I'd be kind of ticked at Briere if I were Anaheim.
Both teams got excellent players. But now Gauthier is going to get dogged by press to explain. And don't get me wrong, it's out there and if he decided to force himself out of Philly..... well press attention goes with the territory.
Again though, if I were Anaheim I would have preferred Briere not be quuuuuiiiiiiittttteeee so candid.
Fun for us fans, though!!!!

Does anyone see someone in TO being moved in the next season and a half before JT's contract expires? It would be hard to move him but I could see a team taking him with even some of the salary retained, but the question is, would he even agree to being moved?
With every huge money deal they sign and make official, it just makes it harder and harder for them to move salary. Everybody knows they're struggling with the cap and desperate to shed it.
I just sit back and laugh. I think they'll just let it ride with the huge contracts and hope for a miracle once tavares is off their books
Off topic a bit, but I saw a piece the other day that Lindros refused to be drafted by Quebec after they met and the GM made a lewd comment about his mother in French, not knowing she was fluent. I wonder how much truth there is to that.

Knowing the stories around Bonnie Lindros, I tend to believe it. Helicopter parent with sharpened talons they say.
ESPN story from back in the day.
Lindros needs to get away from his parents

Comparing TOR with BOS. After this year. (keep in mind its super early)
TOR 8 roster spots to fill with 21 mill cap space
BOS 9 roster spots to fill with 25 mill cap space.
considering one of the spots for BOS is Swayman, that puts both teams cap situation around the same.
And after next year, TOR is pretty much clean except for Mathews, Nylander and Reilly. 53 mill in cap space. B's will have about 49 mill in cap space
Of course the big question for TOR is what to do with Marner.
I think they are going to let Tavares walk or offer him pennies. Or at least that's what they should do.

Well.....
Toronto has to fill out 3 forward spots, 5 D spots and a goalie not counting any extra bodies to the 20 skaters playing
Boston is much more well rounded and is looking for depth. Not an entire D core and goalie tandem
Not a black and white comparison in my opinion

Top prospect Cutter Gauthier didn’t want to be a Flyer. Now he won’t be
Keith Jones, appearing on the Flyers’ television broadcast Monday, said: “You don’t want to be a Flyer? You’re not going to be a Flyer.”

Refusing to play for certain organizations does seem to work out for these guys.
Peyton Manning wasn't Ryan Leaf, Lindros had a good career, Wheeler coming to us instead of Arizona. I'd be bitter too if I was Philly that your draft pick is starting to look better than anyone in the upcoming draft.
Hell you can say the NHL is hurting as a whole because McDavid is stuck in Edmonton.

The Bruins could do worse at the moment. 4th line needs help and the kind of resolve and physical presence Wags brought to the table in 2018-20 would be useful. But he's 32 now and had his share of injuries. Not sure if there's anything left in the tank.

How has it not come out about what was done. Not even a peep. You'd think they'd be more transparent being the Hawks. It'll come out eventually.
