What is that about?

My guess is orlov/bert/bergy/krejci

 

[LouJersey]

Gonna be a long one folks

Good news

 

[PB37]

What is that about?

KDP thinks Sweeney didn't sound optimistic about the chances of resigning Bertuzzi, Orlov, Hathaway, Nosek.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I assume any of the four means Bergeron Krejci, Bertuzzi, Orlov?

KDP thinks Sweeney didn't sound optimistic about the chances or resigning Bertuzzi, Orlov, Hathaway, Nosek

This was an excellent case study in the ability to make two clicks to do research. Congrats for passing!

At least re-sign Nosek....oh my,I thought Hathaway was a cinch. Live and Learn. On the plus side sounds like they will acquire another center, maybe?

 

[NeelyDan]

We might actually be in some big trouble here lol

 

[Bodit9]

Is there an "or" in there or an "and?" Big difference.

Dom's article bummed me out.

 

[Dr Hook]

Clarity of language matters. Unlikely that they would retain all four? Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see that. Any of the four? Is that what he meant?

All as mentioned in post 747

 

[NeelyDan]

I really hope this isn’t the way this era ends

Fair enough, but then again, it's reporter saying he didn't "sound" optmistic. Okay. When has Sweeney every been anything but forthright and direct in his press statements

 

[Absurdity]

Orlov probably wants too much money
Bertuzzi probably wants too much term
Hathaway and Nosek will probably be too expensive for the 4th line.

 

[Dr Hook]

I really hope this isn’t the way this era ends

Me too, and given that it's the centennial season, it's hard to see them just letting everyone walk, and rolling with Coyle, Zacha, Beecher, and Merkulov as your lineup down the middle.

Yeah I would like to hear other Boston reporters' opinions, it could just be KPD being KPD.

I also find it hard to believe the Bruins would trade Hall to clear his cap without having an idea how their top 6 will look like with or without Bertuzzi.

They had one last kick at the cat ,but they blew it .

 

[smithformeragent]

Need to fortify top six center first and then fill out the tertiary pieces.

Fwiw, social media is not so easy to navigate for folks who actively avoid social media.

 

[PB37]

Yeah, it's just KDP's interpretation. Could have just been Sweeney being coy with media like he tends to do when in reality, something else is going on.
