Both of them are perfect Bruins. If Eric gets back to two years ago then that is a great deal. Nikita is a steal. He was great in the playoffs. He is a ferocious hitter. He is also really funny in interviews. He is going to be wildly popular in Boston.
Back in 2022 when btc was at its cycle low, people where saying btc is done for it's going below $15k US it's going to zero. Well it's down 10% from mid March ath 2024 and now everyone is shitting themselves. That doesn't make any logical sense especially for crypto.Its just a shake out phase, chill people go zoom out at old charts. We are at around 1.4 trillion market cap and only growing, just wait and see the price next year in March it will double....I've been engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 24Bitcoin....I'm especially grateful to Renee Gilman, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
Reminder: the Bruins went the other way with the draft picks whilst swinging for the fence with some very good and big prospects. These kids are 17-18 and just getting started...big upside.
The thing everyone seems to be forgetting is how well Poitras played on the second line before he got hurt. Assuming he comes back as 2c and Coyle 3c teams looking pretty good with the potential for prospects to come in and fill any roster spots still open for the taking
Come on . One bad year and the year before he was second in selke. He is Bergeron 2.0 . Under 8 for Lindholm is a great deal And he will return to form with Pasta
Things to Love: The Bruins got much bigger, faster, physical and nastier on the the 4th line not too mention on their back end and there's no doubt they are a better team now than they were last year Zadorov will make the Bruins bigger and tougher to play against while also giving them the best Top 6 depth on defense in the NHL (objectively) while also allowing Lohrei to have some pressure taken off of him as he develops further Elias Lindholm will also make the Bruins tougher to play against, he’s a legit Top 6 center and he’s arrival also likely means they’ll get more out of both David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha next season Things not to Love: Elias Lindholm only scored 6, 5x5 goals last year between Calgary and Vancouver and the past two seasons both his high level numbers and his advanced metrics haven’t exactly been on the right side of “great”, in fact they’ve kind of just been in the realm of “barely good enough” Again, I love Lindholm but in terms of their overall Top 6 scoring talent it’s hard to really say that they improved very much by just adding Lindholm and subtracting Debrusk Adds: Elias Lindholm Subtracts: Jake Debrusk The last two seasons combined Jake Debrusk has scored 46 goals. Lindholm, 37 Anything else as of right now in their top 6? Um, nope So again Bruins Homers before you start in I like Lindholm and he’ll make them better while also helping them to get more out of both Pasta and Zacha. 100% agree with this sentiment However, he’s not an elite 1c or high end scoring threat (note he’s two elite years were with Tkachuk & Gradeau, so…) and he’s been declining, not ascending from a scoring perspective two years running AND No one on planet earth could say with a straight face that the Boston Bruins got infinitely better in terms of their overall Top 6 scoring depth with their moves today by simply swapping out Debrusk’s offense for Lindholm’s And no homers, I’m not saying Lindholm is a Debrusk replacement. They moved one Top 6 wing scorer for a Top 6 center scorer. That’s not exponentially improving theie overall Top 6 scoring problem. They moved out Jake Debrusk’s offense in the Top 6 for Elias Lindholm’s offense in the Top 6 A guy who scored 6, 5x5 goals last year in a full time NHL role while he played with good players in all situations Also, the term on Zadorov’s contract is kind of puke inducing but the Cap will go up and that’s just a problem Don Sweeney will have to deal with in 2032 or something because odds are, he’s still going to be GM #yikes It seems as though the Bruins still know that they have to improve in their Top 6 and it sure seems like some other kind of move is coming I can’t believe they are either going to slot Frederic or Geekie into a Top role, again replicating the problem Sweeney can’t get away from (i.e. playing bottom 6 guys in Top 6 roles) Or that they are counting on wild cards like Merkulov or Lysell being their 2RW out of camp, which again, seems like it’s not even close to a real option because Merkulov is not a Top 6 NHL player and all of the reports out of PVD from credible sources indicated Lysell isn't going to be ready to be a full time Top 6 player this coming year in Boston I think another move is coming. I pray another move is coming The Bruins got better in a lot of areas today, there is not doubt about that. However, They still haven’t done enough to address their overall Top 6 scoring needs because they subtracted one Top 6 player to only add another without doing anything else in the Top 6 Plenty of time left in the off season though…. Let’s hope Don Sweeney can get figure it out They can also always address a Top 6 wing at the trade deadline next year if whatever Plan A they decide to go with to start the season ends up imploding So there’s always that to consider as well, although this process of not building through the draft and constantly trading away draft picks is only becoming more and more of a long term problem
Mason Lorhie will sit and develop on the 3rd pair and grow into our (hope) D1 left shot aside from Charlie. He’ll get better match ups and complement Peek well. This isn’t the end of hampus. This give mason time. pastas contract was the biggest contract sweeny has given out. 90 million of 8 years. Elias is younger and they’re solidifying their core for the next 5-6 years. Now they’re allowing room for baby Bs to step up and take a spot on the roster. I used to like the sports hub.
