depth and defense and taking pressure off Kopi is good but we need scoring wingers. we got time waiting for QB and the others to develop but Blake gave this dude 6 years.

goal scorers, do it Rob!

i'm hoping we all get to see Byfield a bit more this season. haven't paid attention to his development last year but wonder if he'll be a regular in the lineup right from the start next year for y'all

he didnt get much time only a handful of games. he was put on the 3rd line (IIRC got one game as 2C) and didnt do much especially since he was centering a bunch of plugs. apparently he has different options on where he can start the season so I'm hoping they dont rush him and send him back to the OHL or to Ontario/AHL

he better have been spending his offseason doing 2 a days in the gym and eating 4x4s animal style twice a day

rolaholic what's the story with Danault? top six? bottom six? scoring? playmaking?

More of a 3C but he's gonna help a lot on the penalty kill and overall defensively.

Kind of sad to see him go given what you guys offered him, should've been able to match that but I get why MB didn't.

Likely banking on Jake Evans stepping up next season.

thanks for the info. I guess a good move but doesn’t really address how bad we are at scoring but long term a top defensive forward will be valuable next to a bunch of kids.

looks like Ronny had some tricks up his sleeve after all, got a 2nd rounder for nothing

Halak as a back-up for Demko.

At 1.5MM AAV. Okay Jimmy.

Reaves to the Rangers.

I'm thrilled we're finally rid of him. Garbage hockey player. Got a feeling Tom Wilson isn't going to act so tough against the Rangers now though.

Our bottom 6 is just there to fight and throw bodies around Still need a top 6 center tho ASAP but nobody’s touching our young skilled players with out catching a fade next season

Damn, he really brought back a 3rd? Really solid return for him.

PAIN

one of my favorite Bruins ever

 

[DeadsetAce]

please don't do something stupid for Eichel now cause of this.

worried this means Coyle as 2nd line center instead of playing on the 3rd line with Haula

 

[cubanref]

[DeadsetAce]

NHL board of governors adding ads to jerseys in 2022-23...lame as ****

 

[Bad Religion]

NHL 22 and the greatest American born hockey player of all time gracing the cover (I would assume; I cant really think of any good American players).

 

[DeadsetAce]

[frink85]

Hopefully it isn’t just a reskin of ‘21 with next gen graphics

Completely new engine for NHL (Frostbite) so you will most likely see a pretty significant difference.
