ScottM Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 First, Hamilton bolts, then there was the rocky draft performance, then the three first rounders failing physicals, and now the B's can tell Seidenberg goodbye for a while. The blueliner needs surgery to repair a disc herniation, and is expected to miss eight weeks. http://bruins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=780194 We all know Chara is getting to be over the hill and that it shows sometimes. This puts the weight of the defense even more heavily on his shoulders. Right now, everything that can possibly work against the Bruins seems to be doing so. This really looks like a team doomed to wander in the wilderness for a while. Can their situation be any worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks Scott for the good article. They still have Rask, Chara and Bergeron but the Bruins are a rapidly aging MESS. Now they won't have Seidenberg. Rask will have to stand on his head for them to even come close to sniffing the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not a playoff team, no way no how, on the way down fast. Seidenberg and Hamilton both gone, losing Boychuk the year before, Ference the previous season, no team in the league could lose that much on defense, add in the rapidly aging Bergeron and Krejci and the Bruins are now a bottom ten team within the league possibly even a lottery team.

teenagemutantninjahertl Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 @ScottM Hamilton didn't exactly "bolt." @Samifan Which defenseman would you trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I offer them the Schenn brothers as a package for a prospect and picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 @ScottM Hamilton didn't exactly "bolt." Technically true, but he wanted out. He was gone either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