The Bruins accomplished getting two good players in free agency, possibly started to rebuid their prospect pool and will get the contract done for Swayman. They are a better team today.
I don’t think we overpaid them. I think that’s what they wanted plus to get both of them from the Canucks to us as Bruin fans that’s gonna make us a major contender because they’ve seen how we done in the playoffs in fact yesterday. Lindholm was talking about how close we were to beating the Panthers. Listen to that if you haven’t.
Zadorov is a great signing that we need for d in this division . Tough and hate to play against . Our defense is huge now . Believe 5 of 6 are 6’3 and bigger . Trade Swayman to Ottawa for Ullmark and pinto
And what was everyone asking during the last series against FLA? Is McAvoy hurt? And he was not. What happened? Consider that someone played the Belichikian system against the Bruins and said beat us without McAvoy and Pasta. OK, now pair him with Zadora who has Charlie's back defensively and physically. Now, ask yourself what that adds. In addition, you have two more d-men (Lindholm and Lohrei) who can move the puck out with two more defensive big guys. Get it? Those are very good pairings.
I don't see an issue with over paying for Lindholm if that's what you think. Every team in the league is over paying for someone. Toronto's over paying for at least 3 players...
I don't know why they don't get rid of Pasta after the playoff he had. This guy is a typical Ove player without a cup. He only cares about his regular season stats so he can get a new contract. I would definitely see what I could get for him if I were the Bruins.
First of all he has no trade clause. Second he is the best player by a mile when it comes to the offence on the team therefore he will be targeted more just like in this playoffs. Also he is quite cheap for what he brings especially when the cap is going up - on free market he would be around 13 mil at the very minimum. Lastly you do not trade franchise players in their prime unless you have a trade of the century on your hands.
I cannot fucking believe it, AT ALL. I agree almost totally. You idiots got it right, I am genuinely extremely fucking surprised. I agree 100% I think. I really hesitate to type that, but I think I agree with y'all. On Lindholm: Every team he has played for has desperately tried to retain him. Look at the basic analytics and it's obvious the Bruins just got a HUGE boost. Lindholm is ~80 pt/season player if he is playing with players who can either equal or boost his game. When he played w/ Tkachuck, he was amazing. When he was moved up in the playoffs w/ Vancouver, he was amazing. He will be playing with Pastrnak and Zacha. His pts will probably be boosted, and tbh, he will also likely be the best center Zacha has ever, or ever will, play with. I am (optimistically) hoping for a 60-70 pt season from Zacha, a 70-80 pt season from Lindholm, and a 100+ pt season from Pastrnak On Zadorov: Yes we needed some bite, and some blood on the blue line, McAvoy is the first pairing, #1 defenseman. He is not a trainer. He should not be making up for typical rookie mistakes. Pairing him with Lohrei down the road might be the way to go, but right now, Lohrei is still learning. He doesn't need to be the dude we rely on in matchups against fucking McDavid or Tkachuck. Zadorov is going to make those guys look twice every two seconds. Giving McAvoy someone who can help defend against McDavid and Tkachuck is going to significantly help us survive those fucking Florida series. To be honest, I think it's also time we bring Lysell up. I agree that DeBrusk wasn't willing to game all the time. Dude was sick when the motor was running. The motor ran twice a year. Naw, bye bye. Thank you for the playoffs performance! Enjoy Vancouver. I am glad we invested in Zadorov instead. He also had a bunch of pts in the recent playoffs. Florida got worse. I genuinely think that depending on the Zacha - Lindholm - Pastrnak chemistry, we could be contenders. It may also sort of depend on Lysell coming up and not sucking though so who knows! Question got y'all: in the NHL, and other sports, being a rat is a useful skill. There is an art to toeing the line.Being able to draw penalties without getting one yourself is a fucking art that Marchand is the utter champion of. Marchand will retire in the not-too-distant future. What is Lysell's rat-king ceiling potential? Do ye believe that Lysell has the finesse to draw penalties and the intellect to not crossing the wrong line at the wrong time?
