I don’t know why it has to be poitras or pinto and why it can’t be both. Personally think we could use two up and coming centers, just my opinion.

 

[JAD]

I go 80% with ground beef.

Presently, its NY strip steak or Ribeye.

in is lovely but you are paying as much or more for less.

Plenty of marbling.

For whatever reason, beef available in the United States has more water weight than that available in, say, Western Europe.

So, salt uncovered in refrigerator the evening before searing.

The outside of the will be nice and crispy, the inside tender and flavorful.

I prefer my beef rare. If you do as well, sear attentively at high heat on both sides.

Bon appetit.

I go to my local Sam's Club and ask the butcher for whole uncut chuck roll. Yeah, buy in bulk then carve it myself and freeze what I don't cook right away. Save's me a little over $2 a pound. The Chuck portion is right next to the ribeye and usually contains some ribeye meat.

Because some here like to debate everything... But, it's easier to have a Center play Wing than vice-versa, and it's a nice way to cover Center i.e. Domi for Toronto last playoffs.

Usually I cut into steaks but one can also grind the side timings for burgers. It is a choice of preference. But, I can usually find ground beef for less $ if your not to picky regarding amount of fat ... and I'm not.

With the rumors of Vegas and Detroit entering the mix, keeping the NTC aside, what pieces do they have that could beat the rumored Ottawa deal?

 

[ON3M4N]

there are ways to dissuade teams from claiming guys off waivers. i wouldn't be surprised if bruins signed bussi
to a 2 or 3 year deal where the money is like 800/900k but 1 way for all or most of the term.

Would that really dissuade anyone from claiming him though? Anyone who claims him has to keep him on their NHL roster for the full season

 

[dafoomie]

Personally, I don't want Coyle centering long term in the top six. I would rather the team find another option and also let Poitras develop physically in Providence. Coyle's greatest asset to this team is as third line center ... If we had other options.

But ... if he has to be your 2nd line center, remember he is not a play making creative center, the line will struggle to create offense off the rush/zone entry break in. His strength is possession and protecting the puck. He also has a very good shot from the slot. If Marchand is the play making winger on the line, the Bruins need a Cashman-like winger on the other side who will go into the corners doing the dirty work digging the puck out. Coyle needs to park himself in the slot. The wingers need to feed Coyle the puck in the slot as their first option for one timers.
As a side note I would have deployed Coyle as Barkov's shadow living in his back pocket every time Barkov touched the ice. Certainly wouldn't have hurt Coyle offense in that series. But, we will never know.

I agree, I would like to see Coyle as either the 3C or gone, he might be a top tier 3C but he's just not a top 2 center. I think they will take the easy road and keep him there until Poitras can take that spot from him, and that won't be right away and maybe not this season. We're underestimating the recovery time required, it's not 6 months until he's 100% ready to play, it's 6 months of rehab until he can even start working out without restrictions. I'm not sure at what point he even gets back to where he was let alone adds the strength that he lacked last year.

Tough question I would think, you may be better asking where to buy hamburger meat.

Take out the 2nd and we have a deal!

 

[JOKER 192]

I f Linus is not traded before the Draft should we worry?
also what happens in Linus is Moved but they can't get Sway signed?

DS gets fired

 

[wintersej]

With the rumors of Vegas and Detroit entering the mix, keeping the NTC aside, what pieces do they have that could beat the rumored Ottawa deal?

Better 1sts. Which is probably why Ottawa has the “f*** you” level plus with Chychrun.

If Ottawa is only offering Chychrun and 25, Vegas could offer Shea Theodore and 19.

Or Hertl...

 

[bruinmann77]

And we won’t have to face linus

I’ve gone back and forth on this since the Chychrun talk started. Looking at that, with Frederic and Coyle on the 2nd line and Heinen here, I think I’d rather see Ullmark moved for picks/prospects and go with:

McAvoy, Carlo, Lindholm, Lohrei, Peake, and a Dillon type with a better group of forwards than Chychrun here with us “hoping” that Frederic amd Coyle can be something they’re not.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Or Hertl...

yuck

 

[bruinmann77]

You will think the trade if happens is before the draft ? FA is going to be fun

 

[Blowfish]

https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/dark-horse-landing-spot-for-bruins-linus-ullmark-revealed#:~:text=Trade%20rumors%20surrounding%20Boston%20Bruins,if%20a%20deal%20was%20finalized.

While on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast, Elliotte Friedman shared his opinion on Yzerman wanting the Red Wings to add a goalie for the long term:

"This Yzerman quote, if he's interested in Ullmark, that says to me he wants Ullmark with an extension."

Ullmark would undoubtedly be a massive addition to the Red Wings' roster if acquired and extended. Ville Husso has not been the answer between the pipes for Detroit, as he has had under a .900 SV% in each of his two seasons since joining them. Meanwhile, Alex Lyon was solid in his first year in Detroit, but the backup role is probably a better fit for him.

 

[Pia8988]

Ullmark the most valuable goalie traded in the last 40 years

 

[BruinsJoe]

Hey guys if we trade Ullmark in couple hours or days, who s going to be Bs goalies? Swayman not signed yet, Bussi not signed yet, can we really trade Linus before Sway is locked? I know he s an RFA but...

 

[bbfan419]

I am trying to catch up on the news here, but my cat decided I ignored her today. She is in my crease, preventing me from seeing the updates.

Definitely goalie interference

 

[Patdud]

If the 2024 picks are involved needs to happen before the draft.

 

[goldenblack]

Said it 2 threads ago, but will repeat

The Swayman deal is definitely already done and agreed on. It gets announced right after this trade is finished. Sweeney will drop the combo move.

Linus is worth more this way
