What SJH is too nice to say I'm not - you've been warned about this several times. The next time you post unsourced crap like that (especially obvious fake crap) you're done for awhile. If you can't control yourself we'll do it for you.

Pretty sure they aren't going to "leave the team along"
Otherwise it wasn't terrible.

First time anyone's said I'm too nice.

What Napkin said. Sounds like this has been an ongoing issue.

Seriously, that should have been posted in the "Bruins Trade Deadline **SPOILERS**" thread. Some of us want to wait 10 more minutes to be disappointed.

It's a terrible photoshop and never should have been posted.

Won't happen again.

I mean - it's only probably the 15th time or so he's posted something that's ended up being fake.
I think you are giving him way too much credit. He has over 23K posts and 99% of those are from twitter. His fake rate is much, much higher than that.

Maybe it's not a fake, as it seems entirely consistent with the choke job Sweeney just laid on us this deadline.

At least they didn't trade another 3rd round pick for a fucking dipshit named Zac. Ugh. This brings all the rage back from the summer during the McQuaid/Rinaldo/Hamilton fiasco.

I type about SJH losing his shit often enough that it's pretty much the first suggested autocomplete for my phone.
I like Nap's idea about a law clerk doing that particular work for you. Low people on the totem. So, someone like Soxhop, essentially. How delicious.

Guys, new threads are good. Breaking out the trades to their own threads.

So combine the moves and the B's gave up 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th rd picks to rent Liles and Stempniak? Ouch
The team's strength really appears to be in amateur scouting right now. That is a lot of bullets to take away. This team is still far from a playoff certainly given they have the hardest remaining schedule in the NHL.

I can't blame Sweeney for not trading Loui, if the right deal wasn't out there, then so be it. I think posters would have been a lot more upset if he had gotten $.75 on the $1.
Well I would rather get something than nothing, but I also don't believe they should re sign him because they will need that money for extensions for Krug, Marchand, Pastrnak, etc. Maybe they feel differently and want to re sign him still, which would be a mistake I think.

The Bruins will likely have Edmonton's 2nd round pick in 2017 (unless Chiarelli goes senile), so they basically took their "free" 2nd rounder and moved it for immediate help. Beyond that, I'm not sure I care all that much about the lower round picks. The Bruins have a lot of prospects in the system already, and probably figured they could sacrifice future AHL roster fodder for playoff depth.

I don't love the moves, but they're not a disaster either.

So there is no price that would satisfy you to resign Loui? Like at all? He's just completely off the table for you?

In what fucking world is a 20-30 goal scorer and 50-70 point player not worth it to resign? This forum is like the fucking twilight zone lately. It's just fucking weird.

Just because a 2nd rounder is "free" doesn't mean it doesn't still have value. Is the difference between Lee Stempniak and Brandon Pirri that great? Seems like a significant overpay for Stempniak given the market.
