00:00He's week to week, doesn't sound like he's going to be back for the Bruins when they
00:04hit the ice.
00:05He definitely won't be out there for Team USA in the final tomorrow against Canada.
00:09Keefe, you asked what I thought was a great question, does it make the Bruins more likely
00:13to sell?
00:14I would think so.
00:15I mean, they're on that line anyway.
00:16I mean, Cam Neely is the one that said this.
00:18This isn't people even theorizing that this was a couple of weeks ago.
00:21Retool was his word.
00:22Retool.
00:23Yeah.
00:24Yeah.
00:25Call it whatever you want.
00:26But if it means trade good players away to sort of help the future of the team, I feel
00:28like the present is not great.
00:30Even with McAvoy, you couldn't guarantee a playoff spot.
00:34No, I mean, they're all jumbled together.
00:35They've played more games than everybody else in the conference, and yet they still aren't
00:40one of the top eight teams just on points.
00:41So when you look at point percentage, I think they're more like 10th.
00:44So I was leaning towards sell anyway.
00:49And now if you don't have your best defenseman for a couple of weeks and however many games
00:52that is, trade deadline is what we said, the seventh or give or take.
00:57So there, I think they have seven games left from when they resume play after the four
01:01nations to the trade deadline.
01:04And I haven't loved hearing like Neely and Sweeney recently where it sounds like it's
01:08going to come down to these seven games.
01:09Like they don't know what the team is, but let's just say McAvoy can't play in any of
01:13those games.
01:14Like, what, what do you think?
01:17Shouldn't you get out in front of this and try to be the best possible team for 2026
01:23and beyond and move some of those guys.
01:26Maybe some guys that you can't get new contracts done with like Trent Frederick, obviously
01:30Brad Marshans, like the big, big, big name that potentially could get move.
01:34A bunch of Western conference teams would definitely have interest in him and try to
01:38set yourself up.
01:39I think it would be thrown away resources if you tried to add to the team.
01:44And then if you simply did nothing, I think that would be maybe the most frustrating thing
01:48of all, because you're saying that's like a Red Sox playbook from the last couple of
01:53What are you like for the few people that think they are a playoff seat, like the Ray
01:57Crofts of the world, I think they're going to win the cup that you got to go do then
02:00do something.
02:01Right.
02:02Like, that's not how I would do it, but at least pick a direction or like, are you retooling
02:07in a positive way?
02:08Like, are you retooling?
02:09And you're like, we're going to actually go out and find a center maybe, or are you retooling
02:13for the future?
02:14Which I think would be the better path.
