e Hopefully he has something good to say. Don Sweeney said it's "status quo" in talks with Pastrnak's camp: "We just need to find a deal that works" Translation: 'We're working a yet another trade of a young, promising player for, God willing, pennies on the dollar...stay tuned!'

I wished for eternal youth too but one day Z is going to hit the ice and wonder why all these hockey players in their prime are skating circles around him. It's not because he's hurt, it's not because he's not in shape, it's because he got old over time and he comes to an abrupt realization that it's over. He's not there yet he's close I think. I would extend him on short term yearly basis, as long as he is willing not to break the bank .He would be a perfect role model for the youth going forward.. I wouldn't extend him until after the year. See how he does this year first. If he turns more pylon orange then it is time for him to go.

Exactly no hurry gives us time to see how the Young Guy's are progressing..

The whole trade thing is starting to become a real possibility in my mind too, certainly based on our history. For some reason I think things might develop in a Matt Duchene deal. The only reason I say this is because it sounds like Duchene is done in Colorado, Duchene will be cheaper and seems like we were having dialogue with Colorado all last season so Sweeney would be very familiar with the situation. Again, I haven't heard anything and it's just me speculating. I would hope the Bruins wouldn't do it because Duchene is a center and he's a UFA in two seasons.

Considering Sweeney had a news conference to say negotiations are on going and basically say nothing we didn't already know my take away is this. It was for JP Barry and Pastrnak. He's telling us there's no hurry but he's telling the JP Barry camp "I can wait this thing out as long as you want."

So now we will see teams delay delay delay before a faceoff while someone in the booth reviews the video of the blue line. Then they will call the bench to say yay or nay.

The Bruins had 96 points, 213 goals for, Pastrnak 10 goals for in 2014-15 and missed the playoffs. 2015-16 we had 93 points, 240 goals for, Pastrnak 15 goals for and missed the playoffs. Last year we had 95 points, 234 goals for, Pastrnak 34 goals for and we made the playoffs. For all of Pastrnak's increased production last year we still had a decrease in goals for from the year before by 6 goals. No doubt we are better with Pastrnak than without him but my point is, it wouldn't be the end of the world if Sweeney remained patient. In the last three years our points total in the standings have been between 93-96 points, our goaltending and D got us into the playoffs last year.
I want Pasta playing for us but make him wait until JP Barry gets back into the real world. In my mind I started with 6 million a season and as a fan I'm beaten down enough to go to 7 million a year but if Barry doesn't come off 8 million a year his client can sit and rot as far as I'm concerned.

All good changes on the surface but I agree, coaches will find a way to drag the whole review process out even longer. Coaches always think they're right when they call for a review and when a "goal scored" is on the line they will risk the penalty every time I think. They should have just taken that review rule and thrown it in the garbage where it belongs.

If they are so determined to keep the offside review rule in it should read like this "only missed offside calls that are egregious, in excess of 8 inches can be reviewed. Keep the human factor in the linesmen are very good at what they do so I'm saying you might get maybe 2 or three reviews a season. I can remember Kessel and Duchene in the past 10 years that would have been turned over in that type of review, I'm sure there is more but not much.

8 mil is ridiculous. 7 is almost as bad...
does anyone see another lock out in the NHL's future? i sure as hell do. im starting to get real sick of this shit.
i admire tennis and golf a lot more. you win you get a paycheck. and your money goes down the lower you place. that is very fair and reflects the athletes accomplishments.
who's to say what pasta does after striking gold in a nice fat contract. i think this all sucks. and you know the agent is looking to see how much of a percentage he can get out of it. like he cares what pasta gets.

In theory it is inconsistent to have different consequences for challenging an offside compared to goaltender interference but in practice it is a good idea. The no change on an icing is tough, there will be some tired defenders this year and moments when teams are hemmed in and out of gas and will really need a big save from their goalie.

Pastrnak doesn't have a lot of control over how much the rest of the team scores but I agree the larger point I think is that the Bruins aren't a serious contender with or without him. Seeing how the B's have done very little to add to the roster they are not really all in this year and are approaching this year as a developmental year where they want to find out where they are at with a number of promising forward prospects. A Pastrnak holdout into the season would not scare me too much though a deal does need to get done. I think it will get done in training camp.

so if you score lots of points but your team sucks...who wants to watch that? people really care about how well the team does. they are not paying money to see one player score goals.
thats like if you pay a lot of money to see a band play just because the singer is hot but you hate the music.
so tired of this. never mind thinking about possible injury.

Rumour has pasta looking to the KHL and olyimpics. My question is if Bruins own his rights he can't go right?
