Now that I've finished reading through the thread,
A few thoughts ,
For those worried about Chickrun's knees , it's not the 70's anymore . knee surgeries have a way higher success rate these days. Bobby Orr would have played way longer than he did if he played in this era.
Chickrun would balance out the Bruins D like you can't imagine, just what the doctor ordered. DS is bang pursuing this asset.
Did we all forget why the Bruins overperformed last season? It was Sway and Ullmark , it would work even better with the few upgrades the Bruins can make this season . You're paying the price for Ullmark or keep on walking. I don't give a f*** what anyone's take on this is . pay or move on. If the Sens decide to pass on Ullmark, then what? Bruins have all the leverage , don't be fooled.
Saw Sprong's name come up, really? Aim higher.
Poitras and Pinto have pretty much equal value at this point , which one would you rather face the Panthers with? Not saying trade Poitras , just saying don't disregard Pinto's value . There is room for both.
Not looking to make Lindholm rich, looking to better the team. Anything that starts with an 8 or higher , move on.
Monahan , for the right AAV, could be an asset. (3.75M max )
I see posters apprehensive about certain FA's You should be , there is a reason their teams let them get to FA status.
Poitras has Marc Savard potential in my eyes , but it's gonna take a few years . He will probably surpass Pinto at some point but we are ways from there .
