How are you deciding who the best player available is? The Bruins will pick who they think the best player available is - what will you use to decide who the BPA really is?

Ty Anderson should stick to talking hockey with Felger, what a clown to even give this air time
He must be having a trash Bruins segment coming this weekend

The way its worded makes me think there was an alternative deal with Boston that had no Korpisalo.
I am also curious what that looked like.
We would need a goalie back, so McAvoy + Swayman + Beecher for Draisaitl+ Bouchard + Skinner.

I'm expecting Papa Smurf Grizz back at 4M a year for 5 years.
Well the deal for a signed Ullmark was Chychrun right? they planned to get rid of the goalie, when the deal with an extension fell apart Sweeny agreed to take the goalie.
I mean Im more saying agreed to get taken to the cleaners but I digress.
I assume at a minimum 12 was going back to Ottawa, possibly additional players based on what the rumors were

I don't understand why so many people are for bringing Heinen back. Where does he play? He shouldn't sniff the top 6, if he does,well that just means you aren't good enough in that department again.
He's not a 4th liner(especially at some of the ridiculous $$ I see some suggesting) So that leaves the 3rd line and Poitras should get every chance to make this team and not have the likes of a Danton Heinen blocking a spot because he needs to be there to justify his new contract.
Sweeney has already made one stupid move early in this off-season, hopefully he doesn't make it 2 on a guy this team doesn't need. I don't mind the player he's just not the type of guy this team needs, and with more money tied up in goaltending this season they're gonna need every last available dollar to fill out this lineup with guys they really need.

I really like him as a versatile Swiss Army knife that can indeed score and play in top 6 when needed, but can only imagine him getting signed at 2.25+ if it’s to fill a spot from someone we are moving.

Sure he's fine to fill in there because of injuries or whatever but he shouldn't be a mainstay. If they plan on moving Geekie or Frederic ( both I still prefer over Heinen) then he's a fine fall back option but until then I'd rather he moved on to somewhere else.
Yes dont be suprised if Grez is back at 4milx4, Heinen 4milx 4, Sway 8milx7 call it a summer after getting Korpisalo and Kestalic...dont forget Forbort maybe at 1.5milx3

To me he’s the bellweather for whether they are serious about contending, for the exact reasons you mention.
If he’s on line 1, 2, or 3 they aren’t good enough to sniff a cup, because it means they didn’t improve the top 6 enough to ensure that line three consists of 3 out of Coyle, Poitras, Geekie, Frederic.
Their shot at contention lies in their ability to add two difference making forwards to the top 6, while providing a third line that is going win their matchup most nights.
They can win a cup with:
Pasta, Zacha, Marchand, one of Lindholm, Stephenson, Monahan, one of Kane, Tarasenko, and Geekie or Frederic in the top 6.
Geekie/Frederic, Coyle or Poitras on line 3.
Beecher, Lauko, Kastelic, possibly Boqvist (who will probably be cheaper than Heinen) or maybe Kuntar on line 4.
Screw the plays up and down the lineup garbage. Unless he wants to be here for 1.5-1.75, which he probably won’t…he’s not worth it.
Especially with the Korpisalo disaster, you can’t spend 2.75 or more on a guy who’s best skill is that “he won’t hurt you too bad if he needs to fill in for someone better”.
Among everyone I placed in the above lineup, he’s only better than a few guys in the bottom 6……but all of them make less and are already signed (or will make less in the case of Boqvist).
He’s entirely Unnecessary.
Edit…..I forgot about another signed guy and better value in Brazeau.

Where's the hole going to be? Unless someone is getting moved out there shouldn't be a hole that Heinen should fill

Did Sweeney comment on how he managed to **** up the Ullmark deal yet?
