@Jessemedscience Then they should attach assets. No reason to replace a bad contract w a bad contract. Thats moving to stand still. They had to do it w Backes; they haven’t learned. The goal should be more “clean slate” than “swap & gamble”. GIVE korpisalo away. Buyout only other option for EL
@Jessemedscience I said the same about Lindholm’s potential when we were rumored to want him a few years back. “He’s the answer! Here’s what they need” No no, like Larkin, he’s a step in the right direction. (Depending on price, bc you still need to build around him)
@bruinscc25 Honestly though, we re so far behind that would bring us up to where we should be (w/o an incompetent front office) at which point, THEN we’d need to make a swing for a difference maker to get us over the edge. What you suggested would be the preliminary work. Which they should
@Jessemedscience Dude, I gotta say, you are the most level headed, realistic, sometimes (most of the time) against the norms Bruins fan on here. I’ve been fighting with these pink hats for years. It’s fun to read someone’s like-minded thoughts. Props man. Appreciate your content.
@BruinsMedia11 It they get a Tuch or Giroux, or if they traded for someone like Ryan O’Reilly or something they could give them an A, promote Pasta I suppose. But you lose that little extra incentive in FA. I still think Eichel gets traded here eventually. Prob once he’s washed. Smh
@BruinsMedia11 Not specifically. But they should roll with 3 alternates until an outsider becomes available. It’s a good bargaining chip in free agency. Like they did with Chara .… should’ve been Eichel.
I guess the only viable name (albeit a long shot) would be Brady Tkachuk
@Jessemedscience Like your take Jesse. But I just wanna add, they should have started this process at the deadline. 1) they’d have less to do rn/ahead in the process 2) teams tend to pay a little more at the deadline then over the offseason 3) could’ve gotten something for Arvidsson
@NeilHardenenxn@Jessemedscience It’s one step. Of many. But without taking thaaaaat step, the other steps are kinda pointless. They’re a mess. They need a shakeup. They need to ship out about 18 3rd liners and focus less on “gambles” and get some sure fire, top 6 firepower, then fill out the roster around them
