I would be all in on Norris if he was available, especially buying now while his value is the lowest. It would probably have to be an offseason move tho

He’ll get healthy and rebound. He’d be a fantastic fit in the top six.
Multiple shoulder injuries (and surgeries) scare me. Loss of mobility in the shoulders really affects shooting power in a significant way.

I want Brady, but I'd settle for Norris, although I don't see Ottawa trading either within the division.
 
And yet, I can't shake this feeling that he is not aiming at a center come deadline - he's angling for another dman.
Yeah, some rumors suggest he is working toward getting a defenseman. (Maybe he just specifically wants Hanifin?) He has a need on defense, but he needs a good center or two even more and the quicker he can do something the better.

Dual income no kids?

Corey Perry was on an almost 40 point pace and put up solid numbers the past few seasons. His game has never been about speed, he hangs around the net, stirs s**t and bangs home rebounds. That would look pretty good on a vanilla, unproductive, uninspired non physical fourth line with no real identity currently employing Jesper Boqvist who is fast and awful


Maybe if Beecher decides he wants to be an NHL regular for the next 10 years using his speed and size to hit on a regular basis, otherwise no, and I like Lauko but he is underwhelming.
I agree, and we put Boqvist on the first line with top guns and he bring nothing and we have Merk who s hot offensive weapon habilitys and we put him on the 4th line as a defensive think, sorry i dont catch, even if Boqvist already played with Zacha in NJ, it was fsr from a success

Perry does not move the needle for us, would rather dress the kids than see him on our team. What happened with Mitchell and Looch, it'd be a PR nightmare bringing in another guy with baggage.

If the Bruins brass are content not doing anything this season and hoping for a playoff round, maybe two, then trade some of our UFA's to recoup some damn assets. Forbort, Gryz, JVR, Heinen, maybe even Debrusk.

If they want to attempt to win the damn cup then this team is simply not good enough and we need a top 6 player and a Hanifin.
 
Monahan grumblings out there...
Four less points than Lindholm who plays with better linemates. Teams like Colorado that are looking at adding Lindholm at his price tag could benefit at looking at Monahan instead.

A nice 57.7% face off win percentage as well.

He’s been awful this year so grumblings is an apt misnomer
Have you watched a lot of MTL his numbers seem pretty good for a bad team.

Thanks ! Found this out there as well


Per his agent, #Yotes   , #NHLBruins   , #LeafsForever    and #LGRW    showing interest in #Spartak Maxim Tsyplakov.

They'll make a decision on where he continues his career at the end of the season.
Tsyplakov, a 25-year-old native of Moscow, Russia, is an undrafted forward who stands at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds. He’s had a breakout season in the KHL this year, scoring 22 goals and tallying 32 points in 48 games for Spartak Moskva as of today. He’s projected to finish the season with 30 goals and 44 points in 66 games.

Wonder if he's any relation to former Kings forward Vladimir Tsyplakov? Age would be right to be a son.
