I get that Beecher still playing is likely coming from up top because he was a first round pick, but my god is he useless.
Deal Law
I would love to QEF your PFIC
And so are Coyle and Frederic and Wotherspoon and Brown and Geekie and Brazeau and Zadorov and E. Lindholm and Carlo…

I liked Playmaker's comments on how the winning teams were actually built via trade and this GM just can't pull that move off.
Love for his talent? Blind goggles on?
Either way, this isn't a good team to watch or expect to win.
Swayman looks like Manny Fernandez out there.

Carlo makes 4 mil, that's not paid highly at all

no.
Any team would be very happy with Carlo @ 4.
But, will agree, he's been not very good this year

Enough already. Call up the smaller players who haven’t been given a f g real chance. Lysell Merk Kuntar.
I think it’s safe to say Frederick stinks! Always has stunk! Good luck finding anything of value. Probably would clear waivers.

How did Sweeney miss on Adam Gaudette & Ryan Donato ?
I can’t be the only one who 6 weeks ago thought these two would be on 40 goal paces
Write Trent Frederic name 1000 times

Well things are desperate but not that desperate. Bringing up heartless, talentless smurfs like Lysell and Markulov isn't going to happen. Kuntar has 3 assists and you would hate him after watching him. He's more than a little dirty and takes a lot of penalties, I would be fine with him getting a look.
Coyle, Carlo, Zacha. The players who are suppose to produce but aren't, that are soft and the head of the country club act need to go.
Very few guys have done much this year, including the players I like, I was expecting a ton more from Frederic, Swayman has been mediocre, McAvoy average. They need to make changes. That should start with Montgomery and one of the core players. Whatever trade they make should be for a Chara level leader, not another wimp.

I don’t know how you could watch Lysell and say he doesn’t have talent.
He also just straight up hasn’t gotten a chance with the Bruins…like what’s the harm in letting him get some games up top? The offense is pitiful right now and needs skilled forwards.
I can't believe how poorly this team has been constructed, from the beginning of the offseason until now.
1. We trade Ullmark- without Swayman signed and then get bent over the table in negotiations, he misses camp, and looks like the second coming of "The Hamburgler" right now. Oh yeah.....and we took on the soul of Korp for three more seasons as well.
2. We have three top 6 players- Pasta being the no doubt top 6. Marchy is aging and coming off three off-season surgeries and Lindholm has been regressing for years. I'm assuming they look at Zacha-Coyle and Poitras as top 6 players as well but they are far f***ing from it. Zacha I can make a case for, the other two, not even close.
3. Charlie McAvoy- the next coming of Ray Bourque......yeah no!!!!!! Overpaid, he's a very good #2 dman on most teams, don't give a f*** what anyone on this board says, he's not a true #1. He's got more holes in his game than swiss cheese.
4. The fact we can't score and have yet to give guys like Lysell and Merkulov a shot with the big club is a joke. I understand they're not exactly lighting it up in the AHL, but Lysell is our top prospect and has he even played an NHL regular season game? Jesus, give the guy a game or two, he can't be worse than Morgan f***in Geekie or Justin Brazeau.
5. Last but not least.......get that bald f*** from behind the bench outta Boston. I hate him as much as I hated Dave Lewis.......aka Hitler lookalike.

Yeah. And the worst thing is, every Leafs/Habs/Canucks fan Nostradumbass is going to be taking a dunk on the Bruins claiming they predicted this was going to happen, without revealing that they've predicted this was going to happen every season for the last 10 years.
You are asking too much of Sway, cannot play goal for the Boston Bruins, and "set the market for goaltenders" that is a heavy lift you are asking for.
They are not all put out there for offense, but you style of play calls for it I, guess, especially when it gives a chance to take a shot at a player that you hate.
Let me add #6 before you implement any of the first 4. Tweak #5 by adding Sweeney to that list, and #6 should be put in motion first.
I haven't gotten my chance yet either, could it be it is because I suck.

I don't know a whole lot about systems, X's and O's but to me, it's got to be that the system doesn't fit the roster.
I mean --- was JDB that good?
They replaced him with Lindholm -- different skillset -- different positions but we're not talking replacing Mitch Marner with Charlie Coyle.
JVR?, Shattenkirk, Boqvist, Gryz?
On paper this team should wipe the floor with last year's --- but they're playing terrible.
Maybe they need more time to jell, but how much more time can they afford to wait without doing something?
