Kreider makes more of an impact than prime Bergeron? I'll have what your smoking.

Why am I quoted in that statement?

Have no idea what happened but it was obviously a response to Ozzy.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Watch Carlo play. Zero offence and awful on the D. No way to defend this guy. Needs to go

I didn’t notice that it was “prime” Bergeron. What’s going back in time all about? I’m living in the present. I’ll trade you what I’m smoking for your Time Machine.

You made a statement Kreider was more impactful than Bergeron. Kreider has never
been more impactful than Bergeron.

You lost me with the time traveling/ prime Bergeron therefore I’m done with this.

4.1 mill for the next 3 years. WOOT

Oh, and a 10 team no-trade list.

 

[Gordoff]

I don't know how, I don't know for whom but this team needs a big shake up trade. Sinden was an artist at them, pulling them off at the right time.
DS needs to follow up on the coaching change and figure out who to target and how to get them, ASAP.

I want DS to do nothing but trim the roster

 

[BruinDust]

I just want Trent Frederic gone. I don't care what the return is. Get the F%&$ off my favorite hockey team.

He is the least of the problems since he is a UFA after this season. So even if he continues to have a bad year they can part ways at the end. It’s players like Lindholm that you need to worry about. High salary on a lengthy contract and producing very little offensively. Not even close to the worth of his contract. That’s a much bigger concern cause we are stuck with him

 

[ae530]

Also and a very overpaid sieve starting goaltender

Still surprised folk here were okay paying unproven goalie up to $10 mil. Especially a goalie that went public as he did. Crazyville. Im more surprised Sweeney gave him the contract. Totally blowhard Neely influenced.

Guy has had too many poor games this year. Wanted him traded for Michael Kesselring early in the season but guaranteed that ship has sailed.

Bergeron comments have little to do with each other. Pay attention Ozzy.

Prime Bergeron, means #37 at age 27 , not age 38 to compete for Cup with that having little to do with Kreider.

My response on I'll have what your smoking is strictly a response to your ridiculous Kreider vs Bergeron impact statement.

Though not impossible it is so harder to do now. Near beginning of year I wanted
#25 traded for Michael Kesselring, no chance now. I also floated McAvoy for Schneider, Kreider and NYR '25 #1 before Trouba trade. Carlo and McAvoy absolutely have not been delivering at their pay grade for a year and IMO won't going forward.

Really don't GAF what people think about it, McAvoy is just going to continue trending down the list of top 40 NHL defensemen. Right now playing at a level outside top 30
and will continue downward.

Not that I don't know who Kesselring is.Really don't GAF what people think about it, McAvoy is just going to continue trending down the list of top 40 NHL defensemen. Right now playing at a level outside top 30
and will continue downward.

I don't know who Kesserlring but I have an open mind to trades like this. Of course, it's not my job, and not my risk of being fired.
Not so sure that McAvoy will continue to "trend down" or even stagnate
but I admit, it's not looking too promising.
Defensemen usually peak in their late 20's- early 30's.
He's only 26 right now and while I completely agree that he should be better in a couple of aspects of the game, that he's still not in that defensemen sweet spot.
I also can't say that I think he's going to improve leaps and bounds in the next 2-3 years.
One thing I can say is that I really doubt that DS will be making any big trades that include (what he considers) his top players, especially not the ones that he drafted, it's not in his M.O.

I hear you and your right about the trades but I believe that Bergeron propped up McAvoy to the degree he was considered a sure thing top 10 Dman. He isn't a top 10, more 20-30 right now.

No ,you part ways before then and get assets back .Bad buisness letting players walk for nothing.

Didn't the last CBA allow one buyout to not count against the cap? If that's the case
with the next one, he should be the one to buyout.

He will be 27 in a couple of weeks.

Donny unfortunately is no Harry. I think his plan is to ride it out to the deadline and decide what direction he chooses to go in from there.

 

[BamBamCam]

Makes sense Bowman had him in Chicago

 

[PlayMakers]

Oh man that sucks. I thought he had a future in Boston. The injury screwed up his transition timeline.

Dude was a horse last season and really was trending up till that injury
Good for him though,getting that NHL paycheck
