Chris Kelly Traded to Boston for 2nd Round Draft Pick

If all the UFA's walk - I'm done with this team..... (as long as Murray is in charge)

This doesn’t really make sense. Our UFAs are Kovalev, Ruutu, Shannon, Phillips, and Leclaire. The only one you MAY see next year is Phillips, but I have my doubts!

I have a feeling Murray is done.. the team is getting him to trade everyone and he'll be the face responsible for all this..

Kelly was one of the few I didn't want traded.. but I would assume they have a replacement for him... Winchester?

With Campoli and Gonchar going out of service last night, I think our hands are tied - Phillips has to stay and potentially walk at the end of the season....

the more i think about it the more i think this deal was the right decision.
i think after all is done, winchester is the guy they are keeping to take kelly's place. smith is also very capable. that does leave Regin as our number 2 center and you know what? that's fine by me. we'll have plenty of time from now till the end of the season to see if he's capable of handling that duty. if he is and does a good job then we might not have to look for a replacement there.

i seriously don't mind what's happening. it's giving a bunch of guys the chance to come up and shine. instead of prepping for the season all summer for the season to start it's puting our guys from bingo in there for the rest of the season and we get a good look at what we've got.
there may not be an amazing crop of FA this year but if we need to go shopping we'll have enough players to choose from if our young guys aren't cutting it.

i'm looking forward to more moves in the next couple of weeks from BM.
i'm sorry to see the guys go but what did we think? teams would be falling over themselves to grab guys our team don't want? Kuba? Lee? kovalev???
let's not kid ourselves. if we were sellers and are looking to actually rebuild, let's act like it.

Murray: "I'm not trying to trade everybody. This is not a housecleaning...we're retooling the budget, retooling the organization."

Coulda fooled me with this deal, in particular.

How is this not a housecleaning? Come on Bryan... Phillips, Neil, Kovalev, Ruutu will also be on the move soon as well, how does trading 3/4 of your roster not constitute as a housecleaning? Not that I mind, just saying....

6/20 is hardly 3/4. Just saying

Yeah because that's ALL that will happen before the start of next season.

Fisher, Kelly, Neil, Kovalev, Ruutu, Shannon, Phillips, Kuba, Campoli, Gonchar, Lee, Leclaire - Granted some names on there are iffy and it's still exaggerating to say 3/4 but that's 60% right there.

I wonder with all this trading for picks if there isn’t something in the works to pick up a good player or two by the deadline.

there's plenty of time to move the rest of them.

from the Boston NHL site Kelly quoted (about Boston):

"They’re a hard-working team that has a great goalie, and great forwards."

ZING

I wonder if the team isn't taking advantage of the All star game being here next year. Want all-star tickets, then you need to buy season tickets otherwise too bad.

THen they can ice a younger team that will lose like Edmonton but still sell tickets. I don't mind the younger team but they better make sure the guys playing are our future and not just fillers for a year or two.

I disagree. They can call up Weircioch and Hale. It's not like they're worried they'll lose games. Carkner was skating as a forward last practice so I'm sure he's close to a return as well.

Karlsson - Kuba
Weircioch - Carkner
Lee - Hale

That is one sad looking D but really who cares? Those two injuries mean nothing in terms of the likelyhood of Phillips being traded IMO.

i feel the opposite. there's not many people i'd rather have in there then BM for a 2-3 year rebuild. i don't think he'll be here in 2-3 years but maybe Tim will take over and the team surrounding him will be the same.

i love that Bm is showing everyone he can be aggressive, i'll be very pissed off if he's not in charge of drafting come the draft.

Hale is sick and they don't want to call Weircioch

Weircioch? is he even playing in Bingo right now?

What the F? I wake up and find out about this? What an odd trade?!!?! I don't get it. Kelly was a guy who you want around on this team. One of the best PKers in the league and is starting to find a scoring touch... and you trade him for a 2nd? What's next, trade Neil for a 2nd?

I was shocked as well. We got hosed on that trade.

Case closed then.

THEY DON'T CARE! The injuries won't change their plans.

Gryba? Smith? Whoever else they can call up? That work for you?
