Bruins Have Bright Future, Tough Competition Ahead

  1. NESN.com NHL writer @douglasflynn here. I'll be taking NHL and Bruins questions for the next half hour, so fire away. #NESNLive
  2. @NESN @DouglasFlynn, if Dougie makes the cut, who do you see him pairing up with? I say Chara (who better to learn from?). Good OFF/DEF mix.
  3. Hamilton may see some time w/Chara, but playing full-time w/him may be asking too much of rookie. Think Ference may be better fit. #NESNLive
  4. @NESN @douglasflynn Do you see the Bruins making a move for Semin sometime this off-season?
  5. Not sure Semin's style would really mesh w/Bruins system, plus he's looking for more money/term than B's likely comfortable with. #NESNLive
  6. @NESN @douglasflynn What role do you see Aaron Johnson playing? Will he be down in Providence?
  7. Johnson's on a two-way deal so could end up in Providence, but I think he may be best option B's have now for 7th d-man in Boston. #NESNLive
  8. @NESN @douglasflynn Are you expecting there to be a lockout? Will NHL lose another entire season?
  9. Wasn't until ridiculous first proposal by owners, now think lockout is realistic possibility, but doubt it'd be for full season. #NESNLive
  10. @NESN Does the signing of Aaron Johnson signal an unlikeliness for Dougie H. to crack the roster or is he just a depth player at the dunk?
  11. Shouldn't impact Hamilton. If he makes team (and he should), he'll be in top 6. Johnson will be in mix for 7th spot or Providence. #NESNLive
  12. @NESN what is the time table until we see Subban in Providence?
  13. Other than a cameo at end of season once junior campaign is done, Subban is two years away from being eligible to play in AHL. #NESNLive
  14. @NESN @douglasflynn Weber got an offer sheet from the Flyers-- is an "offer sheet" as insubstantial as it sounds ( a little confused)?
  15. Signing offer sheet is a binding contract, just a matter of whether he plays for PHI or NAS, which can match offer and keep him. #NESNLive
  16. @NESN @douglasflynn do you think the preds will match philly's offer sheet?
  17. Hockey-wise they should, but Predators' financial situation may prevent it with how Philly front-loaded the deal. #NESNLive
  18. @NESN @douglasflynn What are the chances Thomas gets traded to a team looking to get to the cap floor e.g. Colorado - where he now lives
  19. Don't think we'll see anything like that until new CBA is sorted out and teams find out what, if any, floor remains in new deal. #NESNLive
  20. That was a fun one. Not Bos-Mon, but a great rivalry nonetheless. Still fondly recall Nilan racking up those record PIMs vs Whale. #NESNLive
  21. Don't think we'll see much else in offseason,Any more moves more likely to come w/in-season trades if team struggles/injuries hit. #NESNLive
  22. @nesn What are the bruins thinking pulling out of the Bobby Ryan sweepstakes? we lost in the first round
  23. They lost in OT in Game 7, one year after winning the Cup. No reason to panic and make bad deal if asking price was too high. #NESNLive
