PC Conference:

Confirms Timmy considering taking year off

Would suspend him and be stuck with the Cap hit (could use Savards LTIR for space)

Looking at transactions to help with the cap

Comfortable with Tuukka / Borat

Paille hints its family related

yeah he was going to trade timmay, timmay didn't want to go

Murphy trashing Thomas for stealing Paille's thunder. Because there's always big press conferences for signing 4th line wingers. What a (frank)ing douche.

@MurphysLaw74 hey midget, you and that butterball hacks with a turkey leg, along with fruity tutti dupont should relax on timmay


this is going to be awesome

let's see
out of paille, campbell, and kelly
i put paille last on the importance chart
so, they get him done first
with means one of the other 2 won't be back, or maybe both won't

it's june 1st, i would have waited, signed at least campell before paille and given a kid like mcdermid a real shot to make the team
also factor in caron

not that i think paille sucks but better options were there

Dude , Paille plays a much, much, much more important role than Campbell does.

And at the $ he came back at.... tough to turn away. He would have been in the 2's easily had he gone somewhere else.

I think Kelly is as good as gone unless Chiarelli can pull a rabbit out of a hat. I'd much rather see Kelly back over Campbell, but I have a feeling Kelly is looking for the Kwan.

I also think it's now safe to say that the Tim Thomas era in Boston is all but officially over

Maybe not.

Somebody said maybe he has family issues. I'd understand that.

unless one of his kids has a serious medical issue i can't think of too many reasons to give him a free pass on this one
he got his extra year of security and might turn around and completely (frank) everyone with it
until any real news comes out we won't know

i would take campbell over paille, hands down
hits more, scores more, takes faceoffs..

Paille is a PK'ing machine. One of the best in the game.

to this point he is severely one dimensional
campbell is not
to me, this has to mean caron is gone, he doesn't bring the toughness that campbell does, doesn't have the speed, hasn't shown much touch since his rookie year
someone like mcdermid can take that spot for cheaper

we will see how it shakes out with kelly, can definitely see a team like the rag$ picking him up

i just woke up, who the (frank) knows

Paille is also a lot better at what he does than Campbell is.
A severely one-dimensional penalty killing specialist?? Sounds like a good problem to have to me, so long as Clooooooode doesn't try to slot him into a scoring line role.

And we got him at 40% less than another team would have paid. Gotta take that deal. We know what Paille brings and 1.3 per for that is a (frank)ing steal, even if he does go 1-for-32 on shorthanded breakaways

That's 32 more breakaway opportunities than Soupy's had since wearing the spoked-B...

I'm not saying we shouldn't bring back Campbell ... I think we still can with Kelly likely gone. What I am saying is that you can't turn away the kind of bargain Paille agreed to to stay here.

Calling on the team here to spread the word, retweet, follow, and get Haggs the Hack some followers:

Would be great to get this viral amongst Bruins fans and get more followers than Haggerty himself

Dude, I keep laughing.

This account was the only reason I checked twitter today.

Krispy Kreme....haha

Campbell > paille IMO but I think I'd rather Kelly instead of both. Not sure though.

Agreed

I'd happily let 'em both walk if we could re-up Kelly ...

The real Haggs has blocked me from following him

http://www.boston.com/spo...2/06/tim_thomas_anno.html

Thomas confirms he's not playing next year. tuukka agent just ordered an 8 ball.

Assuming Kelly doesn't come back and they re-sign poo and campbell.
I see the need for offensive help in top 9. Caron is on strike two. needs to step up

Lucic Krecji Horton
Marchand Bergy Seguin
Poo Peverly Caron
Paille Campbell Thornton

All in running for bottom 6, Bourque/MacD/Arniel / Camper / Knight / Spooner

Chara Boychuk
Seidenberg Hamilton
Ference Wolf

Krug / Cross / Warsovsky / Bartowski

Rask
Borat

Ironically, Timmy and Tuukka have the same agent ...

Now that it's official, it's Chiarelli's job to get rid of that final year of Tim's salary. Wow, if Chiarelli can find a way to bury Timmy's salary via trade, and utilizes Savard's LTIE, we could potentially roll something like this next season:

FORWARDS
Zach Parise ($7.500m) / David Krejci ($5.250m) / Tyler Seguin ($3.550m)
Milan Lucic ($4.083m) / Patrice Bergeron ($5.000m) / Nathan Horton ($4.000m)
Brad Marchand ($2.500m) / Chris Kelly ($3.000m) / Rich Peverley ($3.250m)
Daniel Paille ($1.300m) / Gregory Campbell ($1.500m) / Shawn Thornton ($1.100m)
Jordan Caron ($1.100m)

DEFENSEMEN
Zdeno Chara ($6.917m) / Johnny Boychuk ($3.367m)
Dennis Seidenberg ($3.250m) / Bryan Allen ($3.250m)
Andrew Ference ($2.250m) / Adam McQuaid ($1.567m)
Dougie Hamilton ($1.494m)

GOALTENDERS
Tuukka Rask ($3.500m)
Anton Khudobin ($0.875m)

BUYOUTS
Patrick Eaves ($0.258m)

I think I could live with that

... Although our goaltending situation is much weaker than we've become used to, there's not much we can do about it.

i like ^

I'm really not all that concerned about the goalie situation. I think we have two young studs. Would want a backup vet on a 2 way deal.

Because they can suspend him and the contract is valid for 2013 - 2014, that is also assuming the mayan calendar is off and the amero isn't instituted and the world doesn't collapse. someone might pick timmay up that needs to reach the floor without having to actually pay him. I can see that contract being tradable. someone like colorado, phoenix, florida and these others that need to get to the floor (colorado has a poop ton of RFA's)
http://capgeek.com/

it will backfire on timmay
trade his rights to columbus or some poop team like that who needs help getting to the cap floor

biggest issue is rask needs to be signed and has the same agent as thomas so hopefully that will not play into anything
if rasks agent asks for too much they can go (frank) themselves too
we can pick up vokoun for a year and have khudobin back him up

hey timmay, go (frank) yourself you just completely ruined your legacy in boston and made yourself out to be a selfish tool to the one team that gave you an opportunity

did i mention, he can go (frank) himself

Meh ... I'm not thrilled with the outcome, obviously. But IMO Timmy has every right to do whatever the (frank) he wants to. He pretty much single handedly delivered the only Bruins Stanley Cup I've ever witnessed. If it wasn't for the 35+ rule and PC handing out the extended term, it wouldn't be an issue. I'm not going to hold it against the guy because he wants to take some time to reconnect with his family ... he's turning out to be a total (frank)in nut job but whatever, that's his right. Deal with it and move on. He's off the books next year, PC just needs to get creative in the meantime.
