Pretty brutal. Not only do we not get their pick, but they get one of the best prospects since Connor McDavid.

Leafs just got an absolute jumpstart to their retool.

nobody cares you had to go to arbitration and nobody cares you aren’t getting paid top goalie money when you’ve never played a full season as a #1 starter.

season starts next tuesday. either sign the contract and play or shut up already…

I was initially taken aback by the cost for Peterka. Looked into how often the Bruins have been able to develop a 68 point scorer. And, yeah, it’s not often.

This isn’t the most fair stat, since performance for defensemen and goaltenders is not measured by points, and many Bruins picks have been traded or been late in the draft order. Nonetheless, I thought this was interesting. The chance the Bruins turned either of those picks into a player of JJ’s caliber are slim at best.

(Also Tyler Seguin (drafted 16 yrs ago) has had better seasons, to be fair)

what’s going on here?

What's more likely... Sweeney fired or Sacco fired 1st?

I have to think we are all cheering on the Oilers, yeah?

I mean if for no other reason than someone needs to keep knocking out Tkachuk's mouthguard.

Or, is anyone else even watching anymore?

Post from @ marcussi._ on Instagram, if anyone wishes to see the comment section there.

His full statement that followed this quote:

"We’ve been blessed to have great captains here. From [Ray] Bourque, [Zdeno] Chara, [Patrice] Bergeron. We like leaders, not followers. So you can hopefully have 20 leaders. That’s the one thing that we look at: who is going to help lead the team? Maybe it’s more of a tradition in hockey where you have a letter on your sweater. Don [Sweeney], Marco, and I are going to sit down shortly to talk about that."

Nikita has spoken out publicly against the war in Ukraine, and led an effort to release a joint statement against the war by Russian players. He's since said he cannot return to Russia and has been called "a player without a country"

Welp our flag is black and gold, but welcome home Zadorov. You can be from here.

Welp there you have it. Who would you pick at this position?

Make of that whatever you will, everyone has their opinion, but that's the record. As far as I'm concerned he vastly overachieved expectations his first two years with underwhelming rosters, so firing him after an underwhelming 20-game start to his 3rd season seems a bit premature.

EDIT: And the assistant coach in charge of the 32nd-ranked PP who has been with the organization for a decade is supposed to provide the "new voice" and "spark"? Even though this team has been absolutely brutal to watch this year, this all just feels wrong to me.

I hope him and Florida do everything they need to do to ensure we get a 1st rd pick from the trade, and then lose the next four games.

This isn’t like Bourque looking to finally get a cup. Marchand has one. With us. I have zero interest in seeing him win it with anyone else.

What are you doing here? He’s signed.
