Post-Game Talk: 9 AM May 19th, 2024 - Garbage Bag Day at Warrior Arena

[the negotiator]

Lots of decisions to make

It all starts with signing Sway long term

Then looking to trade Ullmark

Then gauging who in the FA market wants to come here and at a " reasonable" price

And finally

- a number of Bs UFA are likely not coming back ( JVR, Shattenkirk, Grizz)

- others ( Forbert, Jake, Heinen, Maroon) will have to wait to see how the market shakes out.

Personally I would take Maroon for his leadership and if they can sign a forward with some consistency and grit (think Bert or Toffoli) I would wish Jack well

The culture in that dressing room that Chara developed, and has been carried on by Bergy and Marchy, is the best in the league. Guys want to play here.

If the Bruins need Maroon for his leadership, what does this say about Marchand, Coyle, Pasta and McAvoy? I’m sick of Sweeney using cap space on NHL retreads all in the name of leadership or intangibles. This roster needs SKILL not locker room speeches.

Swayman is a remarkable young man I am good with him being the face of the franchise for the next 8 years, and he is the best face of the franchise guy on any of the 4 major professional sports teams in this city

 

[Bridges31]

gotta resign him, even if he plays 40 games. Type of guy you want around the youth.

He was useless as a Bruin on the ice though honestly. He brought nothing that another dime a dozen fourth liner wouldn’t bring except a regular 4th liner wouldn’t be as slow as a snail.

This is how you get into UFAs heads, right here.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Can we give Swayman an "A"?

 

[Forester65]

Must...have...more...Bruins games

... it's going to be a long off-season

That kid is faster than Maroon. I see a future as an NHL veteran leader for him.

[AngryMilkcrates]

Only if they ran out of Cs

 

[Lordstanley]

Bruins unequivocally play better in front of Swayman than Linus it seems

This is very true....still not sure why...?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

He isn’t saying much for his other teams and the 3 cups if a couple months with the Bruins was the best experience in his career?

Boiler plate breakup day answers.

Yep, just end of year speeches. Foligno speech.

Jake led the team in the playoffs with 11 points, while Coyle and Frederic had a combined point total of 10. I would rather have a guy show up when it counts in the playoffs than in the regular season. Pasta was targeted and needed help offensively; most top teams have 3 or 4 guys who can score.

They were against the cap, and as a transition year; it was better than I expected. Go add some physicality and scoring. Any of the two of Guentzel, Zadorov or Lindholm. All 3 would be amazing, lol, we can dream.

It says that you need more than just one voice and one guy leading. Having a good group voice makes the message that much louder, no different than any other good work place.

 

[Lordstanley]

My take away for the season. He, Beecher...Lauko... Younger guys better much needed experience.

Must...have...more...Bruins games

This was me after the Bruins vs Flyers Stanleycup Finals....a billion years ago...I couldn't walk , talk or eat for a week....lol

Based off his comments, Maroon should be an easy resigning. Should be relatively inexpensive, seems to want to be here, has a leadership voice and provides a service that we’re currently lacking

 

[Bradely]

I thought it was Tkachuk for a second

Impossible.... not chewing a mouthpiece!

 

[JerseyBruin]

Impossible.... not chewing a mouthpiece!

Or laying on his back flailing his arms

Problem is he is a borderline disaster out on the ice, and Mony has already shown he'll play him no matter what even when it makes no sense
