BRUINS GDT GAME 34 9:08 PM - THE BEAR explores Edmonton - NESN, SN1, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

value up for Freddy? Is it? sit his ass

Would sitting him decrease his value in the eyes of GMs watching him?

 

[Therewolf31]

Wahlstrom -> Brazeau
Brazeau -> Kastelic
Kastelic -> Beecher/Koepke

Well Tyler Johnson just got unconditionally waived so that opens a spot up for Wahlstrom. Time to see Poitras back up and McLaughlin back down.

That's good, I bet JJ loves Donnie wasting his money.

Koepke sits. Swayman starts.

Expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

This is definitely your slogan

That's good, I bet JJ loves Donnie wasting his money.

I'm sure he doesn't however TJ was a bust. Should have tried other guys from Providence (Lysell maybe) for league minimum $$.

Wonder if we will see Wahlstrom. As an armchair coach I am torn over who to sit of he does.

Freddy could sit for a game or two, but they need to showcase him to keep his value up.
Geekie and McLaughlin are scoring, can't douse that.
Koepke could go, but does not deserve to.

Beecher for a game with Kastellic down to the 4th and Wahlstrom on the third.

Hmmm

Brazeau also an option.

McLaughlin has goals in his last two games

 

[Boston Bandit]

He definitely has some talent and a nasty shot

How much money would that have saved?

Lysell is on a 2-way contract and makes more in the NHL than Johnson.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

McLaughlin has goals in his last two games

He had no points in his previous six. And people are calling for Brazeau to sit even though he’s not had six consecutive games all season without a point.

I’m not champing at the bit to send McLaughlin down. He’s been fine. But he’s also a JAG and his spot isn’t cemented because of (let’s face it - a couple of fairly lucky) goals.

 

[Mantis]

I want lines!

Call your guy!

 

[Boston Bandit]

Brazeau also an option.

 

[lopey]

Bruins place veteran F Johnson on unconditional waivers to terminate deal

I want lines!

Johnson not on waived

 

[Olden McGroin]

Wahlstrom in, Koepke out

He should be an option, ìf he's not producing offense he's a major liability, he must be one of the slowest players in the NHL.

Lucky goals are still better than non-existent goals. It means a player was in the right spot and did the right things for luck to happen.

 

[Terrier]

I want Oliver in the shootout!

 

[PlayMakers]

Koepke sits. Swayman starts.

Glad to see Wahlstrom in.

Disappointed they're not going to take a longer look at 63-28-13.

 

[lopey]

Wahlstrom in, Koepke out

Hmm interesting. Others should sit before koepke.

 

[DiggityDog]

Have to think they gave Johnson the option to report to AHL or mutually terminate.

Looks like he chose the latter. Can’t blame him.

 

[Gee Wally]

“Wahlstrom will make his Bruins debut Thursday night in Edmonton, skating on the third line with Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic. Mark Kastelic will slide back down to the fourth line with McLaughlin and Johnny Beecher, while Cole Koepke draws out.”

Last goal he scored was going hard to the net. Not pretty but effective. No style points in nhl.

Hmm interesting. Others should sit before koepke.

Why? He's been brutal

 

[veganbruin]

Just watched a lot of Wahlstrom highlights. Not only can he shoot but he’s got a sick set of mitts in tight. He also seems to surprise goalies with when he shoots which is something I love and this team desperately needs.
