I still can't believe the Bruins traded Seguin and they have ZERO to show for from that trade on their current roster or even in their entire organization.

I thought the Joe Thornton trade by the Bruins was brutal, but the Seguin trade has to go down as the worst one in NHL history.........

Tavares outclasses Seguin in many ways. Seguin shouldn't get more than 10 for 7.

I'd rather Séguin everyday of the week & Sundays. Tavares shouldn't have got more than 10, that's going to be an expensive contract in more ways than 1 moving forward.

Where both Seguin and Hall laugh hysterically at how (frank)ing dumb Peter Chiarelli is.

Not sure what possibly makes Seguin so much superior to Tavares, except for the fact that Tavares is a Leaf.

Both are great players and probably fairly comparable. I think both you and the Leafs poster you responded to are incorrect. Neither is significantly better than the other.

I bet Seguin will just resign in Dallas. This is a whole lot of nothing until he isn't signed leading up the the TDL. Tavares was the anomaly, not the norm. We shouldn't just expect every big UFA to walk now because 1 did so. Although Karlsson probably will unless he's moved...

I can actually see that happening. Hall and Seguin together would be pretty devastating. Plus, it would be the perfect FU-Chiarelli line.

Edit: glove_was_stuck beat me to the punch!

I might be wrong, but Séguin just seems to take over games unlike Tavares. No it's not because he's a Leaf, just rather have Séguin if that was the choice. Séguin always seems pretty dangerous against the Pens it seems, where Tavares not so much. Although in saying that, Séguin is probably more injury prone. I'd say he's going to stay in Dallas as well. (although New York...............)

Mr. Underwood would be interested to sign a contract for a potential SCF-game7, should they ever make it again...

Id love to hear your rationale to how so?

Seguin is younger, a superior skater to Tavares and has scored 40 already in his career.

Me too actually. It will stand as a reminder to the other 28 teams who have not employed this jackass before to stay away from him.

I think unless Dallas gets him signed, he's going to end up in the Metro. All 3 NY teams would be after him!!
- Aussiepenguin


A powerplay of Eichel, Seguin, and Skinner would be scary. A line with Hall and Seguin would also be scary. Not sure who'd play wit Seguin in New York, but please keep Seguin away from the Metro.

So Tavares has a higher PPG despite never playing on a line with a Jamie Benn caliber player.

I think the preds made a great deal with Ellis on this pact. Trouba and winnipeg should pay attention; 6-6.25 a year for trouba over 8 is more than fair...

Ek, any update on Morrissey from the Jets?

As a Bruins fan, trading Seguin away stung. not so much him leaving, but for the bag of crap we got in return. No video game would allow that trade.

I would LOVE to see Seguin return to Boston. The team speed on the current roster is something Seguin didn't get to play with his first go around in Boston. Plus, now he can play center, something he greatly improved on given the chance in Dallas. A line of Debrusk-Seguin-Donato could be very dangerous if the kids take another step this season, which they should. Combine that line with the Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnack line and that could be a Stanley Cup winning 1-2 punch. Seeing Seguin on the same powerplay line as David Pastrnack wold be must watch.

So what you are saying is Tavares is a good player, but not good enough to make others around him better?

no, what I think he's trying to say is that the Leafs will totally dominate and out class what ever irrelevant team it is that you cheer for.
