Folks,

Going forward please put all the Michkov stuff in the Hughes acquisition thread. Those who are upset with us not taking him can vent there.

Player Discussion - Most disappointing Hughes Acquisition

I vote Dach. Next is Newhook followed by Barron. In one year Rienbacker and Slaf could be #1 particularly if Wright and Mitchkov continue to play well.

This summer really felt like the end of the Bruins "aura" to me. There was just so much noise around that team in a way you don't normally see. The E.Lindholm deal in particular just feels like a real turning point in that team's trajectory. In a vacuum it's fine, they needed a C and they paid market value to get one, but it just feels like they settled because they felt like they "needed" to fill that hole. He's fine but he's your #1 guy you've locked in and he's maybe the 25th-40th best C in the league on a year to year basis? Reminds me of when Nashville traded for Turris and gave him that big extension because they were just so desperate for a 2C.

I think last year made them really buy into their own invincibility when they survived without Bergeron and probably made them overlook how weak the supporting cast is around their core. I'm not sure Lindholm, Coyle, Zacha is even better than our center groups from the Desharnais, Plekanec, Eller days. On a longer timescale I think they also bought into their own Bruins Culture bullshit way too much and convinced themselves they'd always be able to find a way to keep things going rather than admitting they got lucky with McAvoy and Pastrnak alongside Bergeron's aging curve and willingness to leave tens of millions on the table.

Line brawl. McAvoy tried to take Perfetti's head off. On the ensuing delayed penalty, Jets decided to pull the goalie rather than give up the puck for the PP (they were already up 5-1).

45 seconds later, Frederic one punches Gustafsson, Lowry vs Zadorov, and Stanley vs Kastelic.

Jets go on to win 8-1.

He was suggesting that Jets need to add toughness due to Gustafsson & Perfetti getting targeted by Bruins. Lowry & Stanley took care of business. The Jets didn't back down & destroyed the Bruins anyway.
