Proposal: All Bruins Trade Proposals VI

[DominicT]

I'll believe anything you tell me, Dom

So what we do know:

LA trying to move Kovalchuk, but unlikely until his bonus money is paid on Dec 15
Ott trying to move Bobby Ryan and have been for over a year

Should the Bruins acquire either one without sending Backes the other way, I will cheer for the Red Wings.

Isn't that right @OneManIsNoMan ?

Sounds about right lol

 

[Saxon Eric]

For the record I'm a firm no on Kovalchuk even at 75% retained

Kristian Vesalainen was a guy I liked during the 2017 draft, but we took Vaak.

You just went off my radar. I figured we would want a player that we could plug in now. Is Vesalainen NHL ready?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

jon moore/kevin miller, cehlarik for roslovic.. jon moore is cost controlled for a long period of time. which is what winnipeg wants/needs.. roslo doesnt get the minutes he should . decent size, nose for the net has skill.. would love to see this happen .. probably would have to throw more than that at winnipeg though

Roslovic is a 3rd liner. Not sure we need to make a move for another 3rd liner. Would be cheaper and more effective to give our kids a look on the 3rd with Coyle and Bjork.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Is this you justifying his role as the current 3rd line center? Because if it is....

No, this is me refuting your comment that Lindholm is "a complete joke and unacceptable"

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

would you do ? : torey krug for anthony Mantha swap.
While krug is out with an injury bruins brass can assess if #48 can be a top 4 D. if he can i may think about doing that trade.

If Krug was opting for UFA this summer, yes. But he has come out and said he wants to stay in Boston and made hints that he would take a discount to do so.

If they meet and cannot come to terms on a contract by February then we can revisit this idea. I think its a fair deal for both sides if Detroit resigns Torey.

I just dont think that Boston is going to trade him. He is too important to the team to let walk.

 

[compan]

I used to be on the Gryz can potentially replace Krug train if we traded him for Top 6 help, but since then Krug has IMO made huge strides defensively. He gives it his all in the playoffs when it matters too. Hoping the Bs can lock him up at a fair price.

I'd be lying if I told you I knew lol. He's only played 37 games in the AHL and has 6G/13A, so he probably still needs some seasoning. Big kid though at 6'4/205lb with a offensive skill set.

No and he's a LW

 

[ON3M4N]

No and he's a LW

I know he's a left shot, but I'm pretty sure he can play either wing. I know a lot of sites have him listed as a LW/RW or simply W.

Detroit isn't doing that

I'll one up you- I'm a firm no on Kovalchuk even at 100% retained. Even if he wasn't cooked he isn't what the Bruins need (hint, hint, 2RW)

 

[bbfan419]

TSN had their insider panel on tonight talking about Kovy and mentioned how the Bruins and Sharks were in on him when he signed with LA and that both team must be breathing a sigh of relief they lost out on him.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Man, I’d take Kovalchuk at 50% retained. Just because the Bruins have Pastrnak firing one timers on the PP doesn’t mean we can’t have someone else doing it too. I think he’s still got a wicked shot.

Then why aren't the Kings ( currently with the 4th worst offense in the NHL ) playing him ????

 

[PlayMakers]

In the right situation Kovalchuk could be another James Neal. I’m not sure that situation is here, but put him next to Malkin on PIT’s 2nd line and on the Pens 1st PP and I think he’d take off.

 

[CDJ]

Then why aren't the Kings ( currently with the 4th worst offense in the NHL ) playing him ????

Because he does not give a shit about anything other than scoring. While he still has some production that is vastly outweighed by how much of a liability he is doing everything else

The real question is why is he a liability in those areas? Is it because the kings stink and he’s not engaged? Or is it because he’s fallen off a cliff? He’s probably too costly to take a shot on him, even with money retained

I’ve been a big fan of Kovalchuk since he came into the league. I do not want to see him end his career like this

 

[bbfan419]

At this point I would take Backes over Kovalchuck, don't want that poison anywhere near this team.

 

[maxl7]

I don't want Kovalchuk on the Bruins but the people here acting like he's some sort of locker room poison are either delusional or harboring some anti-Russian bullshit sentiment. By all accounts, he's well-liked in the Kings locker room. Not that that matters anyways because on ice he's toast.

 

[sarge88]

Watching tonight’s game vs. Washington doesn’t discourage me at all, provided they get the 2RW or 3C they need.

Either of these lineups can win a cup.

Bergeron line.
JDB - Krejci - Coyle
Bjork - Trade -Heinen
Lindholm - Kuraly - Wagner -Ritchie - Nordstrom

Bergeron line.
JDB - Krejci - Trade
Bjork - Coyle - Heinen
4th line

 

[PlayMakers]

I want to see what the 4th line would look like if it were centered by Gaunce.

Kuraly - Gaunce - Wagner

I think Kuraly is struggling this year, and last season he had his best stretches on the wing.

Backes hasn’t skated in 2 weeks due to concussion

he’s a fool if he plays another game

Love Kuraly but he’s not been close to what he was last season second half thru the playoffs

 

[BlackFrancis]

He wasn't all that great prior to Christmas last season. After that, though, he was a killer.
