Think he's just never fit in NY's system and is buried behind their big $ guys. Even this year when he's getting scratched he's producing real well at even strength.Not a huge fan of his tbh. He's super slow
Just wait for the team had to cut Freddy's wifi because he was eating mcDonalds in his room playing Fortnite into the wee hours.
When did Kakko become a center?If Kakko could hit his groove at center that would be as close to a perfect deal as they could find.
There's the "if". The Rangers gave him a go there recently I think.When did Kakko become a center?

Um, did you not watch Kevin Garnett after Celtics won 2008 NBA title? He specifically said anything is possibleNow your just entering fantasy land.Also 75% retained??![]()
Blame Sweeney. They’re stuck in mediocrity, they need to stop selling out and miss the playoffs. 2026 is looking like a possibility for Bettman to wheel some magic the Bruins way in the name ofGavin McKenna.Um, did you not watch Kevin Garnett after Celtics won 2008 NBA title?

If Gary Betman can fix it so struggling franchises like Pittsburgh (Crosby), Edmonton (McDavid), Chicago (Bedard) and the Rangers jumping up 2 straight years to pick 1 and 2, then he can help the struggling, horrible bruins
This is a Frederic thread, we only say that about him here.Kakko is Caca

Once Bruins miss playoffs gotta assume the league gives us first overall - the important part is who’s the guy
This is not the year to pick one so Boston needs to probably not blow it up
DKH I had come around to your side on Sweeney coming into this season. After last season I’d thought he managed to escape a massive drop off and execute a quick rebuild. I changed my mind on him for sure.Who’s the new GM ? Chara or Bergy ? Or do we go outside and go get a grizzled vet like Brian Burke.
I would love Burke. An unlit cigar and the tie dropped around neck would be fantastic
Burke PresidentDKH I had come around to your side on Sweeney coming into this season. After last season I’d thought he managed to escape a massive drop off and execute a quick rebuild. I changed my mind on him for sure.
Unfortunately for him, everything he’s recently touched has turned bad. Coach, the major UFA signings, etc. All of a sudden things don’t look so great. If it were my choice, I’d like to see them open to a new coach from the outside, and the movement of a few key players. So the question is, has Sweeney done enough to justify handling all those major decisions again or is it time for a change?
IMO if the right candidate is available I think you cut off the head of the snake (Neely) and hire someone to run everything. I imagine that means Sweeney is gone.
I consolidate all the Canadian teams into 3 teamsNext expansion team will be the Palm Beach Maralargos and they will win the Cup in their first season.
Chara speaks 6 languages- 5 more then Seeeney and played for 5 teamsBlame Sweeney. They’re stuck in mediocrity, they need to stop selling out and miss the playoffs. 2026 is looking like a possibility for Bettman to wheel some magic the Bruins way in the name ofGavin McKenna.
Never know whether you’re being serious but not sure I love that group. I’d love to see them go younger than Burke. I’d even be up to bumping Sweeney up to Neely’s role and having him find a GM.Burke President
Chara or Bergeron GM other is Assistant
Lindsay Rough coach
Love DKH, straddles the line better than Quinn Hughes between sarcasm, decisiveness, flippancy, irony and earnestness, all with humour, vast degrees of knowledge and an infectious attitude - never change!Chara speaks 6 languages- 5 more then Seeeney and played for 5 teams
Chara would be a phenomenal GM based on his intellect and hockey ability
Bergy could be President and look handsome and bring class back to Organization
I’m ready for it
Plus like Yzerman in Detroit no one would dare criticize these two and we would all be on same side
Let’s go Jacobs - do it
I'd argue that it could be sign of a Boston issue and further confirms that this management group struggles to identify, draft & develop forwards. Jake DeBrusk is on pace for 38G/63P, both of those would be career highs for him. Guys like Vatrano & Donato got moved on from early in their career and both have gone on to carve out nice careers.
IF Frederic were to go to say FLA and put it all together. You'd have to wonder why it didn't work (as well) in Boston. What was Boston asking him to do or not to do that held him back.
I consolidate all the Canadian teams into 3 teams
Montreal
Toronto
Vancouver
No way Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, and I think that’s there is another (7 right? They can’t be any good if I can’t remember who they are) should have teams in small markets
We need to keep at 32 so if we see adding Houston, Phoenix, Hamilton, Atlanta in US we need to take away 4
Back to replacing Sweeney again, Geez will that talk ever stop ? Poor guy just can't win. A little patience please. But since you brought it up, if Canada falls flat on its face in the 4 nations and the Bruins miss the playoffs, you might be on to something here.I'm not so keen on Big Z though no experience, but What do you think about Rich Peverly? Bringing back someone who was instrumental in their last Cup team and is also doing a bang up job by being the eyes and ears for Jim Nill out in Dallas. If not Pevs how about Langenbrunner, Hunter, or Darche? Bergeron as Prez no brainer there, good Call!Chara speaks 6 languages- 5 more then Seeeney and played for 5 teams
