I want nothing to do with Gardiner, AA or Duclair

y. pasta and Marchand r out and u have not good LD depth

I like it as a last resort option. But I would do different lines.

Duclair - Bergy - Smith
AA - Krejci - Kase
jDB - Coyle - Studnicka

It sure is interesting, Duclair seems to put up some good scoring numbers wherever he goes (Ariz, CBJ, OTT, etc.)
Yet nobody seems to want to keep him around long term.
I am just wondering what the issue is?
I do know that he is self-represented with no sports agent, so maybe he is a bit difficult to deal with from the business side?
Or is it more of an issue with his attitude or personality (locker room type stuff)?
Or both?

So what if they are out, its only to start the season. They have internal options to fill in short term and adding a guy like Gardiner doesn't help their LD depth. Gardiner does a great job helping the Bruins already....by playing for the other team.

Athanasiou sucks defensively and Duclair is inconsistent/attitude issues. If the Bruins were to add a forward, it should be someone better than DeBrusk, not as good or less. When 63 and 88 are back, where do they play? You already have Bjork on the 4th line when he shouldn't be on the 4th line.

Gardiner can't defend, we need a good two-way top4 LHD.

lol true

Not a Gardiner fan, I’m also not a fan of giving up a second round pick for a guy you’re gonna end up leaving unprotected for expansion. Roll with the kids thru the injuries/LHD and if it ain’t working pull the trigger on a 1 year player.

Gardiner is krug-lite so i can see it. Its not a bad option they probably can get him cheaper than that even.

Ya its weird to see he's only 24yr old and in 6yrs has already played for 5 different teams

Seattle has better options and rentals are pretty common anyways

Thats what im saying, id rather have the B's roll with what they have, and if it is a problem then trade for a rental. Rather than trade a 2nd rounder for an average defensemen signed for 3 more at 4mil.
