Worse case scenerio/cheap signing. G6 UfA??
Perhaps Alex True or Matthew Phillips can take the next step
True is a 6'5 forward. Signed by Sharks. Taken in the expansion draft by Kraken. Had a solid AHL season and better playoffs. Only 25 y/o
Phillips also 25... was one of the best AHL players/point producer/goal scorer. Had a whopping 15gwg. One of the highest total in recent AHL memory. Offensive dynamo. Fast skater. Competes from scouting report. The issue is.... he is only 5'7 and 150 pounds.
They deserve a break...

How long can we ask Bergy and Krejci to play for peanuts?
They deserve a break...
If the B's could sign O'Reilly and Duchene on short term cheap deals, you have your two top 6 centers at least for the short term without giving up any assets.

I'm in, but get Heinen the f*** away.
My issue is I’m 5’8 and 215 pounds

I listened to a good chunk of the coverage of Rounds 2-3 of the draft on NHL Network Radio and the commentary with regards to the Bruins was telling when they came up for their first pick.
Essentially, in a cap league, you’re going to have ups and downs. You’re going to have times when you push your chips into the center of the table, but then you’re going to pay the price for that down the line.
The Bruins are there.
The panel insinuated that the same issue is coming to haunt to Maple Leafs.
It’s all about making sure you WIN when you do swing for it. Interestingly, the talking heads (Canadian Media) felt like Boston made the most of its window and that their power play has been worth the crunch that they’re now under cap wise.

Is Pasta a healthy scratch or did we trade him for AHLers?

I think I’d prefer Kessel to Wheeler. That whole Winnipeg leadership group in Winnipeg has red flags. At least with Phil you’re getting a good locker room guy that had no problem sitting during most of Vegas’ playoff run.

I just want Grizz gone because I’m sick of hearing his name. I feel like Rod Serling should be narrating his timeline with the Bruins. It’s like parallel universes converged here on HF Boards. He’s either severely overrated or severely underrated. Or both at the same time. I can’t tell anymore.

They're trading him. Updated lineup to reflect this:
Marchand-Bergeron-Sturm
Lucic-Krejci-Wheeler
Heinen-Primeau-Kessel
Kuraly-Accari-Frederic

Traded him to New Jersey to get Dougie Hamilton back.
My fav part of the Nick Ritchie era was being 6’2 245 and acting like I have the body of a professional athlete

Is someone actually entertaining the idea of bringing Phil Kessel back?

Now now Michael, let’s work on our words of affirmation

If Wheeler is looking for a "new experience," I guess that rules out the Bruins, but darned if it is not a fit in a few ways.
