I'd keep Bart as a 7th guy next season. You'll probably be able to sign him for short money. At the moment, if anyone in Providence was really challenging for a spot I imagine he would've been brought up. I think Seidenberg will continue to improve. He did have major knee surgery and it usually takes most athlete's a year to really get right, fitness freak or not.

Smith can't walk as he is an RFA but for (frank) sakes! Let him go to arbitration! It's isn't like when Sinden took Borque to arbitration. We're taking about a fringe NHLer here. I don't care if there was an agreement with him an PC. Unless the agreement was to be tepid, then he's knocking it out of the park. Bravo?

Offseason I let McQuaid, Campbell and Paille walk. The I look to move either Eriksson or Lucic(preferably) clear space and bring in outside help on D.

Who? I don't know. I don't anything without Capgeek (please come back to us)

My bad, I meant walk via trade, send to minors, just get him off the damn ice basically. He has improved a bit, but he seems like he just doesn't care too much. I loved the guy after last season, picked him up in fantasy the first night, but he's done little noteworthy this season.

I don't see a reason to trade Erik or Looch. Erik is finally coming into form and leads all offensive players in time on ice. Lucic is inconsistent but what do you really expect in a return for him? Someone else's broken package or picks? This team is too close to being back to an elite team to move a main piece for picks/prospects. Healthy Bruins with the addition of Connolly coming in and gelling in nicely, and I don't see why they have no chance at a cup this year, or next.

(Sorry for my emotional favoritism overconfident biasness BS)

Try this Glove, just have to do some math, I think dothedougie is good at that lol.

Not even with all the help from Colin Campbell is that worth it. It's time to move on from Campbell.

First of all- Spooner shifting to wing is a horrible idea
Second of all- Lucic on the 4th line is a horrible idea
Third of all- No idea what Connelly is made of
Fourth of all - What glove said

- Videoj



I wonder if Krejci can play the wing??
why is lucic on the 4th a bad idea ...he scores 50 goals a season?? and is an offensive machine ..lolll
Connelly on the 3rd with yeti and eriksson will be awesome ..cant wait

That wenis DJ Bean wrote an article for weei and was pointing out that Spoons and Pasta have been playing third line matchups, which may help them with the point production.

So, Soderberg's line has been playing second line minutes, and just as he did earlier in the season when Krejci was injured, he hasn't looked good with first or second line match ups.

I hope Clode does not do as he suggested and play Spooner on the fourth line though.........you think these guys would have learned by now.

Playing a Spooner with players like Stone Hands is not going to make any sense. Hell, Paille was playing with Bergy and STILL couldn't get points, so how is Spooner going to help him?

I wish Lucic would be played on the third line. He is perfect for the third line, especially with his inability to leave it all on the ice every game. So it would allow him to keep his feet moving with fewer minutes and he would eat up the lesser talent.

Marchand - Bergy - Smith
Ericksson - Krejci - Yeti/Connolly
Lucic - Spooner - Pasta
Talbot - Kelly - Ferlin

Wishful thinking........

I don't know where your sarcasm starts and ends, but;

Krejci is one of the premier playmaking centers in the league with a very high faceoff percentage, that's why. Another reason could be because he's our number one center.

And no, along with every other player in the league, Lucic doesn't get fifty goals> However, he is a 60 point player, so that's why him on the 4th line is a worse idea than signing Campbell for 2.5 Million/year.
