Blaming leadership, Rask or even our 6 d'men is off base IMO. It's our forwards not playing team defense. I didn't like the way camp was run. Too much auditioning for jobs and not enough focus on the regulars, the lines and systems. We need to practice during camp, get your lines situated and be ready to go for the start of the season. We don't look ready and it's showing in the results. Last year Nash played on Dominic Moore's wing, this year he's playing center and now he's Bergeron's stand-in. WTF? Nash is an okay 4th line NHLer but I'm not even sure he can handle the responsibility of 4th line center. We could be patient and wait for Bergy, then Backes and Acciari to get back but if we continue to look horrible maybe we need a trade sooner than later. I think Spooner will be gone after 10 games, he just doesn't do enough, Heinen can take his job now and be better than Spooner. IMHFO

I know it's very early but still: * Of the Bruin's top 10 point getters, 5 are 1st year players * Looking at the teams +/- stats, most are in the minus catagory, -3 very famous number. Certainly worth pointing out That Carlo is +4 and Chara leads the way with a +5.. * Beleskey only has 5 hits on the season while Miller leads way with 16. * Torey Krug is a team worst -4 rating. * Krejci we knew was doing good in the FO circle BUT a couple may surprise you. Krejci is 46-30 {W&L} NASH is even better at 39-26 and , Get Ready, Ryan Spooner is 24-16.. Kuraly is 13-20 while Shaller is 10-10 Again, it's early but something to keep an eye on and ya all know how much I love Statistics. Hoping to see you tonight on the GDT. We had a great time last night.. ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/bos/stats/

Seabass, or anyone who would like to come up with a decision on what to do with Big Z after this season. Would you resign him, release him, trade him before/after season?? If he continues to have a good season I would most definitely resign him. I'd offer him a 1-year 3 million dollar contract and take it year by year after that. NO MORE multi yr contracts. To me this season has already shown he's still a very valuable asset to this team. Love to hear what you have to say about it, anyone?? You're the GM and season 2017-18 is over.

Love to hear what you have to say about it, anyone?? You're the GM and season 2017-18 is over. I'll give you the safe answer, I would have to wait to see how the season plays out and how Chara does. I would not be talking to him about an extension at this time. If I had to guess they will extend him to a 1 year and he will be a Bruin next year as it will be probably be too early to cut the ties to find someone that will give the team more.

My concern with Z is that he is only 6 games into the season. Let's see how his body is after game 76. Let's see if he still has enough speed left to stop the speedy wings. I know he is a workout machine and is in great shape.
I just think they should wait until June to talk about another year for him.

i would see what offers there are at the deadline if the b's are out of playoff picture.

Post by kjc2 on Oct 16, 2017 16:11:54 GMT -5
I wouldn't even worry about the whole deadline thing. Let him retire a Bruin if possible. If we know we're not interested in extending him after this season and we don't look good for the playoffs we should tell him before the deadline and if he has an interest in making a run elsewhere then give him the option.

Does he have to clear waivers again to come back up? He got through the waiver wire going down. I didnt think he had to go through waivers coming up, not once he went through it going down..Someoe please correct me if I'm wrong..

Saying "time to panic and the sky is falling" is as condescending as saying plan the parade and get the duck boats ready. I think it's okay to be concerned. The 2-3 record on the surface is not a concern but playing the weakest of the league and coming away below .500 should set off some alarm bells. I think we look horrible and our line up is flawed, it'll be much better with Bergeron back but we can't even be sure what's going on there. If he's gone for another month it changes the whole outlook on the season. I'd certainly like to see Butch and the current line up figure it out and not just depend on Bergeron saving the day.

I think his point was that if you read the comments section of articles from different sports websites, SCOC is definitely one of them, you'd think that the season was already over after the first 5 games of the season. I've seen people already starting the silly shit like 'trade Rask', 'fire DS and/or Cassidy'. I am guessing he was primarily targeting those clowns and rightfully so. There's always a reactionary element to every fan base. We all want to see our team win and get cranky when they don't, but some just love to spout some of the most ridiculous crap, it's not even funny. I have often wondered how many of them actually believe what they're shoveling and how many are just trying to stir things up. 50/50 I bet.

I don't feel as negative as most Bruins fans even though they have clearly sucked in 3 of the 5 games. They have played well for 2 and that isn't a good enough batting average but what I like is what I have seen from alot of the rookies: McAvoy, DeBrusk, Bjork, Heinen all have shown their moments and really good potential.
I would say yes they are underachieving in a small 5 game sample size and should look better but I also factor in that they are a middle of the road team breaking in rookies who is missing their best player. This isn't going to be the central red army team at any point this year, I view it as more of a developmental year where they should be competitive.