Was barely an overspend, we maybe spent 775k over on lindholm, and zadorov was a good deal, christ do you guys know anything about hockey, we got so much better today it’s not even funny, between what we added swayman, potsy coming back, and why the hell would we put coyle on the 3rd line when he had a great year last year and played well as the 2c, potsy will be there one day if he keeps progressing like I think he will, but for now you run, Zacha-lindholm-pasta Marchy-coyle-geekie Merkulov-potsy-Freddy Brazeau-Beecher-open that last winger spot is pretty well open to any of our young guns that are ready for the next move and on d we’re stacked. Mcavoy-zadorov Carlo-lindholm Peeke-lohrei Wotherspoon we’re going to be just fine better than fine
Lmao I hate listening to the clowns, 7.75 for a 1 c is good, plus he’ll be playing with pasta he’ll have 70-80 points lmao, plus cap is projected next 3 years to go up 4 million, I’ve wanted him for years, he’s a good centre, and I like stamkos, but I’ll take lindholm any day of week for 7 years, we spent 12 million for 2 guys that made us way better, somebody who can deal with Florida, and a reliable centre, our D is top notch still have goalie depth, Boston gets the most out of guys in excited, we got 2 of the top 10 FA available, anyone who’s not happy is a moron haha, but like you said typical of these guys, we’re a solidly a top 3 team in the east.
Canucks fan here , Lindholm will most likely be a buyout in 3 years. Calgary Flames fans will confirm . He's arguably not even a 2C on a contender. but you'll love Zadorov and he will most likely perform to his contract and cap hit. I hate the fact that Vancouver couldnt get him signed.
I'm support the Lindholm deal without Zadorov. They could have gotten another defenseman and another winger with the money they gave for him. I don't think he is worth it. Why has he bouncing around if he is so great ( Calgary and Vancouver)? To me he is overrated.
i just dont understand why people are againt h. lindholm. he had to take another role this season and now adding zadorov will allow lindy to play his game and return to the offensive powerhouse he was
@@whalehunter9640 The film doesn’t lie…especially down the stretch when things got tough, he absolutely crumby. I can see him being a better player in the West…East is beast!
Thank you. I've been saying that since after game seven against Florida in 2023. Maybe the worst performance by a pro athlete I've ever seen in one game.
@@brianshaughnessy4020They waited too long to trade ullmark, they should have traded debrusk and they are going to blow it with Lindholm he needs to go at this point just to clear the cap space.
I hope they can trade Hampus Lindholm, Zadorov is exactly what Boston needs now opponents will have someone to worry about. Elias Lindholm is badly needed a 200 foot player will significantly improve their roster.
MAZZ, HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A SINGLE ELIAS HINDHOLM GAME? You guys have never watched any of these players yet you comment on a 2 minute you tube video. This show is a muppet show. Mazz is fozzie bear... wucka, wucka
Kudos to these clowns talking hockey but in the end they have a limited knowledge base of the game, the culture, the intricacies and the intangibles that permeate that sport. They are constantly trying to make metaphors to the other sports to find footing talking about hockey.
