That's the NFL play book .Have 1 good season & demand all kinds of $$$ BUT when they have a bad season can the owners request to decrease the contract??? NOPE!! Exactly! If Hall is interested in going elsewhere he can go, once again he’d be making himself look bad with all his wanting to stay a Bruin talk.

I got zero problems with bringing him back at league minimum..Like Perry or Spezza Same, minimum deal, play him on the third line, I’m sure he’d get around as well or better than Ritchie. He definitely has more heart.

So when Boston loses out on Hall do they go after Tarasenko? No to Tarasenko. If we have money to spend we have to upgrade our our D. Our D sucks, plain and simple. I stand by my rant during the playoffs. We have Charlie McAvoy and that’s it, Grz too small, Carlo overrated by all of us in the beginning, maybe it’s the hits to the head but I don’t think he’s progressing at all. Mike Reilly has some strengths in regards to moving the puck but not tough enough. Lauzon is a good third pairing guy. Zboril isn’t an NHL caliber Dman. All my assessments are base on playoff hockey, the only time that really counts.

Carlo for a big D man never learned how to protect his own head unfortunately, with his history not gonna have a long career. You look at Players like Savard , Edmundson ,Mayfield very serviceable big D and affordable 🤷♂️ Lauzon I feel will move up in time he has a nice set of skill with size and nasty

Maybe not in all walks of life but definitely playing D for the Bruins. I’d kick tires on both Mayfield and Savard. Also Edmundson but I still don’t like him going back to the 2019 final.

Anybody else feel like our team is going to be like a house of cards for the next few months. You pull on a thread here or there and everything falls apart. if Krejci is not coming back do we bother to sign Hall. I like Coyle but he’s not a second line center. Is Rask coming back? Are we pinning our hopes on a rookie goalie? I really like him but that’s a lot to ask.

Not set in stone yet but it is looking like the Bruins will be involved in ESPN's first game which will be opening night in Tampa.

BOSTON BRUINS
Key UFAs: Taylor Hall (LW), Tuukka Rask (G), David Krejci (C), Mike Reilly (D), Sean Kuraly (C), Jaroslav Halak (G), Kevan Miller (D), Jarred Tinordi (D), Steven Kampfer (D)
Key RFAs: Brandon Carlo (D), Nick Ritchie (LW), Ondrej Kase (RW), Trent Frederic (C)
No-movement clauses: Brad Marchand (LW), Patrice Bergeron (C), Charlie Coyle (C)
Help us, Seattle: If the Bruins had their choice, they’d probably like to be freed of center Charlie Coyle, who has delivered 24 goals in 142 regular-season games as a Bruin and carries a $5.25-million cap hit for four more seasons. Alas, he controls his own fate with a no-movement clause. The best relief Seattle can give Boston is to pay out a yet-to-be-signed RFA such as left winger Nick Ritchie or to swallow underachieving left winger Jake DeBrusk’s $3.68-million cap hit should Boston decide to expose him.
Toughest decision: The Bruins are a near lock to use a 7-3-1 protection scheme given they have three forwards with NMCs and that right wingers David Pastrnak and Craig Smith are easy choices to protect. What about the last two forwards, though? Pick two of Ritchie, DeBrusk, center Trent Frederic and right winger Ondrej Kase. The good news: because several key Bruins contributors are UFAs, GM Don Sweeney has flexibility to protect most of his most important players. He can make handshake deals to bring back the likes of left winger Taylor Hall, goaltender Tuukka Rask and center David Krejci because all are openly keen on coming back and thus aren’t serious candidates to be poached by Seattle if left unsigned before the expansion draft. Top candidates to crack the Kraken: There’s a good chance the Kraken nab one of the quality forwards Boston exposes. Kase’s unfortunate concussion history might scare Seattle away, but DeBrusk would be an intriguing buy-low pick who probably has more 25-goal seasons on his stick. Still, for that very reason, the Bruins would be better off protecting him as trade bait, so it’s likely the Kraken’s best options are Ritchie, Kase and defensemen Connor Clifton and Jeremy Lauzon.
Projected protected list (7-3-1):
F – Patrice Bergeron F – Charlie Coyle F – Jake DeBrusk F – Trent Frederic F – Brad Marchand F – David Pastrnak F – Craig Smith D – Brandon Carlo D – Matt Grzelcyk D – Charlie McAvoy G – Dan Vladar

Would think someone will offer him a 3 year deal. Not sure it’s Donny though. If he does walk and Hall follows, gonna leave a sour taste for more than a few fans.

Take Krejci and Hall out of the equation and using rookie goaltending and we can forget the playoffs. I mean I know the rebuild is coming but we better run it by Marchand, Bergeron and Pasta because they might not want to be playing their hearts out for a no playoff team..

Coyle has a No Move/trade type clause which forces the Bruins to protect him. Damn, I forgot that..Thanks bud!! When DS gave Coyle that 6 yr contract, I was absolutely stunned!! And I thought even then he was a better player than what he is now..I dunno, maybe lingering injuries but the player I saw seemed to have no desire to get better, just one lazy SOB who's going the same route as Beleskey or Hayes. Maybe he'll surprise me next yr but I highly doubt it..A fucking career 30 pt player and good ole Donny gives him 31.5 MILLION DOLLARS for WHAT? ? I dunno, maybe Donny gotta go..Piss poor at drafting, piss poor at trades and piss poor contracts for below average players..
Sorry friends..Some Bruin topics sends me over the edge and I can be one mean SOB..I know Coyle just had 2 surgeries on his left knee so maybe he'll turn into a 35 pt player, HA!!!

I said that he wasn't worth looking at on a FB post 2 season ago & some clown jumped all over me that all he needed was different address. Well he IS correct NOW not 2years ago I was correct!

I agree to a point on Coyle but I don’t think he’s horrible. The contract was a bit rich without a doubt. He had a bad year because his skating was impaired by his knee issue. He has the size and he is a strong skater and he’s very strong on the puck. He’s the type of player that can be very important in the playoffs but he definitely not second line material.
