Former Bruins Tyler Bertuzzi

[Bs1011]

THIS IS WHAT I SAID!

Man they may view Orlov and Bertuzzi as Pasta insurance for real. And re-upp both.

If they’re looking for Pasta insurance they better have that 1st round pick protected no one will make up for that production.

 

[goldnblack]

I feel like we may need a rat theme on playoff avatars

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

Interesting acquisition. I haven't read the whole thread, but this indicates some concern to me that Hall/Fliggy are out long-term.

Hall is seeking a second opinion, per Dreger.

 

[22Brad Park]

This team is deeper and more balanced than 2011, if all healthy.

Centre's are older and slower though

If Bertuzzi and Orlov cost you less than Pasta combined, and Lysell comes in, you're finding a bunch of goals there. Not 50, but a bunch certainly.

Dreger said B's don't necessarily view him as a rental

...which brings with it its own implications, of course

Word is he may not be a rental...

until his JohnHancock is on an extension, Im not happy.
Damn, I wish Pasta was done so everyone knew what they have to work with

 

[Bruinsguy613]

Does Bertuzzi play RW? In Detroit he's always played L I think?

he's listed as both on capfriendly for what it's worth... and a UFA at the end of the year.

 

[Alicat]

... HOW, HOW ARE THEY MAKING THIS WORK!?

I love Bertuzzi by the way. Wanted him here for years.

Voodoo Magic.

I'll worry about the future after this year is over

its pretty clear to me that DS made a promise to Bergy and Krejci that if they came back he would go all in - promise kept

if they had taken this attitude from 2013-18 they would likely have another Cup on the shelf

DS obviously knows a lot of things we don't about the direction of this team following this season. I won't be surprised if he has plans to re-sign most if not all of the new guys. I'm basing this off his track record as GM when it comes to big deadline deals. He doesn't seem to like to give up 1st rounders for mere rentals. He re-signs. Will certainly be interesting to see what happens with the roster after this season is over.

 

[HustleB]

Not worried about the draft picks at all. We knew there would be a price to pay. Our GM fills those gaps through College FA better then anyone and after this season we still have an incredible core in their prime. Our price to pay looks like it will only be one season next year. If some of these vets want a rerun on cheap deals maybe its the year after next. Either way, I no longer see this Ottawa/Buffalo/Arizona abysmal stretch looming, not with the McaVoy, Pasta, the goalies and friends.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

What, if any, draft picks could reilly/zboril fetch?

Reilly has been on waivers without a bite so why would a team give up a draft pick now

 

[NDiesel]

Word is he may not be a rental...

IMO that's worrisome...because you have to wonder if they are getting some insurance because of something Pasta has told them. Maybe I'm just looking into it a bit too much.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

DS continues to bring in players that I used to refer to as anatomical parts. This is a good thing.

The toughness meter on this team is insane. Bs were already hated enough. The big bad Bs are back and will be off the charts on the hate meter. Love it!

Depends on the anatomical parts....

I'll cease this feline conversation before I'm banned.......

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

this is a good time to think that stuff is nonsense I guess! Let's goooooo

it says he hasn't finished well this season but is still a good play driver who draws penalties. what part is nonsense?

 

[Bruinaura]

Damn, I wish Pasta was done so everyone knew what they have to work with

Maybe they've already negotiated with Pasta and are waiting until after the deadline to announce it? Don't show your cards to the rest of the league?

I have no idea lol

This is the most obvious interpretation of things TODAY. Things could change. But I'm in agreement with you. Pasta would be signed if that was going to be an easy extension to make. Sweeney needs to ice a competitive team going forward, and if that's minus Pasta, he's giving himself very good NHL talent to be flexible next year.

 

[22Brad Park]

Don Sweeney is Fenian incognito!

That all those charts are with the Red Wings. Means absolutely nothing with how he will fair on the Bruins

Every trade now you see some chart. Who cares. New team

 

[Lordstanley]

Doesn't need to be ALL the season

I'm thinking that Hall and Foligno may be out for quite a while. This was the right move in an 'all in' year.

But at this point next year (or in June) when somebody on here rips Sweeney for trading all his picks, let me be the first to tell you to SHUTUP!

Nice...lol

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Centre's are older and slower though

Also don’t have Chara when he was in his prime.

My gut tells me that ship has sailed, so you have to go into the off-season uncertain as to where he’ll land.

You’d have to hope he gives Boston a last shot at matching whatever he gets on the open market, but as the saying goes about hoping in one hand…

They better is right .Top 10 at least

I should have stressed that it's male parts.
