Eh, they are going to get him for a literal bag of pucks. I think they clearly below Boston, Carolina, Toronto, Tampa and maybe New Jersey (especially if one of the later 2 land Meier) but in this particular situation, you make it happen.
On the Bruins website he has been the Bruins “leader” in GAA since his one and only game. It bothered me a little, so maybe they will update it.
For a 2nd rounder. Niederreiter is signed next year as well at $4m.
All moot if their best goalie in the league goalie can't figure out how to play again.Eh, they are going to get him for a literal bag of pucks.

Better than the Canes.Sounds like the Timo Meier sweepstakes are nearing a conclusion.

That sucks. Hopefully Meier and Pastrnak aren’t tight.They’ve got a ton of room and Hughes and Hischier signed long term.
He’s technically not a rental as an RFA but has a $10 million qualifying offer to retain his rights.Looks like it'll be as a costly rental.

Bruins trade looks sweet in comparison to that...
At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this is one of the biggest overpays I've ever seen. The value of a near-ELC contributor (they hope?) in a cap world.
That graphic seems to indicate that the 1st going to Chicago isn't a conditional pick.The Leafs continue to load up. They acquire Jake McCabe, Sam Lafferty 2024 and 2025 4th round picks from Chicago for a 2025 conditional 1st, 2026 2nd, Joey Anderson and Pavel Gogolev. Chicago is retaining 50% of McCabe.

Maybe it isn't? I got the protected part from the "insiders"That graphic seems to indicate that the 1st going to Chicago isn't a conditional pick.
They didn't have time to Photoshop in the new unis! LOL.I also find it a little weird that the "CHI receives" part of the graphic is under the Tornoto player picture, and the "TOR receives" is under the Chicago player picture.
Definitely. Right now the B's road to the SCF would be Penguins, Tampa or Toronto, and then one of Carolina/NJ/NYR. It's a gauntlet.Getting out of the East is going to be a bloodbath this year.
Yep. Beefed up the bottom 6, which was their biggest weakness, and added what amounts to a Muzzin replacement on defense to bump everyone down a notch. They are formidible.That leafs trade is annoyingly competent.
This is getting ridiculous. You can make a good argument that the top 6 teams in the league are in the East, and with the trade deadline raiding of the west done by all of the top eastern teams it is entirely likely that whoever emerges into the East finals will be so worn down from the first two rounds that they have nothing left. I know these things are cyclical, but still... Note that, as a somewhat casual Leafs fan (I'm a baseball guy mostly), I stlll think the Bruins probably made the best move and look the most juggernaut-y. One hell of a team. I can't help but cheer for them, always have (Bobby Orr played juniors in my hometown and I grew up with a Cheevers "stitches" mask hanging on my bedroom wall...)Getting out of the East is going to be a bloodbath this year.
