The B's are so confusing. They make so many bad moves but that core is so talented I guess it doesn't matter.
They're so good at rearing young players, which makes the Moore signing weird because I feel like Vaakanainen and Zboril are close, and maybe even Lauzon. Not to mention Grzelcyk earning a nice bridge deal. And they need to pay McAvoy and Carlo on the right side next season.
Sweeney's explanation in the Providence Journal:
Quote:
Sweeney’s explanation for that deal was loaded with logic: He cited the number of injuries sustained by Bruins’ blue-liners before and during the last two post-seasons, and added that a veteran like Moore (447 NHL games with the Blue Jackets, Rangers and most recently Devils) lets young defensemen like Jakub Zboril, Jeremy Lauzon and incoming rookie candidate Urho Vaakanainen continue to develop at their own pace, without being rushed. Moore also kills penalties -- something not currently on the resumes of current blue-liners McAvoy, Torey Krug or Matt Grzelcyk.
