and I think its bullshit then that the rights to mason raymond and a healthy keith ballard is not enough for Seguin

Have to wonder about Morrow...twice traded before reaching the NHL? Pens had some worries and the Stars seem to have given up on him quite early.

Emery to Philly and Bryz to Edmonton is something I would love to see transpire...

I think Dallas got the better of the deal. Eriksson will definately help Boston, but Seguin has so much potential. He hasn't been playing his natural position & was still putting up good numbers. Boston should have asked for Alex Chiasson or Brett Ritchie in the deal. Heck Dallas didn't have to give up Oleksiak or Faksa either. The future looks bright in Big D. Jim Nill is getting it done.

Loui Eriksson is one of the most underrated players in the league, good wheels and a nice set of mittens. Chia needed to make a move as Bergeron and Krejci aren't going anywhere and he needs to lock up Rask as well. Take it from a guy who's seen plenty of Eriksson, he's a fine player.

The 21-year-old Bruins forward was coming off a down season where he managed 16 goals and 32 points during an inconsistent regular season, and then was dropped to the third line during the playoffs while producing just a single goal in 22 games. Above and beyond the lackluster performance on the ice during the Stanley Cup playoffs, there were concerns about Seguin’s activity off the ice.

According to sources around the team, Seguin was out late in Toronto during the road trip to play the Leafs in the first round of the playoffs and the team had to hold a sit-down with the immature forward about his commitment to the team. Seguin showed up each day at the Air Canada Centre wearing the same clothes for three straight days and played badly in Games 3 and 4 of the first round against Toronto.

That incident coupled with stories of Seguin’s late night partying during the regular season prompted Peter Chiarelli to say that “[Seguin] needs to become more of a professional” during a tirade at draft weekend. The Bruins attempted to deal Seguin to the Calgary Flames last weekend, but ultimately Flames ownership squashed any deals for the six-year, $5.75 million contract for Seguin while they go through a full rebuild with inexpensive, youthful players.

Also I hear Matt Fraser has scored more goals in the AHL the last 2 seasons than anybody else.
