The Boston Bruins sign power forward Max Jones in NHL free agency. In this video I look at Jones's NHL career so far. I also give my thoughts on the contract and Jones as a player.
Half of the people here have no clue about hockey. Sweeney is doing the same thing he did with Heinen and Geekie. Let a player in a bad system show everyone he is a good player. I would gladly take a big winger who averages 1 pt every 4 games on the 4th line. Jones brings his A game every night and will be eager to prove himself in Boston. It also brings in more competition for lines 3 & 4 and solid player/fill in if someone goes out injured. Great move GM!
Hello from Winnipeg.The home away from home for our Boston Bruins.Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦.It’s been awhile since you’ve had a post.Good to hear from you.GO BRUINS 🇨🇦🐈🏒🍺💀.
Bruins need to make top priority now to beginning Swayman and then maybe add a winger with whatever cap space is left!? They gotta get Swayman signed asap tho then they can go from there!? Hopefully they can sign Sway and bring in a speedy scoring winger!?
If Jones is playing any higher up than 4th line then I think you are doing it wrong. Geekie scored 30 points in limited ice time and had (up until this season ironically enough) proven he could win faceoffs as a center. Which is what got him in the door for us. Now for us he wasn't winning many faceoffs so found himself shifted to the wing (until the playoffs where Zacha vanished and lost his job to Geekie). As it stands right now your third line would Poitras centering which ever of Frederic or Geekie that you don't slot in DeBrusks former wing slot, and Brazeau. I'm not pulling Brazeau out of that slot for Jones. That's if he even earns the slot. Brown, Lettieri, Tufte for vets are also going to be looking for that slot and you have a couple of internals guys in Nelson and Kuntar who I imagine are going to want that last 4th line slot as well. And that's all assuming none of the better kids Lysell, Merk, Farinnacia push for the 2nd line winger slot and get it. Cause you certainly aren't giving Jones 3rd line time over Frederic or Geekie if they are both on the line.
This signing…. Like what the Celtics and the Red Sox have started doing…. Is a page from the Belichick play book. Seems to me the Pats did very well with low risk, low cost moves on a one year note to win championships. Where do you think the other New England teams learned it from?
Scoring wasn’t an issue last year nor will it be next year. Their problem was defensive turn overs and being out of position with Sway or Ullmark left on their own. Zadorov is a great addition but need a couple more defensive additions to fill out the lines. Maybe this kid is a gem in the rough and Zadorov will take him under his wing and get him to play up.
@@duanemartin1383 No, they couldn't score when needed. Goaltending is solid and defence is adequate. We don't need more defensive forwards.Scoring is the major problem.
@@johnbrowne2170…. If you’re up 2-0 or 3-1 and then the D gifts two goals off turnovers…. Scoring is not the problem. And I’d say the signing of Oesterle to go with Zadorov proves my far more accurate assessment.
@@ryanford9705 you are slow he is one of the better gms in the league get over it u sure u want to move on chances are we get someone worse your to biased to see that though he is a top 10 gm in the league right now
@@ryanford9705 only marchand and pasta are from a pre sweeney era are u that much of a fake fan wee have had a lot of success under sweeney your legitmately slow if u think his preformance has not been above average
Played for Dale Hunter. They develop players for pro. Pain in the ass to play against.
Good signing 🤘🤘💛🖤

This is a good signing for the bottom 6

Perfect fit for the Bruins
I think it's a good thing.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing, but we have an abundance of bottom 6 players. I don’t see the point personally but whatever

who??
Bruins need more scoring.

Their problem was defensive turn overs and being out of position with Sway or Ullmark left on their own.
Zadorov is a great addition but need a couple more defensive additions to fill out the lines.

@duanemartin1383 I argree with you
@johnbrowne2170 it's the turnover and our defense is out position that kill us against the Panthers series in the playoffs.
Sign Swayman then go get Skinner!!
Skinner gone
a forward that scored 15 points??? could score more than that sweeney!what a BS signing!why don't you sign b
bertuzzi!!!
I think I herd he signed with Blackhawks
Bertuzzi turned the Bruins down last year, why would he sign now? Plus he's gone.
you don’t understand hockey, something tells me. they are paying this guy 1m a year, if it works out and he’s decent it’s a great deal
Get rid of don sweeney. He's going to bury this team
Why?
Why would the bruins need another to get a goal scorer ?
Lol
your slow
@@kingaickoofloyaltyaboveall9896 yikes
