Neil HD Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Bruins fans must be missing Benning really badly, because Sweeney is sooo not endearing himself to anyone with his transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7Nucks Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This certainly makes the Lack trade seem worse, and it was hard to swallow to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchable Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 LOL Rinaldo fetches a 3rd.... yet so did Pedan, but Lack is somehow worth the same? Bruins will love his meatheadedness. Sooo... Basically he has the same value as Lack? Wat.. So Rinaldo's value is the same as Lack? Ok then pfft.. This 3rd round pick is in two years. If you have any doubts about how much of a difference that makes, just look at the Bieksa fiasco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
