I really hope Sweeney was actively shopping him at the deadline. If he wasn’t, that’s an absolute failure. Anyone could see the chances of Jake coming back here next season was a long shot.

Would it be wild to think the Bs may walk away with two of the big name centers on the market instead of 1 C and 1 W ?

(Lindholm, Stephenson, Monahan)

You’re probably looking at
Zacha-Lindholm-Pasta
Marchand-Monahan-Poitras
Frederic-Coyle-Geekie
Beecher-Kastelic-Brazeau
Lauko?

Saw someone mention Lindholm/Monahan played together in CGY as well. Forgot about that

I think it would be weird and wild. I don't like Poitras at RW and really don't want to take the massive gamble on Monahan staying healthy for 4/5 years

 

[Fenian24]

petrifying he said he's still talking to Danton and one other UFA.... Could it be Gryz???

Of course it's Grizz, Sweeney is an idiot so of course it's Grizz

 

[Tbaybruin]

His 27 points in 40 playoff games I like.

 

[pucksindeep92]

My bottom 6 could be if I had to

Frederic- Coyle - Geekie
Beecher - Kastelic- Brazeau

That’s huge

Yea, we got that THUMP

 

[JAD]

I'm fine with Lindholm. But I would love for the to also aquire an offensive-minded play-making center ... doesn't have to be a big name but maybe someone who is on the threshold of breaking out but has been buried in another system. We need a center that has creativity and thread the needle passing ability. Get those two and fill in the rest of the team from there.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

if Gryz somehow gets another contract from the B’s it’s gonna be hilarious to watch the gymnastics to support it.

 

[TSBruins13]

Sign Zadina for cheap and hope he finds his game with the help of Pasta.

You have one in Providence. Does that help you in the playoffs when he’s getting pounded?

 

[bruinmann77]

i really hope its not Gryz but man i still can't believe they didn't move Jake and just watch him walk away.

As happy as that makes me to read……I’ve had PTSD over such proclamations since Colleen P. told me she was “pretty sure” she’d go to the junior prom with me in 1987.

(Apparently her sources were incorrect)

She went with me. And we had a blast.

 

[sarge88]

She went with me. And we had a blast.

My claim to fame in town is that I went to my senior prom and dated for a short time a girl who went on to be a Patriots cheerleader.

Google: Matthew Poitras

Does NOT sound like heinen is a sure thing. Not sure how Murphy felt otherwise

Sounds like center and defense top two spots they want to fill. Top 4 LD

Q: Where do things stand with Danton Heinen and those negotiations, if at all?

A: I had a meeting with Al Roy his agent this week, we've been in close contact with Al, you get closer to July 1 you know that other teams have recognized and acknowledged what Danton did for us this current year, so it always factors in and in a perfect world you get Danton back because of the versatility and the quality of the person and what he brought to our hockey club, (shrug) there's other areas that we're trying to target in our free agency period so, to be determined on that front.

I don't know how he could take anything from that other than, we like Heinen but we have other priorities and he might've earned more than we have to give.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Nothing against Pete, but I dont think he means to insinuate he knows something we don't. I think he is just making a fans guess.

 

[Zillah]

He sucks.

He doesn’t suck but I don’t want to see 3 third lines again next season that’s for sure

 

[bruinmann77]

i have a feeling it be bertuzzi

Makes me feel a little better. Still rather hear….”he’s not in our plans”.

But I’ll take any small win I can get today.

 

[DKH]

Craig Oster agent for both EL & B Dillon

Did Sweens get both ?

is there a legal tampering period in the NHL? I honestly can’t remember. I know the NFL has one, not sure about the NHL

DeBrusk 99.9 % has a deal in place if not Boston

These agents and front office guys all know

DeBrusk will announce deal at 12:15 Monday and it didn’t come together at 12

Can’t shop him because ‘he gone’

The question is where ?

Calgary
Toronto
Chicago
Utah
Edmonton
Other

Toronto would be so ballsy

Calgary just moved Mangiapane so DeBrusk's chances of signing there have increased.

Yup - it’s like we like him but if he can set himself up God Bless him - we got other things (Sprong? Mantha ?)

 

[NDiesel]

TT is an interesting idea. Not sure the cost, but he has performed at a high lev In the past. Thoughts on the contract value?

I am truly awful at guessing ufa contracts but id venture something like 5.5 to 6.5 per year for about 4 or 5 years?

His agent is from Alberta and has two major clients

DeBrusk & RNH

If I was him being a sleeze I’d want Jake in Calgary so I can go to both teams games see my boys- go out to eat, hand with Louie etc
