LabattBlue Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 In a normal year with 20k fans cheering them on, there is no way the Blues go down 2-0 at home to the Canucks. ZERO chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good mix of youth too. Edited August 15, 2020 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be enough though. Reinhart, 8, Montour was one of the big suggestions, which seems more in line. Day-dreaming about finding a way to keep Reinhart because, ya, we'd be good.

Thorny Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I'd pay a lot to make it happen, if we could keep Sam. 8 overall, conditional 1st next season (becomes a second if we are bottom 10), Mittelstadt, Montour. If you were able to re-up Larsson and keep the LOG line together I think we're laughing: Skinner - Eichel - Olofsson Gaudreau - Monahan - Reinhart Johansson - Cozens - Kahun Girgensons - Larsson - Okposo ...hey those are forwards! Dahlin - Jokiharju McCabe - Ristolainen LHD FA - Miller G Trade/FA Ullmark Edited August 15, 2020 by Thorny Of course, to make a move for two players that good and it not cost us Reinhart would probably be a pipe dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 The Bruins have a game at noon and Tuukka Rask just opted out ? Obviously good for him on making the tough call since he has a new baby at home. But man... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is not important in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps there are issues with his child/partner that he does not wish to disclose at this time.

If they were doing the MLB method opting out could be odd, but I'm surprised more players didnt opt out given the bubble and its rules, especially if your team is good and might stick around a while. No way you could pull me away from a newborn for months on end for anything 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally understand and support this from human side. And my ***** Sabres fanboy side loves what it could do to the Bruins, on and off the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
