Post-Game Talk: NHL TRADE DEADLINE - MARCH 8 - HF Bruins Discord backup is open

[Sheppy]

Say what you want, Maroon wouldn't have stood around last night.

Sorry for going off about Maroon The Goon folks.No need of that and ruining you're day here.Again I apologize.

It happens, dawg.

 

[DominicT]

I'm baffled as to why the Wild retained on Maroon when the Bruins can quite easily place him on LTIR.

I'm missing something

 

[GoBs]

Career 0.34 ppg in the playoffs. Pretty good for his role.

Yes I agree
I like the player but the back surgery is a concern

They retained?

 

[Over the volcano]

We need some a**holes and maroon is an a**hole. And basically free. Not going to complain, still a hilarious move though

He certainly knows how to play on that edge when it counts.

 

[DominicT]

They retained?

20 percent yes.

I was thinking the same thing, but my knowledge of cap rules is nowhere near yours, and I figured I was missing something too.....

What’s the implication of this in idiot terms?

Sometihing else going on. Middelton?

 

[Oates2Neely]

I mean, what are they going to say lol

“I really hated playing with him back in xxxx, I’m really bummed Sweeney traded for him here, I’ll keep my distance once he arrives” ?

My guess it’s in case they get another player and need extra cap space for the regular season? I mean it would be wise to get Maroon in a few games before the playoffs

 

[KrejciWinger]

If Maroon is back in 2 weeks he still hits their cap for the remaining games? Just guessing here.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

20 percent yes.

Did not realize that.

You got me, dude.

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[goldnblack]

Do you think teams like Florida are going to roll over like the Leafs did? We still need pieces

Especially at center

Imagine if you will, the concept of cap space!

“I really hated playing with him back in xxxx, I’m really bummed Sweeney traded for him here, I’ll keep my distance once he arrives” ?

"I'll get the treadmilll prepped for him"

 

[eightspokedb]

JFC - Can the NHL Network ball wash the Leafs any harder? I know it's a Canadian based broadcast but geez.....

It was gonna be a conditional 7th otherwise

 

[Sheppy]

Ultimately here's what you're getting with Maroon:

Pros:
- He's a leader
- He's a winner, regardless of his "impact"
- He's a great guy in the room, everyone who played with him enjoys him. Great personality.
- He will stand up for his teammates
- He still has a set of hands around the net

Cons:
- Obviously the back surgery
- He's slow and in his mid 30's
- He's probably not going to beat anyone up, he's strong and will hang in there, though.

I think I'm on board with Middleton being the white whale at this deadline after seeing Wothespoon get smoked by Bertuzzi last night. Middleton is an actual good defender that can go with the best of them, go get him.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Imagine if you will, the concept of cap space!

No shit!

 

[TSBruins13]

Maybe we bring in Middleton and Barbanov

Last I heard was they were circling back but didn't look likely. I don't know how this can be related because they could have retained in Middleton.

However, Middleton has one more year and maybe the Wild didn't want to retain on the second year.

But this would still require another move to create cap space for Middleton
