Totally agree. The last 40 games he has played have shown what an imposter he is. Those first 7 years were such a tease. Better deal him now for whatever we can. We don't want him around when we have a healthy and complete team, he will just drag them down. Call up Spooner. He can be our new 1st line LW. He is so talented.

I get your point here, I just respectfully disagree.
1. The league has changed, as has the Bruins roster. Skill guys are more important than Lucic types now.
2. Lucic is not what everyone wants/thinks he is night in and night out. It is almost impossible for him to be, in his defense.
3. I do agree with your assessment of the 4th line. That is the one spot where an enforcer would work.
4. I feel (my opinion) "heavy" and "jam" aren't as important as they were 3 years ago.
Again, just my opinion. I think they have similar disagreements internally in the FO.

If Bergeron is injured stick a fork in it.
Trade Krug, Looch, Bart, maybe Loui and whoever can net a good return without killing the core to contenders.
This just isn't our season. I don't want to trade for ****** rentals like Stewart unless we somehow get into a safe PO position soon.

Why? He is arguably our most important player. (Arguably.)
I wonder how many teams in hockey can win the Cup without their most important player.
He is "Mr. Everything" who plays in all situations in all three zones.

If Bergeron is done it would be great if they could get spooner/Koko and julien to make nice nice

Assuming the goal is still "win the cup," I would say Chicago would be screwed if they lost Toews. Same for LA if they lost Kopitar.
Why? Leading scorer, shuts down the other team, plays the PP and PK. Future captain.
The Bruins game revolves around Bergeron. Maybe in 2011 or 2013, but we don't have the depth or health this year to succeed without him.
Me neither. But it's true. I wish it wasn't but he's the one guy on this team you can always rely on. The entire offense collapses with him out.
Luckily he's only day to day. Gotta hope it isn't something that will nagg him for the rest of the season. All you can do.

Trade Lucic is the answer? Is this board for real? You lose your whole identity when #17 is gone. Chara is almost finished and who do you have then? McQuaid? Campbell? The big bad Bruins are no more. We keep Lucic, we get a banger for the 4th line, a power forward to play on the top line and a top 4 dman and we're back to what made us successful the last number of years. Its a frustrating time right now, but the amount of crap I read from "Bruins Fans" is ridiculous. Its not always good times

Honestly, I am starting to think blowing the team up is the way to go. Krejci, Bergeron, Rask and Hamilton are the only guys I would keep under most if not all circumstances. This year's draft is stacked, wouldn't mind trying to get a top 10 pick this year and clearing up cap room in the process.

It amazes me management would trade a young player with elite skills they were essentially gifted after dogging so many picks. Abysmal drafting is what is killing this team and it's been happening slowly for awhile, it's just now it's really starting to show
I don't want to say they're arrogant, but it's really starting to look that way to me. Don't think any trades can help them other than loading up for the draft and getting player analysis right for once

For me it just feels like an excuse to throw in the towel. I also feel like it de-values all of the other players.
I know how important Bergeron is to this team and its success. I just don't like the chicken little mentality every time he misses a shift or practice.

I'll happily say it: Bruins FO is arrogant. CJ is arrogant. Behind the B segment on Seguin trade was teeming with arrogance (and stupidity).
We would struggle very badly without him.
And with the way this team is already playing? Yeah, we would be screwed.