Mark my words. Lindholm will be a buyout in 3 years. 3C at best on a contender. Zadorov is a beast but never in the top 4 in his career. Bruins fans will love Z and hate L
Yup like the D man finally someone to actually can fight & win & great a great hitter they needed this since St. Louis loss it could’ve helped steal that cup.Lucic heartbreaking but Sweeney’s attempts at trade deadline recently trying to add toughness that they should’ve started those seasons with a player that other teams fear because we’ve had nobody when you have Marchand bergi frigging kerchief are dropping the minutes THATS always a fail!GREAT REGULAR SEASON TEAM BECAUSE THEY PLAY HARD EVERY GAME AND OUT WORK TEAMS RIGHT UP TO THE PLAYOFFS AND THEY ENTER THESE PLAYOFFS EVERY YEAR WITH BERGERON SND HALF THE SKILLED PLAYERS ARE HALF DEAD AND HAVING TINY D ESPECIALLY GRYZ GETS PTSD IN THE PLAYOFFS AND IS SCARED TO DEATH TO GET A PUCK IN THE CORNER OR BEHIND THE NET whoops didn’t realize caps on 😮We have to many soft players since Sweeney has run this team.But you can get a player like Lucic ,Or a tough guy who keeps other teams honest give credit to freddi but he’s not scaring anyone and he’s no match for heavyweights and trade deadline moves is just stupid it costs way to much in draft capital this team idc has a horrible prospect pool and Sweeney should’ve got creative make 3 team deal for an impact player in the offseason and I don’t like his drafts will see this years draft pans out but generally forever picking undersized soft players and putting guys with size but nothing more than a tomato can forbort type on D and pretty much 5 out of the bottom six that are soft I know it’s not the 70’-2011 but he went way to small for years and all it did was get great regular season hard working well coached team and choke .Neely said a few years ago he has no idea why our team gets a ton of concussions (Carlo) and injuries and I LOVED NEELY and that comment from a former player like him shocked me! ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE SOFT AND TEAMS TAKE RUNS AT THEM ALL YEAR LONG !CHARA’s JAW BROKE I KNEW THEYD LOSE! Miss players like Adam mquaid that these 2 bozo’s 24:7 back then they need to get rid this guy and it’s not 2011 anymore when Sweeney took over we don’t need size we need speed crap the B’s went way towards the pussy end of toughness

Lindholm is a great signing. his points will skyrocket when surrounded by great playmakers.
When he had guys around him he had 82 points.
LOL YA BUDDY YOU BET BOSTON WILL SEE THIS GUYS A JOKE DID THE CANUCKS A FAVOR
If lindholm can win face offs and feed pasta then it’s a win
52% wins for 8 out of the 11 years he's been in the league. He's been more than 54% for 6 of those 11. EXCELLENT faceoff guy

Access to good information is what we investors needs to progress financially and generally in life. this is a good one and I appreciate.
I agree with you and i believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more
It was quite challenging to understand the different trends on my own until i found out about Gilman. Trading made easy.
Reminder: the Bruins went the other way with the draft picks whilst swinging for the fence with some very good and big prospects. These kids are 17-18 and just getting started...big upside.
I’m hoping Lysell and Poitras can make strides towards that ceiling.
Bruins overpaid for Lindholm because they had no choice...they had too !
LOL YA SURE GUY BOSTON WILL SEE THIS GUYS A JOKE NOT WORTH A MILLION
The thing everyone seems to be forgetting is how well Poitras played on the second line before he got hurt. Assuming he comes back as 2c and Coyle 3c teams looking pretty good with the potential for prospects to come in and fill any roster spots still open for the taking
Lindholm looks like he’s so happy to be here…I’m not so sure that would have been the spirit of Stamkos
I agree. Stamkos will have a sharp decline in points without Kucherov setting him up. He's a power-play specialist at this point in his career.
