(frank)ing Lou should've held out, damn him. I'm sure we could've signed him to a better deal.

Nah, Lou's out of touch and KHL is sniffing around


(frank) McGran and all the sensationalist Toronto media for trying to make up a non-story

(frank)ing ingrates. Scum of the earth

- WingmanWillie


Wrong, they got the deal done because the media was making such a big deal about it.

McCann is a good prospect and I like both yandle and demers.

good adds for FLA

- Lucas.Neilson


I know Lucas, I'm just trying to take Bruiniaki's side because somebody needs to.

panthers added:
McCann and marchessault for depth up front
and demers, yandle on the back end
reamer as backup

they had a great off season to add to their already playoff roster.

- Lucas.Neilson


I get that. They added Yandle as a number 2 which is great as Ekblad is unreal.

Kulikov and Gudbranson are better than Demers and Pysyk IMO. With Petrovic as well, they have a bunch of puck movers with little to no toughness/ physicality. Rowe went full on analytics when building this group. I think it's a good group for the regular season.

Montreal also didn't make the playoffs yet many of you seem to say they are a better team than Boston. I don't see it. Florida I can see why people but Montreal and Ottawa? Come on.
- Bruiniak

You're such a homer

We don't have any beef with Bruins fans, but you a vastly over evaluating the Bruins.

My favourite quote so far was when you said the Bruins already had their rebuild HAHAHAHA

Like the Penguins right?

Answer that one. How many tough Dmen did they have, and how many puck movers?

Your concept of how to build a contender is archaic.

Another (small) matter is that most of these deals include a signing bonus (usually around $90k) which is great for the kids who have come through junior hockey and not received a single hockey-related paycheck in their lives... Auston just went out and got himself a $400k contract last year, so not in quite the same need to get his hands on a little cash.

Seems that Shanny was good to his word
