The Bruins certainly do a hell of a job recruiting these kids out of college.

This spell the end of Krug? Bruins have a lot of d in the pipeline. Gotta think this year is over. I don’t want to undervalue Krug, but the f.n. Salary cap, now w Gryzlic they have two “Tory Krug” types behind the real thing

Good question

I hate when you’ve only read a name, pronounce it a certain way in your head for months, find out you were pronouncing it wrong all the time and then have to break the habit

Marchand was a tough one because he waited years to correct anyone!

Guess it depends on how much he is asking, and for how long.

If he's looking for more than 6.5 than I'd say it's adios muchachos.

I will continue to mis-pronounce Marchand. We went too long saying it wrong.

That’s correct.

The announcers pronounced it Marsh-and for like 2 or 3 years IIRC.

Either way you slice it, it seems like they got a couple good signing here. I saw on The Athletic that Achan was his highest rated undrafted college free agents. Well, that is after some other guy decided to return to school next year.

I loved calling him Marshmont, but apparently he didnt like that.
