Kessel deal = retained salary is a killer for 7 years, otherwise ok

Parenteau= old, soft and French

Hunwick = too old for a rebuild

Panik = good signing (should have tried for 3 years )

Arcobello = not as good as Santorelli


Today as a whole......not ideal

- mr.sir


3 years would take him to UFA when it expires. Better to go one year at a time to see where he's at.

Pretty much all of the moves today are to allow the kids to develop in the AHL. Parentrau, Arcobrllo etc are to put people on an active roster, that's all...

RW is jammed right up

Nylander RW/C
Marner (unless he becomes a C)
Kasperi Kapanen
Zach Hyman
Connor Brown
Andreas Johnson
Bracco is listed as C/RW
Nikita Soshinkov RW but shoots left

Whoever else

- poohcrumbs

They want Marner to play centre in the NHL, and they're probably going to flip some of those guys. Won't shock me if they flip Kapanen over the summer.

..until he nets 20-25 next year and wants 4.5m per
(possible if he plays a full year with Kadri and Lupul)

The guys signed today are just 1-2 year placeholders. They do need to sign people.

The good news is so insane long gterm deal to Belesky. We'll leave that to the Bruins.

No UFA's signed today were ever going to be a part of the long term picture.

Then we can package him to NYI for Ryan Strome +.

No worries.

I'm still a bit sad about the return for Kessel, but lets take a moment to breathe, relax...

Sad thing is. Doesnt matter who they have on the team. Next thing you know they will be in the finals again out of no where











And laugh our arses off at Boston. Wtf are they thinking...?

None of the young assets will be on the roster this year. Hunwick is a character guy. Parenteau and Arcobello will be flipped at the deadline.

Yea, what if he does it at the end in 3 years and wants Clarkson money.

He's an RFA still. He can't sign for too much anyway. If he score 20-25 sign him to a one year deal. To prove he can do it again.

Bruins need to give Don Sweeney a 5 year extension.
