The Bruins are DOING NOTHING…
So with a bunch of teams making a flurry of Trades to make their team better to fight for a cup what are the Boston Bruins doing absolutely nothing they’ve been linked to lyol looks like that’s not going to happen they were linked to hannahan he gets dealt to Vegas even
Joel Edmonson was in rumors about the Bruins trying to pursue him and he is dealt to their rival the Toronto Maple right now it doesn’t seem anything significant is going to happen maybe they make a minor trade but a SA is not coming through that door and the crazy
Thing is I’m not mad that they’re not buying at the trade deadline I’m mad that they’re not doing anything at all you could move Jake de Brusque for something you could move a Matt grizzli for something you have expiring contracts in which you will probably not
Retain why not deal them to get some type of value back and maybe some draft Capital that they have been giving up for years to win a cup and due to that the cupboard is pretty barren the Bruins are a good team but time and time again
They have shown us they’ll have these Great Moments in play great hockey but then you’ll have performances like the New York Islanders where they get completely destroyed and then they’ll lose a tight game like they did against the emont Oilers they were up one- nothing with little time left in
Regulation and what do the Oilers do they score Force an OT then they win it in extras and then the Bruins come up yet again with another overtime loss I like some players on the Bruins but they’re missing not just one piece but a couple pieces to truly make them a
Contender and when I look around the NHL and I see the additions being made Florida getting teraso I’m like wow that’s a great deal Vegas getting Hanahan that’s a great deal I mean for God’s sakes the Rangers even got wenberg and I’m not saying he’s an elite first
Line Second Line guy at least at least they got something and for me when I look at the Bruins it seems like it would be poor Asset Management to not get something for these guys takee the brusk yes his stock is down so maybe you don’t get the desired trade you want but
Are you going to be able to retain him next season Matt grizzli the same thing I’m frustrated for a different reason compared to most Bruins fans most Bruins fans are mad that they’re not trying to buy at the trade deadline to go for a Stanley Cup but when I look at this team
For as good of a record they have there is some genuine question marks that I don’t think one single player fixes Bruins will have more C flexibility next season maybe some guys that they wanted to Target at the trade deadline that didn’t work out they could possibly have
A swing at when they hit the open market but I think this would be a bad deadline if the Bruins don’t buy or don’t even sell anything the only thing I’ll say I’m not mad at them is not dealing allmark if they don’t get the price they
Feel a guy like olark should get you have him under contract for another season he’s proven he’s a very good goenda like olark in the off season but outside of that I think dealing expiring contracts is a mistake but I’d like to know your thoughts Bruins fans Down
Below in the comment section what do you think of this trade deadline so far and do you think Don Sweeney will pull a rabbit out of his hat I’m captain Paul I’ll see you in the next one
A lot of teams around the NHL are making additions to make a push for a Stanley Cup and improve their teams. The Boston Bruins have been mostly quiet outside of rumors and them not landing said players. Are the Boston Bruins making a mistake?

Edit: NOT DEALING expiring contracts is mistake. Blame the long work day lol
Bruins need Paul to be GM.
Bazinga bruins suck!
the thing is that Debrusk is not even in the top 10 "sexy" names for other teams making a push, way too streaky and seems to play well whenever he feels like it. Boston is in a pretyy good spot given all that they have lost, i think they are not doing any moves because this is the lets see where this goes season.
Bruins are a lock for playoffs, it makes no sense to trade away roster players as if we're on the outside looking in. If sway/ullmark get hot, this team can make a real run. Can't just throw away the season because we might lose a man or two in the off season. Silly to do that to the players, what message does that send to them?
Aren't all the expiring contracts just 1 million dollar deals where it doesn't really matter if they expire because they were contracts like Lucic, JVR, Shattenkirk, etc.? I think that was the brilliance of those signings because Sweeney knew he was going to have a lot more cap space next season, with some assets left to deal with. He was just filling out the roster with some veteran presence to keep them competitive and leave room for the younger guys to step up. I suppose what Sweeney didn't know was that the Bruins would defy all odds and be one of the best regular season teams in March…but still, I hope he realizes that this isn't the year. If he was smart he would have put Pasta on LTIR two weeks ago for a mysterious upper body injury and make a trade for Hanifin or Lindholm, and Pasta would miraculously recover just in time for the playoffs.
Bruins need TWO things:
1. a player that will prevent them from letting the other team with their goalie pulled, and
2. a player that will help the B's win in OT/SO…which really doesn't matter since this is not how the post-season works.
I better not see 28 or 48 on Saturday
To be honest, this is one of the final years where Marchand, Ullmark, Pasta, McAvoy, Lindholm (H), etc. are essentially all still playing at elite levels simultaneously… dealing expiring contracts just for the sake of dealing expiring contracts, especially if it would net us only like a 3rd round pick, or a few 3rds or something…
Nah. Love ya my man but I tooooooottally disagree. It's way too important to embrace the present when your team has so many great players still playing at such an elite level. Unless we get a chance to like give away Grizz or something for a 1st round pick or whatever, I see the fact that we've got such a good team as being the priority. We should not lessen the roster simply because we have some pending UFA's
I was hoping they traded away guys they aren’t resigning.
Milan lucics gonna come back. Watch.
We're between 2nd and 3rd period of the Toronto game..
Zdeno Chara's up in the press box watching the Maple Leafs pummel the bruins, cross-check Brad Marchand in the throat – he's on the phone with looch right now!
Because Looch is keeping track of his cell phone these days so it's not a problem
🙄
And after this game? Bruins fans will be very forgiving – they'll just keep showing that cross-check in the throat over and over. That's all it'll take.
Loooooch!
February 16th, they announced that he's asking for a meeting with Gary Bettman and he's under contract," indefinite leave"
I rarely make these types of statements… Yeah this is part of the puzzle we're missing that we don't need to trade for – we have him.
Looch is coming back.
I say swap DeBrusk with Bertuzzi. Exchange after the game tonight lol
Here’s my idea:
DeBrusk and Forbort + a 2nd round pick for Trevor Zegras, 50% retained by Anaheim
They can't close most of the rumored deals over the last couple weeks, those players since traded, because of not having any high draft pick slots to deal for the next couple draft classes. Its not the only reason. But it contributes mightily to talks proceeding. Like not having a valued tool in the tool box when trying to find the best way to fix something.
Doing nothing is worse then blowing it up at this point. I’m not saying they should be going all in and spending what few picks we have remaining, but guentzel just effectively went for Bunting and a Second round pick. This lack of action shows they are fine with a first round exit, which should not be fine with the Jacobs family.
Ya it was a bad idea for the panthers to not make any trades at the deadline last season too…
