Seriously I can't believe the reactions on here.
Again because it bears repeating, Rick Nash for a late 1st, and Lindgren is fair value for both teams. Bruins get their guy, and it FINALLY gives Krejci a pure goal scorer. Their top 6 is insanely good now.
Spooner became expendable because he's not a 4th line guy, and as much as I think seeing a 4th line with Riley Nash, Schaller, and Kuraly over Acciari would work, I also didn't want Spooner with Heinen and Backes.
So, giving Spooner and a 7th to take some of Beleskey's contract, especially when Spooner wouuld be due for yet another raise this off-season, is completely fine with me.
Marchand - Bergeron - Pasta
DeBrusk - Krejci - Rick Nash
Heinen - Riley Nash - Backes
Acciari - Schaller - Kuraly
What a solid forward group.
