Minus Lazar, who everyone likes but is a bottom of the roster guy, the trades we’re extremely typical of a bottom dweller team looking to unload UFAs at the deadline.

He did fine at the deadline. Sheesh.

False

Yes and all the dinosaurs in the league will overlook how ***** awful he is at actual hockey and covet him because he can move a puck 3 feet in any direction when their isn’t any actual hockey taking place. Woohoo! Faceoff king! He’s better than Reinhart. He actually sucks at defense and the PK too. Just a black hole of nothingness. ***** Curtis Lazar. And really ***** the lottery ticket machine Taylor Hall. I’m starting to think it’s no coincidence that whatever team he plays on wins the lottery.

It was definitely not legitimate on my part.

Obviously with Sam’s FO %, he can’t play center in the league.

Yeah. Slide Jack into Sam’s slot and put Sam in Eakins spot and we are all of a sudden talking about an NHL lineup.

To follow along with the trope, the Bruins aren’t playing Kevyn Adams.

Skinner has been taking most of the draws on Reino’s wing so do we really need to have this conversation?

FWIW, I remember RK saying similar stuff but Holy Schnikies did he ever fail the execution part.

Can we shoot this thread into the sun already? 🤢

The eye test tells me they are playing a much better brand of hockey but as @#freejame said, let’s see how they do against some good teams. Missing Jack and Jake also has to be factored into the equation.

I’m not saying Granato IS the right guy but I’d like to see how the rest of the season goes. He’s better than the last 3 dopes we’ve endured albeit on a limited sample size.

I think all this conjecture without knowing all the nuances of the negotiations and conversations is just verbal *****.

Julien Edelman is retiring. Good riddance. One of the biggest POS I can remember.

Ralph is a hack. We’ve seen glimpses of Montour’s actual game the last couple of weeks. He’s a good offensive defenseman. His defense will always be an issue. They may already have one.

I heard Kevyn sigh at an inappropriate time during his press conference. He needs to be fired immediately.

Don’t worry, he has the huge obstacle know as Matt Irwin ahead of him on the depth chart. If you can’t count on bringing up your depth when they are ready, when should you count on them?

They moved 4 players, 3 of which were pending UFAs. Did any other teams move more players?

FWIW, Craig Reevay said he talks to Mike Weber, assistant coach is Rochester, who told him that Mattias is ready for the NHL now. Nothing I’ve seen from their games tells me otherwise. He would instantly be the most physical defenseman this side of Risto or Borgen.

Yeah Samuelsson is much closer with his overall game. Laaksonen is nice offensively but his D is bad. I have high hopes but he needs serious improvement.

Does this mean he’s playing Fortnite again

Curtis Lazar is having the best season of all of them. Let that sink in.

Paul Hamilton said the Lazar / Bjork swap is purely salary related. They couldn't take on Hall’s salary with shedding some, somewhere. Apparently, the 600k difference between the two is enough.
