Some quick hits today...look for the rumor previews to begin shortly...thanks so much for al the input and conversations regarding yesterday's blog. I got more DMs and emails than I ever have on a subject. Many great ideas...
On Pastrnak...
The Bruins increased their offer to a seven year deal, but are stuck at $6 million per and that simply won't get it done.... a source called it "Miles apart over the life of the deal." I have always thought the conversation STARTS at $7 per and more than likely ends up around 7.5 (or a little less)...
The Bruins don't appear to feel the same way at this point however...This has so much potential for ugly....
How much is Pastrnak worth in your opinion?
Eric Gelinas to Habs Camp...
I like this move a lot... Gelinas has sort of slipped through the cracks but he can be more than a serviceable answer to some of Montreal's issues...and may give them a little depth so they can swing a deal for a center....which is priority #1, #2, and #3 right now in Montreal...
We will discuss all this and more as well as preview the Detroit Red Wings with Kevin Allen from USA Today on today's podcast...
