I think we need a winger

ESPN predicts Kreider for Bjork, 1st, and conditional pick

I believe you nailed it Mantis... quite possibly the only statement here that everyone can agree upon. Who do you guess might be joining the B:s, or prefer to join and to what cost?

 

[Flannelman]

Walter, any chance you can summarize the confirmed rumors we have had from insiders in your post?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

ESPN predicts Kreider for Bjork, 1st, and conditional pick

Hope not.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Hope not.

Too rich for Sweeney, IMO. Kreider is a rental. A 1st in a deep draft + Bjork is too much to pay out of the teams future.

I think Sweeney is trying to free up space by moving contracts with cap hit first before bringing anyone in. That's what the hold-up may be. My guess is he wants to both add a forward or two AND resign Krug.

f*** that. they can have heinen or a prospect.

 

[Estlin]

@Coach Parker mentioned (in the previous thread) keeping an eye on Vancouver owing to the Boeser trade rumors. But I am wondering why he would even be available.

 

[KrejciMVP]

ESPN predicts Kreider for Bjork, 1st, and conditional pick

depends if you believe Bjork will develop into a great player. The late 1st is what the prices are at the deadline. I'd do it bc they need a RW

As awesome as Boeser would be, I also can't see why he'd be available. And even if he was, do we have anything worth dealing for him that makes sense?

that's an interesting rabbit hole to go down. However, like you i'd wonder why he's available and the cost would be pretty substantial i'd think. Unless Benning wants to do Sweeney a favor.

i think they'd trade him if you're giving up mcavoy, or someone on that level.

Might as well throw in McAvoy too. Seriously, this is ridiculous, the 1st rounder is possible, but Bjork, not a chance.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

If Kreider signs an extension I'd not be terribly opposed to it. I'd absolutely want to make it Heinen at this point of course.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I'd be... severely annoyed.

 

[Fenian24]

I can live with this if the pick is if Kreider resigns with Boston, also still have to move Heinen in another deal. Would probably have to move Moore to have the cap space to make this move.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

@Coach Parker

I have serious doubt they would trade him to Boston. If my memory serves me right their ownership already vetoed Edler to us few years ago.

 

[Mantis]

Why do people think Bjork is gonna magically turn into some star. I would be more worried about the condtional pick than Bjork.

We would need to add Toffoli or someone to replace him on the 3rd line though.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Kreider is a LW. I absolutely trade Bjork in a deal
involving Palmieri. Then use Heinen and a 1st for
Kreider. If the conditional is anything more than a 3rd
pick the answer is nope.

If you look on the Vancouver boards he is their whipping boy there. Apparently he has really regressed badly from his rookie season and is just not the same player anymore. Wont shoot the same, no confidence, etc. If it is not injury related he might benefit from a change of scenery. But the ask for him will be too high for most GMs. Similar to the Poolparty situation where the team wants too much for a project.

Why does Bjork need to become a "star" to make it a bad trade?

Is Kreider a star? Guy is a 50 point player. At this point we don't know what Bjork is, but relatively speaking he certainly seems to be the most promising young forward we have in the entire system (excluding Pasta of course). We are going to give that player up, along with a 1st rounder, for a 50 point rental? Hell no.

I would say Studnicka is a lot more promising than Bjork.

Reasonable for sure, but I’d hate to break up Coyle-Bjork. They seem to be developing some major chemistry. I’d counter with 1st, Vak , conditional pick if Kreider re-signs. Or 1st, Khulman, Zboril. And NY would obviously have to retain 50%. Just don’t want to trade Bjork right now, might be something beautiful happening here.

Khulman and Zboril do not have much trade value
