@BruinsBenders As I sit in my Calgary office listening to Flames fans discuss the 💩show that is their rebuild...I wonder if there is a possibility where they use their massive cap space to take back Lindholm & his contract while gaining pick or prospect 🤷♂️

@BruinsBenders What are your thoughts on the possibility of the Bruins sending an offer sheet to one, or even more, of the remaining RFAs? Screw the draft picks; run it like Vegas and bring in players who can help now.
Or do they go after one of the UFAs still available?
@BruinsBenders Pasta would bring in more than Tkachuk’s 3 x 1st…..but what if Bruins trade Pasta to SJ for Stenberg, Verhoeff, 2027 1st AND SJ has to take E. Lindholm.
Would you sacrifice other assets you could get to dump Lindholm?

Would really like to see some sort of Thomas, Kyrou, Parayko deal that includes a 2026 and 2027 1st with perhaps Minten, Lohrei, and prospect included.
Am I out to lunch on this?

@BruinsBenders I really enjoyed the offer sheet idea. Trade the Leafs & FLA pick for assets, then use B's 1sts next 2 yrs to offer sheet. Definitely a viable option

@BruinsBenders With the draft Friday, what rumored available players would you trade the 7th overall pick for?
Rasmus Andersson? Would you need to have something else added to sweeten the pot?

This is awesome insight. I coached against Brad during this time, and he was not the best player on his team....however he was the most impactful when on the ice. Great message for any aspiring athlete.
Brad Marchand in 2018: “I was never the best kid on my team — anyone will tell you that. My buddies were better players. As we got older, they were getting all the attention from the junior teams. I’ll never forget, when we were 12 years old our coach gave this speech in the locker room before a game, and he said, ‘There’s thousands of kids like you in Canada. There’s thousands more all over the world. You know what the statistics say? The statistics say that only 0.01% of you will make it to the NHL.’
I just always remembered that stat, and I would think to myself, ‘Man, if I’m not even the best kid on my pee-wee team … there’s no chance. How could I ever get noticed?’
That same pee-wee season, something else happened that took my mindset a step further. We were playing against our rivals, Cole Harbor, in some important game, and they had this monster forward on their team who always killed us.
During the game, the kid took a run at my brother, and he smoked him. For as much as we’d mess with one another at home, if you ever hurt my brother, it was like a red light went off inside me. I’d fight you.
So we went out, and every time the kid touched the puck, one of us took a run. He got so pissed off that he took a slashing penalty right at the end of his shift, and we got a power play. We ended up scoring the game-winning goal with him in the box, and I had this realization like, ‘OK … if I have a 0.01% chance, this might be one way of getting people to notice me.’
I have done things that have stepped over that line, and I’ve paid the price for it.... There’s a lot of people out there in the hockey world who love to say, ‘Winning is everything. It’s the only thing.’
Do they really mean it? How far are they willing to go? Maybe it was my size, or just the way I was born, but I’ve always felt like you have to be willing to do anything — literally anything — in order to win. Even if that means being hated. Even if it means carrying around some baggage.
If I played the game any other way, you absolutely would not know my name. You wouldn’t care enough to hate me, because I wouldn’t be in the NHL.” playerstribu.ne/Marchand
@FriedgeHNIC Any chance the Marchand trade was an agreement to let him chase a cup only to have him resign in Boston in the offseason?

@BruinsBenders What do you think the 3-5yr plan for the Bruins should be.......compared to what you think the Bruins will do for a 3-5yr plan moving forward?
This season is like an old dog that you love, it should be put down, but you keep it holding on because of nostalgia.

I really hope they sell off all assets and build around the young core 3. Major change needs to happen.

Dating apps should let us add testimonials or good reviews to our profiles. If going on a 1st date is like a job interview, then I should be able to provide positive references.

This was my attempt at driving to work this morning. Pulled out of my neighbourhood and turned around. My regular 30min drive was an hour 15min (and climbing). Seems like a perfect day to work from home.
Stay safe out there kids.
