He played college puck at Harvard


I'll miss him. He's been through a lot. Easy guy to root for, but a hatable guy to play against.

I feel sick just for saying this, but Moore is a great signing for the Bruins. He's going to be one of their best depth players.

I can only imagine that this means the end of Ryan Spooner at center.... or maybe a trade for one of Krejci/Spooner out of Boston. Too many centers...

Bergeron, Krejci, Backes, Spooner, Acciari, Moore.....

 

[Raspewtin]

Moore was great as a Ranger and I'll miss him dearly. Not as good as when he started here but he can still play. Great defensive player.

Bergeron, Krejci, Backes, Spooner, Acciari, Moore.....

I would imagine that Moore would be on the 4th line, I don't think this means much to Spooner. A 15 point 4th liner doesn't really mean the end of a 49 point 3rd liner at center.

Spooner is easily unseated by Backes.

B's got Riley Nash too, loaded with 3/4 C's I'd say something is probably happening soon for a 2/3 D man.

 

[BHD]

I'm fine with this signing as long as the Pens don't meet the Bruins in the playoffs.

 

[dukeofjive]

Does this mean i have to stop liking moore, always thought he was a great guy to have on the habs.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Always liked Moore back when he was a Leaf and was sorry to hear what he's gone through of late. Best of luck in Beantown.

Spooner is easily unseated by Backes.

Did you not see what Backes and Sweeney said about where Backes would play? He is going to be a winger/fill in center. Is Krejci even going to be ready to start the season on time? I thought he was going to miss a month. That and the PK is why I see them signing Moore. Moore looks like a depth guy, nothing more, nothing less. I see him filling the spot that Gregory Campbell had for a few years.

 

[Richiebottles]

Moore is a fantastic depth player.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

On Tuesday, the CEO may have spilled the beans. Participating in the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund radio telethon, Charlie Jacobs used the Bruins’ depth at center — naming Backes and not incumbent third-line pivot Ryan Spooner — as a primary reason as to why he feels the Bruins will be improved this season.

“We’ve got Bergeron, [David] Krejci and Backes as our first three centers. Think about that,†Jacobs said. “I don’t know if there’s a team in the Eastern Conference that is [as] three-deep at center.â€

A source told WEEI.com Tuesday that the Bruins have not told Spooner that he’ll be playing wing in the coming season. Spooner is entering the final season of a two-year deal with a $950,000 cap hit and will be a restricted free agent after the season.

Always liked Moore. I could never cheer for Boston, but this is a good signing. Boston will fall in love with Moores' tenacity.

 

[nmbr_24]

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

So that would mean Backes and not Moore would be the reason why he wouldn't play center. Moore wouldn't really have anything to do with it. Julien is the one who will make that decision so I could easily see Backes playing center over Spooner. Backes and Sweeney also said that Backes is also going to be playing wing. We will see but I don't believe that Dominic Moore will be the reason Spooner isn't playing center if that does indeed happen.

Wanted Moore on the Flyers before they signed Boyd Gordon. Good signing.

Was gonna post the exact same thing.

Hope it works out for Moore

 

[iamthewalrus]

Moore has earned every penny of that contract and then some.

Gonna miss him

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

I love Dom Moore. I'll always root for Dom Moore. But the truth is he was a shell of himself last season.

 

[Cassano]

Moore was the best 4th liner in the league his first two seasons back in NY. Took a bit of a step back offensively last year, but he's still godly defensively.

 

[c4rcy]

Possibly something around Fowler for Spooner + prospect(s)

 

[Duck Off]

Possibly something around Fowler for Spooner + prospect(s)

Spooner isn't the ideal target IMO, but it makes sense for both teams.

 

[biturbo19]

Moore is definitely a nice depth pickup on the cheap for a year.

Pretty funny having a release like that with so many 1-year fringe player deals all at once. Dollar store spending spree!!! I had a chuckle at least.

He was a very likable Leaf.

How long ago was that? I hadn't realized he is still playing. Is there anything left in the tank?