@brianshaughnessy4020 I argree with you
WELL YA HES GLAD TO BE THERE HES GLAD SOMEONE IS PAYING HIS NO SCORING CONTRACT
Come on . One bad year and the year before he was second in selke. He is Bergeron 2.0 . Under 8 for Lindholm is a great deal
And he will return to form with Pasta
I argree with you
YA GREAT DEAL FOR SOMEONE THAT CANT SCORE GLAD HES OFF OUR CANUCKS WASTE OF MONEY BOSTON WILL SEE THE HARD WAY LOL
I AM SO GLAD THIS GUY IS NO LONGER WITH THE CANUCKS BOSTON WILL SEE WHY OVER PRICED NON SCORING GUY WHAT A JOKE LOL GOODLUCK
Who cares about the money. It’s not mine and also the cap is gonna keep going up
Things to Love:
The Bruins got much bigger, faster, physical and nastier on the the 4th line not too mention on their back end and there's no doubt they are a better team now than they were last year
Zadorov will make the Bruins bigger and tougher to play against while also giving them the best Top 6 depth on defense in the NHL (objectively) while also allowing Lohrei to have some pressure taken off of him as he develops further
Elias Lindholm will also make the Bruins tougher to play against, he’s a legit Top 6 center and he’s arrival also likely means they’ll get more out of both David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha next season
Things not to Love:
Elias Lindholm only scored 6, 5x5 goals last year between Calgary and Vancouver and the past two seasons both his high level numbers and his advanced metrics haven’t exactly been on the right side of “great”, in fact they’ve kind of just been in the realm of “barely good enough”
Again, I love Lindholm but in terms of their overall Top 6 scoring talent it’s hard to really say that they improved very much by just adding Lindholm and subtracting Debrusk
Adds: Elias Lindholm
Subtracts: Jake Debrusk
The last two seasons combined Jake Debrusk has scored 46 goals. Lindholm, 37
Anything else as of right now in their top 6? Um, nope
So again Bruins Homers before you start in
I like Lindholm and he’ll make them better while also helping them to get more out of both Pasta and Zacha. 100% agree with this sentiment
However, he’s not an elite 1c or high end scoring threat (note he’s two elite years were with Tkachuk & Gradeau, so…) and he’s been declining, not ascending from a scoring perspective two years running
AND
No one on planet earth could say with a straight face that the Boston Bruins got infinitely better in terms of their overall Top 6 scoring depth with their moves today by simply swapping out Debrusk’s offense for Lindholm’s
And no homers, I’m not saying Lindholm is a Debrusk replacement.
They moved one Top 6 wing scorer for a Top 6 center scorer. That’s not exponentially improving theie overall Top 6 scoring problem.
They moved out Jake Debrusk’s offense in the Top 6 for Elias Lindholm’s offense in the Top 6
A guy who scored 6, 5x5 goals last year in a full time NHL role while he played with good players in all situations
Also, the term on Zadorov’s contract is kind of puke inducing but the Cap will go up and that’s just a problem Don Sweeney will have to deal with in 2032 or something because odds are, he’s still going to be GM #yikes
It seems as though the Bruins still know that they have to improve in their Top 6 and it sure seems like some other kind of move is coming
I can’t believe they are either going to slot Frederic or Geekie into a Top role, again replicating the problem Sweeney can’t get away from (i.e. playing bottom 6 guys in Top 6 roles)
Or that they are counting on wild cards like Merkulov or Lysell being their 2RW out of camp, which again, seems like it’s not even close to a real option because Merkulov is not a Top 6 NHL player and all of the reports out of PVD from credible sources indicated Lysell isn't going to be ready to be a full time Top 6 player this coming year in Boston
I think another move is coming. I pray another move is coming
The Bruins got better in a lot of areas today, there is not doubt about that. However, They still haven’t done enough to address their overall Top 6 scoring needs because they subtracted one Top 6 player to only add another without doing anything else in the Top 6
Plenty of time left in the off season though…. Let’s hope Don Sweeney can get figure it out

YA THIS IS WHY YOUR NOT A GM THANK GOD FOR THAT GUY SUCKS
I don't know why they don't get rid of Pasta after the playoff he had. This guy is a typical Ove player without a cup. He only cares about his regular season stats so he can get a new contract. I would definitely see what I could get for him if I were the Bruins.

