Bear is a guy everyone wants to be better than he is.

The thing is he is a great player just needs a good mate to run with

Shame I have to post this again so soon.

He hasn’t even turned 23 yet and he had a pretty good start for a rookie d-man. He didn’t light the world on fire but when he would get scratched he’d come right back and rip a goal into the net and be very active in plays. That’s impressive for a rookie defensemen…

He’s going to get better in his own end I have no doubt about that. I get some of the frustrations but some of the hyperbole around Lundkvist is nuts. He was a way better prospect at his age than anyone we would’ve picked in that range and he’s a RHD who can skate and handle the puck really well. A little patience will go a long way with this.

yeah

he's gonna be good

Rangers got a closer and the mavs resigned kyrie within the last hour. Would expect a Karlsson trade any minute now.

Bear doesn't have to be awesome to be better than Miller.

I never want to see y'all say anything bad about Saad again.

 

[Zrhutch]

A decade of Nill (who i think rocks) and I’ve never seen a quote quite like that from him. Saad struck a nerve.

Bear next to Miro would be next level.

A guy like Carlo from the Penguins wouldn't be bad either of course you will have to move Faska some how some way

Bruins.

 

[skygodz187]

Cal Foote FA
Ethan Bear FA
Christian Fischer FA

All three of those would be on speed dial

 

[eartotheground]

why should we be excited about a bear that didn't get a QO?

 

[M88K]

He better shine the shit out of that "gm of the year award" it's literally the only award he's going to win as GM of a hockey team.

Idk how a GM can be this out of touch with how outright bad a player was all year, hell all they have to do is look at... Literally any game, any set of advanced stats. 2 weeks of being carried by Miro doesn't make up for 2yrs of dogshit

 

[Troy McClure]

It's not just Nill. The coaching staff also clearly loves Suter.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Not sure if there's something going on with Mike McLeod and the team canada investigation, but I'm surprised NJ didn't qualify him

He's a guy I'd like to sign here if it worked out

glendenning 2.0.

i wouldn't let my soul get crushed over it, but i wouldn't be excited for him either.

Predictions on the random, out of nowhere, relatively inconsequential signing? There’s always someone…

Kinda made me like Saad more.

Could be anything this year with the UFA crop, tbh.

My random nonsense prediction for the Stars is that they will:


Trade Miller off and sign Gostisbehere

or

Sign Evan Rodrigues

 

[Kcb12345]

 

[LT]

Brendan Smith on a (lucrative) two-way deal

 

[Zapp]

DeBrincat
Bertuzzi
Depth signing
Do Nothing

Any of those options are what’s likely

 

[mc3488]

Hopefully we sign a gritty bottom sixer and a decent dman and I’ll be rock hard

 

[Kcb12345]

I'd take a Radko Gudas type signing

Don't mind Clifton either

Wish we had something exciting to think about over night. Last year we had the potential Burns trade. This year it's dead silent around us it seems outside of some minor DeBrincat stuff and the reported interest we had in signing Blake Wheeler, who wants to go to the East.

Words can't express how much I'd love a Duchene signing but that'll never happen. Kinda seems like the Islanders or even back to the Avalanche for him
