Horrified? Why?
I think stumpel is only 50Let’s get Chris Drury and keep Merkulov down
I'm thinking it will take a Debrusk to land a Lindholm? So who replaces Debrusk? Merkulov?Marchand -Lindholm- DeBrusk
Not adverse if say Suter plays wing too. But really none of those guys are an upgrade to center depth. Just another one to add to hopeful pile.Did Don Godfather write this article? Why on earth would we need to sign any of those guys?
Same legit as Knight? Hehe, I’ll believe it when I see it. I think he is good, just not sure you’ll get a coach to bite on him between his top line in his first pro year. They don’t plan to rebuild which is why they went 1yr deal nuts on NHL roster guys.Ok I’m not the only one
Anyone who’s watched Merkulov in Providence knows this guy is legit
I’d put him between 63 and 74 see what you got
Waste of money at 31 and still barely gets to play is Ballsy for a different reason then yoursI like Brown- he’s kind of a prick and every coach loves him
Ballsy pickup
just wait for next year free agency to sign Lindholm, why trade assets for him now i dont see the point
we have squat in the system really and no draft capital. ride out the year and rebuild in pieces not by moving debrusk etc....
That's not a PO caliber C corp. Huge downgrades lines 1-3 even if u flip Geekie and Frederic. They took a hit on W also. Pucks is going to be in their end more than last year for certain.Hall is more of a top 6 guy than Zacha is throughout his career. He just ended up on one of the best regular season teams where they had the luxury of dropping him to third line.
Zacha is not some rookie he has been in the league since 2016. He is who he is. He couldnt be a top center in NJ either at the end before being traded he was on their third line. good complimentary player, but so far has failed to prove he is anymore than that. They'll give him a chance, but its a gamble. Its like the Smith gamble thinking he was a top 6 guy because he had a good few weeks on the first line. A full season will show if he can handle it.
NO chance Poitras is ready. That would put him in a position to fail. He needs time in Providence. Center is the hardest position for a NHLer to break into. Too much responsibility and they arent putting him over Coyle, Zacha, Frederic or Geekie. Barring trades, and Krejci, this is your center depth.
They were okay because Sinden saw the writing on the wall (that Orr's knee was cooked) and traded for Brad Park. Park at least filled the void for the most part even though he was no Orr, he got it done.They can do something.
Not sure what though.
I recall feeling the Bruins future was bleak when Orr didn't come back. But they were OK.
Sadly if Linholm is going to Boston very good chance DeBrusk is going the other way .I'm thinking it will take a Debrusk to land a Lindholm? So who replaces Debrusk? Merkulov?
You have a good memory. Sinden brought in Park and Cheevers 1975-76 along with Middleton and McNab in 1976-77. Totally turned the team around as without those 3They were okay because Sinden saw the writing on the wall (that Orr's knee was cooked) and traded for Brad Park. Park at least filled the void for the most part even though he was no Orr, he got it done.
Who is Sweeneys Brad Park?
Sadly if Linholm is going to Boston very good chance DeBrusk is going the other way .
If they can work something out around Lindolm and Hanifin I pull the trigger on that. You'll be competing with a lot of other teams in FA , odds aren't on your side.Keep Jake. Sign Lindholm next year.
Win/win
Pretty sure the Pastrnak family isn't going to have to worry about money again. He's paid enough to not care.Pasta probably thinking "how much money is actually enough money to be here for the next 7+"
How often do people say, Sign [insert UFA center that everyone wants] next year?Keep Jake. Sign Lindholm next year.
Win/win
Marchand -Lindholm- DeBrusk
Who's Calgary trading for Marchand and DeBrusk?
Waiting to sign Lindholm until UFA next year means your bidding against a bunch of other teams, and your also wasting another Marchand year and he's not getting younger.
Terrible idea
Not the only but , a significant reason whySpeaks volume they knew it way ahead free agency. Imo, that's the only reason they brought #17 back.
0.0 they are trading DeBruskI'm thinking it will take a Debrusk to land a Lindholm? So who replaces Debrusk? Merkulov?
Depends where you want to be weak I guess.0.0 they are trading DeBrusk
It’s like selling your car when you live 20 miles from work and your backup is a bicycle
Jake DeBrusk scored 37 goals last 82 games without prime time PP
The next best LW under 35 is Trent Frederic
The best LW in system is Lauko
Zero point zero
