Boston proves to be a non trustworthy trade partner

[ViD]

Columbus got played - plain and simple. Gavrikov sat for 5 games with the management thinking the deal is done and then Boston simply said screw you, we strike another deal

oh well

snooze you lose

 

[Hoek]

Or maybe Jarmo just asked for too much

 

[PB37]

2 minutes to Marchand for unsportsmanlike trade negotiations.

 

[JT3]

Tough luck. It's a business. Based on what it sounded like Columbus wanted for Gavrikov it seems like the Bruins got a better deal for a better defenseman plus a forward as well.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Columbus got punked for sure!!!

Dirty move by Boston but such is the business.

However, Orlov and Hathaway sucks, and Gavrikov would have been much much better for Boston.

 

[Jovavic]

It's not a done deal till they call it in

 

[StreetHawk]

No trade is final until it is registered. Unless they both say, let's register this deal with the NHL, not much you can do.

But, it sets precedence around the NHL for GMs to know how others operate. Some won't like that and won't really want to do business with you. Others are fine with that and will reciprocate.

Misleading title.

Nothing is done until paperwork is filed with the NHL.

To assume otherwise is, IMHO, considered Amateur Hour

 

[kthx]

Be Jarmo
Ask for 1st+multiple picks and not ready to take salary back

Sweeney goes elsewhere
Finds a better player, dumps cap and gets a grinder (with probably same picks)

Shitty Boston

Finally a bruins fan who sees the favoritism

/s

 

[MadeUpName]

Good. Maybe it will teach GMs to stop shopping their deals until the last moment. If you think you have a commitment then put it on paper and fax it in.

 

[danpantz]

Sounds like CBJ wouldn’t retain or take a cap dump.

Washington would. You snooze you lose.

 

[HBK27]

How does this prove anything?

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

So they tried to play hardball on the price, lost and are now crying about it...got it

 

[Wolfpuck]

Sour grapes. I’m sure tons of “sure thing” deals have fallen through before being filed with the league.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh well shit happens and everyone is looking out for their own best interests.

 

[Warden of the North]

It's not don't until it's done.

"I don't know how to judge this. I don't know who's right and who's wrong".

Certainly a misleading title as it essentially states "Boston was wrong" haha

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Yeah, sounds like CBJ may have just played themselves here. OP is just being salty.

 

[Zach716]

Feels petty to put this out in the public. Stuff happens.

 

[BergyTime37]

That’s tough. They got a better price and pulled the trigger on it.

NHL trade deadline season is all about smoke and mirrors.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

CBJ fan here, but it ain't done until you get them to sign on the line that is dotted, to quote a great film.

 

[danpantz]

Learned about a decade ago that a deal isn’t done until it’s done.

See: the Iginla deadline when he was a bruin for 5 minutes until he wasn’t.
