We May have to keep Backes but he has his own value.... Shelley, I may be wrong but just trading Heinen for a pick or prospect would get it done although I know where you're coming from. We WILL eventually lose Krug, more than likely his last season here. Moving Heinen would put their cap space just barely over 10 million...Sign Carlo longterm at 4 million per if possible and sign McAvoy to a 3 yr 6 million bridge deal and Carlo to a bridge deal if 4 million isnt enough longterm.. Hope Shelley your having a terrific summer..Good Lord, we had more company at the homestead this summer than we had in years and we absolutely love it. My back is slowing me down but i'm far from neutral so far thank Jesus but I was told by my ever so comforting doctor that the day is getting closer when I'll be in a wheelchair, sooner than later apparently BUT BUT I'm very fortunate to not be like so many poor souls who are dying of cancer and as for the wheelchair thingy, This dr of mine dont realize the fight is us stubborn Nflders..COME ON OCT

I'm getting out and enjoying the single life but what id really love is someone to help with the loneliness. Boys are still stupid but maybe I wont throw rocks at them any more. It doesn't seem to be working out for me 😆 you know that expression you catch more with honey then vinegar. I sympathize with your back issues as I have neck issues and I'm scheduled to see the Neuro surgeon in December. Been having issues with my arms and they both dont work properly. But if I should end up in a wheel chair I'm gonna decorate it with all kinds of bruins stuff. And because of the location of my issues none of limbs will work. Its scary to think about but I cant stop living my life and worrying about accidentally hurting myself. Its no way to live and if I can still do something I will. Pain is what it is. And my friend I feel your pain. 💖💖💛💛

Our third line was crap all year before Coyle came over and solidified it. I'd rather they eat a couple of million of the Backes salary for a trade or send a prospect with Backes if that's what it takes. His six million is our biggest stumbling block.

I get what your saying about the Backes contract but while I like heinen he just doesn't do it for me. Imho. And id like to see a rookie step up and fill his spot. Although backes has a big price tag he brings that element of experience with him. I dont know and it looking like Donny doesn't either. Come on Donny get it done

Come on Donny get it done I guess we have different opinions on this one and that’s okay. I like Heinen but I wouldn’t lose a lot of sleep if he was packaged up and traded out of town. The thing with Backes is that he was scratched 9 games during the playoffs. I actually wanted Backes to play in game 7 of the final because he was fresh, he’s physical and he’s a vet and for Butch to scratched him while half the roster was beaten to a pulp was very surprising to me. I guess what I’m saying is , how does Backes come back this season with any kind of relationship with Butch and expect to get ice time. Backes should have been moved in July and we should have been ready to cough up a pick or a prospect to get it done. Maybe Donny will surprise us and Backes will come up with one of those phantom career ending conditions like Some of these other GMs conjured up.

Late last week, Brian Lawton went on the NHL Network and dropped a bit of a bombshell. There are rumors, he said, that one or two guys on the Bruins are currently injured and would have to go on injured reserve. Those two players? You’ll never guess: David Backes and Kevan Miller, two guys who are of little or no use to the Bruins and yet take up a combined $8.5 million against the cap (or 10.4 percent).... While this is obviously all shrouded in mystery today, and there’s no clear answer on whether they’re injured or how severe those injuries may be, doesn’t this all feel an awful lot like beach softening? Backes is 35, spent a chunk of the season as a healthy scratch, and is a black hole on the Bruins cap allocation (albeit one any observer with a brain saw coming years ago). Miller, likewise, is 31 and overpaid for what he provides. If they do come up injured in that physical, let’s make no mistake here: They are injured. They’re being evaluated by medical professionals and are found to have these legitimate injuries. We don’t know if they would have to miss a week, a month, or the full season with them, but they should be taken at face value. However, as with the Marian Hossa’s skin condition or Henrik Zetterberg’s back injury that ended up on forever-IR, there’s a difference between them being injuries that are worth playing through and injuries that aren’t. kuklaskorner.com/hockey/comments/injured-or-not?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I can understand a player agreeing to shut it down when being pressured or convinced to do so by management. All vets have worked through their share of injuries throughout and have a ton of things they deal with just to play hockey on a daily basis at their current age. Some could choose to play through but if you’re getting paid to stay home and you’re not leaving money on the table why not just call it a career.

I too suffer from degenerative disc deterioration. Bent over to wash feet in shower last Nov. Had sharp pain across lower back & went on th hurt like mofo, tried to get it to crack like did for tooo many years, NOPE. Then the pain down R leg toes feel wierd/hurt. somedays not much there others really bad. I can not take anything like Oxy or t hat type of pain killer. yrs ago for throat surgery wfter 2=3 days taking as instructed I became super paranoid, could lay down & after dark got wicked worst! so I have broked L2,3,4 vert yrs after that & just used tylenol for pain.Had knee replacement same take the pain, shredded same kknee miniscus after surgery same. So I have lived with serious pain for yrs too. I feel for you guys!! Enough about me. Take care & LET'S GO BRUINS!!!!
Someone mentiomed Backes NOT in gm 7. I totally agree %100 he SHOULD'VE been in there for several reasons: Was rested & Motivated against old team, to show he CAN still compete at hat level ( at least for that particular gm)to win the Stanley Cup.Was a banger they desperately needed against goon squad team of Berubee & POS Ott. I trust Butch, BUT I truely believe he made horrible choice on that line up. I know hind sight is 20/20. BUT I thought that when lineup annouced Backes SHOULD'VE been in.

I thought the decision to not go with Backes for Game 7 was the correct one at the time but you do make a good point. He would have certainly been a very motivated player but I really thought he had been ineffective most of the playoffs and think he likely wouldn't have made much of a difference. High risk, high reward though for sure! It's just a killer to put yourself in Backes shoes knowing he had to watch that shit show of an effort from the press box and could only wonder what could have been had he been given the chance.

Interesting to see that Adam McQuaid is skating with the #NHLBruins at Warrior today. Veteran defender is still a free agent. Could he attend camp on a PTO with Carlo/McAvoy statuses still up in the air?@boshockeynow

Sounds like he had a mental breakdown. "Can't handle the pressure from the crowd right now" WOW! He always looke calm from his yoga practices it appeared. Except when he had to take care of business i.e. Asshat Avery the time during TV timeout he "accidently" clipped TT's back of the head when he was stretching, or the Canuck he decked in SCF who was reaching up for puck @ corner of the crease :-)

We will always have Kyprios' "Better check the monitors between periods and assess a penalty" comment as one of his career highlights as an analyst when Chara punched Tavares in last year's playoffs in that scrum.
