draft pick is a reasonable ask for Chiarot, but the market will determine what the true price is. Holland has seen this before. It was maybe 14 months ago that many fans and pundits suggested he unload Puljujarvi for next to nothing. He chose a different path, and we can all see he made the correct decision.

Montreal's season is in serious trouble, so Chiarot's name is on the lips of those who like to speculate. Other teams may also be looking to make roster moves. Ken Holland will likely asses the market before making a decision. He could pay more for a better player, or less for a similar player, or he could pay whatever the market price is for Chiarot. Time will tell.</div></div>

I see, you’re one of those. The “my chosen way of analyzing numbers isn’t an opinion” people.

You are correct though, that the market always dictates price.

And while recent history can clearly not be viewed as a predictor for the future, with certainty, the two do often resemble each other quite a lot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Directly quoting that same post you quoted:



Chiarot doesn't have the track record to simply ignore how bad he's been this season. Thinking you can dunk on a guy for not staking value in a cinderella run when I have a perfectly justified position to do so seems like a very odd use of your time.

De Haan is my front runner strictly because his metrics suggest he would pair very well with Barrie, which frees the slot beside Nurse for Bouchard. Lindholm if the Ducks suddenly fall out of the race is my secondary option. Beyond those two, I'd look to Gavrikov before Chiarot strictly because his term offers more incentive to offer a first.

The odds are infinitesimally low but I'd be more than happy for the Oilers to blow their wad on Chychrun.</div></div>

De Haan is definitely cheaper than Chiarot. Nowhere near as good though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Savard had a really, really good track record leading up to that season however and had six years of top-pair workloads. Chiarot's only ever been top-four good with the Habs. I'm not convinced with his track record and ultimately what would convince me is if he went and rebounded elsewhere such that Edmonton doesn't assume that risk.

One of those odd cases where I'd much prefer to admit I was wrong than gamble on being right.



Holland will probably panic yes.

I specifically said "should be looking to contend", not that they are contending. The hockey gods gave them a legitimate shot at winning their division and the playoffs are a crapshoot. The western conference is within reach and if they're serious about making a bonafide run then they must do better than Chiarot.</div></div>

Must do better than a big minute shutdown top 4 D from last season’s cup finalist. LOL

Who exactly is your suggestion?

Of someone who’s actually available?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>That's your opinion.

My opinion is that it's people like you who are ruining the newest generation of kids by telling them they shouldn't feel anxiety and other feelings and use them as a crutch/excuse while medicating the feelings out of them that turns into a generation of people who can't take responsibility for their behaviors... not to say that all conditions are like this for example I find ptsd to be a very real and serious condition.

But for a pro athlete on one of the biggest stages in the league who isn't and hasn't been performing to what scouts and coaches said he could be at 18/19 yrs old, for that person to have anxiety is normal and if they can't handle that (being a pro athlete) then move aside and make some other kids dream come true</div></div>

Interesting take.

I work with kids with learning differences and with anxiety disorders. I prefer verbal one on one coaching over medication in pretty much all cases.

What do you do exactly? Other than perpetuating your belief that those who tackle their mental health issues head on need to be perceived as « having a stigma » that in your opinion « should » follow them around?

You’re entitled to your wrong opinion Jeff. And the rest of the world is allowed to judge you for it.

Deservedly so.
