No pieces in the return for the thornton trade won the cup, Seguin won the cup but was a healthy scratch most of the playoffs, we got fleeced in the Seguin deal and both returns should be long gone before we're good again…..How did Sweeney not take any of this into account?

It's definitely not a bad thing.

Of course but good like replacing what they just lost. Odds are against them.

Nope. Your wrong, but we get your point. Toronto lost the trade because after trading for Phil the Thill, the Bruins won the cup, and toronto has made the playoffs, what.. once? Lets move on.

Ugh, that's so dumb.

If you would have won the Cup anyway, then winning the Cup doesn't mean you won the trade. You very well may have won the trade, but winning the Cup isn't the reason why. This is pretty elementary logic.

Not like Thornton won anything either.
I am pretty sure he'll retire cupless.

Defintely. I agree. Someone was saying that since they're doing well in this draft because they have three picks in a row. My point was that three picks in the first round is good but not because they're all in a row, that's just kind of weird.

They should announce all 3 picks at the same time

yeah but we haven't had anybody with that kind of talent since except maybe arguably seguin who we also shipped out of town. Meanwhile our lack of speed and finishing ability have taken us from the penthouse to the cellar at record time.

So they could pull a Vikings and miss the clock, twice, and still be good right?

Bergeron had a concussion and missed two games...........

Seguin "single handily" won us a game against Tampa.......2 goals and 2 assists I believe.

He was important to us in that series, absolutely.

That's what I find funny when people say what has he won........well he did help us win the Cup for Christ sake.

I'm a bolts fan and Seguin contributed alot in that conference final. That's how remember him.

the bruins would have still won a cup with kessel instead of seguin.
that's the point

on how to ruin your team? the lucic trade is decent I guess, but dougie is terrible.
sometimes the best move is no move at all

Me too!

Still don't understand the hate for him from Bs fans. Wihs we still had him.

F***ing Chia Pet and Bs management.

Not necessarily, seguin won one of those games in the conf final vs Tampa. Could have lost the series without him. Also, just because Boston blew it years later doesn't mean they lost that trade. They still hosed Toronto, Dougie and Seguin for Kessel? Come on

- 77emac77

so every trade the bruins made the few years prior to the cup win, they won because of that cup?

Boston is left with eriksson,smith,15th overall, couple seconds....from seguin and hamilton

Yes. This is true but it's not what was being discussed.

The worst part is that Tampa, MTL, and Detroit are already better than us.

Ottawa is on the same level.

Now, Buffalo is arguably as good as us too!



So........back to the 90's?

I wonder if Sweeney is trying to dive to the bottom for next year........?

Is there another McDavid next season?

so is boston just going to stay on stage for like 15 mintues

WOW. Steep price for Lucic. Good trade for you Bruins fans. Has the potential to be good for LA. But its a auto win in the moment for yall.

Why would you guys want Jones?

Actually, yeah, possibly. Auston Matthews is supposed to be at least Eichel caliber

Announce all three at once please
