Tkachuk just blows up Eichel

Wish we had him messier material.

Wish we had him messier material.

Would love either one of em

Not sure how you’re coming to that conclusion when guys in this league putting up similar numbers are getting paid big

Could be 100% wrong. If he is worth all that then deal Donny deal cause he ain't worth 7+ to Boston

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

How? You think Swayman is going to play for peanuts after being in the top 5 for save percentage this season? Especially with the cap crunch they are already in?

How much do you think he can get?

I don't see anyone offering over 4 mil. Bruins will match that.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I thought they’d be. I’m in wait and see mode of course for the upcoming year.

You thought they'd be a powerhouse before the season?

You're a prophet, a visionary, a Seve galli.

What do you see for next season?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

You're a prophet, a visionary, a Seve galli.

What do you see for next season?

I did. I said so in August. I thought the Bruins were the best team in the league.

Didn’t see the playoff disaster however

Upcoming year all depends on how they manage this cap nightmare.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Which Bruins players could be on the move in order to clear cap space?

The Bruins might need to trade multiple contracts this summer in order to avoid a cap crunch. Who might be on the move?

www.boston.com

Over 9 million invested in LD right there.

At this point, I'd trade Reilly for a similar paid or role forward, at least we actually need bodies there. Unless we buy him out, which seems like a very possible situation.

No no no don't say that. Pasta people are coming angry and attack you because 88 is ultimate Bruin god and Tkachuk is nothing.

What does Tkachuk have to do with Pasta?

 

[EverettMike]

Literally no one has said this. Zero people. And not just here on HF but on the planet.

Pasta gets plenty of S*** for the stupid stuff he does

 

[Hookslide]

The rumors are out there, but as far as writing goes, Serevalli is a complete hack. If I have to read one more "Beantown," I will puke up all my beans.

Yeah "Beantown " crap makes me want too puke also............

 

[LavioletteScores]

Why is that?

Did it look like they were going to be a regular season powerhouse last year?

I just meant that this past season, at least for me, will keep my outlook on the next season and any stretch of quality regular season play anywhere from "who cares?" to "indifferently cautious" about their playoff chances next year. I have to admit, as I've gotten older my nervousness/excitement around the game lessens. If they win, fantastic, but if not, I'm not going to be too bothered!

 

[GordonHowe]

Some good stuff, as always, except Scott McLaughlin is one long-winded guy.

Pagnotta reported that the Preds and Kings had discussed a package for Saros that included multiple firsts and prospects. I know Ullmark’s season is an outlier compared to the rest of his body if work, but if Saros gets all that is it really that far fetched to think Ullmark could get a first?

I don't see why he couldn't. I think Chicago for that TB first makes some sense if they want to start adding that is. They need a goalie. They will be everyone's target this off season but we could trade them useful assets for picks

 

[rocketdan9]

Trade Hall, Grz, Forbort, Ullmark, Reilly, Zboril, Frederic for picks/prospects

Rumors flying that the Flyers have Hart on the trade block so that might help set a price as well. Ullmark would be between Saros and Hart I think.

Woah that looks like a 9 th place finish in the eastern conference. No thanks and I like you rocket but thats scary.

 

[Patdud]

I don’t normally care what mr Weymouth board of decisions says but when Brett retweets you with this hmm….




Honestly its a shame that CBJ and BOS relationship for trading may be soured because its the perfect place to dump Reilly or Forbort and (If he accepts the trade) Coyle.

Scary or not changes are coming and they won't be for the better. Next years team will be significantly worse than this years(on paper anyways).

All they can hope for is a panthers type season. Mediocre regular season and catch fire at the right time.

8 players that have not proven they can play in the NHL and I included Greer in there , good grief ! I think you can come up with a better plan than that...........oh and don't forget Bedard is already taken............

As he should. There's no question he's a great goal scorer but he has way too many brain farts.

Some good stuff, as always, except Scott McLaughlin is one long-winded guy.

What needs to change? They need to grow some backbone. It's been an issue for several years now.
