Tenacious Forward Cole Koepke a Surprise Addition to Bruins Lineup

It’s hard not to root for a player like Cole Koepke. Since the day he first entered Boston Bruins training camp, the 6-foot-1, 204-pound forward has had to rise to the occasion on a team full of giants. While it certainly hasn’t been easy, the Two Harbor, Minnesota native has gladly accepted the...

Looking at the overall construction it seems pretty flawed. Not saying it's not going to work, but just a few thoughts...

The forwards are super thin, especially since none of the kids stepped up and Matty P hurt.

The defense seems to be pretty expensive. 30 mil or so. All of the value of having an ELC deal on the 2nd pair is negated by almost 8 million on the 3rd pair.

Goalie wise, it's seems insane to have a 3 mil dollar backup to a guy you just gave 8+ million too but maybe they really thought they could get him under 7. Just odd

Would a guy like Arvidsson at 2 rw and Wotherspoon at 3LD be better than Geekie at 2RW and Z at 3LD?

I'm sure it will all work out as the season goes on, but it really doesn't seem like this was the finished product game one they imagined?

I wonder if Arviddson was interested he took a short term deal to play in Edmonton. Feels like maybe he wanted to play with McDavid and Draisaital.

Sure it was brought up many times but they still f***ed up, like it or not. People mess up but 3 picks in a row, come on.

Jeez dude if it takes you 10 years to move on from a couple botched draft picks I can't imagine how long you hold a grudge for

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Yeah they really whiffed on Pasta, McAvoy, Carlo, JDB, Swayman, Frederic etc etc

Broken clock

 

[PlayMakers]

They need a talent infusion. Poitras in. Maybe Tyler Johnson in. Koepke and Tufte out/down.

63-13-Geekie or 63-13-Johnson?

11-51-Brazeau or 11-51-Johnson?

I was not the one who originated the draft post and I was just responding to how good the scouting staff had done, but they still missed some very good players.

Time to move on as suggested by Gee Wally.

Always cracks me up when someone says their piece then leans on the “time to move on”
