Its total bullpoop. Why wait until the last day in any event? That part never gets mentioned. It should have been done long before that point.

Of course it's bullpoop and another narrative that has been repeated without any proof repeated to "prove" Bowman's incompetence. Competent management would have had a better process in place with multiple safeguards to ensure that deadlines were always met. It sounds like Hawk management under Tallon were flying by the seat of their pants and not managing the team.

I am becoming a fan of Vegas. That team is relentless. I love the way they attack the puck and apply pressure. Now that is team identity. Same level of intensity on the fore check and the back check. Watching the playoffs shows how far away we are from being a Cup threat. We need an influx of 2 way aggressive forwards who will challenge all over the ice.

I hate them because they have Ryan Reeves and we don`t.

Reaves is probably gone. Eakin and Haula too as PatShart mentioned. Haula coming off knee surgery. What's the market for him?

Wonder if they may try to move a big salary like Stasny, 2 more years at 6.5M.

Still think one of their defenseman will be on the market.

2nd Edit - Stasny + for AA? Saves Vegas 2M and costs Hawks only 2M. Same term. Hawks get a pick or prospect?

I`d go after Reeves, he`d be a crowd pleaser.

Said that all season. Our forwards made it a lot harder for our Dmen than it needs to be. Not saying we don’t need help in the back end, just as a team we make things harder not easier for them. Jackets are playing the same way forwards won’t let Tampa even bring the puck out of their defensive zone without intense pressure.

Not sure if anyone else posted this but a great read, it’s more about Tallon than it is Q:

Bruins have the engines revved up tonight. Ahead 1-0 halfway through the first.

Looks very different from the last game. We'll see if Boston can keep it up.

I know here is a question? Since Boston in the offseason has to sign Carlo and mcavoy and debrusk in a year or two would trade saad + krys or another one of hawks young d prospect for carlo would boston do that trade?

They would move other pieces before McAvoy and Carlo. 6'5 defensive studs are hard to find. They have enough space to sign them.
