Snow4Habs Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 So here's a team desperate to make it through the playoffs, they're now in trouble in their cap. I know they've signed "big" players but we still managed to beat them in the playoffs and someone Gionta knocked down Chara in 1 game last season. They drafted Seguin when they were already deep in center positions all the way to 3rd line. They're going down to the road to the last of the standings. Seguin will no doubt help them but I'm just sad to see the Canadian transition to a wing position. A franchise player like him shouldn't be transition to play other position than what he was drafted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A franchise player like him shouldn't be transition to play other position than what he was drafted for. I dunno, really. There's nothing saying that Seguin has to come up and be their franchise player right away while playing on a top line. There's actually no reason to be sure that Seguin will even start in the NHL this year. Often these top three picks end up playing in the bigs during their first year, but I think that has as much to do with the terrible nature of the teams which draft them as it does anything else. Seguin will get his shot at camp like anyone else, and he'll end up slotting in the Bruins depth chart wherever his play indicates that he should. If he's playing better than, say, Krecji (spelling?) there's nothing saying that Krecji can't be moved to the wing. Edit: I guess what I'm saying is that I think that they're a long way from going down the road to last in the standings. The only way Seguin won't be playing centre this year is if there are other players who perform better. And if that's the case... well, I don't think Boston is complaining about having a roster so deep that it's tough for the #2 overall pick to crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathradio Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 A few months in the Bruins' farm team would be good for Seguin. Then he can make the team afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandd Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I agree with you guys that Seguin won't see much time in the NHL this season if at all. If it's true that he's going to sign a similar type contract to Hall, with a contract slide, considering Boston's cap issues there's more reason than simply his development to keep him down in Providence.

Mathradio Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Are they hated by hockey fans other than fans of Original Six teams? Montreal and NY Rangers are among the teams whose fan bases hate the Bruins most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA_Champion Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Why can't he? Players drafted from canadian junior can't be in the AHL until they turn 20. Boston would be ridiculous to have Seguin waste a season in the ontario hockey league again. Maybe they can give him $250,000 and tell him to spend a year in the KHL or something.

HC Lev Poprad could sign him for about $300k-350k (the same as if he was HC Lev's first-round draft pick) if he wanted to be signed to a KHL team until Boston could clear some space.

The likelihood of Seguin doing that is about the same as the Habs putting #4 jersey in the Bell Center rafters with the name Orr on it.Not a snowballs chance in Hades!

Mathradio Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 The point remains that Boston must clear cap space so Seguin can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Seguin just might have a spot with the Bruins . According to TSN, Whitfield a centre (who's played most of his career in the AHL) will be lost for the season due to a torn achilles. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
