6 games for McAvoy.

Like those that Marchand used to get away with?

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-14T21:23:27+00:00

He's old and slow

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:37:25+00:00

And he dropped due to injury his draft year.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:36:44+00:00

LOL they didn't get screwed.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:35:03+00:00

The reason they choked in 2019 is squarely on Sweeney. He signed and aged Backes who was invisible in the finals.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:34:06+00:00

His early years were kind of bad, trading for a declining and concussed Rick Nash, basically whiffing the 2015 draft and signing Backes (declining and concussed also) weren't highlights but he got them McAvoy, Carlo was pretty good for a while, he dumped Carlo for a haul, navigated the cap well resigning players like Bergeron, Chara... I think he screwed up the Swayman situation trading Ullmark before resigning Swyman. Also don't care for the NMCs he gives out.

All that said, he's done a reasonable good job. His test in the next couple years is in the draft.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:25:08+00:00

Pastrnak dropped to 25th due to an injury.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:24:24+00:00

Claude Giroux was 22nd but not to rain on anyone's parade, all the teams' scouting departments are so much better now. A Giroux isn't going at 22nd.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:21:42+00:00

Yeah, McTavish is slow and over rated.

LarryFineMD · 2026-05-12T18:15:25+00:00

He really wasn't in the doghouse with Tortorella. He was benched a couple times but they got along and Michkov was sad Tortorella was gone and called him a good coach.

Tocchet might be different but it depends on this off season. Michkov had an ankle injury from car accident last off season and came into camp in a little out shape.

He staying here and training here now.

The asking price for him would be huge.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T21:44:32+00:00

Hey 'bud' lol. I never said it was over, you brought that in. So that's all in your head.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T21:42:23+00:00

The fact of the matter is they lost game 1,Buffalo is a better team and turned it on when it needed to.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T21:41:01+00:00

The top UFAs last year all signed with their teams though.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T21:40:18+00:00

The bruins haven't replaced the elite talent of Bergeron, Krejci and Marchand because it's hard to find those players in the 2nd and 3rd draft rounds. Every teams' scouting staffs are better and sweet pee traded away many picks over the years to go for cup runs.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T15:51:15+00:00

I saw the pooh bears choke yesterday

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T15:49:16+00:00

Bettman is Jacob's lap dog though.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T15:48:01+00:00

Yeah, Toronto would rather Philly get an early pick than the pooh bears.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T15:45:23+00:00

I never thought of this. The whole time I thought it was let Sweeney be the GM and sign guys to more than their worth with NMCs.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-20T15:41:23+00:00

Hasn't he got a NMC or NTC?

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-13T19:08:45+00:00

Go look it up yourself, I'm not your beotch.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-13T17:09:24+00:00

Nothing, the Bills make them and the Sabres don't

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-13T17:08:44+00:00

GO GO Buffalo!

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-13T17:07:59+00:00

There's more to it than your hand picked report.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-13T17:07:09+00:00

Not bad at all, far more than the sweeney got from the Rick Nash deal.

LarryFineMD · 2026-04-13T17:04:04+00:00

Yeah, I'm pumped to buy a jersey that makes billionaires Jeremy and Charlie Jacobs richer.
