But he's had a mediocre start in Providence this season and I wonder why he hasn't made it to the NHL full time.

Would love to get the scoop on him from a Boston follower.

What's a new agent got to do with it? Mad at being traded?

I guess for the sake of fielding an NHL ready team Lohrei is included as a body replacement for Anderssen. Minten doesn't get the blood flowing for me, so no biggie not having him included as a centrepiece. But the mid-1st sounds intriguing. Hopefully it's a little more than that.

Fraser Minten commented in that post ‘I know a place’

Maybe the new agent has compromising photos of Conroy.

Yeah, scouring around it appears this is done. 1st, Lohrei + a prospect.

If this is actually happening with Boston, makes asense that Boston beat writer is getting information to post on Twitter that Boston is out of the race.

Probably reading too much into it, but Calgary feeding that info to him could pump up the urgency for the Bruins management to make a better offer.

Getting a pick that is hopefully 10-20 instead of say Dallas where it's 26-32 is such big value that can't be understated IMO

They could legitimately be asleep right now.

2 AM eastern time on a Saturday morning isn't exactly working hours for most.

He was also over PPG in the AHL last season, who knows if true but I think he is being undersold

Minten has the same points in more games

If Hanley and Pachal are not sent out before the break, this season will be an unmitigated disaster, and a wasted opportunity I will never forgive Edwards for.

Poitras would have been deemed untouchable 18 months ago.

I have no issues with the Flames taking a flyer on a guy Boston Fans and media were comparing to Patrice Bergeron when he was a rookie

Flames don't have a spot for him in the top 9 right now though...but there is a remedy for that too...

Poitras has the better NHL stats actually (at a younger age) and better AHL stats
