This just shows he has pride in the usa but not for the hockey team that makes his and his family set for life.
Love the Idea of Fabbro on the team. I would much rather take a chance on a guy like Kuzmenko, who doesn't cost 14 million and was a point per game in the playoffs with the kings. I think he would fit perfect and we wouldn't be in cap hell. I really want Jake Allen as well. If Swayman has another bad year, Allen has proven that he can take over that starting job. He is also a veteran presence who has seen it all. Add Fabbro, Allen and Kuzmenko and I think we will see a big improvement. Not a stanley cup roster yet, but retooling in the right direction and we would still have money for next season
Kuzmenko could be a star forward Scott. He actually showed some heart in the playoffs. Lets not copy the leafs and sign a bunch of guys to giant contracts who fold like lawn chairs in the playoffs
Scott thinks were a stanley cup contender with Marner as our 2nd best forward. He was like the 3rd or 4th best forward on the leafs and they couldn't get passed the second round
I love you're honesty Brian
a 2nd Rd pick AND Lysell ? Massive overpay….
Marner means playoffs next year I guess but to me he is not a winning player. Id rather get guys that you can win with in the playoffs and build towards that. Build a team that can make you an atractive destination for the missing piece (a first line center)
Brian= rebuild and shoot for meh, as u need 5 years for this
Scott= diamonds and rookies in bottom six.
Go Bs!!!
Where is the woman of color coaching candidate?
Above take is the most brain dead take of all time. I was ashamed to be a bruins fan this year and still am because of guys like this. Somehow Sway is expected to put up numbers with the worst defensive group I’ve seen collectively wear a Bs sweater. This goalie hate has always been a joke in Boston. Tukka wins a vezna and gets treated like trash. It doesn’t matter how good the goalie is when you have 6 defensemen that might as well be traffic cones.
Assuming no one wants MOST of our players in trades, Marner is the way to go because of his skills/points production and won't cost us any draft picks or players. Since we can't fix everything in one season, my prefer line up now which is a little bit different from previous suggestion
Geekie – Lindholm – Pastrnak
Zacha – Middelstadt – Marner (just pay him)
Khusnutdinov – Minten – Tuch ($4.75M, UFA 26-27 – trade him for Lysell and a 2nd)
Kopek – Kastelic – Lauko
Poitras
Lohrei – McAvoy
Lindholm – Jokiharju
Zadorov – Peeke
Callahan
Swayman (Will trade him if other teams are looking for goalie before his no trade kicks in after next season)
Korpisalo
If I ever see another Geico commercial!
i don't like Marner for the Bs. Just a gut feeling. He's talented but the intangibles just aren't there. Could get two really solid players that fit better in the lineup for the cost of one Marner.
