<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>Agree to disagree. Grzelcyk can be a #3 D and I don't think you realize Keith has seriously declined over the years, it's just the Hawks that keep playing him on the first pair because they have no one else.
If CGY doesn't want to give up Hanifin, pass. As I said, he's been in the NHL for 5 years and he's still nothing more than a second pair D. You don't overpay for this kind of player.</div></div>

Thats fair. I suppose we'll find out in the coming years now that Grz has just resigned with us for 4 more years lol

I think Keith looks worse in front of a depleted Hawks team and average goal tending. Put him on a solid team like this and he could be an asset. Curious to see what he goes for when he finally does get traded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Hall was getting that or close to it wherever he signed. He turned fown 7 x 7.5 from Zona. He signed in Buffalo to play with Eichel and hoping to have a monster season stat wise and boost his value next year while hoping for better financial situation for the NHL in general.

Hoffman not taking 50 cents on the dollar. He may not be able to get the long term big $ deal he wants this year. But he’s not going to leave a couple of mil on the table either.</div></div>

I didn't realize you were so close to the Hoffman camp and understood his desire for money is greater than a chance to be on a true cup contender for a bit less. It's a hypothetical scenario that only works if he's willing to take the cut. Obviously its unlikely but not a impossible scenario given the market. Fin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>Perry isn't needed, we have Wagner and Kuhlman for RW4.

This is a massive overpay for Hanifin, he's a top4 D, not a first pair or elite. Rather have Grzelcyk.
Keith has an NMC but most importantly, he's 37 and don't give up Vaakanainen+2nd+Bjork for him, it's too much.
I'm not a fan of Killorn but whatever

Bruins have Studnicka, Senyshyn, Hughes, Frederic Lauzon, Zboril that need some playing time in the NHL or at least have a chance to show what they can do. Now you're acquiring too much players and they're blocked from that opportunity. Also looks like management will let them have a chance.</div></div>

Bruins should be in win now mode. The only player who has shown enough high end skill to crack the roster is Studnicka. Injuries will happen and he's the candidate i would have called up every time to slot a top 6 role. Unfortunately the others haven't shown enough in the AHL to make more of an impact than the players who are cracking the lineup.

The slight over payment for Hanifin is because Calgary probably doesn't even want to give him away. There has to be incentive. Hanifin is a better, younger defense man with more upside...Grz isn't a top pairing dman candidate. He's a solid 4 or 5 with potential but not enough. Between those guys i'm taking Hanifin every time.

Keith is 3 time stanley cup winner and still can play in a solid top 4 role and just eat up minutes. Currently something the Bruins don't have. You want a guy with that much experience on your roster when it matters. Bjork is a middle 6 player, Vak is unproven but top 4 potential, and the pick is the play that really gets the deal done.

I personally don't care much for Killorn either but the guy can play and some of that grit and scoring he has is exactly that kind of element the Bruins want.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Hall did not sign for half his worth. I expected Hall to do what was best for Hall, he’s incredibly selfish.

Perry did not do all that much in regular season. I don’t put much stock in small sample sizes. It’s wasting precious cap space to fix an area that does not need fixing.</div></div>

Hall signed a 1 year deal with a team thats unlikely to make the playoffs based on their moves so far. He got that money because he didn't sign with a contender. The scenario is entirely based on if Hoffman has a want to play with a contender for about half of what a flat cap salary market will give him.

For the entirety of a playoff run, as in getting to game 6 of the Stanley cup finals, Perry scored when it mattered and energized the team (which is exactly what you want from your 4th liners). He had 21 points in 57 games in the regular season...Wagner and Khulman had 16pts put together...that means he's an upgrade.
