I disagree when the only consistent NHL player in the deal has an albatross


Fact of the matter is a lot of people would have been unhappy no matter what they do. Two weeks ago they were a trash bottom feeder with no hope, now they should surrender assets for rentals. I just don't get it

I've been here long enough to know that's an undeniable fact

Again, where is this coming from? I've been really active here and:

1. No one wanted Burrows.
2. No one wanted rentals.

But people are vocal here saying people do. Maybe I missed some posts that are in the vast vast minority but the majority here have been in agreement for weeks and months:

The Boston Bruins should move assets to acquire players for now and the future to fix the holes in the current core while they are still in their prime.

No rentals.
No Burrows.

Bang. This is it.

But most importantly, the GM should be actively trying to do this. It's his job.

I think a couple deals will get made because that's how it feels to me with my understanding of how this works

My hope that it will be a deal that works... goes down now. I haven't seen a deal yet that I wish we were in on.

I kept thinking Justin faulk would get moved... but no rumors about him heated up

I kept thinking something smaller with Colorado would happen... that's where I'm at now

I see a Jerome iginla or Blake comeau deal happening to get us a vet re upgrade for the 3rd line

I can still see beauchimen too... but only if belesky can be moved

The core is transitioning. In 11 Chara, sieds, rex were the vets backing the youth of marchand, segiun and even bergy and dk to an extent. The bruins need to build with bergy dk and backes being the vets with kids such as pasta Spooner Carlo and hopefully McAvoy. Chia didn't exactly set them up for this transition and Sweeney needed to build the system and retool on the fly. Rushing the final steps so they can make a deal at the deadline, deplete the prosect pool and force a trade is foolish. Sweeney has made it very clear of a deal can be made that will help the team long term he will do it, who is to say that deal exists right now?

Player deals happen around the draft more so than the deadline.

Who said has? Who said it will?

If it isn't there, stand pat. But if a trade unfolds that meets this criteria and the Bruins passed on it we get to discuss.

Most will be just fine watching this pass and the Bruins add nothing if only rentals are moved around. But anyone watching the Colorado game just saw a pissed off Landeskog drop the gloves after single-handedly winning a game over the weekend and showing he is a great NHL player.

Duchene looks like he is daring Sakic to move him.

If either are moved then we can discuss the merits or failures of not obtaining them. For now, nothing that has been moved seems to address either hole in Boston.

But how many years can we point to the hole and DNQ?

He has been GOD awful this year and tonight especially. Just terrible and has scored two goals against his own team BAD.

You do not think Brendan Smith would have helped Bruins backend? He was one of the few on entire Redwing roster who was a positive possesion player

That's all we can ask for. And if a player who addresses one of the two holes in this core are moved before 3:00pm tomorrow we can ask those questions as to why the Bruins didn't make the move with all of these assets we hear about daily.

Until then, solid point and good for Sweeney for not grabbing a rental.

Teams that DNQ tend to be more than one player short IMO, and to be honest it's looking more and more like the old coach may have been a bigger reason to us having DNQ's and 4 game 7 losses at home. Save for this season.

Let's see how this team finishes as is. 85% odds to make the playoffs at this time last year as well.

forward depth I would love to see Doan, but we are not contenders,, so he is not coming.
-
I would love to see Solderberg back as a depth player instead of bum Hayes.

We really need a good top-4 2-way d-man, like Siedenberg :)

Literally who Klein compares to and I agree but people weren't too keen on it. Has one more year at 2.9 and could be an option in the off-season.

It's a smoke screen. The entire purpose of the presser was a bluff at the sellers. He's trying to bring prices back to earth. A deal will get done
