What about marc bergevin saying theres no interest in dealing Subban and then he literally traded him a week later

You're not actually showing any evidence of lying. Saying that something is not their intention but "never say never" is not promising that he will never be traded. When it happened, he also said it "came together fast".

Does that mean Larkin can't have a raise next contract?

Only fair...

Locked up forever anyway.

How does taking one less year keep him under the Larkin cap hit?
Couldn't he have just taken 8 x 8.55?

Maybe he agreed to shorter 'cuz next one is homerun retirement deal?

Seems logical to me…….

Could be, then what does that have to do with Larkin?

An 8 year post-ELC contract is more expensive than a 7 year post-ELC contract. Sounds like they opted to decrease the term by a year so that the corresponding cap hit wouldn't be above Larkin's. Pretty silly if true.

Larkin will be old ... past tense player.

Apparently they didn't want to sign any players for more than what Larkin was making, regardless of term.

Hmmm?

It sounds like a deal isn't very close. So the Bruins are going to start the season with Korpisalo as their number one and Bussi or DiPietro as their number 2? Korpisalo gets injured and they are in serious trouble in net. You'd have to think they'd sign a guy like Martin Jones as a backup.

They're in serious trouble with Korpisalo in net, period.

Moritz gets my vote.

They made a dumb gamble thinking they could penny pinch after trading Ullmark, when instead that played exactly into Gross' hands

Hard to imagine an agent in a stronger position

The Bruins haven't had poor goaltending in over 20 years.

I think there's a good chance Korpisalo has better numbers than Ullmark this season.

I'd love to see that actually.

Yeah I wouldn’t sleep on Korpisalo

Esp against us,

Don't forget in the playoffs Ullmark was beat by the Leafs and the Bruins stopped rotating goalies.

Ullmark started 1 game and lost, and then was used for 18 minutes against Florida.

In the playoffs Ullmark was not a good goalie.

Ottawa won't make the playoffs, so no worries there.

Houston and Atlanta make sense in round one and if we go beyond 32 then 36 is the logical number with the current format for balanced divisions. Quebec city should get one in that round of expansion.
