TrueBlueGED Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Chara anyone? I'm not giving up anything significant for a stop-gap solution, and I doubt they move him for cheap. The timing is just off for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thwomp! Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Anyone think the Bruins would part with Krug? He's on a one year deal looking for a long term deal after the season. Also a left handed shot which we could use. If Bruins are rebuilding they may not want to do a long term contract with alot of money tied up in Krug.

I don't see him as a piece they'd want to move just because. Krug, Pastrnak and Bergeron are pretty much non-starters I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Eric Boulton signs for another year on the Island. Garth Snow had me worried there for a second, thought he'd lost his mind and become throughly competent... http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/islanders-eric-boulton-agrees-to-one-year-deal-with-isles/ Side note, and this probably deserves to be a thread for July when everyone's dying of boredom, but he is probably one of my least-favorite former Sabres players ever. Nobody will ever top Gilmour on that scale for me, but Boulton's up there. How has he possibly lasted this long in this league?

It feels like he has been gone for 15+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did much in a Sabres uni or thereafter to make anyone hate him. Do you just think he's ugly? Awfully fond of the cheap shot. In particular, he steamrolled Sekera from behind while with the Devils, maybe 4-5 years ago? Promptly turtled on McCormick as well in the aftermath IIRC. Garbage player. Didn't like it when he wore the Sabres sweater either. Could skate in a straight line like the wind, though. I'll say one positive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that's true, but even the top 6 looks exactly the same. Can't get it out of their zone, bad through the neutral zone, no possession time in the offensive zone, and messing up 2 vs 1's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of McDavid, even if it takes a bit more time for him than expected, he's still a huge upgrade over their 2C last season (he who shall not be named). I think they're probably one of the teams I'm going to follow this year out of pure curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
