Bertuzzi disappeared for almost 3 months last year and survived.
Wait until we play them in the playoffs.....I'm going to feel very conflicted next year when we play Ottawa and it's Sway vs Linus lol
No more goalie hug
Salary question.... probably Dom territory...
If Ottawa retains, to pick a random number 50 percent, can we buy out kopisalo, and how does that work with buying out a player on retention?

i don’t think Bertuzzi is smart enough to process negativity. Debrusk may be too smart

It also doesn't seem to affect him. He seems more aloof than Jake, which I never thought possible

I just got done talking about him. He made the difference. Great trade for them. I wanted him.

Trade you. I've recharged my phone 3 times today.Screw Staios, he gets paid for that. The pressure is absolutely killing me, and no one is willing to give me a dime! It’s really unfair if you ask me.
Dom’s posts have me hitting refresh so often I am getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and may have to be LTIR’d.
And by the way, even if things fall through, this HF Sponsorship is worth every single penny!
There is no pressure on Staios. He and Andlauer go back. Staios is patient, knows how to build a winner and does very well in trade negotiations. I kind of hoped he would join the Bruins organization but when Andlauer bought the Sens, everyone knew Staios would be joining him there.

I’m shitty at this stuff.
What I think:
B’s need help at C.
B’s would benefit from an offensive Dman assuming Lohrei is not fully ready for prime time (I’m high on him, but no need to rush him).
B’s need to restock draft picks.
B’s are wise to try and move Linus as Swayman is the guy. Linus is a valuable asset and $5M out is $5M that can be used for above.
Linus has a NTC and is clearly looking for an extension which is always complex even without added challenge of managing a trade.
Appears at very least one team has real interest in Linus (keep in mind location and extension complexity)
Bruins have good Cap room to sign FA’s beginning July 1 - but so do a fair amount of teams.
Money teams could use for Linus extension will start to be spent on July 1.
Draft is in 6 days.
Looks like a decent likelihood that JDB doesn’t re-up with Boston meaning we will be less potent on O prior to any trades/FA adds.
I expect we’d all be disappointed, but if we go into season with best goalie tandem in League for another year there are worse things.
If so, we could always flip Linus at TDL but NTC still an issue (less one team)
If we keep Linus and cannot trade him at TDL, strong likelihood he walks for nothing.
Bottom line is I cannot even begin to imagine the complexities involved in all of this. Donny is clearly working hard and on paper has a fairly large opportunity to try to do something interesting.
That said I have no idea what will happen. Much less try to figure out what is fair/best return for Linus if trade can be managed considering all of above.
It’s why I am grateful Dom and others are giving some insight into some of what is going on/might be being discussed but in all fairness cannot ask anyone to give me an ironclad prediction — despite how much we would all love that.
What I know:
This isn’t armchair GM stuff where we on HF can throw shit together using CapGeek and figure out all the angles. It’s got to be INTENSE.
Sponsorship + dark mode on a mobile device is great. Just my preference.Screw Staios, he gets paid for that. The pressure is absolutely killing me, and no one is willing to give me a dime! It’s really unfair if you ask me.

With the NHL Draft set to begin this Friday, followed by the July 1st free agent frenzy, NHL rumours are very much in season. It's also the season for weddings and engagements across the NHL.
Ottawa Senators defenceman Jakob Chychrun found himself fully immersed in both seasons this week.
Chychrun's hockey future remained a hot topic of discussion across the league this week, connected to trade rumours out of Philadelphia and Boston. The 26-year-old is entering the final year of his contract, and at the team's year-end media availability, Chychrun expressed uncertainty when asked if he saw himself playing here for the next few years.
"It's a tough question," Chychrun told the media. "I mean, I don't know. I honestly have not thought about that. I know I have one more year left, and like I said, there haven't even been talks of an extension or anything. So I haven't really gotten my head wrapped around that idea."
Reading the tea leaves, Chychrun's assertion that he hadn't thought about things after next season made it sound like either he or the team may be having doubts about an extension and a long-term relationship.
But on the homefront, there were no such doubts this week when Chychrun took a knee to propose to his girlfriend, Olivia. Chychrun had given plenty of thought to a long-term deal in that relationship.
Chychrun posted photos of the moment on his Instagram page, and it appears that he invited both families to surprise Olivia and congratulate the happy couple right after the proposal's acceptance.
With Chychrun's personal life moving forward, the focus will quickly shift back to his professional life for the next few weeks. Will he and the Senators find common ground and eventually talk about an extension this summer? Or, as the current rumours seem to indicate, are they headed for a parting of the ways?

Bertuzzi has thicker skin than JDB

That spaced out look on Bertuzzi's face reminds me of guys I knew in high school who came in to math class after smoking a doobie.

Bertuzzi is equally the best and worst parts of Spicoli and i don’t even care I want him to be a bruin, felt he fit the group really well even with the very visible cracks in his overall game.

I think Bertuzzi likes Toronto. Legal reasons.
