After the Greer fight last night i'm all in for Looch. We have no tough guys. If the B's can work something out with the Flames at the deadline that would be fine with me. Looch's value shouldn't be that expensive plus he can be the 10th forward.

Too funny.

He is very affordable. Young. Wants to win. Chychurn is actually a very good add for any contender. After last nights loss to the bruins due to poor defensive coverage in front of the net I’m sure Toronto just called the yotes and offered them every draft pick they have left for the next three years.


I feel like Sweeney pioneered this move.

Yeah I don’t think the Bruins could or would win a bidding war for Chychrun but maybe they view Gavrikov or someone else as someone that could replace Gryz and Forbort’s spots at 5 on 5 and PK. I’m team *deal with it later unless you think it makes you better now* but who knows what they will do. We sure were not talking Lindholm last year for pages and pages before it happened.
 
1. Toewes with double retention is my #1 target with Smith/Reilly also going out
2. Tarasenko would be the homerun swing I'd go for if the Blues were sellers, would cost 1st +Lysell with retention
3. Schenn for Zboril

Marchy-Bergy-Debrusk
Zacha-Krejci-Pasta
Hall-Coyle-Tarasenko
Foligno-Toewes-Frederic

So now Jack Ahcan is your backup LHD? and you have Schenn and Strallman as the backups at RHD? Pretty shallow. I'd hate to move both Zboril and Reilly, and really don't want to move either

Toews easy, it will be harder to work out because of the cap hit, but ultimately I think the player will cost less than Oreilly. I also think Toews would actually do well in BOS, outside of a 2/3 year stretch (that unfortunately lined up with 2019) ROR is about as overrated a player that there is in the league.
Don't say that on the trade board. I called him broken down and regressing, and they defend him to the extreme and make constant excuses for his 16 points and -28
 
Yeah I want no part of ROR. From 2021 to this year he's fallen from 0.96 PPG and +26 to 0.43 PPG and -28
He had a nice 2021-2022 season (maybe due to Monty?)

He is having a slight dip in production. Still only 31

Would love to sign someone like Larkin in the offseason. But due to available cap/uncertainty.... wont be banking on it

Let me ask you. You rather have ROR or Barbachev? (Top 6 center)
 
Today’s Globe:

Anton Stralman, a onetime Leafs defenseman who signed with the Bruins in October and was then waived on Nov. 28, recently returned to play with AHL Providence.

According to team president Cam Neely, who accompanied the team here, the working plan is for Stralman to return to the varsity for added depth come playoff time.

Stralman played in only two games, and performed well, before being waived. He was waived, in part, because his $1 million cap hit could make it all the harder for the club to make deals as the March 3 trade deadline approaches.

Meanwhile, the Bruins could not risk demoting young backliner Jakub Zboril, for fear that placing him on waivers would be tantamount to giving him away to another NHL team without compensation.

Zboril, again on the sideline here, last suited up on Jan. 7, one of his two games since Nov. 13.
 
Didn’t Lindholm stink before we got him? Hall did. Zacha wasnt great. Why do we care about stats when they are on horrible teams?

He stood up and gave it a shot, you’re not going to win all the time and there is no shame in losing. He’s better than Lucic and I love Milan. He just seemed to fall off a cliff this season

Why do I feel that there is an unspoken agreement for this to be cleared up sooner.....like TDL.

I don’t like the rumors of Carolina looking at Larkin. The last thing they need is getting more speed up the middle. That would be very bad for Boston.

This season? Every year there’s always a couple that let nostalgia get in the way and want him back. Lucic is cooked and brings nothing the Bruins need. And at this point in his career he’s not going out there and dropping the mits every game sorry. Even his last year here people were saying he was slowing down, regressing etc. What you think he’s like a decade later? HARD PASS.

Lindholm's issue (according to many Ducks fans) is that he was tasked with helping Drysdale and it dragged him down. Hall was only a few years removed from winning MVP then put up 89p in 98gp before going to Buffalo (which was the worst part of his career). Zacha I can't say stunk, but maybe wasn't living up to the player NJD thought he be when they selected him 6th overall in 2015. Even still if you take his last 3yrs in NJD, he was playing at a 45pt pace.

Or a player in the mold of Looch that can play. Bruins need a deterrent for opposing goons that want to take a shot at a Bruins star player. They need to know if that occurs, there is a price to pay. The playoffs can get rough. Looch is still one scary mother******!

As much as I prefer having a player or two who play(s) that role, the shots won't stop. Lucic, Chara, McQuaid and Thornton weren't enough of a deterrent when Rome took out Horton. I'm not sure whether Rome even was taken to task on the ice by the Bruins since he didn't play again in the Cup Finals, and I believe he had a broken hand when the Canucks played the Bruins in 2012. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Does Canes have an infinity cap?

How can they afford Larkin?

I disagree, I thought we were talking Lindholm or Chychrun for pages and pages last year. We had people on Team Chychrun, people on Team Lindholm... Talks of Lindholm and Rakell coming here but Rakell nixed it. Talk of DeBrusk going the other way... Talk the Bruins would part with a 1st and Lysell for Chychrun...

Yeah at the end, but this early?
