Keep Claude. There isn't a better option in my opinion. Let's trust Sweeny to bring in the pieces needed to keep the puck on the right side of our blue line. Given Spooner's development this year maybe Krejci could be used in order to bring in a stud on the back end. I also like what the college kids are bringing to the table as of late. That's pretty good scouting if you ask me. We have plenty of young forward prospects, so it only makes sense to deal from our strengths and address our weaknesses. I know everyone is calling for Sweeney and Claude to get gassed but maybe let's wait and see what can be done in the offseason in regards to moves and upgrades. I think it would be a mistake to fire Claude, and Sweeny has only been at the helm for a year. We have time for a retooling. The core is still in their prime.
Trade Rask as well. He may fetch a kings ransom considering how many of the posters on here are blinded by what the mainstream media writes. Many think he is a top 5- 10 tender in the league.
I do not.

Rask is not the problem, is he a little overpaid? yes, but not by much, and less overpaid than kelly was. He is an elite goalie, and without a number 1 net minder, your (frank)ed. Don't make us list the wasteland of goalies the bruins had between Andy moog and tim thomas. Maybe they should have held onto Jones after trading Lucic, but really, who are you gonna replace him with? Gustofson? Subban?

I agree that CJ is a great coach and he will not last long on the open market. I think, however that if there is a another high caliber coach (not Milbury!) available then the Bruins should pursue that option. That last game against Ottawa really bothered me. The Bruins never had that sense of urgency or intensity right from the puck drop in a game that was essentially their game 7. As Ty mentions, it's not the first time the Bruins under CJ failed to come up big in a very important game. Can you blame the coach for that? Absolutely, he shoulders a significant part of the blame for his inability to motivate and lead his troops. I just think his shelf life has expired in Boston.
And my hunch is that he's coached his last game in Boston.

I knew that Krejci was not playing at 100%, glad to hear that he's going for the surgery that he maybe should of had last season. I see a lot of comments about trading 46, which I cannot fathom. Firstly, he has a NTC so he would have to OK it.
Secondly, he is the catalyst for a lot of our offense. The Bruins go as Krejci goes. To suggest that Spooner could replace him with little or no degradation is completely wrong. Spooner is a good 3rd line center, but he will never be a David Krejci. When will this guy get a little respect from Bruins fans?
For my part, from this generation of Bruins who won us a cup I think a 46 hanging in the rafters would not look out of place beside a 37 and a 33.

I dunno, when he acts like season matters? He's not a 7.5 mil player, and I doubt he would have gotten that in the open market. I look at his contract as the reason Boychuck was traded. Right now i'd rather have Boychuck than Krejcki.

Everyone needs to go. Claude's a great coach, but it's time for this group to head in a new direction. Their headed to disaster territory at this rate. Time to put some new guys in place who can be here long term. Don Sweeney is NOT the GM of the future, and Neely making any more decisions will continue to butcher this team. Even Scott Bradley and JFJ are complete morons. Like I said, everyone needs to go

Changed your mind from a few days ago eh? You tore me apart when I said to get rid of krejci. it Is the most logical move to make for this team, besides getting rid of Chara

Dave Cameron has been fired, CJ will get a job in Ottawa if he is fired.

Is Joe Haggerty a reputable guy?

He tweeted something that was of interest.

Checking for a friend of course....

I don't like most of his opinions, as I think he is way off mark on them. He does live in Boston so maybe he is closer to the team than I think. He seems to write fodder and nonsense just to get clicks. As for reputable? I wouldn't think so.

I asked because of this.

Joe Haggerty ‏@HackswithHaggs
Sometimes tough to gauge the validity of these things, but there are whispers of Jimmy Vesey interest in Buffalo, and playing w/Jack Eichel

Sounds like Bos/Buf/Tor race

Which means he will sign somewhere completely different.

Reputable is a strong word for Haggs, most of his stuff has as much validity as Eklund.

I respect him for that. He's one of the only bruins writers/reporters that is realistic and tells it how it is
