2C or not 2C?

[Theodore450]

Just steal Barzal and put him on a 2nd line exploitation line with Caufield. Demi needs to play with Suzuki.

Just like that, we are a 2 line team

I havent seen any shred of evidence that Beck and Kapanen can produce any of offense at the NHL level yet. So. No.

I dont want young scrubs. A scrub is a man that can get no love from me. Hanging in the passenger side of his best friend's ride, trying to holler at me.

Ice is earned my friends. Ice is earned.

Beautifully added Kandi

Might have to keep Dvo or find a LH center if that’s the case.

I suppose Newhook, but no a PK’er of faceoff guy.

Crosby …

Sullivan wanted to push forward and win.

Dubas wants to transition to younger team. Not rebuild, rather retool.

Crosby is getting frustrated with losing. NYR (Sullivan), Col (Mac), Habs are options if he wants out. Maybe a warm weather, tax free option too (TB with Guentzel?)

I wouldn’t be shocked.

Erickson-Ek in Minny could be also an option.

Untouchable

Return for Rossi would likely be looking at either futures or NHL-ready ELC forwards.

well we're def not gonna find anything if we look at every good young player out there and compare them to David f***ing Desharnais

If Hughes trades for a 5 Foot f***-All player to be our 2C then it tells me he spent too much time watching pornhub on his iPhone in the press box during the playoffs instead of the games.

2C is still going to be a heavy lift for the habs especially if dvorak is gone.

Crosby was drafted almost 20 years to this day. As romantic as it sounds... I just don't know if this is the right move. A couple years ago, sure... but you are really testing father time at this point.

And yes, I know he's still producing at a high rate, but i don't normally see a gradual decline at this age... its usually a sudden thud. And you're also one injury away from having the 2C issue all over again.

i understand we want to get bigger but there isn't exactly a huge supply of good young Cs out there. this is simply an option

Could a guy like Morgan Geekie be a poor boy Dylan Strome? Good size, played C mostly I believe previous to this year, good numbers probably inflated playing with Pasta but means he can play with talent. Bruins should be going rebuild mode - not that they enjoy trading with Montreal of course.

That could be badly received by Bruins fans. But the medias don't talk hockey that much in Boston. Yes it's possible, fans will not cry that much.

Kapanen and Beck just got their first taste of the NHL......perhaps you should be looking for the "evidence" that you seek next season. I think Kapanen has more offensive upside than Beck as he has better hands and is more creative.

Do you really think Hughes, Gorts and MSL share the evaluation method that you have put forth here?

I agree that neither one is pushing Evans out next season but both could surprise next season.

I think they do. Which is why they wont trade Evans/Newhook just to play Beck and/or Kapanen.

The good thing is, Beck, Kapanen, Mailloux, Reinbacher, Roy, Xhekaj, Tuch HAVE to steal a spot.

Which is fantastic

Yep, he is one of my realistic target too.

No idea what kind of contract he’s looking for and if Bruins would be able to give it to him.
