IMHO they are better off improving team defense than chasing one or two ideal D-men...former is a lot easier to achieve on short-term contracts while they ride out the vet contracts this year.

(Honorable mention to Boeser) Crazy...have to assume they at least have one SC over the last few years if they had picked the 16 - 18 group...great way to start the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hoglander can play with Petey and Brock then Jake can play left wing on a new scoring line with Miller. Hoglander Petey Borck Pearson BO Podkolzin DeBrusk Miller ?? I'd only do it if they took the same cap back though. Virtanen wouldn't work as we are better off just buying him out. Roussel would be the only logical option. Roussel doesn't fit on a new look 3rd scoring line so he's either gonna take a spot on the 4th line or be in the press box. I would do the following instead DeBrusk/Lind/Gadjovich/MacEwen - Petersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Hoglander DeBrusk/Lind/Gadjovich/MacEwen - Miller - Podkolzin The "2nd" line showed good chemistry last year. The "3rd" line is more to shelter the prospects and Miller would get heavy special teams minutes. There can be a battle for the spot beside Petey and Boes, but I'd like a little size for protection and have a bit of a crash and bang type on the line rather than going full skill. I think one of Lind/Gadjovich/MacEwen are likely taken in expansion. I think DeBrusk has the ability to keep up with the top line, but he would look solid on the "3rd" line with Miller in which then we could balance out the deployment of these lines as well. If MacEwen can click, he'd be the perfect enforcer on the line with enough skill to put up the numbers, but Gadjovich looks to have really upped his game last season. Lind seems like he can be an all round utility guy and plays a bit of a pest game. Late game situations where we need a goal, we can put Miller back with Petey and Boeser.

PuckYa Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 16 hours ago, Dazzle said: That draft year with Boston having three first round picks not panning out is something funny. Debrusk was their best pick out of their three too... To not take Barzal with one of those picks was a big head scratcher to me at the time & still today. If my memory serves me right they could've had Barzal, Connor & Boeser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Jake needs to go, and their Jake has been not very good for two years. Each needs a change. He wasn't very good this last year, but the year before he managed 35 points in 65 games, including 19 goals. Every season prior to this last one he managed to be better than a .5 PPG player. Worst case scenario is he falls flat on his face and we walk away from him after next season. Best case scenario is he regains his 27 goal form and we have another young top 6 forward that fits nicely into our group. I like the idea of the move because it's low risk/high reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the funny thing is, they were questionable off the board picks at the time too, not just picks that busted. I'm curious to see what happens with Cody Glass in Vegas too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dats hockey Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 18 hours ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: It's also worth noting that apparently the Bruins were playing him on RW for most of the year when Debrusk is a natural left winger, which may have been the reason for his less than stellar year and frustration with the coaching staff. Other than this year debrusk has been great. Love to add him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 37 minutes ago, Alflives said: What’s the difference? Sexual misconduct is a blanket term to describe unwanted sexual advances, but can even be used to describe an array of different things that could be concidered sexual. It can be anything from making creepy comments, unwanted sexual advances, but even things such a streaking or mooning in some cases. The biggest difference is sexual misconduct is not a crime in Canada. Some places in the US have it classified as a crime, but to my knowledge it is not a crime in Canada, it's a term to describe acts of this nature that are not criminal. Least that's my understanding. Sexual assult is the act of sexually touching another person without consent to do so, or physically forcing a person into a sexual act against their will. It's what Jake is being accused of currently, and it is a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading specifically the term misconduct somewhere but I didn’t really do my research on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
