Regula is 775K, 1 yr two way via Puckpedia. Callahan is not posted yet but his qualifying offer was at around 875K.Normally I would go to Capfriendly to look up the details...
I like both of these players. I don't know what Callahan's ceiling is, but the little I've been able to see of him, he stood out. Regula I'm more intrigued by our board's scouting reports.Very happy for Regula.

Okay thanksThey are both 775k.
It was actually in the Bruins release.
I don’t get everyone's obsession with McLaughlin.I would have to think McLaughlin is looking for a chance to go elsewhere. I really do think he could be a 13th forward somewhere.
Either way, there is definitely a logjam, and I suspect there will be points where we are complaining about some people being sent down to Maine
On contracts like these I like to see what their minor league salaries are. I feel like it gives me a good indication of how willing they will be to send him down.Regula is 775K, 1 yr two way via Puckpedia. Callahan is not posted yet but his qualifying offer was at around 875K.
I thought McLaughlin was going to be a young Craig Smith, good speed, gritty and smart. He looked like an NHL player to me early on, but the Bruins have a way of breaking their prospects. It seems to happen more with the lower profile guys. When they show they’re ready and Boston sends them down anyway… I think it breaks their spirit. Steen is another one.I don’t get everyone's obsession with McLaughlin.
He’s a very meh player to me
I thought Regula was a real prospect but Callahan is just a token Mass born filler. Is Regula no longer considered a prospect?

I have the opposite view here. I think teams that rush prospects are the ones that break them. The Sabres and Islanders are perfect examples. I think there is nothing worse for development than an 18 or 19 year old playing a full year in the NHL and then getting demoted to the AHL the following year.
The Bruins really make them prove themselves in the AHL. If you can't be a complete player and a difference maker in the AHL then you simply are not an NHL player. Playing maximum minutes and in important situations is always best for development and the AHL is a strong enough league to challenge any prospect and many NHL players.

Good and insightful dialogue between you Beesfan.I agree with that approach, 100%. I think it's the right way to develop young players. But I also think that when a young player shows he can play in the NHL and be effective, and he gets sent down anyway, because of cap reasons or waiver issues, that's disheartening. I can see how that would take the wind out of some guys sails. Like, I'm not going to get my shot here am I?
Ultimately it's up to the prospect to persevere and find another way but I think it's why guys have asked for trades in the past, and why some guys seem to regress after it looked like there was something there.
I think that's especially true of rookies. It's the 2nd deal and the free agent deals that get interesting.Although not written in stone a good estimate for a 2 way deal is about 10% of their NHLrate.
