What will happen when they get punched in the face ?

The Bruins will get a penalty.

Kid was crushed when not made the captain. Was never the same after that. Sad as he was a young Scott Stevens in the making.

I think it probably had more to do with his inability to skate at the pace the new NHL requires.

I like how the arena pumped noise into the arena with the "Leafs suck" so once play resumed the Leafs fans in the crowd started a Go Leafs Go chant.

Lol, "Schenn intentionally shot that wide... At least I hope that was intentional". Nope, sorry, probably not intentional.

Yeah, good for Dubas. It's a good thing because with our expensive stars, we need that cheap depth.
- Thecakeisalie


And the reality is, you should pay your stars and be cheap with the bottom 6. Overpaying for average players is death.

Moore at 750 K next 2 years is fantastic value.

Canucks for some reason are paying Jay Beagle 3 million and he has 3 years left.

Yeah, too slow by far for the changing league was his biggest problem for sure.

He was slow when he was drafted.

Also poor player development choices: I remember when they had him bulking up at like 235 his 2nd year; that's not a good playing weight at all for his height/frame.

That was always odd. He was already big and slow, and put on ridiculous weight in 1 offseason. Thanks Burkie!

Just look at what they’re paying Eriksson.

as a rookie he could pick up and throw anyone in the league. might as well get even bigger and stronger over the first off-season i guess lol.

went from slow to completely stationary in one summer.

It's exactly how a smart GM should build a team. So far I think Dubas is doing a great job. Sure, we can criticize a few little details, like people wanting a little more toughness in the lineup, but for the most part, he's doing an excellent job.

UFAs aside from Tavares, who is a talent you never see available, are horrible to sign. The only good ones are like Ennis who will sign cheap to re-establish their careers.

Sure, he was always a bit slow, but the league really emphasized more on speed since he entered the league too, which didn't help him one bit.

Also encouraging him to get even bigger, well, truculence, lol.
