Sharpshooter Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Between this and Bergeron retiring, kind of an end of era in Boston (well partly), except for Marchand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Pavel Zacha 1st line center...don't think they'll set the world on fire next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 When I read the start of the headline from the start page it said "David Krejci to an" and I was really confused for a second. Happy retirement Krejci! Would be nice to see Boston implode with the rat leading the ship now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean kind of? LOL. They may not even be a playoff team at this rate. Pavel Zacha is their first-line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Kind of meant yes, basically, okay? lol All of this makes this past postseason worse for them. No more super team now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) This whole thing is weird. You have to think that both Bergeron and Krejci, both career Bruins, gave them a really good indication they were likely to or at least leaning towards retiring, yet they didn’t get a C or try to keep money aside to acquire one. Really strange and seemingly careless of them, with the rest of the roster still being in good shape. I heard a rumor on Sean Couturier to Boston, but I can’t see them risking that. Already over 30, big contract with a lot of term, coming off 2 back surgeries and hasn’t played in like 20 months.

Even after moving Taylor Hall to Chicago without retention and buying out Mike Reilly, they are sitting $400k under the cap after re-signing their RFAs and new contract for Pastrnak kicking in. Not sure what you expect them to do in a salary cap world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shed salary, and still ended up with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