I am (optimistically) hoping for a 60-70 pt season from Zacha, a 70-80 pt season from Lindholm, and a 100+ pt season from Pastrnak
On Zadorov: Yes we needed some bite, and some blood on the blue line, McAvoy is the first pairing, #1 defenseman. He is not a trainer. He should not be making up for typical rookie mistakes. Pairing him with Lohrei down the road might be the way to go, but right now, Lohrei is still learning. He doesn't need to be the dude we rely on in matchups against fucking McDavid or Tkachuck. Zadorov is going to make those guys look twice every two seconds. Giving McAvoy someone who can help defend against McDavid and Tkachuck is going to significantly help us survive those fucking Florida series. To be honest, I think it's also time we bring Lysell up. I agree that DeBrusk wasn't willing to game all the time. Dude was sick when the motor was running. The motor ran twice a year. Naw, bye bye. Thank you for the playoffs performance! Enjoy Vancouver. I am glad we invested in Zadorov instead. He also had a bunch of pts in the recent playoffs.
Florida got worse. I genuinely think that depending on the Zacha - Lindholm - Pastrnak chemistry, we could be contenders. It may also sort of depend on Lysell coming up and not sucking though so who knows!

Mazz...he IS a 2nd line Center !
I don't think either player is a bad signing.I do question if the contracts will age well.
Canucks fan here , Lindholm will most likely be a buyout in 3 years. Calgary Flames fans will confirm . He's arguably not even a 2C on a contender.
but you'll love Zadorov and he will most likely perform to his contract and cap hit.
I hate the fact that Vancouver couldnt get him signed.
I'm support the Lindholm deal without Zadorov. They could have gotten another defenseman and another winger with the money they gave for him. I don't think he is worth it. Why has he bouncing around
if he is so great ( Calgary and Vancouver)?
To me he is overrated.
As if this guy knows . They are a better team with these two guys then we are with out them .
Lindholm is a third line center
Added a great Lindholm now let’s get rid of the stiff Lindholm
i just dont understand why people are againt h. lindholm. he had to take another role this season and now adding zadorov will allow lindy to play his game and return to the offensive powerhouse he was
@@whalehunter9640 The film doesn’t lie…especially down the stretch when things got tough, he absolutely crumby. I can see him being a better player in the West…East is beast!
You can't make these guys happy
Stamkos as good as he is, isn’t even the top 4 player on Tampa…Point, Kucherov, Hedman and the goalie…
Bruins lose some scoring . Zadorov will shore up the defense
Lets see how they play in the PLAYOFFS
H. Lindholm and Zacha need to be traded.
I like it.
Get rid of hampus Lindholm use the cap space for a forward
Thank you. I've been saying that since after game seven against Florida in 2023. Maybe the worst performance by a pro athlete I've ever seen in one game.
@@brianshaughnessy4020They waited too long to trade ullmark, they should have traded debrusk and they are going to blow it with Lindholm he needs to go at this point just to clear the cap space.
Lindholm is a 2c/3c who had one good season in his career..
Bring back Pah Lindholm
At some point if you wanna get something... if your really look for a "fit"... you gotta pay for it... if not you stick with your 🗑can....
Felger sometimes listening to you on zero makes sense!
Bergeron was way better
god these guys are dumb - lindholm will be great. hes not an offensive powerhouse, he will be great and really help on the back end.
These two know nothing about hockey.
Are these guys always clowns? Are they clueless or just play it on tv?
McAVOY disappears EVERY PLAYOFF !
you are a sports reporter you had to google Zadorov. You are a joke
Zadorovs biggest hits in his career are all against evander kane, lol
..get trouba…& u have big bad bruins…on defense!
