Bruins Add Elias Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov | The Skate Pod, Ep. 329

[@Bruin88]

Thank you Bridgette for framing the Zadorov acquisition as Zadorov in, Grzelcyk out. That should clear up and remove a lot of angst about the signing for most Bruins fans. Thank you Scott for mentioning Sweeney's line that no team is complete in July! There will be many more moves to follow. Some bad, but hopefully most will be good. Thank you Brian for grading the day as a "B". I think Sweeney is doing the right thing by leaving the 2RW slot open for anyone to grab. A team needs competition in order to continuously improve, but also needs to have openings from time to time for higher positions available for those who improve and exceed "expectations". Poitras is a great example of this, and hopefully Lysell and/or Merkulov take advantage of it.

[@neilturner2980]

I’m not upset getting Zadorov, definitely need the size on the back end. It seems like they’re banking on Lysell putting it together and/or Frederic putting up 25 goals

my thoughts

[@PatsCoachBob]

Brian, what about Brazeau at 2nd line RW? Scoring wasted on 4th line.

[@briandefelice4205]

Love Brazeau. There’s definitely a job there to be won, him included. You never know!

[@trentminor5210]

well before listening here is my take, 2 big signings for the bruins, i am not sure about lindholm his stats were at best when playing with Tkachuk, Johnny Hockey, but was the biggest center name on the market so time will tell, Love zadorov Don Sweeney said we needed more scoring, what we all know this we lost our 5th and 7th top scorers from last year.. and didn't bring in any 2nd hand scoring, so is he hoping Frederic can get to 30 goals, Brazeau to 30? Geekie, lysell i still think we need one more piece to complete it.. skinner for 3 millions would of been awesome

Victor Olafsson needs a fresh start 3 years 2,5 ?

[@trentminor5210]

haha not even 5 minutes in and brian mentioned no 2nd hand scoring, i agree

[@Rizzoo747]

Ha! He did give a better grade than Scott tho. Think they did better than c+ Scott 😂

Can the Bs just buyout Korpisalo?

[@kahleigh]

Why would they want to though? They wanted a veteran back-up

[@trentminor5210]

@@kahleigh 3 million vs 775k for Bussi, could get a 3rd liner for 2-3 million,i think you give korpisalo a chance and see how it goes, but a good opition to have if he's not performing

[@kahleigh]

@@trentminor5210 how does Bussi develop sitting on the bench though? I'd rather him be a number one in prov getting reps and developing. Even if bussi and sway were 50/50, you'd still need a number 3

[@trentminor5210]

@@kahleigh just my opinion he has played #1 goalie in Prov last 2 years, he could be ready for 25 games in the nhl, DiPietro kid has also played very well, gotta start out with korpisalo and see what he can do on a new team, if he's not performing it's not worth having a back up for 3 mill when you got 2 good goalies in prov making 775k

Stop complaining!!
