Yk bergeron is retired fully right?

Calgary accepts.
In my mind, Lindholm could be a good fit for Boston.
Why is Bergeron on the Boston roster?
He's already retired.

How’s that a nightmare for the Leafs? I think the worst nightmare is they keep their cap space and their picks.

I’m OK acquiring Lindholm, but I prefer Hertl when I look at the pending contract

There is talk that Marchand tries to get Bergy to come back for playoffs, but I think Bergy is good with his choice

There has been some buzz about him still continuing to be skating and practicing post alumni game.

Spittin chicklets were talking about it.

If you also pay attention to bergys retirement statement he mentions that an 82 game season is too long for him. 1. Because his fam and 2. Because he doesn’t think his body could do it again

So take it as you will but if he was to join in February that would be about 20-30 games, they could give him some rest days if needed, he has chemistry with most the players so not like he’s in a new system out of place.

Seeing how the B’s are doing this year if I’m bergy and unsatisfied with how last season went I’d take a deep consideration of returning if my family approves of it.

Spittin chicklets podcast explains it, apparently bergy has still been skating and practicing post alumni game. Some references from his retirement statement hint at some things that maybe an 82 game season is too long and would be to hard on his body, maybe he’s open to seeing a return based on how the bruins were doing around contract deadline

If Bergy is willing to come back, they’d target Hanifin.

Calgary accepts, That offer would easily be blown away for Elias Lindholm, A weak prospect and late picks isn't getting it done.

Lol Cgy accepts says the Vancouver fan

Flames decline. No interest in Merkulov. If you aren't including Poitras or Lohrei you probably aren't getting Lindholm

Hear that, Leafs fans...we got Grz for peanuts.

(or was that not the point here)

I hope we don’t get Lindholm, because that is an overpay. I’m willing to pay a first and a second under the right circumstances. I’m curious to see if the weakness of the 2024 draft is a consideration or if Calgary basically succumbs to recency of PR.

I’m concerned about the regression that Lindholm has shown and committing to 7 or 8 years. Not giving up prospects of that caliber for a rental. Neither will anyone else.

Rather not pay that for Lindholm, overpayment for an overrated 2C whos gonna wanna be overpayed on his extension this offszn.

Hes also being outscored by current Bruins 1C: Charlie Coyle

Bergys done, dont ruin it, even if he came back hed be nowhere near the player he once was
