These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports.

I can't disagree with that.

Jackpot!

Pelger and Mazz on 985, the Sports Hub.

Okay, some follow-up Bruins thoughts for you or is a heading to the off season.

We'll use the Boston Herald as a jumping off point.

Our good buddy, Steve Conroy, in the Herald, has a Bruins offseason to-do list. Let's discuss, Mass. Number one, he says, sign Bruce Cassidy to a multi-year deal. How do you feel about that? Yes, fine. Can we define multi-year, though? Two in an option. Two. Two. I said to see yesterday. Three is too much for this guy two in a team option yeah two in a team

option oh no no not his option two yeah two in an option and so you're basically given him one year

to prove himself and look on a personal level for bruce cassidy I think he seems like a fine coach

and he deserves a crack at the at the NHL level and I hope he gets it he had one crack 10 years ago with the capitals. It didn't work out. He paid his dues, went back to the H.L. Had success there. Had success here in the month and a half he was on the job. He deserves another crack. I hope he gets it. But it doesn't have to be here. If the Bruins have someone better in mind, this is a dog-eat-dog world and they show Cassidy to the door.

I wouldn't shed a tear.

I only wanted them to move on from Claude Julian.

I obviously was pretty adamant about that, that they needed to change there in that office.

They got it.

And now it's up to them.

If they have someone better than Cassidy, fine.

But if it is Cassidy, I'm fine with that, too. He showed enough that he's worth investing in. But let's not go crazy. Two years. And if he proves it again this year, then you can revisit and give him a real contract after this year. But let's not go nuts. He still has a lot to prove. Okay. You know they're going to screw this up and give him three, right? And I say screw it up. If the money's relatively short and you can still fire him and, you know, in other words, if the money doesn't preclude you from firing him, then fine. Don't overinvest. Correct. Don't overinvest. The guy still has something to prove. And he should know that. You should know that. Please. You don't have to pay him what you pay Julian, You don't have to commit to him like you would commit to an established NHL coach. There's still a little bit of a trial situation here. Second, they say find a third line center. Well, that's true. I'm curious about the second line center in David Creachie. I'd consider moving on from David Crachie. I would move on from David Cretchen.

I'd try and find a trade out there for David Cretche. The problem is the free agency list is crap,

unless you want to bring back Joe Thornton at 37 years old or whatever coming off an ACL injury.

The free agent list is crap for the most part. So if you're trading David Creti, you got to find a center coming back. But, you know, what they're driving at here is that obviously Ryan Spooner's gone. Or you need to upgrade Ryan Spooner. So I'm all fine with that. I would consider getting a new second line center, but I don't think that's realistic. I don't think they're going to be able to move Krati either. You're talking big money, no production and injuries now. You got it.

And the wrong side of 30. Big contract, wrong side of 30, injuries piling up to trade David Krati. You're going to have to swallow money probably. You're not going to get a good return. As much as I think they should trade David Krati, I think they're stuck with them. I think you'd be selling low and you'd lose the trade.

So, I think you're stuck with him. I think you'd be selling low and you'd lose the trade.
