    It feels like Brock's rookie season was nothing more but a big bold-faced lie. His Mike Bossy-like shot is long-gone and it looks like it will never ever return.

    Ever since he had that off season wrist injury, I believe after his first season, his shot has never been the same.  It's still hard, but his accuracy has just become abyssmal.

    Bear was not replaced by Chatfield. He was pushed out of the line up, because of Burns and Pacioretty soon to be cap hit off of LTIR. 

    .....not to mention his slow recovery from COVID, the rumour that Brindamour thought he still wasn't back in shape and Friedman's nugget that he asked for a trade last Summer.

    Based on comments I've seen from Canes fans, this deal is a cap dump.  They now have $8.6M in free cap space which they'll need when Pacioretty comes back

    I'm sure that's partly true, but it doesn't explain why they didn't play him in a single game this season.  I think Friedman's scoop that he requested a trade this summer is probably ithe other part of the explanation.  And that part might hurt too much for 'Canes fans to mention.;)

    Using your logic then, why did the Bruins 'sell low'? Dipietro has some question marks, and Myrenberg is apparently sooooo unknown.

     

    There's obviously a reason why the Bruins targeted Myrenberg and why they dumped Studnicka.

    The Bruins have little to nothing in the way of solid goalie prospects.  They needed Dipietro more than we do, but as you say, he has some question marks.  I'm pretty sure that's why they asked for something else to be thrown into the deal.  They clearly didn't get another one of our top prospects, but they did at least get something.

  5. In their 2021 Future Watch edition, THN had Studnicka rated as the 41st best prospect in the NHL, just ahead of names like Shane Pinto, Samuel Poulin, Thomas Bjornfot, Rasmus Sandin, etc.  Myrenberg has never even made it into the Canucks' top 10 prospect ratings.  I have to think there's nowhere else in the league where Myrenberg would be thought of as being a prospect anywhere near the same level as Studnicka, except on CDC.
