24 Hours From Tulsa - All Bruins Trade Rumors/Proposals - MOD WARNING IN OP

[Shaun]

Loui gets hurt tonight walks during the offseason and I drink myself to dearh

 

[Absurdity]

We didn't really learn anything from that press conference so...

 

[bob27]

5.25 for 4 years would be absolute highway robbery for the Bruins.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Rinaldo will play tonight.

 

[Hali33]

...feeling less optimistic.

 

[NinthSpoke06]

If Loui Eriksson gets hurt tonight cause the team is too stubborn to hold him out of 1 game....I'm going to go on a rampage.

Unreal.

 

[TCL40]

"Get Duncan Keith"

I'm all for that but pretty sure Chicago isn't offering him for a King's ransom.

Shame we don't still have Caron I'm sure all it would take is a package of our 1st Talbotand Caron.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Boston is at 4x5.25. My money is on an extension getting done at 5x5.75

4 years @ 5.25 is kind of insulting IMO. No wonder he hasn't re signed yet.

 

[Nikita Filatov*]

The only comment that was not dumb was "get luch back"....lol

 

[Budddy]

The best one was

"get Luch back"

lmao

I thought he meant lunch...like someone stole it

 

[Blitzkrug]

Time for Sweeney to draw the line in the sand then.

Loui gets his choice. He gets the extra million or maybe a bit more, but only on the 4 year term initially offered. Or, he gets his 5 or 6th year, but at 5.25 initially offered.

If he wants both, he's shipped out. I like the guy, but signing him to a 5 or 6 year deal at this stage is not a wise move for a team with an unknown future.

 

[Sheppy]

I can see it now. "Breaking! Bruins aquire Nicklas Grossman for a 3rd round pick"

The classic depth dman trade, then your typical "we couldn't get a deal done" nonsense. Bruins get bounced in the 1st round 4 games to 2, Eriksson walks in the summer.

 

[toasterjam]

wow...what a presser

 

[sarge88]

I just cannot see DS considering this team to be a finished process.

After the moves made last summer, keeping Loui, to me flies in the face of the direction he seemed to be heading.

 

[Blitzkrug]

And the dumbest question goes to..."If you can't trade Loui by 3 pm tomorrow, will you keep him the rest of the season?"

 

[PrisonMike]

some weak questions from the media.

 

[Dellstrom]

4 years @ 5.25 is kind of insulting IMO. No wonder he hasn't re signed yet.

Usually the management side offers too low, player side offers too high. Compromise. That offer is a starting point.

 

[ProdigalFan]

Sorry, NESN but that was not "breaking news"...

And Loui could still come down with a bad stomach bug just prior to warmups.

I'm off to the packie before closing. BRB.

Trades are hard don't ya know.

I don't think we necessarily need another third pair Dman. If it comes to a defense rental I would rather roll with our mess than give up an asset for somebody else's.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I like the Kovalchuk rumor best.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Usually the management side offers too low, player side offers too high. Compromise. That offer is a starting point.

I think that's closer to their final offer than the starting point.

 

[Absurdity]

Again, nothing we don't already know.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Its called Bruins!

 

[Dellstrom]

I think that's closer to their final offer than the starting point.

It's not THE starting point, pretty sure the first offer was something like 3x5.5m, but I highly doubt that's their limit. They've been negotiating this long, I'm sure if both sides want the same thing they can find a compromise between 1/2 years and ~1m.

 

[TCL40]

And the dumbest question goes to..."If you can't trade Loui by 3 pm tomorrow, will you keep him the rest of the season?"

I assume this person doesn't cover sports regularly. Even my non sports following daughter knew this was a dumb question.
