Well, you probably are more likely to be talking to people that are closer to situation than I am, but just my opinion, I rather they do not make any move for either one of them.

I can recheck but it's 2027 2nd if Florida goes home early.Turns to a 28 first if they win 2 rds and Marchand plays 50% of playoff gms .
I get the impression that you, and many others would like Marchand back, I am not one of them, this team needs to move on from the past, and start with a new group, Pasta has been outstanding and hopefully Mcavoy and Lindholm are healthy, if so than let's move forward and let them set the model for what this team should and can be.

I want him back - he’s good
Anchors second line and is an iconic player
Easy decision for me

Man, and people here accuse me of trying to stir the pot? Yikes.

Agenda driven nonsense praising a gm in charge of a playoff non qualifyer, with a sub par roster full of bottom of the roster trash, and overpaid stiffs.

The 15 &17 drafts bothers me .They should have done better then they did and that is definitely on Sweeney.Anyhow it's water under the bridge & I am more concerned with this draft right in front of them.Lets go Sweeney, hit a homerun.

Apparently that's what LeBrun and his supposed "GM sources" are doing here. Just more lame stream media nonsense ...

You don't think the timing of this thread is dubious at best? Team gets eliminated from playoffs and we got folks here praising this clown? Very much agenda driven, imo
Lonnie, all i did was post a link to an article/video.
There was no agenda. So please stop trying to call me out. You have no idea what I think of Sweeney.

I am definitely not a Sweeney fan( called for his firing multiple times) but I think he did well at the trade deadline.If this thread said polled Bruins fans instead of other GMs would your opinion be the same? Just curious.

It's almost like some here wished Sweeney had kept Marchand, Coyle, Frederic and Carlo.... likely just finishing in/out of a wildcard spot. Receiving no prospects or picks and watching some guys walk for free this summer.
Oh boy, that Sweeney is a sure dumb-dumb.

I've never been banned from a thread I started before and I won't let this be the first.
Sorry Wally.

No way not this time, a Sweeney fan or not, there's no way he can f-ck this draft up.

I don’t know how anyone can praise trading for draft picks as a means to a good GM. He bought some lottery tickets is all it is. Now selecting a player that becomes a full time NHLer cool you can definitely look back and say he did a great job. He screws up the picks and doesn’t find any NHLers it becomes a disaster.
I guess the long winded point is right now you just can’t tell how well this will work out either way

It’s crazy I know, but you can evaluate things as they happen. Getting a second round pick for an injured Trent Frederic? That’s good GMing. We don’t need to see what the pick turns out to be in five years to objectively say that was a good trade. Etc etc.

Any way you try to swing it you still only bought a lottery ticket. You trade someone who played in the NHL has scored close to 20 goals in a season and turn it into nothing well your team isn’t going to survive. You’ll become the Sabres who traded away a bunch of talent for picks, prospects and still can’t make the playoffs in over a decade.
So praise him all you want but if those picks don’t turn into anything it can become a decade of missing the playoffs real quick.
It’s like me selling you a lottery ticket for $100 and you claiming you won that deal and it was good before you even scratch the ticket
Well he did bring back Joker, Mittelstadt, Minten, Lauko, Khustidinov and promoted Lysell. So its not a completely accurate description of the deadline.
Joker, Mittelstadt, Khustidinov & Lauko may provide net upgrades on Coyle, Carlo and Brazeau.
Or Mittelstadt with 1.8M retained to Minnesota might get a 2nd back and
$3.9M gained on the cap to help sign Tavares and Marchand. Just spitballing but its going to take some creative rostering to upgrade to a legit top 6 and acceptable top 9.
