mjd1001 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I could see Zemgus on that team. Fitting in, maybe signing an extension and staying there for a couple more years.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Either of them would be an excellent contributor on that roster. But Boston's up against the cap... so what Bjork-level contract shedding would GM Sheevyn be taking this time? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Lee Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 This isn't surprising to me. Although they are frequently pilloried by Sabre fans as being replacement-level 4th liners, any objective review of the 4th lines of NHL playoff level teams, most-definitely including the Bruins, reveals that Okposo and Girgensens would be upgrades to many rosters. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 For the love of God please trade Girgs to a contender. The guy was drafted in 2012 and has never seen a playoff game. No one has suffered more in the NHL. Je has been a loyal soldier who hasn’t complained. I would love to see him in a playoff run and it ain’t happening in Buffalo anytime soon. Same for Okposo. Let’s see if anyone steps into a leadership role with him out the door. Would find out a lot about this team. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmoe Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Great... another Bjork or Clifton incoming. I hate deals for guys that actually hurt us, rather than help us and Adams last two transactions with the Bruins have yielded exactly that.

Would find out a lot about this team. Honestly, when the playoffs start, I'd root for the Latvian Locomotive to get a Cup regardless of his jersey colors. (But, you know, please move him to Vancouver rather than Toronto/Boston... so at least I don't feel conflicted.) 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate deals for guys that actually hurt us, rather than help us and Adams last two transactions with the Bruins have yielded exactly that. Clifton was not a trade, he was a free agent. Clifton has helped us. I just don't get all the Clifton hate on this board. Yes, he made some errors, fell twice and had two pucks deflect off of him, but overall he has been pretty good. Took time to adjust to DG's "system" (whatever that is) and went from a minus 8 to a plus 5 so far. That is not easy to do playing on a 3rd pairing role on a team that cannot score goals. It is a real indicator that he has played well. Decent on the PK, willing to hit hard and move people. I like him for what he is. You wanna be disappointed in the defense this year - look at drop off in play of Muel and Power first. Both have been mishandled, per usual with the Sabres. Bjork was a flier throw in on the Hall trade and never any more than a AHL/NHL tweener. You want to complain about a player, Hall is your man. He basically quit on the team and waited for the trade deadline while cashing in on a big contract via a friendship with Krueger. What a waste he was. One of my most least respected players to ever wear the Sabres crest is Taylor Hall. Edited February 11 by Pimlach 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 2 hours ago, Brawndo said: Sabres AGM Jason Karmanos has been at the past two Bruins Games Could handle Okposo being a Bruin because it would be for the playoff run and MAYBE 1 more year. PLEASE, Adams, do not trade Girgensons there. Like the guy. (Realize it's best for him and the team for him to move on to let the younger leaders make this their team, but not happy about it.) Do NOT want to see him helping the Bruins do well for the next 4-6 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my most least respected players to ever wear the Sabres crest is Taylor Hall. Note I said transaction, not trade. Clifton is last on the team in relative expected goal %. We'd be far better with him out of the lineup and R Johnson in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
