Thread: Road to playoffs next year

Yeah, I actually think as a Bruins fan that I would make this trade. I think Forbort is solid enough defensively to support Smith and the B's could use more offensive engagement from the blue line, especially at an ELC price. Clifton is just a guy and I would expect a healthy Zboril to unseat him next year if the status quo remained. With that being said, without a first this year that second-rounder has more value for the Bs. Make it a 3rd or a 2024 second-rounder and I would accept it no question.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Lol cmon man. This is goofy. Yes, i pointed out that any site that has the word, “rumors,” in it is suspect. Isn’t that obvious? Their whole job is to generate clicks, so they usually just print crap. Theres no need to be accurate…because its rumors. They make stuff up all the time.

If you think my response are more or less, “no you’re dumb,” you’re either thinking of a different poster. Sure, i have my fair share of, “everyone declines,” when theres some montreal ACGM that has petry getting massive value, price moving on for top notch value, and Gallagher traded for a reasonable asset, who doesn’t. I give reasoning.

Let’s just start with this. I asked a simple question as to why the bruins have to trade debrusk. You didnt have an answer, you just answered it with another silly question. How is that, “no, you’re dumb?”

Then you snapped at some guy for being cynical when he just pointed out genuine, and frankly obvious flaws in your ACGM. Why get so defensive? The guy brought up good points and you’re going to go name calling instead of just acting like an adult? You’re on an anonymous Internet forum dude. If you can’t take criticism, make don’t hit publish.

You’re going on about how the site is supposed to be fun…so why are you snapping anytime anyone has a different opinion. Seems rather hypocritical and childish.</div></div>

The only person I take issue with is you because I’ve seen you do this to me and other countless times. I have the right person. It’s old. I’m happy to take criticism if it’s constructive and with you it’s not. Neither is when anyone says “everyone declines” and doesn’t back it up. Just stay off my posts if you don’t want me to point out the flaws in your approach. I certainly don’t enjoy your input and you don’t seem to appreciate my thoughts anyhow.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>I would tend to avoid any site that has the word “rumor,” in it. It also just doesn’t make sense. The post said a one year deal would “make sense for both sides.” I just can’t see an angle where it makes sense for zboril.

Stop it. Don’t be defensive because people disagree with you. The notion that anyone that disagrees with your ACGM is a troll is foolish. If thats your line of thinking, why make it public? Are you just here hoping that people will pat you on the back and tell you what a great job you did? It’s not going to happen when you’re signing Casey desmith to an AHL deal, signing bergeron to a multi year extension (no shot), trading debrusk for a downgrade and a pick (if that was going to happen, it would have happened long ago), getting vancouver to willingly downgrade for a fourth, and moving foligno for an asset.

Disagreement does not equate to trolling. No need to be defensive or argumentative.</div></div>

Your problem is that you’re not constructive at all and you just dismiss things if they aren’t exactly what they think they should be. Take ProHockeyRumors: a reputable aggregator owned by MLB Trade Rumors which might be the most reputable baseball site in existence. You don’t know the site you your response is “ I would tend to avoid any site that has the word ‘rumor’ in it”. Pretentious much? Your typical response to a AGM is more or less “lol no you’re dumb” without any context. You have hard opinions, right or wrong, and just expect that everyone shares them and if they don’t their worthy of your belittling but not any actual thought and consideration. My guess is that it makes you feel good about yourself to just publicly state that you know more than others but by not providing any constructive comments of your own there’s no opportunity for anyone to refute it - like I just did with the Zboril news. Just calm down. This site is supposed to be fun. You’re welcome to share your opinions but no one is here for you to act like the be all, end all of AGMs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>The narrative comes from logic.
Group 6 benefits zboril. Think of it from his side. What he should want is to play more minutes, in a bigger role to earn the big contract. He likely also wants to play on the left side where he’s better.
The bruins had three guys all recently signed to pretty big deals when the season started. Then they gave up vaakanainen, a 1st, and two 2nds to get a player at the same position, and gave him an 8 year extension.

Where’s the opportunity? Where are those minutes coming?

Or he can just sign with one of the many teams that needs to add at that position, and get his opportunity. Seems silly that he would return to the bruins.

Where was this report? I didn’t see it.</div></div>

Read em and weep. No one is tied in to the inner workings of the Bruins, especially long-time Providence Bruins, than Divver.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Every one of those trades is declined. Reilly will go for a 3rd but it won’t be Arizona.

Don’t see any point in trading for Garland when Lysell is not far away and has more upside. And they still need to find full time roles for Studnicka and Steen.

Don’t see Zboril returning. He wanted out for 2 years and his injury gifted him free agency.

Don’t see them signing a goalie. Sway/Ully in Boston and Keyser/Bussi in Prov. They are set. Can’t see them sending Bussi to ECHL.

You are not moving Foligno’s full 3.8m without paying to do it. It’s wishful thinking.</div></div>

Try not to be so cynical bro. It doesn’t really matter where Reilly goes, what matters to the AGM is that his market value is a 3rd. A contending team is not just gonna trade DeBrusk and not replace him because Lysell is on the way at some point - that’s why you don’t re-sign Smith next year. They’re also not going to rely on Keyser and Bussi when Ullmark has an injury history. Young goalies go the ECHL. It happens. Neither guy is a world beater by any means and odds are you weren’t exactly glued to the TV watching Bussi at WMU. He’s a project prospect and not commanding AHL starts in year one. Finally I made it clear you move Foligno one way or another. The hope is someone throws a late pick out and takes his full cap hit, but if you need to buy him out or add a late pick or your own, so be it.
