Ariz. and Boston working on a deal; several GMs talking right now on packed draft floor.

Bruins trying to move up to get Hanifin at No. 3. If so, Strome would probably go at No. 4.

If I'm Arizona, I hold Sweeney over the coals. Sweeney should know that these trades with nothing else will cause significant problems for him moving forward. He could be one and done. Picking up a top 3 pick might save his bacon.

Is Hannafin that much better a prospect than Hamilton? If the cost is all three first rounders to move up, they're basically trading Lucic and Hamilton for a backup goalie, prospect, and Hannafin. That seems like a piss-poor utilization of resources.

That's where I'm at.

No chance the #3 costs 3 first rounders though, right? RIGHT?

Nope, I hate this. Douige has higher upside and floor. And Hanifin will probably be a great NHL player.

As pleasant as you were at the bash.

Clearly unhinged.

For Sweeney? He will probably be happy giving up all three firsts, and Krug, and Pasta, and his daughter's favorite dog.

Hard to say he has a higher upside since Hanafin is a projected top 5 pick in a deep draft and has been compared to Doughty.
I'd argue they have similar upside with Hamilton obviously more likely to reach it and no question a higher floor. Still Hanafin could end up a better pro than Douggie.

See, excellent...these are the posts that belong here. In this thread.

4 fucking years for McQuaid?!?!?!?!?!?!!!

But he's a WARRIOR, who does WARRIOR things. He BLEEDS BLACK AND GOLD, and brings great TOUGHNESS and GRIT.

What is the O/U in Sweeney's press conference on the word "grit" and the phrase "tough to play against" when talking about the McQuaid signing? Total of 4.5?

Wait until Douggie signs for 2X McQuaid $$ for probably the same term...

Salem's Lot · Jun 26, 2015

The way this day is going, what are the chances that when I check my phone when I'm walking out of hockey town tonight at 9 that I don't want to throw it on to Rte 1? I'm praying that I'm pleasantly surprised.

Did anyone in the Bruins FO watch a single playoff game this year? You know who is tough to play against? Teams that can actually transition the puck up ice. McQuaid may be tough in front of the net but that is only out of necessity since the puck lives in his end when he is on the ice. McQuaid and Seids as a top 4 pairing for the next three years, let that sink in for a minute.

If I'm Rask I'm demanding a trade or raise at this point.

We should have had a bingo for the PC

grit
hard to play against
tough in the corner
Bruins hockey
sound defensively
tough decision
good core

AgentOrange · Jun 26, 2015

Lucic and Hamilton are gone and almost no cap space has been cleared. The Bruins have clearly weakened next year's team quite a bit.

We have to be talking rebuild at this point, right?

j44thor · Jun 26, 2015

Only Krejci, Bergeron and Rask have longer contractual commitments than McQuaid.
Who knows if that is still the case by say 10PM tonight.

McDrew · Jun 26, 2015

Anyone know who Sweeney's dealer is? I need a new one.

*i actually don't.

Ferm Sheller · Jun 26, 2015

I have to say, it is kinda neat to see the B's logo on the NHLN draft order crawl three times in a row.

Be cool to do it and keep 1 of 13-15.

jsinger121 · Jun 26, 2015

I hope the Bruins can dump some salary to Arizona along with picks and some prospects since Zona needs to add salary.

cshea · Jun 26, 2015

Lol, Rask name on the floor according to Shannon of Sportsnet.

Too soon?

If he's traded, I'm not liable for what I'll do to Neely, Sweeney, and their families.

You know, at this point - trade Tuukka, roll with Subban/Jones - and just stock up on young, great talent.

Dougie Hamilton is 22 and a near elite defenseman. He'd be perfect for the rebuilding Bruins. I wonder what it'd take to get him.

Booooooooooooo!

edit: and with a remark that gets a cheer. Dammit, nothing is right today!

TSC · Jun 26, 2015

Is anyone else concerned that we're now about 15 min away from pick #3 being made - and it seems as if there's been no movement from the Bruins?

Do the Bruins pick 13-14-15 if Arizona is unreasonable? Who do they pick if they go all 3 in a row?

brienc · Jun 26, 2015

Lol, Bettman turned the hostility around quickly there

TSC · Jun 26, 2015

Gary Bettman makes Sina like hand and head movements when talking. It's frightening.

TFP · Jun 26, 2015

I'm not gonna lie, the idea of the Bruins standing up their calling 3 straight names is kinda funny.

Then I remember the McQuaid contract and want to kill myself.

TFP · Jun 26, 2015

It's time for my favorite NHL draft game! Girlfriend or Sister?
