PC definitely loses his share of trades but he's not afraid to pull the trigger. He signed a FA left wing and traded away a left wing for his biggest need on the back end. We signed a center, which we didn't need (IMO) and one would think we would trade a center for a D-man. Mind you I'm fine with Backes playing RW but if he's a center we should trade a center. In a trade Spooner gets us a D-man that would be no better than what we already have. Krejci could fetch us a good D-man, maybe. Krejci's stock is down right now and at seven million a year he might not be all that marketable. If we get Vesssy maybe Marchand becomes our biggest chip. Bergeron is not going anywhere so what else do we have as a high end forward that could get us a #1 D-man?

You guys want me to have another Bruin jersey with a former player on it. I gotta wonder if Krejci's contract is a tradeable one.. Jamie Benn just got the big haul..8 years/76 million which averages 9.5 million a season. This really don't help the signing of Marchand..Someone mentioned Marchand longterm at 6 million a season. I say dream on, his Minimun will be a Krejci like contract..... Without a doubt. Could even argue he's more important. Great 5 on 5, shorthanded and for some insane reason only just now a regular on the PP or his totals would be even better.

Bergeron is not going anywhere so what else do we have as a high end forward that could get us a #1 D-man? IF Sweeney is finished making deals, I just might jump on the DS Haters bandwagon..Every Bruin fan realizes exactly what we need, a defenceman..If He's trying to fetch one, well good, keep at it..But if he's true to his word and is done making trades, I'll be pretty pissed off with him.. I haven't got a lot of good to say about PC and right now, he's not too popular after trading Hall plus Seguin, Oiler fans know this..PC was great pre-2012..After that, he was overpaying everyone, giving out NTC's to everyone, and because of all those moves, His actions forced PC to move Boychuk..We were in cap hell. But 2011 was a year we'll never forget and he was the big reason for that. Also we all crap on the owners all the time but during the PC years, Jacobs continuously spent to the max..So how is he a cheap scape?? Anyway, Bruins had 2 good seasons in a row but ended up tied for 8th in both those seasons which is really tough to believe. Hopefully this season, we'll get an extra point somewhere and it'll put us in..

I read some glowing reviews on a bunch of the boys at development camp this week, players like Carlo, Zboril, McAvoy and even the 6'7" light on his feet Wiley Sherman. I can't wait for some of these guys to start pushing for a job but by the time they're ready it could be too late for the coach and front office.

Thanks for posting that article Madmarx, looks like Brandon Carlo might very well be an early call up or at minimum play this year in Pro..Looks to be an Excellent 2nd rd pick by Sweeney..

I feel same as you guys!! He isn't a number 1, maybe on Boston he's their #1 but he's not a true #1 defenceman but he'll want to be paid that way!!

I think 1 or 2 of the kid dmen are going to surprise us. I really think Carlo can be that guy.

That's the difference I see in PC and DS, PC spent to the max and we did get a cup in 2011 and also another go at the final. Sweeney is trying to take the long approach while still icing a decent team...Our past had some great moments and I think Sweeney is trying to bring that back by going with youth and hoping it'll pay devidends in the future..

That's the market, don't give up six million on Backes and get skittish about paying Marchand 7 million. We already see what happened to Krejci when we took away Looch and Horton and if we lose Marchand then Bergeron will just be another good center with no wingers to play with. It should be done by now Sweeney!!

Definitely, if Backes is worth 6 per season, just pay what Marchand wants, I said or rather we said he would want krejci like salary and that's exactly where he is..Pay Marchand and move on!!! Bruins have 7 million cap free space But Marchand's contract wont kick in til next season. No reason whatsoever to be kicking tires on this if it's a true fact..

A career year last year with 37 goals and 61 points. After 7 seasons an average of 22g and 41 points. How much of his success is due to Bergy. Wouldn't mind an extended look without Bergy first, spread the wealth so to speak.

Wouldn't mind an extended look without Bergy first, spread the wealth so to speak. Bergy makes everyone around him better .. I don't know, a couple of days ago I watched a clip of both Marchand and Bergeron's goals last year and obviously most of us here don't miss a game anyway. They are very much a tandem, they both do the board work, they both go hard to the net and they both have the drive and smarts to win most of their battles. They read off each other and for the most part their RWer is window dressing. If Marchand wasn't here next season I think Bergeron suffers a lot.

Who leaves a bigger void in the lineup Bergeron or Marchand 👃👃
