That’s funny - cus according to capfriendly - they’ll have 33mil when it comes time to resign Petey - he’s not going anywhere.
Right now the JT, Boeser, Garland, Hughes and Demko are the only contracts on the books at that time - we’ll see who’s still around - but I think you’re delusional.
I think Petey will be an extended the moment they can and he’ll be made captain.

What are they livid about? That they would have traded him if it meant getting a center?

Wonder if they could have looped in a third team... JTM to Pitts > Pitts picks to other team > Canucks get C from other team and other player(s)

Every time I post his videos people get mad

But yeah I really agree with his point that the Hronek move is intended to convince Petey to re-sign

Another team that will struggle in the PO's.
- LordHumungous

Ya think? Why? They got it all and that was before they made some pretty savvy trades this week. Who’s going to give them trouble?

NYR? I think they will struggle in the playoffs.
Hurricanes? I don’t think they are better than the Bruins.
Leafs?
Devils? I think many people are surprised they have done as well as they have this season. They are up and coming but this ain’t their year.
Lightning? Their time is over.

I just don’t see the Bruins being challenged by any of these top contenders in the east.

The 1st round in the east is going to be some epic hockey.

I will also add that even though I think it stings losing two top 40 picks I also think Canucks drafting sucks big time. I don't trust JR at all, and Allvin reminds me of JR's yes man.

My reaction to losing two top picks is probably more of a knee jerk when in the long run until this team gets better at drafting might be the best result of the picks.

Lazar to NJ for a 4th in 2024

I understand why they did it but don't like how much they paid. I have been saying they can make significant change in the next two years so the move does not surprise me.

Bear to me is like Stecher. If you have them in your top 4 you are a bubble team or less. I don't have anything against him personally but look at him as an ugly girlfriend.

Who would I have targeted?

For me it is not who I would have targeted but how I would have targeted a trade. RHD are like gold and in most cases if developed properly can bring in a boatload in a trade. I see Fabro who was drafted mid first and now the asking price is a first if you want him and he is not that good. I would have drafted the best RHD with every pick outside of the top five in this year's draft. You only need to hit on one or two a year.

I would buy out OEL this year and and trade Myers this summer and would have bought two middle of the road RHD this year and kept my draft picks.

Not angry with the trade I just don't like the cost.
- VANTEL

I agree - I hate the cost - I would’ve like to draft a center with the first, and two d with tens NYI pick and our second. But it’s a gamble.

Getting rid of OEL and Myers is gonna create some massive holes - hopefully for the better bcus they’re both garbage but again they play against top players and log huge mins every night.

the price for Hronek was huge and I hate it but it’s the beginning of changing the back end and it’s a great start realistically, considering we have control of a proven player for potentially 5-10 years.

It’s a Tough situation given the fact they have to convince Petey and Hughes to stick around and the chances of trading each of those players and hoping you can redraft players of their calibre is fawking highly unlikely. It’s just not realistic, no matter how easy people here think it is.

I think there’s this mentality that drafting RHD automatically means that they’re gonna be good or valuable players - It’s mental. Again, look around the league- I can think of a handful of decent RHD /it’s rare to find decent ones that move the needle - my point is that no matter who you trade for or draft - Bear is the norm.

300% I don’t watch many eastern game but I’m looking forward to catching as many as I can during the first round. Should be some excellent hockey.

We all waste more than that, but to waste time here AND 23 minutes there? No thank you

You can't fall much more than how they were this year.

Don't get me wrong I am happy with the direction. I think Kravstov was a very good signing. I don't know enough about Hronek but again I don't like the price at first sight.

It just seems like this management failed on a few moves like Boeser and the length of Miller and even Lazar now being traded when signed to a three year deal. It looks like a lot of back peddling but the good thing is they are not sitting back on their mistakes and letting them expire.

It's going to be amazing. Eastern games are the only ones I can really watch in Europe without staying up til dawn, so I'm amped