I hope they can trade Hampus Lindholm, Zadorov is exactly what Boston needs now opponents will have someone to worry about. Elias Lindholm is badly needed a 200 foot player will significantly improve their roster.
This may be the most cogent analysis of the Bruins I have ever heard from this program.
MAZZ, HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A SINGLE ELIAS HINDHOLM GAME? You guys have never watched any of these players yet you comment on a 2 minute you tube video. This show is a muppet show. Mazz is fozzie bear... wucka, wucka
LINDHOLM IS A JOKE YOU STUPID BOSTON FANS WILL SEE
These guys don’t know shit about this sport lol
I don't see an overpayment,
David Krejci $7.25 X6
David Backes $6X6 🤮
Elias Lindholm isn't Backes.
I’d take Lindholm. Stamkos is a pp specialist.
God damn does Mazz not know hockey 😂
Mazz is a baseball guy. I think Felger just asks for his take because he has to.
OH AND YOU DO EHH LOSER LINDHOLM IS THE WORST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY FOR VANCOUVER BOSTON WILL SEE
Maybe alittle to much for lindholm, he's going to be a great fit,also every team would take zadorov,
Boy did the Bruins pay for it....because they CAN'T DRAFT !!!
Kudos to these clowns talking hockey but in the end they have a limited knowledge base of the game, the culture, the intricacies and the intangibles that permeate that sport. They are constantly trying to make metaphors to the other sports to find footing talking about hockey.
SURE BUDDY LINDHOLM IS A JOKE GLAD OUR CANUCKS DUMPED HIM
Mark my words.
Lindholm will be a buyout in 3 years.
3C at best on a contender.
Zadorov is a beast but never in the top 4 in his career.
Bruins fans will love Z and hate L
Yup like the D man finally someone to actually can fight & win & great a great hitter they needed this since St. Louis loss it could’ve helped steal that cup.Lucic heartbreaking but Sweeney’s attempts at trade deadline recently trying to add toughness that they should’ve started those seasons with a player that other teams fear because we’ve had nobody when you have Marchand bergi frigging kerchief are dropping the minutes THATS always a fail!GREAT REGULAR SEASON TEAM BECAUSE THEY PLAY HARD EVERY GAME AND OUT WORK TEAMS RIGHT UP TO THE PLAYOFFS AND THEY ENTER THESE PLAYOFFS EVERY YEAR WITH BERGERON SND HALF THE SKILLED PLAYERS ARE HALF DEAD AND HAVING TINY D ESPECIALLY GRYZ GETS PTSD IN THE PLAYOFFS AND IS SCARED TO DEATH TO GET A PUCK IN THE CORNER OR BEHIND THE NET whoops didn’t realize caps on 😮We have to many soft players since Sweeney has run this team.But you can get a player like Lucic ,Or a tough guy who keeps other teams honest give credit to freddi but he’s not scaring anyone and he’s no match for heavyweights and trade deadline moves is just stupid it costs way to much in draft capital this team idc has a horrible prospect pool and Sweeney should’ve got creative make 3 team deal for an impact player in the offseason and I don’t like his drafts will see this years draft pans out but generally forever picking undersized soft players and putting guys with size but nothing more than a tomato can forbort type on D and pretty much 5 out of the bottom six that are soft I know it’s not the 70’-2011 but he went way to small for years and all it did was get great regular season hard working well coached team and choke .Neely said a few years ago he has no idea why our team gets a ton of concussions (Carlo) and injuries and I LOVED NEELY and that comment from a former player like him shocked me! ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE SOFT AND TEAMS TAKE RUNS AT THEM ALL YEAR LONG !CHARA’s JAW BROKE I KNEW THEYD LOSE! Miss players like Adam mquaid that these 2 bozo’s 24:7 back then they need to get rid this guy and it’s not 2011 anymore when Sweeney took over we don’t need size we need speed crap the B’s went way towards the pussy end of toughness
