Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020 VII

[Flannelman]

I could be way off base here, But I don't think anything happens until later in the week for the Bruins. But watching the meltdown on Twitter because other teams have made a deal and Sweeney hasn't is quite enjoyable to say the least.

As of maybe 5 minutes ago, this is what I was told by an "acquaintance" in NJ: Devils will not trade Palmieri without giving the Bruins a final chance. Bruins have to much to get in order to "just make the trade".

Is the stuff they need to get in order salary cap issues?

Al, I’m reading that more like NJD has a hardon for Boston’s cupboards

I'd overpay for Palmieri simply because he makes you nearly a cup favorite for two seasons. That's about what our window is right now with this core.

That's why i want him. Instantly slots in as 2nd line RW next season too.

 

[BlackFrancis]

I've never seen that condition before..

That condition affects this year's salary cap calculation, so how can it be conditional on something that happens in the postseason?

Makes absolutely no sense.

I think that tweet is just worded wrong. Pretty sure thats the condition on one of the picks.

Sweeney is holding Ryan Fitzgerald hostage and will only release him if Tom Fitzgerald gives him Palmieri, straight up.

They cut Montreal a check based on the difference?

This, unless Kreider comes with a sign and trade. Not interested in a high priced rental when you could spend roughly the same on Palmieri or even a bit more and get another year out of him.

One day when I become rich I am going to fly a couple 100 of us to an island the week of the trade deadline and we are all going to sit around refreshing trades

Good thing it isn't 2005 or else we would have to wait another day or two for the board to come back to life. Then what would we do? Sit around and talk to each other?

Tom Fitzgerald was just on NHL on XM. Won't answer any questions on Palmieri out of respect for him as a player but he said he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't listen to calls on all of his players.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I'm good parting with any prospect outside of Stud for Kreider tbh

Pfft. Chickenshit.

Yes.

It appears Moore is the guy they'll move for relief. I'll let "him" tell the story if he sees this.

I know everyone blames the Backes contract and there is some truth to that. But it's the Miller LTIR that is the hold up.

New Jersey at St. Louis tonight...

 

[PB37]

Wow.... what a seller's market right now. Unreal price paid for Dillon, who I wanted to see the Bruins pick up.

 

[Alicat]

Pfft. Chicken****.

He's still only the Interim GM. Smart answer on his part

So many teams retaining 50% of the contract as well

How so if Miller stays on the LTIR? I can't see him making it back. He isn't even practicing with the team, right? If/when he is cleared for that, and for contact, he would likely need a conditioning stint in Providence. I don't see him back this regular season, and probably not at all.

As always, thanks for your posts and information.

I hope things are well in Ontario.

I know, but doesn't he know we are all sitting here waiting to hear what is going to happen? I'd like him to show some respect to HFBruins!

I mean the least he could do is throw his hometown team a little nugget of info.

 

[The don godfather]

All the eastern teams beefing up. Over to you Donny.

Next thread might as well be “live”

That's all I'm saying here

Because, as has been said a hundred times by other people here, namely @BrainOfJ , when using LTIR, contracts are not prorated. Palmieri's full $4,650,000 or Kreider's full $4,625,000 has to fit. And the Bruins currently have $3.1 million in space. That's because of Miller on LTIR.
