I'm hoping for a big push from Studnicka and Urho Vaakanainen at development camp this week.

I got very high hopes on 2nd rd pick Jack Studnicka too. Drafted 53rd overall last June, he was very impressive last year's training camp. None of us mentions Bjork much, mainly cause he got concussed last November and wasnt the same after. But I think he's gonna want to prove himself all over again this year and I think, like last season, he'll make opening night. Remember we were all very high on him and he got off to an excellent start. Also, Heinen isnt explosive like DeBrusk is, but he had 47 points in 77 games. Him and DeBrusk were on pace for 50-55 points each. Jake was 7th on the team in pts with 43 and Heinen was 5th. But Heinen got his points on 3rd line and some time on 2nd.. I would still take JD over DH all the same. Heinen is more of a Krejci type player. Jake has way more hustle, love his game.

Ayup...same way I felt about Backes when they signed him. 3, or 4 years prior to his signing, I would have loved him on this team. But when late 20s/early 30s players like these guys get those monster, long term deals, their production declines and they end up being a major cap albatross midway through it. No thanks.

You're not paying UFAs for what they can, or will do, you're paying them for what they've done to that point in their careers. I can't remember which sports pundit said it, but it sums it up quite nicely. There are exceptions to every rule, don't get me wrong, one of our own falls into that category - that being Chara - but I don't think it is the norm.

Some media guy associated with the Islanders is saying that Tavares will inform Lou tomorrow whether he's staying or opting for either the Leafs or Sharks. I just heard it on SportsNet, could crap but you never know..

Not sure why he would pick them unless they have the most money and that is what he is looking for.

The Sharks have the money and maybe just one beat reporter that covers the Sharks and the Surfing Championships. Not exactly the hockey fish bowl of Toronto.lol

Dreger/Tavares: "Trust me when I tell you that we talk to some pretty influential people who are associated with this process, and as of last night, they hadn't shrunk the list yet. They hadn't. The list is what it is, it's the six teams that presented in Los Angeles." 1050

MM, I would assume JVR wants a long term contract, almost like Backes all over again only Jvr is a better scorer. Like you, I want nothing to do with him and honestly, I dont see why the Bruins would need to sign anyone. Resign Riley Nash, a player you know exactly what you're getting from him. Heck, if it costs a million a season more than you wanna pay him, no biggie compared to Backes. Just look at it as evening up, as Nash was well underpaid last season for all he did. Bruins have practically everyone coming back plus more prospect knocking on the door. Go with what you have unless there someone like Grabner who wont break the bank and come trase deadline, do what you need to do but I wouldn't sign any long term contracts. You just dont know how many of Bruins own prospects will be ready this season, next, or 3 yrs from now.

I think Fredric replaces Riley unfortunately and comes at a lot less money, Iām open to a small deal as an insurance plan Grabner would work depending on term and money of course I like his speed..

#Bruins Patrice Bergeron phoned #Tavares during team's push to sign him. Says it was "to answer any question on the city, the organization and our teammates"

Until Tuuka plays at his best for 4 rounds he'll take heat like every goalie. We played 12 playoff games this season, he was great in maybe 3 or 4 and average in the other 8. He was never horrible but you have to win the big games. Freddy Andersen took a lot of heat for Toronto losing the series this year. Rinne got carved for losing to and playing poorly against the Jets. It's the nature of the beast, their stat line has wins and losses in it, just like pitchers in base ball, you lose a big game and you take the blame.

Says it was "to answer any question on the city, the organization and our teammates" I remember someone asking Tavares who's the toughest center to play against in the NHL. He never hesitated, Bergeron hands down. His faceoff ability and attention to detail all over the ice was the best.
