Maybe I'm just blowing this out of proportion because I'm pissed off right now... I'm kind of a pessimist by nature, and I don't like this... I'll give it 10 games and see if our hot streak doesn't continue, but we've already dropped 1 to TOR; the big change is Holden is in the locker room (whether he dressed or not). I'll be curious to see what happens over the next few games. I wonder what the lines will look like??? Either DeBrusk or Nash will be playing RW on line 2 probably Rick Nash.

during an interview with NBC Boston on Thursday.

“I think it’s been factored into conversations between me and [Bruins general manager] Donnie [Sweeney] that we have a group with some real togetherness there this season,” Cassidy said openly. “At the end of the day if you can add and make your team better then you always have to look at it, and Donny is looking at that right now.

“Adding Holden I think he’s done that and we’ve added some more depth. But after that I do worry about if we subtract somebody from the room. If you’re adding and you’re not subtracting, i.e. future assets, then as a coach you always prefer to go that way. But Donnie will do what’s best and as a coaching staff we’ll take it from there so to speak. But there is a good chemistry with that group…a very good chemistry in that locker room.”

I'm just going to keep posting this interview to every mock-up that has anyone tearing down Boston's defense before the playoffs... It isn't happening...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>6m for 5 years of a statue that doesn’t play defense, is a shell of his former self and going downhill. What do you call that? Intelligent?

They could retain half his salary i’d dtill say no. I’d rather have Beleskey for 2 more years than Looch for 5. The top 5 pick isn’t that much of incentive to me. Unlikey to land Dahlin who is the only sure thing star there. Love Tkachuk. Keep in mind though, just a few years ago Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhardt, Michael Dal Colle were top 5 picks. B’s took Pastarnak 25th that year. It’s a gamble not worth taking.</div></div>

It would be 4.6 with the retained salary, but I hear what you are saying... Like I said it was just an idea that got stuck in my head... sometimes the only way to get stuff like that out of my head is to put it out there and get some feedback; I didn't think it would be well received, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head. You are right, we have been doing pretty well with drafting in spite our low draft position and we would risk a draft bust just like any position in the draft, so there is still that risk. It just seemed tempting to want to take a top 5 pick this season with so many good players available, but I totally understand where you're coming from and why this wouldn't be a good idea. You'll have to excuse my momentary laps of judgement (I have them from time to time lol... I'm sure this won't be the last time)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FullSend</b></div><div>If we’re retaining almost half of his contract, for the rest of his contract (which is a long time).. as well as take on a horrid contract with someone playing in the AHL, I can guarantee you we aren’t adding a 2nd..
that’s what 6 mill in Edmonton.. again? What’s the point of this if that’s the case. We aren’t releasing cap if we do this deal. We’re just trading Postma for a 2nd, ew</div></div>

What if we took on Lucic ($1,336,667 retained), you guys took on Beleskey, we gave you DeBrusk + our 2018 1st round draft pick + (additional pieces) to move up in the draft for your top 5 pick??? Would this be of interest and if so what would those "additional pieces" need to be? This is just an idea I've had rolling around in my head...
