Wahlstrom is the same age as Merkulov.

Yup Merkulov would probably out score him in NHL or AHL

I get the whole rebuilding-retooling thing, where people are willing to miss the playoffs to achieve these things - sell to get younger pieces or higher draft picks. Problem is, by the time those picks develop - which is always a crap shoot to some degree - Pasta (28), McAvoy (27), etc will be entering their back 9 years - both would be over 30, and no one wants players over 30, right! God help us if either gets more banged up. We'd still be saddled with an underdeveloped roster. Or at best, the window for winning would be fairly narrow.

I'd rather bolster the roster now as best we can without selling the farm or emptying the prospect cupboard. If waiting 3-4 years gives us more developed versions of young players like Poitras and maybe Lysell, Merk, great, except they'd have zero NHL playoff experience.

I want Poitras to get as much playoff experience as possible. Same with Lohrei and some of the other D and some of the other forwards. I want Swayman to get MORE playoff experience. If we expect to win somewhere down the road, that will all be invaluable.

I respectfully disagree. This team sorely needs a rebuild as they have nothing in the pipeline. I don't believe in compromising 10-15 years of the future to leverage the prime years of 2 guys, while spinning a continuation of mediocrity since they have little else that constitutes a true core.

Start the rebuild, and 88 and 73 will have a leadership responsibility and for what they're paid for, carry the team on their shoulders.

One thing is for sure, if the Bruins lose this game, the Colin Robinson (Energy Vampires) will be all over this board after the game today and for the entire 2 week break…

6-3 Tampa

Pretty sure Tampa did it with 17 shots .Vasi getting it done

 

[NeelyOrr]

To help prevent Vegas from too many scoring opportunities, it would be beneficial if the B's aren't given any man advantages.

 

[22Brad Park]

Messier saying the Bruins are what their record says they are.That's an all-time great seeing it so It's the truth.Subban saying Bruins have alot of same type players no offensive identity .They are right !
