Boston still has 8.5 million in cap space. None of it should go to Russel, Schultz or Schenn. Not sure about Schultz. If he's cheap and on a 2 way, that may motivate him? He's got talent and is a right hand shot.. may be worth a roll of the dice. Justin Schultz agrees to two way contract with Anaheim Ducks. |

Justin Schultz agrees to two way contract with Anaheim Ducks. Source? I figured he'd be blackballed in Anaheim since that's the team that originally drafted him and he wouldn't sign for 4 years, becoming a free agent before going to Edmonton.

I guess Backes said in an interview lately that he was signed to be the third line center. I'm a little worried about how this plays out. Do they intend to trade Krejci or Spooner? Does Spooner shift to the wing? Spooner put up more points than Backes last year and I'm sure Backes had more quality wingers than Kevin Hayes. I know a lot of Spooner's points came on the PP and I'm not suggesting he is in anyway better than Backes but he is getting better and hasn't reached his potential. I really hope they put Backes on the RW where we are in dire need of right wing depth.

That would complete the list of Bruin's Jerseys in my closet that have been traded less than two years after my purchase. Krejci actually has until next April before he surpasses two years but I got a feeling it happens. Guess I could have gone with the standard Orr, Bourque or Neely, all solid choices but I just like to be current. |

Kelly was a glue guy for all of his time here, there is no Corsi stat that can quantify what he meant to the Bruins. It was time to move on but not forget his contributions.

He's not that strong 5 on 5 as a center and because of that isn't suited as a PK center, things you typically want in a 3rd line center. Spooner has some speed and could potentially could fit nicely on Bergeron and Marchand's line filling in something they've been missing for some time. Marchand-Bergeron-Spooner ?-Krejci-Pasta Beleskey-Backes-? Cannon fodder-Nash-Hayes Those lines aren't too bad but there are still some huge holes - primarily a LW for Krejci and that's before even looking at the mess in the backend. |

Mess on the back end is putting it kindly. Bruins missing true wingers with 1st and 2nd line skills. Remember when the 4th line had a purpose and had a job - and did it well? Now it just seems like a place to hold extra guys who can't play in the first three lines. Or a place for the Jimmy Hayes of the world - players who didn't pan out and earn too much - but the Bruins are too stubborn to admit they were a mistake |

Jimmy Vesey??? (fingers crossed) i think JV will go to boston...it would be a nice f u to buff. on top of getting a good player. I hope so. I'm a little worried about what Vesey said would contribute to his decision. Things on our side: wants to stay in Northeast, wants to be able to play immediately as a top 6 forward (I think the Bs can accommodate)', power play time. What worries me is coach and coaching system is important to him. Not sure if that bodes well. I can only imagine Claude's style is not a dream for someone who can put up some serious numbers. |

I don't think any kid out of CHL or college should expect to be given a top six spot. If he earns it great but if it's handed to him not so good. The last thing a kid would need is other players grumbling behind his back and questioning why he jumped ahead of other players more deserving. We might have a spot open but Vatrano just had 36 goals in 36 games in the AHL and he has 39 NHL games under his belt. IMO he has a leg up on Vessey coming out of college. I guess we have to land Vessey first and then just hope for the best.  |

At least the Bs seem to have some offensive (not to mention ridiculous defensive) holes Vesey can make a push for. At least have a good chance to earn one. I really hope the kid doesn't expect to immediately be placed in the top 2 lines of any team. But, in typical Bruin fan fashion I'm pessimistic about him coming. I think he and Eichel being such good friends may keep him in Buffalo. |

I read somewhere that Vesey was even closer with Matt Grzelzyk but then again Grz will not be sending him sweet tap ins like he'd be getting playing with Eichel. |
