Seth Jones to complete the defensive squad!

2017-03-01

The Bruins organisation made a move to solidify their defensive squad by adding young stud Seth Jones and gave up, Dylan Larkin with a first rounder this year. Gm Prach has been clear about the fact he didnt want to affect too much his team right now but tweaking the team to solidify some position was is only goal. This trade may not seem big for now but for the Bruins, this is a huge trade not only now but for the future of this organisation.

"Seth is a young mature kid that play this game the right way. Very good vision, gigantic potential and lightning fast for a defencemen. I love this guy and I think he will fit perfectly in our system. I like the idea of a top 4 around Karlsson, Subban, Hedman and Jones for the future of this organization. Im very confortable with them and believe along with Martin, Bouwmeester and Petrovic, we may not have the best defensive squad, but definitely a good one right now. Again, very happy with Seth joigning our family and we wish good luck to Dylan."

Expansion draft

Adding Seth Jones clearly show that Gm Prach already made his choice in which option he will take regarding the Vegas expansion draft.

"For us, it will be the 8 guys and 1 keeper option. We got kids that wont need to be protected like Eichel, Domi, Sherback, McCarron. Our 9 guys are already aware that they will be protected. We know we may lost one guy from this team that could be a big asset for us but its the same rule for everyone."

Other trade to come?

"Maybe, we may try to solidify our top 6 or 9 this year. Defensively, we re good. We have some good discussions but with still 10 days left and the way the team is playing, there is no reason for something big."
