Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020 IX

[Sheppy]

well you’re looking for the next Backes or Beleskey right?

Yeah, Kreider is exactly that.

I don’t want this team to get even smaller. That’s all, they get pushed around enough as it is.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Miro the hero.

 

[Pay Carl]

I don’t want this team to get even smaller. That’s all, they get pushed around enough as it is.

No they really don’t but that’s ok

4 Bruins’ Additional Trade Targets — Forwards

Home
Trade Deadline
BY SCOTT ROCHE FEBRUARY 18TH, 2020

One possible trade target for the Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney can be crossed off their wishlist. Right wing Tyler Toffoli was traded from the Los Angeles Kings to the Vancouver Canucks Monday night. If there is a silver lining for the Bruins, it’s that the skilled forward is staying in the Western Conference and not making a move East to one of its conference rivals.

Chris Kreider of the New York Rangers is still a target of several teams, including the Bruins. Boston will have to expand their search for a top-six forward if they also lose out on Kreider. Below are four other forwards (mainly a second-line right wing) that Sweeney and the Bruins could look to acquire ahead of the Feb. 24 deadline.
1. Kyle Palmieri

Last year, Sweeney swung a deal with the New Jersey Devils for Marcus Johansson at the deadline. With the Devils out of contention again this season, Sweeney could grab another New Jersey forward to help a need at right wing. If the Bruins can’t get Kreider from the Rangers, this should be the first place Sweeney looks.

In his 11th season in the NHL, Palmieri has been a consistent player for the Devils, scoring over 20 goals in each of his five seaons in New Jersey. He has 22 goals this season in 54 games with 19 assists. Adding him as a top-six forward would only strengthen the Bruins’ offense with another goalscorer.

He has one year remaining on his current five-year, $23.25 million contract before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2021. He has an eight-team no-trade clause in his contract, so he does have a say if the Devils are able to find a deal for him.
2. Jean-Gabriel Pageau

Playing both right wing and center this season, the Ottawa Senators could cash in on Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s breakout by dealing the talented 27-year-old. He already has a career-high 22 goals in his eighth season for the Senators.

In rebuild mode after trading away franchise cornerstone players Erik Karlsson in 2018 to the San Jose Sharks and Mark Stone at the deadline in 2019 to the Vegas Golden Knights, Pageau could be next on the list. A free agent at season’s end, he carries a $3.1 million cap hit. Could he be the Charlie Coyle of this trade deadline for the Bruins with the flexibility to play center and wing and take his game to another level in the playoffs? It’s worth looking into.
3. Josh Anderson

It is not too often that a player who has been limited to just 26 games in a season is the subject of trade chatter, but that is what is facing the Columbus Blue Jackets right wing. A top-six forward when healthy, he could be an upgrade on the second-line right wing and make a difference down the stretch and in the playoffs.

Josh Anderson, Columbus Blue Jackets, Feb. 22, 2018 (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
He scored a career-high 27 goals last season and has averaged 21 goals over the last three seasons for the Blue Jackets. With just one goal this season because of injuries (currently out with a shoulder injury), the 25-year-old at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds could also add a physical presence on the second line with David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk.
Anderson’s got just a $1.85 million cap hit and will be a restricted free agent with team control. Expect the Bruins to do their due diligence about his injury if they make a call for him.
4. Wayne Simmonds

It appears that Devils interim general manager Tom Fitzgerald is taking calls on anyone on the roster and is open to dealing. He has already traded Andy Greene to the New York Islanders and Blake Coleman to the Tampa Bay Lightning. With that said, Simmonds would be an interesting piece that could be moved and fill a void in Boston.

Adam Lowry, Winnipeg Jets and Wayne Simmonds, New Jersey Devils (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers)
At 6-foot-2, he has been a physical presence no matter where he has played. He had four very good seasons for the Philadelphia Flyers. In back-to-back seasons in 2013-14 and 2014-15, he scored at least 20 goals each season. He followed that with two more seasons in 2015-16 and 2016-17 with at least 30-goal seasons.
This season he has seven goals and 16 assists, but four goals have come on the power play. He would be a good addition to the Bruins’ second power play unit. He is on a one-year, $5 million contract, which means he would be a rental for the rest of the season and the playoffs.
With Toffoli off the table, Kreider becomes the other big name available. If that doesn’t work out either, Sweeney has other options to fall back on and improve the top-six forwards. With six days left until the Feb. 24 dea

Not much new here but pass on Simmonds.

 

[Sheppy]

No they really don’t but that’s ok

Well, I mean they do. They’re not physical aside from Kuraly and Wagner up front. They need some size in their top 9.

 

[Alicat]

I raise Satan with this beauty

 

[neelynugs]

part of me wants them to acquire nathan gerbe just to see you explode

 

[Sheppy]

part of me wants them to acquire nathan gerbe just to see you explode

It’s probably more likely than them adding any muscle, that’s for sure.

 

[Blowfish]

Not much new here but pass on Simmonds.

Agreed on Simmonds...

