Leafs are nabbing him 11x8, gotta get that big body on the blue line

Can't see him going to another team. He'll retire or come back with the Bruins. If the nhl plans on doing the bubble next year and players have to quarentine for months away from their families again, I see him retiring. Shame he won't have a final send-off in front of the fans.

but he doesn't shoot right tho

he can split games with Mo, it's ok

11m X 8m

He wants to retire as an islander.

So true, maybe he comes back. Tells bruins to sign him on a 2 way minimum. Plays first game and Retires.

I think they said on TV during the game he will either be on another team or retire. As if they know he's not coming back to boston. They kind of stated it like it was fact he wouldn't be back.

This team has it way to easy.
Lets be honest 1/2 the division sucks. OTT, DET, FL all bottom feeders. Buffalo is a step up from them but still bad.
TOR is a mess with no defense and selfish play.
The only other team in the division is TB, and if they get lucky and a Metro wild card team eliminates them they play nothing but weak teams all the way to the conference finals.

Boston makes the playoffs next year not because they are good, but because the rest of the division blows.
This team is getting to old to compete. The speed is lacking in the top 6, I think they realize that. Bergeron is still a good player but he's a shell of the guy who use to start in dzones and move the puck up ice and dominate play. The vast majority of his starts now are in the Ozone because they know he doesn't have the legs.
DK is no different, he's not the player he was and he's losing steps.

They need youth, building up Studnicka into some over inflated name doesn't really help. They did the same crap to Donata but then reality hit. Studnicka got 5 games this playoffs, he did nothing.
That's a more realistic point of view that 2nd rounders don't come in and become franchise players often. They got a 24% chance to be average 300 game NHL players. Giving the guy absurd expectations is a sure fire way to run the guy out of town later when it becomes apparent it's really hard to be a franchise player.

They need speed and youth in the top 6, their farm system doesn't have it, and not being pushed by lower teams doesn't help them acquire it.
If this team was in the metro it would be a different story. It's a dog fight with the younger teams trying to claw their way up. It's pushing teams there. CBJ, CAR, NYI, NYR PHIL all clawing at those stops WSH and PIT have held for so long. It magnifies their holes and in some way helps them fix them. But BOS doesn't have that. The holes stay there until it's a point that you can't fix it.

Yep! Totally agree, I hadn't actually heard what the TV analysists had said. I was just throwing out some thoughts I had.
