Chiarelli's already at 48 or 49 contracts ...

Know nothing about this kid ... But Chiarelli loves to troll the college ranks. Hopefully one of these days someone pans out

What's the limit again?

We can go into 2012 with the current group of guys...I'd still LOVE to get doan, but it seems like a long shot since some A-hole offered a 4 year 30 million dollar contract(F you, Islanders or Jets)

Moving 2 bodies like Krejci + Caron or Spooner/Knight for Bobby Ryan or Yandle would make me pretty freakin happy

What's the limit again?

That's what happens when you have 30 teams....and some of them are crappy with crappy GM's

Don't forget, 6 years ago, people didn't want to come to Boston. A lot of people felt the Chara and Savard contracts were big overpayments

I'm playing hockey today for the first time in about 5 years.....it's been nice knowing you

chara, yes
savvy, eh..more the term that people were worried about
same with lucic, when phil left he had to get signed and was overpaid
it's all about context...

what time?
load up on water throughout the day, helps big time
i am famous for puking the first 2 or 3 times i get back on the ice...the drinking water throughout the day helps your body stay hydrated...obviously..and by not guzzling a ton while playing your stomach isn't full...and BBBBBBBAAAARFF
stretch it biotch, stretch

marchand and a 2nd for yandle
yes, or no

That's a tough one ...

If Marchand keeps up the diving and faking routine, then yes, in a heartbeat.

If he stops that crap and just plays his game, then probably no.

------------------------------------------------------

I think UTE has to be the logical choice to go back the other way. We're loaded with centers ... And I ultimately see Seguin as the 1st line center of this group. Even without UTE, we still have Bergy, Peverley, Kelly, Soups, and eventually Seguin up the middle ... Pretty solid group.

The Yotes have also expressed their desire for a top line center, making UTE, not Marchand, the obvious candidate.

UTE the Yote ... Has a nice ring to it

PHX is dying for a center...but then again, they already lost Whitney, if they lose doan, too , then they will be dying for a 1st line since their 2 best wingers will be former Coyotes by that point.

Does Krejci/Caron + a pick get us either Yandle or Ryan?

I did ok....no puke, only fell once, only whiffed on a wrister once. Solid return. If I do that about 6 more times and drop about 15 I wont embarass myself out there.

wonder how my hammy's will feel tomorrow

Best part about hockey in AZ.....stepping off the ice into the warm sun. Better then trying to warm up a car in degrees in New Hampshire

No...Marchand is a unique player...can be a Richard sometimes, but not a lot of players like him...I like Yandle, but placing my bets on Dougie to make team...

then what about Krejci and Boychuck for Yandle?

Z & Hamilton
Nazi & Captain Planet
Yandle & Wolf

I like that D a lot

- bruinsbeer69

f that
and by f that, i would give up a 2nd or even a 1st...first before boychuk

bruins pick mid to late round, would take 5 years, if ever..for that pick to replace boychuk
if we are in the bottom 5 of the league that changes everything..we aren't

good article

- busher

this season is huge for him, needs to return to the player he was, not the one we saw too many times last year
rfa coming up....

also, not the end of the world if they don't do anything before the season..it would be nice to see if they give seguin a shot at center but i doubt it happens unless they really want to move ute
that's the only way anyone will know if he can fill a spot..he's still not ready to be a #1 center..hell, krejci isn't a #1 center

so would I...but not at that cost...Krejci gets flak time to time, but is a good player...would look at him for ryan tho...move seguin to centre...we are pretty good up the middle overall...

perhaps not a dominant guy but he showed his stuff when we won the Cup...

i think he got bit of a bad rap for it overall...a few times but not Burrows or Kesler like...now...thats (frank)ing embarrassing and Marchand aint like that...

I'm hoping that those antics last season were the result of just being tired and out of gas ...

Short summer, and it was well documented that Marchand partied his ass off

No excuses this season, though.
