Forbert when healthy plays physical enough, not in the hitting everything that moves sense but he does in clearing out in front of the net.

So in your revisionist history the D that had Ference, Chara, Boychuk, McQuaid and Siedenberg needed to have Matt Grzelcyk on it to be better??????????? The game isn't a speed skating competition yet, if it was Grzelcyk would have some value as opposed to know when he has none to anyone but Sweeney.
Meh, I meant send Grizz to Providence.

I think Lindholm would be great here. I do hate that we’d have two jersey names with that weird looking first initial.last name look tho lol
We did have Kaberle who was a better version of Gryz.
Probably nobody. The B's front office doesn't like to "tip their hand" lol.

Guy is cooked. It isn't 2019 anymore.
Trenin is on pace for 18 points.
Lindholm has been posting bad numbers, and Vancouver already wants out.
Is this really what we want? Or is it going to move the needle?
Either chase high impact guys or stand pat IMO.

Sure, don't disagree there. That however doesn't mean that you can't have some muscle in your lineup either. I'm not sure how fast guys will be skating if they're getting absolutely trucked in a corner. Florida caught on last year that they could just dump the puck in, skate to it without getting hit. Other than McAvoy we have ZERO d-men who would make you think twice.
Revisionist history? The highlights are there for you to see. That D got burned in transition and it was part of a long history of the Bruins D getting worked by smaller, quicker players who were able to go up ice with the puck or get to the puck first on dump ins. Thomas saved that team from an early exit, and that's a fact.
Don't forget, the Bruins knew the flaw in their defense and picked up a puck moving, PP QB in Kaberle because it was an obvious need. You can't win on brawn alone.
Has there ever been a player coming back in a trade that we all loved?
I don't think so.
Also let fans be fans and stop thinking we are smarter than the next guy/girl and let the suggestions fly.

Yes he was and I would welcome a 28 year old Kaberle back on this current team.
I agree, problem is this current team has none

Obvious proof he has been indicted for espionage.
Or, clean out anyone that is taking up needless cap space and and try to get some picks/a prospect or two. "Stand pat" no, never stand pat always look to improve even if you can only do tiny increments. If nobody gives a decent return of JDB (I hate to say this) then keep him. Open up some Cap space, and call up some kids.
I think it would be better if we had some hard hitting forwards like Florida did. Big dmen will still get hit (Carlo, Lindholm). Need to hit their Dmen.
I know this time of year this type of thing gets people twittering, but hasn't he been hurt lately? I am more inclined to think that than that he's being moved.

Matt Porter mentioned (not rumoring) Buchnevich from the Blues. I like that. A lot.
For the mentioned Caps players, Don has shown he will return to the well (the ducks). He dealt with them last deadline. You never know.

I also agree with this. You need physicality sprinkled throughout your line up. I'd argue physical forwards are more key to the Bruins success in the post season that the defense, even if certain people don't want to hear it.
Certain people tell you that certain players suck, but don't come up with alternatives. Playing it safe.

Are we basing high impact guys only on analytics? Trenin and Edmundson make this team tougher to play against. Lindholm is a better center than anyone they have at center currently, if he doesn't work out you can move on from him.
Anything is possible but the rumors of Edmunson and now Forbort not skating is hard to think something may be going down
