    Bruins took what, the 22nd, 27th and 37th with the 13th, 14th, and 15th picks? I feel like they got these picks to move up to the #3 spot but couldn't get the job done. That Hamilton deal was horrible, that kid is gonna be a star in this league.

    The Oilers got Cam Talbot, which is nice but does nothing for them. You could put Martin Brodeur in his prime back there and he'd get lit up. Viktor Fasth and Ben Scrivens aren't bad goalies, they just have no defense in front of them.

    Penguins don't screw up the first day. Pretty easy to do with no draft picks and you don't make any trades, but they didn't make any bad trades and overpay for a top 6 forward so I can't be mad.

    was the team you were hearing edmonton or someone else?

    wait till the season opener bro, we've still got spots to fill on D. and talbot isn't the end of the goalie hunt, i hope to add niemi, ramo, or neuvirth to try and push talbot.

    looks like the oilers D will be:

    UFA (Sekera?) - Fayne
    Klefbom - Schultz (or trade - Burns? Byfuglien?)
    Reinhart - Gryba

    Should be an okay defence with structure and systems implemented, just doesn't that that top pairing talent. Dougie woulda been nice right now, it cheeses me that the Flames got him by matching the Oilers offer lol.

    Forwards tho:

    Pouliot - Nugent-Hopkins - Eberle
    Hall - McDavid - Yakupov
    Draisaitl - Lander - Pakarinen
    Hendricks - Gordon - Klinkhammer

    Hype.

    I'd bite the bullet and offer Yakupov+ something small for Burns. I know Burns is 30+ but he is the exact type of offensive D man we're missing. Takes pressure off of Klefbom and Fayne and Shultz (if they decide to keep him) I

    and the thing is if Draisatl breaks out in the next 2 years we could move Nuge for an actual number 1 D.

    Burns would be sick, but I doubt SJS is willing to part with him at this time. Our best assets have expired since they were draft picks. Conversations would probably start at Yakupov + 2016 1st (great to guaranteed chance that its a lottery pick based on our current holes in defence).

    We don't need an undisputed top guy like Doughty, just one or two players who can play top pairing minutes consistently to help limit the numbers of the younger guys we're going to usher in.

    Burns, Byfuglien etc.

    Bruins are collapsing, Very many odd moves so far this off season. They seem the be rebuilding but Hamilton is a guy they trade away? makes no sense

    Also La terminates the contract of Mike Richards. Apparently he had an incident at the border and language in his contract allows it to be terminated. Huge gain if LA can pull it off. Seems fishy tho

    Bruins flip Martin Jones to the Sharks for a 2016 1st round pick and Sean Kuraly.

    At least Sweeney got the Lucic deal right.

    burns is one of the most underrated players in the league. he would be a great pick up--i would rather have burns three years from now than yakupov three years from now, never mind their ages.

    lombardi is having the worst day of his career. the richards fiasco, plus jones is in his division? christ.

    Bruins trade Reilly Smith for Dorchester native Jimmy Hayes and sign Matt Beleskey for 5 years/$19 mill.

    Sweeney redeeming himself a little bit. Savard's contract also traded to Florida in the Hayes/Smith deal.

    Caps get Williams. Best game seven player in the league to the worst game seven team in the league. Very happy about this.

    well they have Wiliams and Oshie now. Don't really know if it really does anything for them next year unless Kuz turns into a legitimate 2c.

    He was great the second half of the season. Could easily have put up 55-60 points if he had a good first half, and was one of our best players in the playoffs. Oshie fits into the 1RW spot which has been a revolving door of grinders for the last three or four seasons. Assume Williams will be 2RW which is an upgrade over both Ward and Brouwer.

    I'm obviously biased but I don't think there are many holes in this team right now.

    williams is an upgrade over ward--williams has slowed down, but skating was never ward's strength. i'm not sure williams is better than brouwer over 82 games. he'll be nice to have in the playoffs, though.
