>Since 2018, the Bruins have only drafted one player who played meaningful minutes for them in this year's playoff run. 

Dow Jones Semiconductor index x2. I've been keeping an eye on it for most of the year. Trying to time a good entry.

It was struggling a bit. Took my eyes off it for like 3 weeks and now its up - 99 dollars per share.

I bought 100 shares and threw the key away. Lesson learnt.

6M AAV

2025-2026 stats - 20 goal - 38 assist and 58 pts

Just pick one. A. Trade (if possible) B. Resign C. Finish out their contracts.

All of the players listed will either be a UFA, RFA or have only one year remaining on their contracts.

In no order

Forwards

• 1 Arvidsson

• 2. Mittelstadt
• 3. Zacha
• 4. Kulary
• 5. Eyssimont
• 6. Reichel
• 7. Poitras
• 8. Lysell

Defense

• 9. Peeke
• 10. Jokiharju
• 11. Harris
• 12. Lohrei
• 13. DiPietro

It must be annoying for the naysayers to see this ETF continuously mentioned.

Another nugget: if OpenAI, SpaceX (Grok), and Anthropic eventually IPO over the next few years, guess who indirectly benefits?

There will always be those too obsessed with technicals who point out how overbought it is. However, those who use AI on a daily basis know that it is nowhere near its peak yet. AI still makes mistakes and exhibits bias. GPUs are powerful, but memory bandwidth and capacity remain major bottlenecks.

Gasoline and electricity stocks were once the hottest things. But eventually, the market became saturated, and prices started to stabilize.

AI-driven demand for memory still appears to be in the early innings. The next wave of memory technology advancements is already on the horizon. Expect volatility (which is a good thing), but the long-term trend still looks upward, imo.

He has been in the doghouse under John Tortorella and Rich Tocchet (scratched in the playoffs) for not trying harder on defense.

Not trying harder or incapable. He is small and stocky. Strong on his skates but not a fast skater. Burst and top speed are both mediocre at best.

He still managed to score 63 pts and 51 pts in his first two seasons, and is considered a threat on the PP. He is still young and has room to improve.

IF the Bruins traded for him, they would need to pair him with a Zacha or Minten/Khusnutdinov to makeup for - shortcoming on defense.

If another team overpays - they can take the risk.

But if not many teams are interested and the Flyers want to move on. I wonder if they would bite on...

To Flyers: Poitras, Lohrei, Jokiharju, 2nd

To Bruins: Michkov, Jiricek

The old one E7051(non JBL) to upgrade E7057 (non JBL). Found one from a car yard for about 500 dollars. There is another car yard that is selling one.

The Good:

- Installation was not difficult.

- It functions quicker than the 2017-2019 oem.

- Wired Carplay to wireless Android Auto using Carlink

The Bad

- Small screen. Max size is less than half of 11.6 screen.

- No navigation direction beside the speedometer

Overall - it is nice to gain Google Maps and Spotify. "OK Google" voice command works well.

I'm worried the thing will melt at this rate.

Why does carlink make devices like this?

Any other versions that runs cooler, even after using it for 3 hours for example?

From the recent Bruins Rinkside episode.

Reason: They have fallen out of favor/benched in the playoffs. Same with Vatrano.

The Bruins and Ducks have a good trade history.

Trade idea

To Ducks: 2026 Bruins 1st, 2028 1st (most favorable pick), Mittelstadt, Locmelis, Jokiharju

To Bruins: McTavish, Zellweger, Vatrano

Then I would sign UFA - Darren Raddysh. I would overpay him like 10m aav on the condition - no NTC would be included in the contract. Worst case - RHD that can score points will be in trade demand.

Lineup

Khusnutdinov Zacha Pasta

McTavish Minten Hagens

Geekie Elias Vatrano

Jeannot Poitras Kastelic

Defensemen

Aspirot McAvoy

Lindholm Raddysh

Zadorov Zellweger

>Grier isn't shopping the pick, but he's invited the rest of the league to try and blow him away with an offer. Unless someone offers a young, elite top-pairing defenseman, expect him to stay at #2 and add another blue-chip prospect to the Shark Tank

The only trade asset they would care for...

• To Sharks: McAvoy (waive NTC)

• To Bruins: 2026 number 2 pick - Ivar Stenberg

Would you listen or hang up the phone?

It is getting harder and harder to find top 6 or D pairing UFAs/RFAs these days. Teams are reluctant to trade their young stars + cap rising - helps to keep them in the system longer.

We probably have to be realistic that a Robert Thomas trade is unlikely. As the Blues would want one of Hagens or Letourneau plus a bag of high picks.

The only impactful 'unaffordable' RFA - the Bruins could trade a 1st + Lohrei (example) is Dorofeyev. Which would help boost offense but doesn't solve the more pressing needs of a top line center and top pairing D.

This current situation is the byproduct of years of poor drafting. The Providence Bruins were one of the best AHL teams in the regular season. But at the moment, they are hanging on by a thread (could be eliminated tonight).

Poitras, Brunet and DiPietro are the only ones that have stood out. But at the next level they are all bottom level/backup players.

At this rate, unfortunately for Pasta and McAvoy. They will keep the seats warm for the next gen.
