Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020 II

[Tazz]

They’re about to lose two left shot defensemen to free agency so I think a LH D prospect will be high on their wish list.[/QUOT

We are potentially in the same boat, KRUG and CHARA.

 

[Absurdity]

BOS: Mike Hoffman
FLA: Brendan Dillon
SJ: Backes + 1st

BOS: Palmeiri
NJD: Heinen + Vaakanainen + Fitzgerald + 2nd

I think the whole $6 is freed up, but they seem to be operating like that’s not going to happen.

Imagine not being able to re-sign Krug because of the Backes debacle. Ugh that would suck.

 

[TCB]

Yeah, but Palmieri is considered a MUCH better player than Coyle was a year ago. He’s scored 30 goals, he wears a letter... You could make the argument he’s one of the 30 best RW’s in the game.

I wouldn't say much better. The rap on Coyle was his inconsistency, but the talent was there, and many thought he was much better as a center and should be there. Which he has shown in Boston.

NJD: Heinen + Vaakanainen + Fitzgerald + 2nd

Not picking on this offer specifically, because others have suggested it as well, but I think it would be tough for Fitzgerald to trade for his son as part of a package that sends a good veteran player away.

My guess is Vaakanainen in it and his kid plus I’m sure he wants a 1

 

[DKH]

Toffoli is meh

Palmeiri is a stud

Yea the optics on that wouldn't be great

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Toffoli is meh

Toffoli would be the ideal 3rd line RW on a cup winner.

But I agree Palmieri fits 2nd line RW needs a lot better

 

[NYSPORTS]

Getting kreider is a major step towards winning the cup. He's a force with the puck. So hard to contain and such a power skating forward north south. Great shot and can play in all situations. Hope Donny can get him and won't mind we lose our 1st round pick only if resigns though.

Agree with all besides the great shot. As a Rangers fan, Panarin has a great shot while Kreider is ok. Kreider gets those rebound goals, disrupts infront of the net and uses his speed and size well. If he had a better we shot the Rangers would keep him and he would likely net 45.

7x7 though, that's a very long time IMO.

Vaak +1st is steep for Palmierei
But you gotta give to get!
2 playoffs out of Palmierei and if we feel Zboril can translate to the NHL, along with Lauzon, losing Vaak is tolerable.

 

[Gordoff]

They want Palmeiri

the question is what goes back ?

Gryz and Heinen and no picks...

 

[DKH]

I want Palmeiri

But yah for rest of season Toffoli ok

the thing Is Palmeiri can block suitors and make it easier for Boston to acquire

 

[YouTakeTheVan]

I think they're stuck with Backes, but maybe they can retain $2-3 million and not have to pay as much to trade him.

Backes 50% retained + buyout = $2M cap hit next year - yes?

And only $500K x 2 years of real cash for the acquiring team?

 

[member 96824]

Yeah, I realize a big part of Backes coming here was that extra year...but man, what a miss to not line up those two contract expirations.

I kind of assume Krug and agent had a hand in that though, what more perfect time to be a UFA than 29 years old?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

to be honest. I would rather simmonds than taffoli

 

[TCB]

Gryz and Heinen and no picks...

This makes the most sense I've seen. Its actually pretty fair and it fills both teams needs.Maybe the bruins should get a 3rd back though,at least a 4th.

Its kind of similar to what the Rangers got for McDonaugh when he had another year left and McDonaugh had/has more value than Palmeiri.
( A first and Namestnikov with two mid-level prospects.)

Even Mark stone didn't return a first, in last years draft and that draft isn't nearly as talent-laden as this years.


If Im dealing with Jersey though I would want Vatenen in the deal, I'd throw in the bruins 2nd to get it done.

Grizz,Heinen and a 2nd
for
Palmeiri & Vatenen

I would rather have Backes than Simmonds.

hopefully some good news from Backes camp this weekend.

 

[The don godfather]

Watch vak become a brodin type. Watch stud become a mini Bergeron. Watch senyshyn become a eric cole. These 3 plus Bjork beecher lauko are untouchables in my books.

 

[goalieman40]

Getzlaf with 2mil or more retained for Backes, 1st or 2nd, and a prospect. Salaries can wash. Too crazy?

Stud we keep but to win the cup while bergeron Marchand Krejci rask and charA are kicking around ? You pull the trigger.

studnicka is legitimately my only untouchable.

 

[BAD BOY]

IDK, do you really let Krug walk for next year so you can allocate his cap space to Jason Zucker? Seems like a bad trade-off to me.

If the road they go down is bring in a winger with term knowing Krug is gonzo this off-season, it had better be for a pretty significant player, not a Jason Zucker-type, a non-core level guy.

I wouldn’t, I agree. I don’t know if any of them besides Kreider is worth letting Krug walk imo

 

[BAD BOY]

Is something going down. .. names are being tossed around everywhere on here.
