Why do you guys dislike him? Isles fans loved him

This could be true. Their fans hate him but who knows how Babcock/Lou view him
- Nucker101

Every game I see him he is very active

we have a lot of depth at winger. he's just lost his job.

he's good at what he does, but not needed anymore.

i think the best fit will be in Arizona after we pay out his july bonus. they could use him to replace rinaldo.

They waived their toughest guy(J.T. Brown).

They’re (frank)ed in the playoffs.

Bruins will win anyways

Not sure I’d be laughing. If Martin gets moved then Babcock is likely going to demand Gudbranson. And guess who you’ll be bidding against?





If the playoffs started today I’d put decent money on Boston. They’re like 59-19-9 since Cassidy became coach and are way tougher than TOR/TB/PIT.

I agree. Rules change in the playoffs. They can score, defend and run you out of the building.

There’s a reason Babcock wants a tough dman

They look like cup winners .The Big Z is still the league bad ass

Bergeron - Krejci are still a great 1-2 punch
Marchand/Pastrnak are studs
Backes is still solid, a great 3LC or a solid 2RW DeBrusk is playing well for them

McAvoy, Chara, Krug, Miller, McQuaid on the back end

Rask in net

If they add another forward for secondary scoring, they’ll be a nightmare

i still think tampa is the team to beat. i think they will go balls out and will get karlsson or mcdonagh and Nick Rash. TB will be a very difficult team to beat. not the leafs year this year.

boston is a good team. they have a monster last ~35 days, so they may not be so healthy by the time playoffs start.

i could see snow wanting EG. if the price is more than leivo and a 2nd, hold on to martin until july and let the isles have EG.

How many games have you seen him play

He is not my first choice but he is my second or third

He is one of the best 4 th liners in the game
- VANTEL

No.

By most metrics, he's been one of the worst for years.

As usual there will be a number of really good players available at 32-40.

I just hope they continue to prioritize skill over intangibles with their high picks.

I know, that's what I mean I'm not sure id a second is worth the cap dump. I guess that's pretty good pick

Probably the last playoff team I’d expect to trade for him.

They did that all last draft. Sometimes you need to grab a specialty

Why not get a bit of both? They did it with Lind/Gadjovich/Gaudette

It’s been proven over and over again that guys who aren’t stars on their jr teams almost never become good NHL’ers, outside of a very few late bloomers, 4th liners and 6/7 dmen.

I can’t comment on the player you guys are discussing but I assume he can skate and move the puck if he’s ranked as a high 2nd round dman.

I’m just sick of wasting even late round picks on guys like Stewart/Gunnarsson/Petit/Cederholm/Etc

Just draft guys who actually have NHL skill/potential.

You can sign similar/better guys for free like Chatfield/Holm/MacEwen

sweeney is just crazy enough to do it.
