Much better than the rumoured Gavrikov deal. I don't think they really needed to add a defenceman, but at least Orlov is very good and also very versatile player. Hathaway is also a good 4th liner.
 
Gourde would have cut his foolishness out very quickly with Hathaway on the ice. Playing for the Bs was Hathaway's childhood dream. I have to wonder if now being with this group in such a historic year will motivate him to be even better and play even more physical than he already does.

I don't know how Hathaway could play any more physically w\o consistently picking up lots of penalties and potentially setting up Pastrnak or Bergeron to get concussed in
retaliation. They definitely needed someone who hits to hurt and he fills the bill there
but he is probably the biggest asshole in the NHL and things can go off the rails with
players like him.

There could be an issue with Dimitry Orlov joining the team. He will have no issues flying into Canada BUT his US work visa needs to reflect his new employer for him to reenter the US.

Does that stuff take more a week to clear up, because they are in Canada until
Tuesday\Wednesday?
 
While I hate Hathaway, it is mainly because I worried about him injuring our guys. If he makes clean, hard hits and puts fear into the opponent, it is perfect. Hopefully it stops some of the dirty crap other teams do to our players. I trust in our leadership group to get the best out of him.
 
Do you guys think that Orlov will take the 4/24.4 type extension that Ekholm took? I'm on the fence on whether I want to extend him or not.

Because of real-world events, it can get sticky.

It is after 11 PM in Calgary and you have a US Government employee at the airport manning pre-clearance. He/She will go by the book unless told otherwise by a superior.

I am pretty happy with this deal. But I know Hathaway has his history.

Ladyfan has said she doesn't like him. I had this mental image of her (Silvio the super) sitting on the Seinfeld couch smoking a cigar, talking to Wally (Kramer), "I don't like this Mister Hathaway, he is an agitator. I am going to keep my eye on him." :)

To me the best thing about this deal is that Sweeney spread the picks over the next 3 drafts.

Will O play with Charlie?

I can not stress this enough

Charlie wants his parents to enjoy another Cup win.

I def agree with going for it, but here are the picks the next three years

2023 3,4,6,7,7
2024 1,4,5,6
2025 every pick but a 2nd.

They def could recoup some picks down the line
If the cup is won and depending on who is gone . I think DS will be very active at the draft he may not pick up a first but a couple of seconds is possible. How much the cap goes up is the unknown at the moment. The Bruins are also very good at signing College free agents . I think cupboard will not look as bare as it does now at the start of next season. Just hope they lift the cup before than
