With the Summer solstice Thursday I hope Sweeney uses the extra daylight to get a couple of guys who can knock the daylights out of the panthers

Dakota Joshua
Zadanov

Go get the Canucks guys Donny

We need to be tougher

Who’s the three tougher ?

Fighting? Or if interrogated by Cold War CIA would crack 4th on Bruins ?

Neither.

Ability to withstand cold temps.

I heard Lauko’s “hot tub” was set to 31 degrees and he ladled snow balls over the ice blocks in his “sauna”.

Kiefer Sherwood, Brendan Dillon and bring back Maroon. Would love Joshua and Zadarov here. Put Zadarov with McAvoy.

Still need to get scoring
Lindholm and Stamkos.

fNever said that you're out of lone, I said that you're assuming a Hell of a lot.
" Marchand, Lohrei, Ullmark, Frederic, Geekie, Brazzers, Beecher, Lauko , Wotherspoon, and Brown moving out."

Really, you expect all of that list to be "Moving out?"

That is assuming a lot.
Mate, their contracts move out. That money is no longer tied to us. Considering the second half of the post talks about said players and their next contracts/futures/enough context clues to eliminate the assumption you made after reading one sentence

So does Guentzel want to sign here if they give him 9 M?

Is Boston his preference? Is so great news

Yup that is the problem/question. Does Guentzel have any interest in being a Bruin. And you won't really know for Sure until July 1. After you've lost the sole negotiating window with jake.

Everyone said Gryz could replace Krug yet he's been at best a 3rd pair/7th D caliber player when it matters most. Krug brought PP skill and actually played tough. He wasn't a weak pushover like Gryz who I'm glad will never wear this jersey again

I don't know that anyone ever said that. Other than being similar in height they were never similar in any way as players. Even physically Krug was 15-20 pounds heavier (he was just a tank). Gry was better defensively, and on the breakout, and Krug was always MUCH, MUCH better offensively

in terms of bringing Krug home. I don't do it because he was good here before. If I do it , it is because the pro scouts think he can still play in a more limited role. He was bad this year, but Krug was asked to play 22 min a game . Would he be more successful with some nights off, and playing 15 min a game not 22?

Love what you say but Maroon is so done. Can’t keep up. Killed us this post Season Ya the first goal vs Tor was good on him. But he’s done for me

Laine is done. People want to win a cup with players who don’t preform in the playoffs. You win with players who will do what ever it takes to win. No fights in the playoffs. Heart, heart, and heart. Size doesn’t matter heart does. Don’t get me wrong I want big strong guys but they need heart. Guys like Bennet are gold.

Why would they "move that money out" FFS. So you want to rid the team of all of those players just to have "$50 million" in cap space?
Maybe you're right, I can't get past this sentence:
"we have Marchand, Lohrei, Ullmark, Frederic, Geekie, Brazzers, Beecher, Lauko , Wotherspoon, and Brown moving out. "
It isn't going to happen IMO. I'm trying to follow the rest of your post but
maybe I just can't get past that sentence.

We both know I havent the slightest clue if he wants to be here lol. I would however like them to make a real effort to find out though. I doubt it is in the DNA of Sweeney to pay him the money though.

Depth D. Unless you want to have to call up Mitchell, which I don't. I don't think anybody's suggesting making him part of the starting 6.

He scored nearly 40 points last year. How cheap do you think he's going to be exactly? Doubtful he's signing anywhere to be a spare part or willing to sign a cheap enough contract to justify him being a spare part.

Ian Mitchell is an RFA with arbitration rights I doubt he's even qualified.

Sweeney has the DNA believe me - I don’t get this narrative on HFB but I don’t get people watching rhe news and telling me what I did for a living didn’t really happen because someone said it on a newscast

It’s like people here saying Carlo is soft or the Bruins but actual competitors and coaches say the opposite

Donny is an assassin

Lindholm & Dillon same agent - also Carlo’s

Donny gonna burn some cash

Lindholm deep dive over weekend looks like perfect fit to play in this system and with Pastrnak

He’s definitely got the game they want

As a Fantasy player I’m not touching but in reality looks like what they need

The same odds the Broons will win the Cup tonight as Stamkos signing with Bruins

last Bruins draft party was 2017

Something is up folks 👀
Yeah the opened the garden and charged for the Celtics and figured out they can make money off the draft as well. If the could simulcast the Westminster Dog show and make some money they would do that as well.

We need to be faster to beat the Canes. We need to be tougher to beat Florida. I think we can beat the rest in the list right now and definitely with good additions.

I think its really 50\50 with all those teams after Florida and I would think several of them have enough money to add players to address their own weaknesses. Its likely
Boston will face one of Florida, TB or Toronto come PO and the last two would be a coinflip.
