Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020 VIII

[Dr Hook]

Why do you have a top 6 LW on the 3rd line? FormerBruinsFan trying to reinvent the wheel. Move Kreider to RW. Move DeBrusk back to where he belongs.

I don't know, at that point you are not talking 2nd line/3rd line, but two lines that can play equal minutes and score goals. It's a bit like what the PBruins do, not about line numbers as a status/value indicator, just lines that work well together.

I don’t need see any team that is a definite favorite to win the Cup. But if the Bruins land Kreider and maybe an upgrade at RW I cant see a team beating them.

We should stop this "unbeatable" talk. As recently as last year we have seen a HUGE favorite in Tampa to not only lose in the playoffs, but get swept by a team that got beat in the next round.

I don't mind Sweeney trying to add to the current squad, but I don't see any different maker being available this year. Last years deadline featured Mark Stone (and even Vegas lost in round 1), but the likes of Kreider and Palmieri are nowhere near that level.

I wouldn't really be sad if he didn't get any of the top guys and settled for consolation prizes. We thought the same way of Coyle and MoJo last year and both turned out to be magnificent additions.

Not just that, but there was literally no new information. The only thing that's happened today is the Alec Martinez trade that was announced last night was finalized. There have been zero other updates.

 

[Tbaybruin]

If they trade for Kreider better be long term

I’m GM I am looking at a Kreider - Coyle eventual second line

great kid not a lot of miles

No complaints from me unless ends a rental

How long and how much would you pay

I don't want an NHL team doing that.

Why not?

Told the wife and kids yesterday that I’m going to be on my iPad all the time. They know it’s trade dead line week. I will make it up to them next Tuesday.

Not sure why you need to take a shot at me. But I think Debrusk with Coyle would be fantastic. I prefer Coyle over Krejci to be honest and think they would roll 3 lines. Hope that’s ok with you for me to have an opinion. Lots of people here have suggested Kreider with Krejci and Debrusk with Coyle but guess you felt like attacking someone. Anyways, Kreider has never played his off wing, Debrusk has, so if anything, move Debrusk to RW. But from the sounds of it, you know so much so you already knew that.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Why not?

I think it softens the challenge on the opponent. Why limit the minutes of what could be top lines?

 

[Prince Pasta]

I wonder what we could get for John Moore with all the 2nd rounders thrown around for lower pairing D

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Okay, I'm bored and I'll try based on rumours and prices:

To Boston:

LW Kreider

To New York:

2020 1st
RW Heinen
LHD Zboril

To Boston:

RW Kovalchuk

To Montreal:

2020 Conditional 3rd (becomes 2021 2nd if Boston advances to SCF)

To Boston:

C Thornton

To San Jose:

RW Backes
2020 2nd
C Beecher

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak (Perfection Line)
Kreider - Krejci - Kovalchuk (Special K Line)
DeBrusk - Coyle - Bjork (CBD/Chill Line)
Kuraly - Thornton - Wagner

Cap works. Prices work. Prospects and picks out with Heinen.

I hate this because of the cost to move Backes (oof)
I like this because it puts Habs fans in the uncomfortable position of having to root for us to make the Finals

Bingo. Glad you explained that to him nicely.

I guess I see it more as you give the opponent matching nightmares, and you have two lines below your top line that depending on the game and situation can be used more or less. You are probably right in how it would go, but being able to roll two second lines would be cool.

 

[bbfan419]

Alright here's my go for broke proposal, feel free to rip it apart.

To BOS: Kyle Palmieri
To NJD: 2021 1st, Vaak, Fitzgerald, Khulman

To BOS: Rickard Rakell
To ANH: 2020 1st, 2021 2nd, Heinen, Senyshyn, Backes, Andersson

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Palmieri
Bjork - Coyle - Rakell

2020 and 2021 Stanley Cup Champs!!

Love it, well done

I have confidence in Coyle to continue dominating those lesser opponents but I see his line and the 4th line more about wearing the opposition down in the playoffs while the Bergeron AND Krejci lines carry the scoring.


I worry too much balance will hold back the potential of this team. That isn't to say a 3rd line of Bjork, Coyle, power forward rental cannot be better than the opponent's 2nd line.

I want Krejci and Bergeron on the ice more is all... assuming Kreider or Palmieri do come to Boston.

[Sheppy]

Would you guys go for Palmeri & Simmonds (50% retained)?

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Palmeri
Bjork - Coyle - Simmonds
Wagner - Kuraly - Nordstrom

 

[Gee Wally]
