Salary Cap: We are looking for nuclear Kessels. And whales. Beam me up, Scotty Bowman

[Asuna]

Uh the Flyers just got a 3rd round pick for Rinaldo from Boston...Sweeny is higher than a kite

Haha wow. That is terrible for Boston.

Hextall is doing work, though.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Like what was posted above, Payerl got injured and fell out of favor behind potential bottom-6 players like Rust, Wilson, Farnham and Sundqvist and D'Agostino is a dime a dozen AHLer.

Yeah, I trust Zen's opinion that these aren't mistakes or anything. I'm JSin'.

I wish we could get in on the crazy. Scuderi and Kunitz for Bergeron and a 2nd.

 

[Asuna]

Also, if Zac ****ing Rinaldo got a third round pick, I'll be damned if Scuderi couldn't get a pick.

 

[billybudd]

We should take advantage of this. No idea what the hell they're doing over there. I'm sure Flyers fans are thrilled though. Hextall has done a good job so far this off-season.

Yep. Kick the tires on every single guy who does anything positive. Hell, I'd kick the tires on guys we don't even need and re-sell them if Sweeney bit on something loopy.

 

[penguins2946*]

Kunitz for Marchand? Anyone?

 

[Zen Arcade]

Yeah, but the other two are. They seemed high on Payerl a year ago and they could still usee him. It sounds like D'Agostino has been underwhelming but with the D pool a little thinner it wouldn't hurt to give him another year or two.

Payerl got injured and came back a much less effective player. He wasn't winning board battles or doing any of the stuff that made the team like him, he was just kind of there. Pretty disappointing, I really liked what I saw from him in first year in WBS.

Quick let's trade them Ben Lovejoy for Pasternak

 

[OnMyOwn]

How much space do the flyers have now? Could they be making a play for kessel?

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

No joke, there is something wrong with Sweeny. Not even joking. Is there any legal drugs in Boston? He's smoking something no doubt. Maybe we can get their 1st for Kunitz?

Well he did rip off Lombardi in the Lucic deal. This one evens it out.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Between trade calls he's screaming BRUINS HOCKEY into a mountain of PCP.

This is an amazing visual... on the level of "Kenny Roger's Jackass" (YouTube that if you don't know what it is. Worth the time)

 

[Cherpak]

Do it!

If Sweeney is gonna be that stupid you take full advantage.

 

[penguins2946*]

Well he did rip off Lombardi in the Lucic deal. This one evens it out.

I really don't agree that he did though, that was a pretty poor return for Lucic overall. Goalies don't have much value in trades and the prospect was a throw in prospect. It was basically the 13th overall for Lucic, which isn't really a steal.

That was my thought too, after a bunch of other terrible moves this is like him trying to throw raw meat to the mouth breathing portion of the Bruins fanbase.

This is the worst week I've seen a GM have since, well, any week Milbury was a GM. Every organization in the league should be on the phone with them right now.

Plus didn't Boston retain 50%? That's what lucic at 3mil,that's awesome.

If were talking the Lucic of a couple of yrs ago I would agree. But this was a very deep draft and no way does the Lucic of today warrant a mid level 1st rounder++. His decline over the last couple of yrs is staggering. The only thing he will really bring to the Kings is size(not needed) and his toughness.

I agree. It's been a train wreck on top of a garbage fire on top of an Indian Burial Ground

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

That was my thought too, after a bunch of other terrible moves this is like him trying to throw raw meat to the mouth breathing portion of the Bruins fanbase.

"Sully, we may have lost Lucic's 20+ goal potential and a guy who could have anchored our D for 15 years, but look at this. We've still got lots of guys with questionable judgement. Come on, Sully."

 

[penguins2946*]

Oh I forgot about the retained salary. In that case, the Bruins got smashed on that deal.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

I'm laughing so hard. I just don't get it.

 

[Zen Arcade]

It does my heart good to see Bruins acquiring Rinaldo after all of their outrage about Cooke.

 

[TheCraigAdamsZone]

Also, if Zac ****ing Rinaldo got a third round pick, I'll be damned if Scuderi couldn't get a pick.

Just show other teams him taking out Vorachek over and over again with that hip check. Maybe they'll be convinced he's good and doesn't only chip pucks off the glass..maybe. Probably not. Ever.
