  1. Unfortunately we have Jeremy Jacobs.. Even if somebody offers us a player better than Jake.. You can say no go cause they're not gonna pay anybody any more money than what Jake's making.. they are the cheapest team in the league there only worth 516 billion 5th in the league.. I've known it all along in the eighties and nineties We were always 1 or 2 players away but never got it done.. Yeah, 2011 cup, it was the development and. scouting departments has nothing to do with the management.. That's why it's was such a big deal.. We're the best at development rookies and like a butterfly we watch them fly away…

  2. this team doesn’t even come close to winning a round if they don’t make 2 moves. a top 4 defenseman is a must physical d man !!! and a 2nd line center. i am tired of the lack of secondary scoring and getting pushed around in the last 2-3 playoffs !! nows your time to go all in while we still have the core

  3. Will Bergeron win the Bergy award this year? Based on the stats thus far, 100%.

  4. Ahh let me think about this🤔 I’m Gannon stick with a very loud yes!!!! Do it now before he shows his true colors and teams won’t give you the extra sticks and picks you we’re trying for

  5. Why on God's green earth would we trade Swayman? He has the potential to be the best goalie in the league. Let's not make stupid crap up just to have something to talk about . Please. Debrusk, see ya later kid and don't let the door hit you in the ass . You want to leave one of the best franchise's in the league why? Cause you had a hissy fit? Play to your potential. We made you a pro Dummy Mc Dum Dum . Good luck in Columbus bud .

  6. I'm glad DeBrusk is as commited to the nightly tasks at hand as he's been lately so other clubs hopefully think they want this guy on their roster. Sweeney better wring the most out of whatever they can get for him. We've seen him get hot before to be followed by bouts of him looking like his effort is M.I.A followed by Cassidy getting on him. He's got to go.

  7. unfortunately the bruins will have to trade debrusk. if he wants out, his contract is up so he will walk for nothing…the downside is that i dont think the bruins will get equal return on jake.

  8. The Bruins could very easily just hold on to DeBrusk and eat it. Consider it like a self rental. Instead of going out and trading for a rental winger you keep the one you have. I'm sure a lot of other teams that are interested are looking at it like if they want him they can probably sign him next year as a UFA for 3m or so because no one smart is going to qualify him at 4.41. It's too much money for a one dimensional player. And the reality is you are going to have another year of experience in Oscar Steen, you are going to have another year of experience for Jack Studnicka. You are going to have Lysell, and Harrison both likely trying to make the big club out of rookie and development camp. I'm not sure either of them have any shot but they'll both be there and both be trying for certain. I would think best case scenario for either guy would be AHL but you never know. And next year has a couple of other issues. 1 McAvoy's new 9m dollar contract kicks in. 2 Bergeron doesn't have a contract. 3 It's like the year of the UFA center. So they very likely will have bigger fish to fry then signing a winger who things he's worth 5m when he's probably only actually worth 3. The Bruins are likely going to try and get 2 of the centers out on the market. Likely 1 sure thing guy and likely take a gamble on someone who's struggling that another team might not bother qualifying but has a lot of upside.
