They have zero interest in Debrusk (not because he's not good, but they don't need a winger).
How are you moving Smith and Reilly? Reilly could've been had for free by any team a couple weeks ago and there were no takers.
Not sure not my problem. They will have to figure it out because someone’s gotta go
Every day that passes, and with every goal he scores I get more and more worried. If we trade him I'm going to be devastated. If he walks for nothing I don't even know what I'll do. I'd like to say I'd find a new team to root for but I know that's not true.
With his cap hit vs. production, no one in the east willing to help out the Bruins cap problems, gives us limited suitors, and arguably I could see him slipping through waivers unclaimed. He's a bottom 6 forward shooting forward that seems to have lost any scoring touch.
I think I was told a couple months ago that there was plenty of time, no reason to worry, and he'd be extended by training camp.
Easy teams don;t always claim players before the season as they are assessing what they have, also as the season goes on teams need D at some point and Reilly has played pretty well.
If they don't sign Pasta, Sweeney should be shown the door.
What Players are traded remains to be determined. I am of the mind set you make all off your LD available with the exception of Lindholm . You can figure out who other teams may be interested in and what the return may be.
Hopefully Pasta likes playing with Zacha... that could be he centerman for the foreseeable future.
You give up Zacka and a first and " you can hopefully retain Hovat " . I suggest holding off the on the center position until off season unless you are blown away with a deal.
I agree and we have Coyle for the third line and is doing a great job . Center is not the problem right now cap space and defense should be the concern..........
not to mention do we have the pieces to acquire Hertl... gotta think SJ wants a "Lysell" type prospect or a boat load of pics
When Krecji decided to comeback was a big boost for this team this year , but I do believe it stalls what should be done for the future for the center position. If the Bruins are going to make a move this year and I don't think any of this is possible without salaries being moved , but in my opinion I would be more interested in Hertl than Hovat.....
Oh no! If it comes with the godfather's book it success rate, then we are in even worse shape than I thought.
teams needed to be cap compliant at the same time as us. it was an educated risk Sweeney took running him through waivers. a few teams yes could have grabbed him and didn't but majority of teams couldn't at the time take on the 3M in salary before needing to be cap compliant.... like us... conveniently when all teams could use LTIR we had foligno and reilly back in the fold. reports said Habs wanted him but didn't have the space... now if you put reilly or stud or smith on waivers they're gone.
I think I read somewhere.. take that with a grain of salt. but the main hold up was bonus structure and lock out protection... ie Pasta's agent wants a bonus structured contract with minimal salary and heavy bonus around the end of the CBA... which I guess typically isn't something the Jacobs family likes to allow their GMS to allow in contracts.
He seems like he loves Boston so hopefully he will stay. He is so important to the Bs
