Thank you Don

Wahlstrom a high 1st rounder

Both are scorers.

Let’s see how the right shot mini one on one Goat does away from Lou Lamorello stuck in the pre British invasion era does
Looking forward to watching him. Any chance he slots in tonight? I take it Braz is most likely candidate to sit. Which sucks.

I’m very excited to see what Wahlstrom can do. He seems like a great addition. Hopefully, there’s a subtraction or two in the form of McLaughlin and Johnson. I know McLaughlin has scored a couple, but he hasn’t suddenly become Mike Bossy and Johnson just quite simply sucks.

Yeah, there's a 15 game stretch leading up to that break and 9 of them are WPG, VGK, FLA level teams, and 2 are against OTT who's battling us for a WC slot.

When they come back from the break there are only 7 games before the trade deadline. If they don't get help before that 15 game stretch, it may be too late.
Ottawa and Linus, and you know he has those days written on his calendar.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the eight teams who are in a playoff spot Today are there at the end of the season. IMO Pitt and the NYR will have the most to say about it, but it is lining up to be a year where an addition sooner than later could be the difference of a playoff birth or looking for your golf clubs.

Start a bidding war for Frederic and get a haul.

Extend Geekie since he provides the same amount of offense, but won't have an inflated contract.

Just need one of Poitras/Lysell/Wahlstrom to match Frederic's production.
Fredric is way better than Geekie. Look how fast Fredric skates. He is a lot better at carrying the puck too. He hits more. He fights. He started the season slow but he is starting to get his legs finally. Not that im
opposed to trading him for the right deal. I just don’t see Geekie as his replacement. Geekie so my good quality is his shot.

On what team?
Kakko is a pretty good defensive forward but he really hasn’t been able to create a lot of offence. So I’d say he is probably a third line player when the dust settles. He is still young though. We shall see.

Poitras 7 games with a goal

Greg Sheppard type of player

I see him more as a DK type of player in the NHL, but you never know. A 30g 40a might be him. I also don't want the Bruins to rush him back. He can play in the NHL as is, but he always has looked a little out of place physically and he has gotten rocked a ton. I'd like to see him really grow into some mature strength before subjecting him to NHL punishment again. He is too good a prospect for us to take unnecessary chances with.

I see it the opposite way but we all see things differently. The only thing I’m not certain about are hits.

Yup the AHL was the necessary step he didn’t have

he may not like it but he’s experiencing different life from players, conditions- making life long friends he would never have

I guarantee you Matt Poitras will meet someone because of this who will be a friend forever

I’m good with 40 AHL games if the Bruins can keep chugging

He’s a long term answer we need him in that top 9

Disagree. Complete opposite.

When does Freddy ever carry the puck?

I'm more interested to see what kind of facial hair he can grow
