Right, because my post suggested it would be easy.
I'm stating what they need the most. They need other things too.
Who said it would be easy? You don't make tough hockey trades based on the list of available rentals. You call GMs, and try to work something out.
Eberle. Yak. Hall. Boedker. Foligno. There are others that could be available with the right deal.
When we traded Seguin, I don't recall him being shopped for weeks by the Bruins.
Evander Kane wasn't explicitly shopped-- the way Stewart, Vermette, and other rentals have been-- and got recently dealt.
I like Curtis Glencross as a player but please NO..maybe if this team showed a little more life as of late but with the way we are playing I'd rather just do nothing.
Call up some kids from Providence and see if they can spark the team like pasta did...and see if we can squeeze into the playoffs, once there who knows what will happen. If not, call it a year and try to fix stuff in offseason and at the draft. No band-aid fixes.
A declining 32 year old Curtis Glencross does not make us a contender...please Chia stay away! pleaseeeeee.

Glencross would be our Kelly of 2011. I am fully on board with it, definitely a work horse, prototypical Bruin. At the cost of Eriksson? Calgary would have to add.
This is what I see Chiarelli adding: Stewart, Glencross, Zidlicky.

It's a big no from me too.
I just realised that ryder has a 3.5M cap hit and still it was rumoured that chia was intrested,
Someone mentioned also elias and his cap hit is 5.5M
These boys can't save us.

I've heard, don't know if it's true that arizona is in trouble with his re-signing.
We have scouted arizona hard, so please chia take him and not vermette.
It's not time for a rebuild, but it IS time to identify the core, and to do a fairly significant renovation.
Core for me, excluding prospects:
Bergeron/Lucic/Krejci/Hamilton/Rask/Marchand/Pastrnak/Soderberg/Krug/McQuaid
Deal the rest.

Bergeron/Lucic/Krejci/Hamilton/Rask/Marchand/Pastrnak/Soderberg/Krug/McQuaid

Like I said before:
Jagr in.
Ryder in.
Iginla in.
Ference in.
Campbell out.
Caron out.
Bartkowski out.
Cunningham out.
Pastrnak in and out for resting players down the stretch.
Lucic - Krejci - Iginla
Marchand - Bergeron - Jagr
Erikson - Soderberg - Ryder
Smith - Kelly - Paille
Pastrnak
Chara - Hamilton
Seidenberg - Krug
McQuaid - Ference
Miller
GAME SET MATCH!

Ryder in.
Iginla in.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: In addition to MTL, @Real_ESPNLeBrun also reports WPG and VAN also with Bergenheim interest. Price thought to be a third-round pick.
That's not a bad asking price
(And I apologize mods, I'm posting from my phone, so it's difficult for me to do the fancy tweet thing)

Glencross IS a great player, workhorse...but we really don't need another kelly at this point. His offensive numbers have been on the decline, 32, really just a bad time to buy on him.
Unless he could be had for next to nothing (which I highly doubt..probably lots of contenders who would love him), I would not give up lots of assets for Glencross this season.
I don't get why everyone wants to give up Eriksson for nothing..I don't think he has been all that bad this year considering the rest of the team.
How much would we need to move to acquire Stewart, Glencross, and Zidlicky? and at the end of the day..do these guys really make us all that better once we subtract the assets we give up to get them?
I don't know..I'm just not feelin it this trade deadline...none of these guys look worth it now.

I really like Glencross. Him on the 3rd line would be huuuuge.
But he should not be the main target. If we could get him, it would be a secondary deal. We need more than what he can provide, although he could provide a lot. Very good role player.
A Glencross-Soderberg-Eriksson/Smith 3rd line would be unreal. But we need our 1st line to be good.

you were serious...
The offense is better but that defense is just as atrocious as it is now. We do not need a bottom pairing dman right now, as much as I love Ference. We need a #3-4 (Petry, Sekera etc).
Wait...who are you trading to get Iginla, Jagr, Ryder and Ference? Cause those scraps you took out aren't going to cut it. And there's no way that works cap-wise. Ference and Iginla both have fairly significant cap hits for long terms.

Marchand is speed with good hands and has a bit of snarl - he's an ideal 2nd liner for me.
Looch and Quaider are just plain elements that I want to see on my team.
I understand opinions will vary a great deal on this.

No way i'd remove Lucic and McQuaid.
The team is soft enough as it is, losing the ONLY source of toughness is not the right idea. Ever.
Question -
When a team retains a cap hit in a trade, are they still on the hook for the real money owed, or is it just in terms of cap money?
Like, if Detroit trades Joe Smith and his $1m contract to Buffalo at 40% retained, do the Red Wings pay $400,000 real money to Joe Smith out of their payroll(prorated daily), or does Buffalo's payroll pay the whole contract and the $400k just stays on Detroit's cap and not the Sabres'?
Because if it's not a real money problem, I could see us getting teams like Phoenix or Calgary to retain some of their hits if they don't need to spend the actual cash.

Stewart is not enough. We need a legit talent for the top line.
If they find that top line talent, I'm fine with Glencross, Zidlicky.

Toughness shouldn't occur once every 3 games....Lucic. I want consistency in what you do best.
Looch doesn't seem to want to play hockey. Not physical. Not playing acceptable offense. Lazy back-checking on many occasions.
Later
Forgive if already posted: Seidenberg says he is willing to waive NTC

We bring in boedker+sekera+petry, team gets younger and we would have a proper D group again.
We can add winnik/kassian/ on 4th.
Out eriksson+seidenberg+bart+smith+
And then the rest in the offseason
