@PlayMakers : I would love to see Frankie V return. I never thought the Bruins should have moved on from him in the first place. Is this just wishful thinking or is Vatrano available?

More wishful thinking.

I was looking for top6 players that we could afford to add. Vatrano only makes $3.6m and is a UFA at the end of the year so at 50% they'd only be retaining a pro-rated $1.8m, and that means he'd cost less than Geekie.

That, and Anaheim always seems to sell off their UFA's at the deadline and the Bruins have a history of trading with them.

bruins have a lot of the same type of guy up front. time to either call up lysell or look for a more skilled guy for the top 6. easier said than done on the trade market, especially in october.

i think geekie is a solid player, but would rather see him replaced by a guy that can create his
own offense. JMO.

As much as I like Debrusk losing him didn’t magically make the team this bad. They look slow out of place and disinterested as a whole (especially the d). I think it’s time to move on from Montgomery before trading assets.

Yep. Thats been their history in tough times.

1- sign Johson , call up Lysell

2 - if not better, make a trade.

3- still not right, fire the coach

I’d swap 2 and 3. Outside the 4th line I don’t think anyone is performing where could be. We’d also be selling low on someone because of our cap situation and the majority of the players current performance. I don’t see who you could trade for fair value at this point

Monty has no extension in place. His contract is up at season's end. I know its still early but it appears he has lost the room. Quenneville sitting there waiting for an opportunity to get back in. He would be my choice.

That being said, looking at this roster and good lord. Aside from Pastrnak, where is the offence going to come from. Marchand looks 300 years old out there as he's been beyond awful. During the broadcast you don't hear E. Lindholm's name often, which is very concerning.

Coyle isn't a 2nd line player in the NHL. Geekie isn't even a 3rd line player in the NHL. Frederic? You alive?

Moving on to the d-corp. I am convinced McAvoy requires laser eye surgery. He's been garbage this year. H. Lindholm has been decent I suppose. Zadorov? Woah. Carlo? Another Woah!

Something needs to change. Hopefully they wake up and I can rip my own post in a week or two from now but what are we watching??

Also, Judd need to stop saying 'cage' Has a good voice but he's been underwhelming as the new voice of the Bruins.

I can't imagine the Bruins being the team to bring back Quenneville after the Mitch Miller fiasco.
