Tampa makes the changes it sees as necessary and moves on

Tough minded management which is a plus but how it managed Stamkos was disappointing ..,beginning to see a trend that LV started of worrying less about player relationships and more about money and term ( also see Rangers and Trouba and Goodrow)

Will be interesting to see in the long run how this approach plays out

I do think the Sun and low Taxes are very well seen from a player's POV. I do think with time, the sun belt especially Florida's case might be a favourable position for both Tampa and Florida.

 

[LouJersey]

Absolutely. Looking forward to that day.

It's a message board it's never going to happen. Also miserable may mean something different to you than to someone else.

We are all equally excited for this process to be done so we don’t have to listen to you be miserable and complain how every FA that someone in here suggests, sucks according to you.

I think also people have different definitions of "good". Personally I see them as "good" but it just seems a Cup gets further away every year, but hopefully I am wrong.

Just my humble opinion, but he might be the softest player in the league. I’ve never liked him, so I’d rather Donny passes.

I agree entirely about him being soft and I love tough players, but you do need talent too.

The guy can score goals. Perfect world for me is a team full of Lucic's, Tkachuk's and Messier's -- but that's impossible.

I'm not saying make Skinner a priority or anything, but if they get their 1C and they find another d-man or winger after that and Skinner is unsigned and is willing to come her cheap and short for a chance to win -- you can do a lot worse than a guy who can skate like that and will likely score 20, without even needing to play PP.

 

[Hookslide]

I like Lomberg, dont think there is a fit unless he flips with Beecher or Brazzeau as the extra forward. Just think he'd make a fan favorite. Kastellic and Lomberg would be a problem line for opponents.

I also like Lomberg, but they just traded a similar player, 6 years younger, faster, bigger, and a solid forechecker, and will probably be cheaper. I am just pointing this out, please do not take this as a insult, many on this site get offended when you don't agree.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

A 250 lbs 6"6" Zadorov would be awesome. Stephenson and Stamkos.

How about Zadorov, Carlo and Letourneau out together...lol.

they need 1 if not 2 wingers with the potential to put up 20 goals. And they are going to need to find them cheap it seems

 

[Sheppy]

Not a big fish, but I’d like to see the Bruins bring in Perron on the cheap for a year or two.

I'm not sure I see Lauko as a comparable player. Lomberg gets under people's skin when he is on the ice. Players and fans alike. Lauko never brought that, IMO.

 

[Drift]

Don't f*** with me, Drift!

Keeping expectations low so I am happy no matter what!! haha

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Sounds like Vegas when they steamrolled the fake tough Florida, by legitimately being tough.

 

[Patdud]

Marchessault was a player I was hoping the Bruins would make a run at. oh well.

 

[Hookslide]

Someone is going to give Lindholm an awful deal. Hope it's not us.

I agree scares the hell out of me.

I feel like Chara, Hall, DeBrusk and Ullmark would say the Bruins are plenty cut throat.

Certainties in life:

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Mark Stone being injured before the trade deadline and healthy for the playoffs
4. Vegas being involved in every single big trade/FA deal

The Vegas Endless Cap

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The issue with free agency is there are so few "good" contracts. Ullmark was one.

Zadorov is a tempting thought but will be paid for a role he isn't going to succeed in. He lost Calgary a game against us in OT when Calgary thoroughly dominated the entire game only to try to a Phaneuf hit on Debrusk. Bruins scored an easy game winning goal as a result.

The size and toughness is welcome however as Forbort never brought that aspect in hindsight.

Libdholm sounds good on paper but many say there are concerns.

Sweeney is in a tough situation today. If everything lines up well then the Bruins are back on track. If he blunders then the next half decade may be painful.

Bruins going to end up with Paul Ranger at this stage

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Buyer beware. He’s a bottom four pairing guy who can temporarily do second pairing minutes for short amounts of time. He is not worth more than five million ever. And I was there for multiple playoff games where he scored.

Didn't see much Van but Zadorov impressed me when I did.

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Give me Zadina on the cheap. Reclamation project. Learn from Pasta and Zacha.

So what's the Cap hit?

Isn’t it always like that?

Uh…$9M?
