PTO 's is the only route for Me , beat a Kid out of a job but only on the cheap.. 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. Maybe someone like JM Liles, just as an example. Or maybe Jimmy Hayes..not that Bruins want those guys back but they might be an example for another team..I think this is what you mean. Or maybe a perfect example would be Jagr if no one signs him and he comes in on a Professional tryout!! Speaking of Jagr, I'm really surprised no one picked him up..He'll come relatively cheap and still good for maybe 20-25 goals and 40-50 points.. Certainly worth the gamble. I don't mean Bruins cause we have so many kids vying for a job..I think LOOK OUT NEXT SEASON!!! A lot of those really bonafide prospects will spend a year in Providence and will be itching to make team in 2018-19, but some will make it this season. I think Bjork has a really good chance to play with Krejci/Pastrnak on 2nd line.I think defenceman Zboril needs professional seasoning in Providence and maybe Senychen. I agree with what Kjc stated{or was it madmarx}. Rookies that played in PRO last season should have a better chance of making it this season. I think Debrusk will and maybe Danton Heinen...Cannot wait to get er' going!!

I think Debrusk will and maybe Danton Heinen...Cannot wait to get er' going!! I really like Bjork, Heinen, Debrusk and even Cehlarik but I got a feeling that at most there is one spot available for 1 of these guys. They are all left shots and maybe Bjork can play RW for Bergeron and maybe Heinen can center the third line and I believe one of them will be Krejci's LWer but I don't want either of these guys to be in a position to fail. Obviously we have Marchand as #1 LW, I think Beleskey has a LW spot locked up either 3rd or fourth line, we still have Schaller, Spooner, Vatrano and Agostino to lump in with those first four guys I mention. If you can play somewhere other than the left side I think you improve your odds of making the team exponentially.

I think I'll be watching this guy early just to see how he looks vs how the Toronto #17 pick Liljegren develops. Both D-men, our boy LD and Finish, the Leaf boy RD and Swedish. Both basically the same size and both great skaters. Should be fun to watch.

Have you seen anything written on Victor Berglund? He was supposed to be at development camp but I haven't seen anything on him.

I could see the Pens moving Kessel and the Yotes got a ton of cap space .. Tocchet had a gambling issue years ago with Gretzky's wife on his last tour with the Yotes ..

I think Phil is star talent but secondary scoring. Sounds stupid but I don't think he has the goods to go up against the best defenders in the league night in night out. When you have Crosby and Malkin being the primary focus ahead of you things get much easier. If Arizona wants to spend money and improve their team they should stick to UFA's instead of giving up assets to get Kessel.

He was a third pairing D-man but he skated well and was tough as nails. He was the consummate team guy, he had your back at all times and IMO he was a big part of our pack mentality we had going when we were successful. He was a very important piece in our cup run and I think he had a big impact on young guys like McQuaid and Boychuck also both good team players.

Well said He was a huge part of the Bruins Dallas line brawl when Avery and Ott were acting like idiots. His hit was epic on Ott .. youtu.be/eG6wQRnnT8o

I too was not a fan I called him "Dandy" for quite sometime until the cup run, then he got total respect from then on!!

Wow! Another story regarding shady financial practices and 'the owner of the TD Bank Garden'? First the whole IRS/team meals deductions crap, now this. And this time, he welshed on a 'giving back to the community' agreement. Monty's money grubbing truly knows no bounds.

When I initially read that he was being inducted, I did a double take and then immediately thought it was a sports article from The Onion.

Not Stafford but Sweeney is in talks of resigning him. Do you think a 1 year 1.5 million will be enough to get him to sign. Cant imagine him getting anymore and if he do, let him walk.. No, it's one of the guys we already signed this summer. May be a good pick up..I never realized he had as much nhl experience.
