I guess we'll see in a few years..
I remember one article, or two, discussing whether the Leafs were in the market for a 'stay-at-home' defenseman after picking Jacob Middleton, and I'm just like, it's one pick out of eleven picks.

Good a time as any to switch avatars.

I guess you wanted Dale Weise that badly huh?
He's going to be 30 by the contract expires. I'm fine with it. All we need now is a few trades here and there and we will be set.

Bruins admit they took a future third liner in the 1st round:

At least Montreal isn't doing this
I hope Carr and Danault sign soon
watching footage... i just want to say it's so understated how high Matthews skill level is
here's a gif of him deflecting a pass upwards, hitting it midair over the defensemans head, skating around the defenseman then hitting it in midair again to settle it down all in full flight
edit: ^^^ WTF did Bruins inherit our scouting/drafting people from before? You never ever EVER draft for down your lineup. ALWAYS top line.

Worse, you gave a 3rd liner 6 years at 3.9m lol
At least the broons haven't paid that kid yet.

Shaw doesn't have an NTC or NMC
So that's a positive
So that's a positive
Less than Brandon Sutter and Justin Abdelkader!
If I were Brendan Gallagher and his agent I'd be fucking livid right now tbh
Trying to be healthy is the reason lol. Easier to focus on getting better physically when I'm not erasing any and all progress I made the previous week every single weekend.

$3.9M is such an odd number.
"I want $4M."
"How about 3?"
"It has to be 4."
"Look, we can't do 4."
"3.9 then."
"Deal. Sign here."

Moderation my friend. Moderation.
the amount of well known "bad contracts" surrounding Shaw in that chart is real scary
I know, and that's what I'll stick to when I do start having a beer or two a few days a week in August or whenever.
All in all hes a bit overpaid but its not the worst contract in the world. I just don't get why you have to commit yourself 6 years to a bottom 6 forward, why? Since when did that work? Sure he ain't old but every year, there a bunch of depth forwards that can be had for cheap with similar production. 30 point 15 goal guys.
Especially when you need to allocate that money into maybe a top6 forward since your team can't score for shit balls?

and we already have sooooo many bottom 6...
Danault, Carr, Brown, Flynn, Andrighetto, Matteau, Byron, Mitchell, Desharnais
that's if I ignore De La Rose, McCarron and Hudon
we're wasting so much cap space on "depth"

Carr and Andrighetto aren't going to be Bottom six players.
I can see Hudon Plekanec and Andrighetto being a line next year
Ew, it's the Beleskey contact with an extra year..
if that's our second line, might as well just change my avatar to Thomas the Tank Engine now

The first one too, unless Captain deader-than-mighty-no-9 decides to wake up and actually play hockey this year, and if Galchenyuk can stay consistent, which he never did so far so that's not a given. You know as well as me that if Galchenyuk has a couple of bad games, Desharnais will be back on the first line

you're always the positive one but that post tells us you're the most twisted of us all, that's disgusting
Omg never thought of that. If we killed our shot at Stamcock for a plug.....I'll go nuclear
nah the plan for the stamcock always implies getting rid of Plekanec and DD anyway, we'd have to dump a couple of dumbasses for sure, I don't think Shaw really matters here considering he's just replacing Eller
lol FACK UUUUU

You fucking know Therrien would do it
Your going to Sign Weise for 4 years and not sign Hoffman
Apparently Mike Babcock Jr. was invited to Sens camp
