Boston Bruins 2023 Off-Season CAP, Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk VI

[The don godfather]

PS I saw a guy wearing a Godfather t shirt today @ Target.

Never read the book, but I'm old enough to remember what a cultural phenomena the movie was. Full page newspaper ads, always with the line, "Mario Puzo's The Godfather."

BTW, I'm sure you know this, but the bit with the horse head in the bed was "based on" (quite loosely, I'm sure) an anecdote about The Chairman of the Board (Frank).

Remember,

Or it was, anyway.


I'll take it.

The godfather greatest movie of all time. Marlon Brando would have been the best general manager in the nhl if he ever managed. I'll make him a offer he cant refuse.

Look up Brando and Richard Pryor.

Dare ya.

Shattenkirk is better then Clifton .Hopefully all those turn overs gone

Good for Clifton in Buff but glad that "experiment" is history.

The games are played on the ice not on the message boards. We all knew this was coming and were all happy with the investment made this past trade deadline. Stuff happens and they didn’t get it done. That was not due to a lack of trying to add pieces at the deadline. I read a lot of this same moaning and groaning last offseason about how they were going to be a mediocre team. When they went on their run so many on these boards acted like they predicted it. Complete BS. What they’re doing today in free agency is trying to ice a competitive team with very little financial wiggle room. I applaud the effort to this point and there’s some potential upside with Geekie which is a bit of a bonus. If you’re a true fan you’ll weather this storm, accept what had to be done, and look forward to whoever pulls on the B’s sweater next season.

Excellent post.

You and me both. I felt like he was irrationally overrated here. Good for Clifton getting paid, happy for him and his family. Just happy it’s not here

 

[GordonHowe]

They really should be going the other way and trading older players like Marchard and finding takers for Coyle, Debrusk, etc, and blowing this up and building the future Bruins with Pasta McAvoy Lohlei and Fabien. But they won't do this while Jacobs owns the team so now we're stuck looking at a roster with a few guys on vet minimum contracts that will take up valuable developmental minutes for some of the younger players.

Let's just see how Dev Camp and training camp go.

Hoping Bert overplayed his hand and comes back. At least he will have seen what was out there in terms of offers.

I rather doubt that. He's gone, and he's not going to "eat his pride" and slink back to Boston.

He's going to get *paid.* Good for him.

 

[GordonHowe]

The salary cap exists, Joe.

Yeah, it's a thing.

I've always liked Graves, but he'll probably cost too much money and posters here would completely lose their minds after seeing some of Wile E. Coyote, super genius moves/decisions.

I really like Adam Graves.

Dare ya.

Will do

 

[JCRO]

Frederic aside. I wonder if Lauko is moved after all these vet signings and the trade request. That’s a bummer imo if so

 

[GordonHowe]

Its gotta be bert Neely wants him my stomach is saying it.

What else does your stomach say?

 

[The don godfather]

Will do

Woah that's scary. Still love those 2 actors my childhood was watching all their hit movies. Godfather, Brewster million.

 

[GordonHowe]

Will do

Actually, maybe it's best to let that one go.

It seems I was too late in warning. My apologies.

You gotta see Pryor movie hear no evil see no evil.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Kevin Shattenkirk. Sweeney now officially has added the three most washed up players in the league.

I am not only back on the fire Sweneely train, I will be driving said train through the back wall of their offices with them there.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Duchene for 3mil and O'Reilly for 4.5

We're fine with Coyle though... yeah.

 

[Bruinsguy613]

feel like the Bs missed out on Logan Brown for the 4th line

 

[GordonHowe]

You gotta see Pryor movie hear no evil see no evil.

Pryor's first flick, and hilarious in its own right.

1968.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Can’t sign everyone.

 

[dugg133]

He's very bad

 

[BruinsJoe]

No it s the other Brown, fcking Patrick Brown...wtf are beleive that Patrick Brown

 

[JCRO]

Curious as to where Comtois lands. Feels like a guy that could really benefit from a fresh start and also had some development derailed by the pandemic. That goes for some other RFAs out there as well

 

[The don godfather]

Duchene for 3mil and O'Reilly for 4.5

We're fine with Coyle though... yeah.

The duchene deal blows my mind that guy is solid.

Bertuzzi the big chip left.

 

[JCRO]

That Jarry contract. Yikes.

 

[KrejciWinger]

I am scared of Swayman's number
