You have to quit repeating yourself about this false narrative that the Pegula's forced TM to make the bad trades for Kane, ROR and Lehner. He was hired because he sold the Peg's on his vision and convinced them his plan would get them to the playoffs and would be contenders right away.
He was nothing but a snake oil salesman.

GMTM was 2-3 years early on the rebuild. I never faulted him for making those trades to get two needs and good players in Kane and ROR, it just did not work out. Isnt this what we are begging Jbotts to do right now?

Imagine if we still had Kane & ROR on the team and did not have Dahlin, would we really care that much if we didnt have Dahlin?

Top#2 lines

Skunk, jack, Goaloffsson
Kane, ROR, Skinner

Now those would be 2 set lines....

The problem with the trades at the time is we had nothing to put around them, we gave up 1/2 are farm system to get them. It would be nice to have them know, but that really doesn't matter cause the Pegula's wanted them gone.

I read the rumors about Risto for Roslovic and agree that would be horrible. Here's an update from Spector's page:

Would Miller for Roslovic make sense?

- adambuffalo


Considering Miller isn't in the future plans I would do it but I'm greedy and would like a pick included coming back.

FWIW Roslovic (9-10 in 51 games) would be 7th in team scoring and 5th in goals.

"After speaking with David, we have agreed that it is in the best interest of David and the Bruins for him not to play in Providence at this time. David is fit and able to play, but in order to preserve all potential options for both David and the Bruins moving forward, we have decided this is the best course of action."

Y'all can talk about needing this player or that player or this coach or that coach all you want but it is all about the ATTITUDE of this organization.... period!!!!! Culture change is the most important thing right now... Until that changes a team with 20 Eichels on it will not win....
- rapperray


this is fairly accurate, and it has to come with a consistent vision from the top on down.

Every person in the organization has to be on the same page that losing is not acceptable.

Signing Skinner was a mistake.

Hell of a trade, nightmare of a contract.
