I think they may have missed one, my opinion anyway...Glen Wesley to Whalers for THREE 1st rd picks.. One of those picks were Samsonov if I remember correctly..

THis is a picture not typing.....Quote from Butch Cassidy Lol, brother are you throwing me a curveball cause if you are, now we're even!! Serious, I cant remember last time I was as excited to get season started. God only knows how many prospects are gonna make the club. I think Frederic may be a big surprise along with SO many more. I think DS is doing a superb job of trying to give us a really good young team that may be good for a long time. Possibly our best signing was the reigning AHL mvp we stole from the Blues. Bet he scores 20 goals playing on top 9. Only thing that has me a little pissed is : Pasta should have been signed back in June, before all the big bucks were being given out to players similar to him..Your doing a super awesome job keeping us updated..Thanks so much!! Thanks to everyone else too of course.. I hope they are playing hardball with Pastrnak, some of the comparables the media are throwing out there is utter crap. It has to be a forward coming off his entry level deal. UFA's, D-men and forwards coming off there second deal don't compare. The best one I saw out there this summer was Drouin. Coming off his entry level deal, one good year (last season) and he got 5.5 for six years. On the other hand you have Galenchuk who had a good season and then a drop off last year (mostly on the Habs IMO) and his salary is 4.9 a year. Kuznetsov is not really a comparable, he did KHL time and his contract extension came at 25 and he put in two solid seasons, with all that said I still think they went high on that deal. Draisaitl is technically a comparable but he's a center, he's big, often plays with McDavid, had two good seasons and Chiarelli (as we all know) has a history of over paying. I'd like to see a 5 or 6 year deal at 5.5, more than fair IMHO.

Agreed, it could be already done for what we know, they maybe just plan to announce it in a week or two.

Kjc, I was under the impression last week a deal was almost done and it was precisely what you asked for. 5 or 6 yrs at 5.5-6 a season..Pasta should of been signed before all this money was being thrown around..Christ, Connor Mac partner wants 9 million a season..If Oilers don't win it all next couple yrs, theres gonna be trouble there.. I think our GM is doing a super job. Just need to get Pasta signed..It seemed after playoffs, both parties were practically ready to sign but now players of his comparison is getting more than Marchand..Pastrnak don't deserve same as Brad, not this contract so why not sign a 2 yr bridge build.. Just don't understand the hold up..

I agree..Seems like that's pushing some unnecessary buttons, or just stalling tactics. Pastrnak said on several occasions he wants to be in Beantown for a long time. I say get the deal done and move on!!

[/quote] To be devil's advocate...Chris Bourque is always in the top 5 in scoring in the AHL and he will never make it in the NHL. Same could go for Agostino. A 1 way contract just means he gets paid the same amount whether he is in the AHL or NHL. 2 way means they get paid different amounts depending on where they are playing. Agostino may have a chance but he will have to beat out Bjork, JFK, DeBrusk, Heinen....

This is a couple days old so sorry if it was origionally posted. Before he can build on last season's breakout campaign, Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak is in need of a new contract. Pastrnak exploded for 70 points in 75 games in 2016-17 as his entry-level contract reached its expiration date, and the 21-year-old restricted free agent is set to cash in. However, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney revealed, despite ongoing negotiations with Pastrnak's representatives, there's no timetable as to when a new deal might be struck. In early June, Sweeney said the two sides are moving in the right direction on a long-term deal. Related: Projecting David Pastrnak's next contract Pastrnak ranked second on the Bruins in goals (34) and points, trailing all-star Brad Marchand in both categories. Marchand inked an eight-year deal last offseason that nets him $6.125 million annually - the third-highest sum among Bruins skaters, behind Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. Because of these team-friendly contracts, Pastrnak's value could take a hit, as a young player earning more than core veteran teammates isn't commonplace in the NHL. Still, Pastrnak built quite a case for himself, trailing only Leon Draisaitl - who is set to break the bank in Edmonton - in production among all pending RFA's last season. Per CapFriendly, the Bruins have nearly $13 million in cap space to bang out a deal with Pastrnak before the puck drops in October. www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1331575

Agostino may have a chance but he will have to beat out Bjork, JFK, DeBrusk, Heinen.... [/quote] I hear ya Seabass but Agostino was told he wont have to play in the AHL. I'm only going on what a lot of people are saying about this kid, as for me, I know little about him but it seems to be a low risk deal and you just never know. Chris Bourque is a good example, another is Newfoundland's own John Slaney. Excellent offensive defenceman in AHL but couldn't cut it in big league. But at the same time, theres always late bloomers and lets hope this kid has what it takes. According to a couple Blues fans, they hated losing him for nothing but there just wasn't a spot for him in SL..They really think he'll make the Bruins and will produce..If nothing else Seabass, gonna be one exciting September just to see who make it and who don't cause theres not room for all of them..I'm guessing Providence will have a strong team next yr..Hope that bolds well for Bruins.

I give Cehlarik, Heinen and Debrusk the edge over JFK, Bjork and Senyshyn but only because they have a year of AHL duty under their belts. However Senyshyn and JFK are right shots and we seem more desperate in that regard.
With that said we have a crap load of players competing for jobs without those first six players I mentioned.
Marchand/Bergeron/Vatrano Spooner/Krejci/Pastrnak Beleskey/Backes/Nash Agostino/Acciari/Schaller
Kuraly is another fourth line candidate.

chowderandchampions.com/2017/07/02/boston-bruins-matt-duchene-trade-may-hinge-brandon-carlo/For the life of me, I cant understand why Carlo to the Av's just wont go away!!!!!!!!! Bruins are finally looking like a team with a promising young defence with Carlo AND MacAvoy and one day Zboril{I think he's 1 years in providence away from Boston}. Bruins are also rumoured to be shopping Spooner for a defenceman. So why is the interest shifted from Landescog to now Duchene, 41 ppts last season and 6 million a year for 2 more yrs. There's another reason it don't make sense. But to me, the big reason it don't make sense is , last season Bruins went all in with Backes. Love the player, hate the contract, that's how most of us feel here I'm guessing?? Duchene makes no sense for B's right now because we have a lot of kids knocking on the door. Some will make the team this yr, Bjork is almost a guarantee and I think where Debrusk punched in a full yr at Pro, I think he plays 3rd line this season. But who knows for sure..I just know we don't need another 6 million dollar man. I know Matt had a bad season as well as landescog last season, 41 points bad..If Boston wants to make a trade, get an extra defenceman

But that could easily be one media guy with his glasses fogged up and he got him mixed up with Wacey Rabbit.

I want playoffs again, if our youth can't cut it this year, an AHL stint or a second for some won't hurt. The only thing is, if we get a descent vet now he most definitely takes a spot from a young player but if we don't and the young guy can't cut the mustard we're mostly too late to pick up good help without going to the trade market. Catch 22.

I think I'm talking about guys that are slightly a level higher than PTO status and cheap but don't ask me for names. Maybe they don't really exist.
