He may the 4th, but he is a top 4 defenseman in this league. He going to be a fixture on the PK and end of games. He also constantly fights for the front of the net. That's more than i can say for 1/2 their D squad.

Last year Sweeney made moves that had a negative effect on this years team, the moves he made this year in my mind were solid and did not effect in a negative way what can be done this offseason, and this coming from Sweeney critic.Doesn't change the fact that Sweeney overpaid despite being in a position of strength.
We still gonna hold onto this eh?Doesn't change the fact that Sweeney overpaid despite being in a position of strength.
I can think of a lot of phrases to describe Boston's situation at this past TDL. "Position of strength" isn't in the top 100.Doesn't change the fact that Sweeney overpaid despite being in a position of strength.
I too am a Sweeney critic but give the man his due, he got it right with Andrew Peeke.
As for Peeke's contract- it is my understanding that RHD are rarer than LHD, so it makes sense that teams overpay them & overpay to get them. The rarer the commodity the more expensive it is. Economics 101.
I understand your confusion, my bad. A top 4 defenseman on most teams, not league wide

Weird how even if you're looking to be wrong you'll do anything but give Sweeney his due.Weird how if you criticize the move from the GM's perspective and people willfully ignore that and continue to pretend it was about the player, no?

A 2027 3rd rounder provides no value to us for the next 3 years and probably the 3 years after he's drafted. Was always a weird thing to value over a needed add in a position we're weak at
Weird because those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Peeke can be a useful player and Sweeney can still have overpaid for him. I don’t get why you all want to ignore that because it’s silly. They bought a guy at his lowest value but overpaid. Why is that so hard to admit?Weird how even if you're looking to be wrong you'll do anything but give Sweeney his due.

Over paid him? Come on. Name three rounders from three years ago.Weird because those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Peeke can be a useful player and Sweeney can still have overpaid for him.

Would you have paid a fourth rounder for him?Weird because those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Peeke can be a useful player and Sweeney can still have overpaid for him.

Just take the L and move on. Hoooooly.Weird because those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Peeke can be a useful player and Sweeney can still have overpaid for him.

It’s harder to work the walls on your back hand.I’d argue the exact opposite. Especially for bottom pairing D, the best value is a LHD playing the right side.
I think someone said only 78 RHD have played 20+ games this year. So it’s fairly common to have a LHD playing the right side and the best value.
No. I think ppl are just telling you to eat some crow.Weird how if you criticize the move from the GM's perspective and people willfully ignore that and continue to pretend it was about the player, no?
2030 bro.Yup optimistically you are talking about someone who makes the roster in fall of 2020
Lonnie, I don't always agree with you... But I usually understand where you're coming from.Weird because those two things aren’t mutually exclusive.
