FWIW...

 

[Bearclaw]

Fingers crossed the competition has ramped up and we get a bidding war.

Give me that 7th overall!

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

FWIW...

 

[Drift]

I feel like 7 mil for Chychrun is an overpayment based on past results. He could develop but he is a 40 pt player who was -30. Weegar got 6.25 and was a 40 pt player but was + 40. Major difference. but that was years ago.

7th overall isn't happening

I would not want to sign him for 7 mill. His injury history concerns me.

 

[Dr Hook]

Give him the Lindholm deal- 7x6.5. It’s fair and he’s young enough that the term isn’t a killer. And hope he’s got his knees sorted out.

 

[Ratty]

If the rumors become fact and Chichrun is indeed headed this way it would set up an exciting backend combo of. Youth and experience. Effective on the D, offense and the PP.

Lohrei-McAvoy
Chychrn-Carlo
Hampus-Peeke
Wotherspoon

Or some combination thereof.

 

[Shaun]

i am intrigued by iginlas kid at 7 no idea if it’s on the table or not

 

[Bearclaw]

7th overall isn't happening

Probably not but if multiple teams are involved, who knows how high this thing goes?

 

[McGarnagle]

I'd throw a good prospect along with Ullmark if it gets us to 7 with Lil' Iginla on the board

 

[ylekot]

Probably not but if multiple teams are involved, who knows how high this thing goes?

Nothing wrong with an old fashioned bidding war

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

If it is Ottawa I'd still rather find a way to get Pinto than Chychrun in the deal but Chychrun coming in is fine too. A first round pick is okay but I'd rather we get a player now.

Since they are talking to Bussi about a contract I want to think things are really close. Hope so. This is getting agonizing. So much hinges on it.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

If the rumors become fact and Chichrun is indeed headed this way it would set up an exciting backend combo of. Youth and experience. Effective on the D, offense and the PP.

Lohrei-McAvoy
Chychrn-Carlo
Hampus-Peeke
Wotherspoon

Or some combination thereof.

Lindholm will not be a 3rd pair guy behind Lohrei & Chychrun.

 

[GordonHowe]

FWIW...

Drive that bargain hard, Donnie.

 

[DominicT]

And on and on we go…….

I want to. I really do.

It's just very quiet.

I just sent a text asking "how does Andlauer feel about paying Ullmark's signing bonus, or are they trying to wait until after Boston pays it?"

We'll see.

 

[sarge88]

I feel like 7 mil for Chychrun is an overpayment based on past results. He could develop but he is a 40 pt player who was -30. Weegar got 6.25 and was a 40 pt player but was + 40. Major difference. but that was years ago.

And on a much better team.

Plus with the cap going up 7 will be more palatable in a couple of years.

I’d rather not be at 7 but we know it won’t be 5.5, and once we get into the sixes it’s kind of splitting hairs.

 

[GordonHowe]

I literally have not thought about Mackenzie Weeger in what seems like ages.

As you get older, time flies.

You'r going to turn around in a few years and Mason Lohrei will be 32.

Book it, as the Dorito Bandit would have it.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Any chance that the Bs get involved in the McGroarty drama? They should? Dom?

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Not Dom, but have opinions. The kid is pissed at Winnipeg, because they believe the best place for his development is the AHL. He wants a free pass to the NHL. If he came to Boston he'd go to the AHL. Maybe he would accept it somewhere else, but I don't see the fit

 

[PlayMakers]

If we get Jeff C. We will have almost 40 million spent on D and Goaltening.

I would expect the Bruins to allocate 44% to D and G which is around $39m, so they're right on target.

@DominicT ...Just want to say I really appreciate all you bring to this board.

It's a kid thing. They want max dollars, all the Clauses, short term so they can stay current with market value. The want NBA contracts. Next CBA is going to be interesting and that is only one thing.

we don’t have any forwards to pay so hell yah - 7 M for Chychrun

I would give him the DeBrusk 5/30

Definitely didn’t see this coming

Lindholm- McAvoy

Chychrun- Carlo

Lohrei - Peeke
