I agree but Seguin was NOT a good fit here. the kid is too immature and he has been sat down before. the kid loves to party! He is always drinking at the clubs even during the playoffs, i don't blame the kid, if I was his age i would too but when the cup is so close, blacking out is not what I'd be doing. kid has off ice drinking/partying issues.

EDIT: you might want to listen to Chia-pets interview about the trade all he does is praise the guys

This! Anything they did to Joe Thornton was in the dark days(Sinden, O'Connell), pre-Chiarelli & Neely. I still hate the return they got for Jumbo but, he simply cannot win and step up and when it matters. Ask any SJ fan. Good riddance.

Seguin is the biggest winner here, in terms of women. He just went from partying with "Boston 10's" to "Dallas 10's" in better weather.

Looks as if Im in the minority with my Opinion, because I think this trade SUCKS, I hate it What the Hell is Harvard doing, this kid was the future of this franchise along with Hamilton, The only way this deal gets done is Seguin must have had words with Chiarelli / Claude or someone on the Team, you just don't go trading away a 21-year old that LED your team in Scoring and Goals last year. I'm telling you this is NOT a good deal, This is personal and the better player in the deal is Seguin.

That's why he is gone.

So true

Oh yeah! HAHDAH HADAH!!!

kinda risky for the Bruins, looks pretty even in next 1-2 years, then hard to say. To me, the key will be how those 3 propects develop and who they pick up with the extra cap space, thats the missing element thus far. Also, I think Seguin must've told somebody in Bruins organization to go F themselves recently, this seemed to really come on quick.

Your philosophy on hockey works 99% of the time. not with this team though. leading scorers mean little to the bruins, this is a complete team. we might not have a guy who has 50 goals but the bruins will have the entire team in double digits for goals. you know PC and Claude build for a complete team not build around a center piece or a future player. Guys like Bergeron and Chara and Rask they are who you build around because they are 2 way players who work well in this TEAM.

Eriksson has avg 29.5 goals a year over the last 4 years or something like that, and Seguin IS A CENTRE, he isnt going to play that position with Krejci and Bergeron.

Would you have rather traded Bergeron or Krejci and moved Seg to centre on the top 2??? I know i sure as hell wouldnt

And the bruins went on to win a cup afterwards, no biggy. cap management is a real thing in todays NHL, this is an unfortunate side of it. Its not all to do with "off ice issues"
- MrBeanTown

Chia backed himself into a corner with this one, paid guys more than they were worth (pevs) or hoping they would "grow" into their contract like seguin and looch. Seguin did no show in the playoffs, but to be honest, chara's play led to more goals being scored on b'z in the end than seguin, and he's gonna be older and slower after four series of playoffs next time. I'm just ...... Disappointed.

it did come on fast for sure, but I think it was a business and hockey decision and in the end the right one. I do hope we get a nice piece in Fa though, as that would make the deal all that much better.

also, noticed your in Freddy, good to see a B's fan here with me in NB lol

Time will tell. If Seguin reaches his ceiling then yes you're 100% correct. But in the now Eriksson is going to produce.

Lucic/Krejci/Eriksson
Marchand/Bergeron/???
???/Soderberg/???
Paille/Campbell/Thornton

Chara/Boychuck
SeidenBerg/Bartkowski/Hamilton
McQuaid/Krug/Hamilton

13th forward
7th D-man(Redden?)

Rask
Svedberg

It's time PC uses the Compliance buyout on Kelly and makes a push for Clarkson. The guy is Bruin in the Devil's sweater.

Compliance period ended yesterday at 5PM.... if kelly goes it's via trade

i love Clarkson, but if he want's more than 5M a year, no thank you

i feel ya though, I would have liked that contract gone, but hes a good player nd a leader at 3M a team might trade for him

From a Boston side, I don't like it... Seguin was acting like a stupid kid, but I think he was salvagable. I think Boston should have committed to him and worked him off of his bad habbits. Hell, they gave him that massive contract, they should have stuck with him as the big time scorer on that team for years to come. Seguin, Horton, Ferrence, and Peverly (my favorite) are all gone now.

Its not looking good for Boston, those are all core guys from that championship team. Not to mention Bergeron is going to need a new contract next year, and he's going to need to get paaaaaid.

Blueline is either too raw (Hamilton, Krug, Bartkowski, Morrow) or starting to wind down in the next few years like unfortunately Chara. I know he's a monster but you have to wonder how many years he can play 30 minute playoff games and block a million shots before his body starts to deteriorate. I'm rooting for the B's but I'm nervous about this team going forward.

I got your back on this, it does suck.

I mean really, what the hell is going on here, There's no doubt that Seguin IS THE BEST player in the deal with upside of a Top 3 center in the entire league for the next 10 years, Ericcson has been in the leauge for what 7-years and he is what he is, he's Kelly in his 20 goal year of 2012. Not to mention that during an 82 game schedule you are goingto be in shootouts at least 12 times a year or more, Seguin will no longer be scoring the only goal of the shoot-out Tale off the black n gold glasses and wake up. This trade was PERSONAL and it Sucks.

I think you're severely underrating Eriksson and what he going to bring here. At this point I would not want to move or sacrifice Krejci or Bergeron to shoe horn Seguin into his natural spot.

Horton, there is nothing they can do . He wanted to leave

You're right Chara can't play 30+ every year, but then again if Seguin, Marchand and Jagr could have finished it would have meant a world of difference.

Krug and Bart played well. Hamilton I'm so not sure about yet. I think some time in Providence would really help but with all this time off and training camp it will be interesting to see how he responds. To me the future looks just as bright as it ever did.

As long as they stay the (frank) away from Iggy, I'm happy.

EDIT: They're working on a Bergeron extension too.

I hope you're right about Eriksson, because I could see him fitting well with Bergeron and Krejci since they're all kind of in the same age group. But yeah, Iggy would suck, I really hope that doesn't happen.

They do have a lot of good prospects, so maybe they could a make a move for a roster player who can play right now. I think this is their time to make a run, while Chara can still be a superstar. I'm just disappointed about trading away Pevs cause he was a guy who could do everything for them and was a great part of that team.

I got frustrated a lot with Perverly and Kelly this year. Peverly is good all around guy, and excelled on the PK. That's the biggest loss for B's in regards to Pevs. Problem is at 3.5 mil he was wildly inconsistent and has one the most inaccurate shots I've seen this side of Glen Wesley. If he was signed for what he is worth, 1.5 area then he would never have been on the block IMO.

You make solid points but really with this poop? Have you watched Eriksson at all?
- One_Eyed_Sweede

No I haven't I remember NHL GM's drooling all over the Kid in his rookie season and then Nothing, haven't even heard his name. so I do admit I don't really know what to expect. However in the 2012 NHL Season Seguin was a guy that brought you off your seat everytime he touched the Puck and there is no denying that.

Eriksson is the best player in the deal here. (with a cap hit of ONLY $4.25)

Seguin will be good for Dallas as they need youth to rebuild.

Peverley and Joe Morrow are pretty even.

Dude Really ?
- BruinBlood

Just look at what Krejci and Bergy bring to this team!!!!

You have some mad Seuin love going on, yes he is VERY talented, but they dont always mesh in a certain system. bergy and Krejci play the system and do it well and preform lights out in the playoffs as well!
