They won’t be able to move Mittelstadt or Lindholm so in your scenario I’m hoping all four stay or Geekie would be the odd man out.

Not sure why they would move any or want to unless folks want a Buffalo 14 year run of suckage

Hoping Geekie would be odd man out ?

What is going on lol

You do need coffee. Reread my post.

IF, as the poster says “three need to stay”. Two are unmovable so it’s between Zacha or Geekie going in their scenario.

I’d jettison both Lindholm and Mittelstadt into the sun.

Geekie needs to be signed tomorrow if I had my way.

Yeah, maybe Misa makes it right away, but still wouldn't bet on him coming in and being number 1 center right away. Hagens might make it right away, but almost certainly in a lesser role, but may be better off doing another year in college. Frondell might be able to contribute, but more likely as a 3rd line winger not a top center, and do you want to do that?

Misa I think would easily slot in, but yea I agree maybe not right off as your #1. He is a game breaker who plays in all situations,so whoever gets him is getting a future number one for sure, imo.

Hagens I see as at least a year away and it will be great for his development. Really interested to see how he does at BC next year with Leonard and Perreault now gone, He'll be the big dog, him and Stiga. Im expecting huge growth from his freshman year even without Leonard and Perreault flanking his sides.

In order to get either player for the Bruins, I think they would need to win one of the lotterys and get either the 1st or 2nd pick to get either player. A wild guess is Hagens wouldn't get by Nashville (unless they win the Lottery) as they already have Stiga, and the two of them have had great chemistry together from their days with the USA programs and Im sure they've seen a ton of him.

I would keep all four. You need some depth if you want to go far in the playoffs. However, I would only play 3 of them in the top 6.

Lindholm and Middlestat gobbling up 13.5 million in cap sucks but the fact this team is not that good at moment kind of lessens the blow a bit .I think this franchise is at a point where making playoffs is the thought again not going far.Myself,I just want to start building the talent pool up again .

I would not give up on Mittelstadt, he will be fine with better wingers to capitalize on his great passing.

He was very good last night against a big physical lineup

Agreed. My first reaction is to “fix” things on the current roster for next season. My second reaction is to leave it while we rebuild. What’s a bad contract or a 3rd line center on the 1st line if you don’t have the team to go deep anyways?

Geekie is playing with Pasta. I’m sure you’d like either of the other two if they played on his line.

What was his excuse in Colorado? Sorry but I'm not sold on this kid at all. Hoping to be proven wrong but I will not be excited about him until he starts to show something besides flashes. Flashes are great but it has to show up on the scoreboard.

I agree, But Im willing to see him into next season before I write him off.

Agreed you take Geek away from Pasta and his goal totals drop drastically, Remember Warren Young?

He has to be in the conversation for the CY Young award. 27-17, Last night two helpers may hurt his chances though.

Nevertheless he's been a bright spot in a very gloomy year, if not just for his pure relentlessness most games.

Só ten games in your cutting bait from that trade. He doesn’t even get a year with this shit show of offensively lacking offense?

I cut bait before he came here. This is a player I was hoping they'd avoid. But yes, let's pair him with Pasta, they didn't try that in Colo......

Mittelstadt’s most frequent forward teammate at even strength is Mikko Rantanen and they are generating 36% of the expected goal share together. Results with the second most common linemate Valeri Nichushkin aren’t much better with 42% expected goals together. Forcing this type of second-line combination isn’t working and with the team’s two best wingers. Milehighhockey.com

The kid has skill, but he's the classic "has tools just no toolbox" kind of player.

Until he shows me otherwise, so far he's been EXACTLY as advertised. To quote Dennis Green "they are, who we thought they were."
 
Can some GIF Don’s face in place of Pitts’ face complete with smoke burning and optional cocktail?

The Bruins’ slide is execution of a perfect plan

Don Sweeney was brave, but could the Boston Bruins’ slide turn into a top prospect and quick re-tool?
www.dailyfaceoff.com www.dailyfaceoff.com


Seravalli: The Boston Bruins are dead last in the Eastern Conference. You could say that’s good news for the Buffalo Sabres, but Colby, I will throw this at you – the Bruins have done the trade deadline right. Rip the Band-Aid off, and trade away five pieces from your team, including Brad Marchand.
They’re 2-8-1 since March 7, which was NHL Trade Deadline day, which has put them in line, depending on how the lottery ping-pong balls shake out, for a top-five pick…this is how you do it. If you’re not going to make the playoffs, don’t linger.

Cohen: 100%, and they’re not going to tear down fully. They’re not going to trade Charlie McAvoy and David Pasternak this summer; that’s just not going to happen, and you’ve got Jeremy Swayman, so now they have their core pieces. You’re right. Why not get a top-five pick? They do not have a deep prospect pool. Whoever they draft this year will automatically be their top prospect.

I give Don Sweeney credit for doing something incredibly unpopular and trading Brad Marchand. I think he will play and play enough games [for the Florida Panthers], so this ends up a first-round pick for [the Bruins]. At the end of the day, if there’s one person I’m disappointed for, it’s Joe Sacco. He’s a guy that I played for in the NHL, he’s a guy that I respect and a guy that I like a lot as a human being off the ice. I would have liked to have potentially seen him have an NHL roster, not a half NHL, or maybe quarter NHL roster, just to see if: ‘Hey, listen, here’s your opportunity to be a head coach again, right?’
