now that's the contract a #6 defenseman should get

 

[NeelyDan]

Zadorov is going to sign here and play softer than Hampus. Just watch!

I wonder who would win a fight between two guys named Hampus and Chad

Good deal, he was very good during the playoffs

 

[Hookslide]

He's 30 this year as he plays his first year in Boston in December. If you want to say that he's 29 for 3 months of a 7 year contract, fine, but to me they are signing a guy who will be paid for 6 and 3/4 of his contract as a 30+ year old.

12 points in 26 games for Vancouver against inferior competition (he was 3rd line) and he didn't click with EP40 either on the 2nd line.

Boston putting him on the top line and paying him anything more than 7 million is terrifying for me. In the playoffs he turned it on and had 10 points BUT again it was as the 3rd line C while the opponents focused on JT and EP40's lines.

Ha ha , what a spin that is he is not 30yet and when you try and move him at the end of his contract he is only 36

Peace out, Grzelcyk!

Gryz to Pitt

Good for him!

Sooo Zadorov and Lindholm based on rumors?

Zacha - Lindholm - Pastrnak
Marchand - Poitras? - Geekie?
Frederic - Coyle - Brazeau?
Beecher - Kastelic - Lettieri?

Lindholm - McAvoy
Zadorov - Carlo
Lohrei - Peeke
Wotherspoon

Swayman
Korpisalo

I don't see the speed increase. I do see height lol

Zacha - Lindholm - Pastrnak
Marchand - Coyle -
Frederic - Poitras - Geekie
Beecher - Kastelic - Brazeau

Zadorov - McAvoy
Lindholm - Carlo
Lohrei - Peeke
Wotherspoon

Swayman
Korpisalo

Just might be it. Time will tell if the Bruins have a prospect (Lysell?) ready for top 6 wing. Debrusk leaving leaves that Don Sweeney special available yet again.

Bottom six is appealing if Poitras can handle the style.

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.

Unless you hate the hot humid weather, big bugs and....well I am not allowed to say but yeah.

If you have kids in school the North are much better.

If it happens, Zadarov / Lindholm would be the biggest two pack free agent signings here since Chara / Savard.

Gryz to Pitt

Thank goodness.

 

[Dellstrom]

Gryz to Pitt

Happy for him. Certainly had his ups and downs but more or less a full-timer for 7 years, out of a 3rd round draft pick. Hard to ask for more. All the best to him.

 

[UncleRico]

I doubt states are using Florida tax rates as a means to tax players. It just isnt equal.

Well home games he gets taxed in according with florida tax rates, away games if he played in Boston he gets taxed at Boston rates.

Bonuses are at florida rates since that’s where he lives.

Is it me or are these AAVs lower than expected? Maybe if we get EL it will be under $7M. That would be ok.

@Gee Wally

When citing sources via X does it need to be a verified source already approved by the mods or is today fair to kinda link what we see before someone concrete posts it?

 

[KrugAvoy]

Good riddance Gryz! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[SPV]

Pittsburgh needs to make a run at Krug now, they are cornering the market on smallish defensemen. Letang, Karlsson, Gryz.

Id say just use common sense. If it sounds like someone that is known go ahead.

So bigbootybruinsfan77765545 is a no go?

Guentzel at $9m is about what I expected. Pretty big money for a Florida team.

News around Lindholm and Stephenson has been quiet but hard to believe the best C options won't have a ton of interest. Slight overpayment today could turn into a fair/good deal if the cap continues to go up, as long as the signings pan out.

Honestly not a bad price for him.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Closer to Backes/Liles I would say

 

[Ladyfan]

Gryz to Pitt

Best of everything to Grizz. Good guy

Or the biggest anchors. Only time will tell.

It's gonna be a dice roll. A lot of potential for success but also for failure.
