Boston Bruins 2026 Offseason Roster & Salary Cap Thread VIII

[Bruin4]

All that is, Sweeney sending Kyper a storyline, in a last minute attempt to be invited to join the other 31 GM group text before the draft.

They just won the cup with Anderson and Bussi why the hell would they be going after Hellebuyck.

 

[GloveSave1]

Lots of talk about Running it Back. That would take a lot of work from DS just to get there at this point. Maybe that’s a good thing.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Sturms got Jochen Hecht on the horn right now for a bottom 6 role.

Miro the Hero!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Get 'em, Court!

All that’s is, Sweeney sending Kyper a storyline, in a last minute attempt to be invited to join the other 31 GM group text before the draft.

IMO Sweeney doesn’t leak info to insiders. He has a reputation of keeping his cards close to the vest

Winners are always looking for ways to keep winning. Losers just run it back, after losing

This butter chicken is not sitting well right now. Hopefully it’s not a sign of things to come.

We’ve gotten worse every year," Adam Oates said during a February 1997 road trip. "The guys upstairs, they’re not doing their jobs. I don’t know if the owner is telling Harry [Sinden] he can’t spend money, or if it’s Harry’s own decision. All I know is we’ve gotten worse ever since I’ve been here. You can’t blame anybody except [management]. Look in the mirror. It starts at the top. We’re not good enough. It’s not coaching. It’s personnel. It starts upstairs."

"You go on a [road] trip and everyone says it's a big trip. For what? So we can win five games because we're lousy and we get in the eighth spot and lose four straight and get embarrassed and then get shelled all summer? It's upstairs, baby. That's their job, not ours… Are we rebuilding? What are we doing? What direction are we going in?"

Man, Oates was on that ‘97 team?! Forgot that. Figured they had nobody. God, I feel bad for him. Not surprised it drove him to get that heated.

 

[Sheppy]

Give me an AHL trade or something at this point. I just want confirmation our GM hasn’t croaked in a ditch somewhere.

Brandon Saad, pack your f***ing shit. You’re a Boston Bruin!

Doesn’t it feel like Hertl’s time has finally arrived? Heh. Seems like he’s been linked to Boston for a decade.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

and then you positioned it as though it was about Hathaway alone when it was very clearly about the aggregate direction of that club

Ok

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Brandon Saad, pack your f***ing shit. You’re a Boston Bruin!

Best part about July 1 is when the Bruins sign someone nobody has brought up in 25 threads has the same people that love everything love it and the same people that hate everything hate it

@Oates2Neely You're batting 1.000... except for that time you called Mitts a JAG.

He is a JAG

NP just ditto it!

 

[Clode]

Sweens is on the phone with Lee Stempniak as we speak

 

[McGarnagle]

Man, Oates was on that ‘97 team?! Forgot that. Figured they had nobody. God, I feel bad for him. Not surprised it drove him to get that heated.

He got traded like a week after that rant, but refused to report to Washington for another few days until they threw in some extra money.on his contract.

Well worth it too! He remained a PPG player with Washington for 6 years from age 34 to 40

Until he makes a move where you wish you could go back to this very moment when no moves had been made

 

[Wilhelm Scream]

Maybe something could maybe happen? The Bruins are still technically one of the other teams in the NHL.
