I hope this kid uses his skating to his advantage. Hopefully after seeing his buddy Caufield reach the Finals, it gives him incentive to get to the big league. |

I needed a laugh. Then I read that the Oil are paying Nurse > $9M /year.
That did the trick |

16 goals 20assists at 6’4” 220lbs on defense and throw in the amount of minutes he plays per game is pretty good no? Although I’m Not sure it’s 9mil good though. |

Darnell had a 60 minute game in the playoffs which is insane. He is a work horse for them. Seems like every decent young defenseman is getting paid too much this off season.
Werenski, Nurse, Dougie, Makar, Heiskanen. Outside of Makar those contracts seem a bit much right off the bat.
Hopefully the Bruins can work the cap magic again and keep McAvoy around 8 but it is getting harder to do that with each one of these massive pay days. |

He plays that many minutes because EDM pretty much has no choice.
I can see McAvoy getting 7.5-8 over 6-8 years. Easy decision for me to take McAvoy at 8M over Nurse at 9.25M

Good yes - no one is debating that.
$9.25M "good"?

donnie painted himself in a corner with his FA signings, I mean, why have two good, cheap young goalies, no one wants that.

Going into the season with two goalies with a combined 15 games played is a risky move.
Halak and Swayman at the bare minimum in my opinion. Ullmark isn't the sexy move but it has potential to be a good move.

I think Halak and Swayman would be more risky than Swayman and Ullmark. Halak had been struggling for a bit even before he got COVID. I don’t think either is ideal, but if I had to choose one or the other, I’d go Ullmark and Swayman.
Goaltending is also voodoo though, so who the hell knows |

Yeah I prefer Ullmark and Swayman but I honestly haven’t seen all that much of ullmark except against the Bruins. I think he kept some games close that shouldn’t have been |

I thought both Vladar and Swayman played well last year, and yes, short sample, but that looked like a position they could have saved a few bucks.

They still dropped from paying goalies 9.75 million to 5.75.. I think Tuukka still has a chance to come back. Guess it will depend on how good Ullmark is.

Krejci is not playing in NHL - so no need to worry about fitting him in.
Maybe if Bruins take a page out of TB playbook, Rask can come back just before post-season starts - assuming he signs a contract.

How does it work? Can Krejci sign for example a 900K contract in the NHL and come back to the Bruins once the Czech season ends? |

I don't think he's coming back at all.
