If the Bruins know already Pasta is not coming back or will price himself out of our range maybe I trade him for NJ’s pick but it would need to be the 2nd overall pick + a prospect or player. I agree. Pasta would get more than just a first. With Donny though, we'd probably end up with a 3rd rounder, a prospect that never gets a whiff of the AHL and a past his prime vet with a albatross of a contract.

WHY all this Pasta trade talk??? I think it's all from the rumor that he wants out. Although, his agent and Wagner both said that was BS. It's probably mostly just people playing the 'what if'/speculation game as there's not much else coming out of the Bruins' front office these days.

WHY all this Pasta trade talk??? I think the rumours are all bad but either way he’s going to be asking 10+ million on his next deal. If we can’t afford him or we’re heading towards a rebuild Sweeney has a decision to make.

I listened to Cassidy on Overdrive, he was a class act all the way. He respects Sweeney and he’s looking forward to his next chapter. I was hoping he’d say something that was a little cryptic or something to dissect but he’s too smart to make any waves.

Pastrnak just turned 26 so whether the Bruins are in rebuild mode or not, they GOTTA keep this guy unless of course a deal is on the table thats simply too good to resist..Lose him AND Bergeron? How long before Marchand and Hall want out??

Theory #2 on Butch’s firing. It’s a slow week .
Sweeney already knows Bergeron is not coming back and he also knows that with a fat Pasta contract looming that he can’t afford to go get Pasta the center he needs. Knowing a full tear down and rebuild is coming he gave Butch the option to not be apart of the tanking Bruins.
Just throwing it out there.

I read that Cryers offered Trotz the gig & he turned it down, then they said "OH Torts we really wanted you" Cinderella :-P

They’re fine to slot in behind Marchand and Bergeron but they can’t be our #1 line. I think the Flyers are borderline softer than we are, I really don’t think Torts is a fit there.

There’s so many questions right now that this team could be bottom 6 in the league or squeak into the playoffs. I have no idea who’s playing center, who’s coaching or who’s the captain if Patrice calls it a career.

Not the point of the article but it’s basically saying Butch didn’t work well with the younger players. So we can assume a young coach with no previous NHL is going to be next coach up. The question is;Is it his job to win with the roster Donny has assembled to start the season or is he the whipping boy like Jeff Blashill to take the bullets during rebuild.

I think we should take Vegas’s X-Coach 🤷♂️

It is interesting to me that we haven't heard about Sweeney's new contract. Neely all but said it was done 3 or 4 weeks ago. Wondering if there are second thoughts or they are just waiting to announce it.

Maybe Neely spoke out of turn and had to fight to keep Sweeney. Either way hopefully Sweeney doesn’t have full autonomy, there’s nothing more destructive than a GM making short term decisions out of desperation and just setting the franchise back even worse than it already is. He has to make the playoffs at a minimum so in my opinion his only play is to try and get Bergeron and Krejci back into the mix and maybe a fresh coach that gets some mileage out of the youth he drafted.