Bruins dominate teams because they focus on possession. Pageau does a few things really well...put up points, kill penalties, power play specialist, face off specialist, and doesn't shy away from physical play. IMO he's a mini Bergeron.

Surprised he isn't mentioned more...he might come cheaper than some of the names already mentioned and would be extra center should Krejci/Bergy go down.

Thinking this would be a smart move by the bruins.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

It’s probably more likely than them adding any muscle, that’s for sure.

You could say this for any team though? There's really not much out there besides Kreider (top choice for me). Anderson is a massive question mark right now. Wood, is he still available? After that I don't see any mention of players with size/physicality who could fill a 3rd line role that are available.

 

[chizzler]

I think we've reached the point where cookies need to be involved.

Anyone know if Kreider prefers chocolate chip or Snickerdoodles?

The works. I’m hungry.

 

[Bruin4ever]

I see Wayne Simmonds, Joe Thornton and Chris Kreider in Boston. More size, experience both tenure and playoffs and scoring. The only thing is we all have wish lists of who we want to see and who we don’t but I always worry about throwing off the chemistry of the club. All I can say is you put the spoked B on and you better have heart.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

im still keen on adding size... not worried about fighting but I want to get big and heavy and strong

im changing my idea from a few days ago as im not 100% confident of bobby ryans recovery even though they say he might be playing soon.

so trade number 1

kyle palmeri
and wayne simmonds
for
david backes
danton heinen
boston first round pick
Jacob zboril
Zach senyshyn
conditional 2022 pick if palmeri resigns or if boston wins a cup next 2 years this is a first... if not its a second

{so im trying to balance some cap hit and some roster spots here... david backs will only cost a team 3million for a buyout next year so im not convinced it takes a first to move him. I sort of feel Heinen is enough payment for Simmonds. so im basically doing a first, second, and 2 fairly decent prospects for palmeri. (I know ive been against palmeri but I just looked at stats since Christmas and palmeri is actually heated up at nearly a point per game and scoring a lot of goals. I think he wants out of jersey and is making an effort to showcase himself} Simmonds meanwhile has 30 penalty mins in his last 20 games... 9 points... this isnt a guy thats completely cooked. I know he didnt fit with Nashville last year but he has a career of strong playoff performances. we can use him}

trade number 2
erik gudbranson {1/2 his cap retained making him a 2 mill cap hit}
michael del zotto
niklas deslauriers
for
john moore
kevan miller cap hit
and connor clifton

{gudbranson isnt great shakes but he can play behind McAvoy/carlo for 14-15 mins a game and will provide a lot of the much missed toughness/fight we want as fans. Deslauriers also isnt a savior but he will be an affordable 4th line/13th forward who will battle to get playing time and can be slotted into the lineup when the team is worried its getting pushed around. Anaheim gets a better player in Clifton but it would be nice to clear some room so we can absorb chara's bonus money and also nice to have the longterm cap hit of moore off the books so we pay a slight premium as far as talent goes}

new lineup with the 4 adds...

marchand/Bergeron/pastrnak {we shouldnt mess with this line so close to playoffs}
debrusk/krejci/palmeri {cross our fingers we get some chemistry here}
Bjork/coyle/Simmonds {maybe kuraly slides up here for Bjork... big strong grinding line}
deslauriers/Lindholm/kuraly/kuhlman/wagner {can find a combo here we like}

grezlyck/McAvoy {chara can move up in games that get rough}
krug/carlo {probably would be our number 1 pair most nights}
chara/gudbranson {now this is nasty}
michael del zotto {some injury depth}
lauzon {doesnt hurt to hold this kid back a bit at playoff time}

 

[Sheppy]

You could say this for any team though? There's really not much out there besides Kreider (top choice for me). Anderson is a massive question mark right now. Wood, is he still available. After that I don't see any mention of players with size/physicality who could fill a 3rd line role that are available.

It’s an absolute need for this team. Kreider checks the boxes, and will be a force come post season time.

Josh Anderson
Miles Wood
Marcus Foligno (4th line)
Jordan Greenway is another guy I’d kick tires on...
Nicholas Deslauriers (4th line)

Not huge upgrades, but upgrades over some of the guys we have.

 

[DiggityDog]

He loves spinach and cheddar cookies.View attachment 323375

At that point aren’t they just biscuits

 

[Spooner st]

Biscuits are a different animal in itself.

 

[Bruinaura]

The works. I’m hungry.

[Jean_Jacket41]

Too bad Miller is injured for years. Could have been traded for some great picks with this market.

 

[NeelyDan]

I bet Alberta Oreilly Fan and the don godfather could combine their post styles and defeat ISIS

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Too bad Miller is injured for years. Could have been traded for some great picks with this market.

if Miller was healthy then I'd want him in the lineup mauling fools.

 

[BB88]

The main priority has to be adding talent, it has to be #1.

2nd Sinnonds is way past his prime.

 

[LouJersey]

Bruins beat the Blues with Killer IMO...

And tbaybruin and killermillertime

 

[Jean_Jacket41]
