Proposal: Bos-NSH

[bbfan419]

With all the talk of the Bruins looking to add to their blueline, vet guys like Tallinder, Phillips etc. I would only want them if the price were cheap, don't want to give away top prospects and picks for a rental on the downside of their career, if we could get one for say Caron fine otherwise stick with what we got. I would rather swing for the fences if they do trade. Just wondering if Nashville would move Weber? They are not going anywhere and should look at rebuilding.

Would this be enough/ too much?

To Boston:
Shea Weber

To Nashville:
Loui Eriksson
Matt Bartkowski or Johnny Boychuck
Ryan Spooner
Matt Fraser
2014 1st rd pick.

Would love to see a pairing of Chara and Weber that would be as nasty as it gets and the bombs they could unload on the PP would be awesome!

Why would Nashville do this ? Only one impact player coming back, and his career is in jeopardy due to concussions.

 

[amazingcrwns]

I think it'd have to be Boychuk that goes to make salary work, Jordan Caron would be the 3rd line RW, Bartkowski and Hamilton are both still in the top 4, and if there's an injury anywhere in the top 9, the first call-up is probably Nick Johnson, or someone without any NHL experience. I'd pass on this trade.

Nashville isn't parting with Weber without at least one front-line roster player coming back, and then start adding your picks/prospects as you will.

Eriksson just would not be enticing enough of a player for Nashville to even budge on that.

Either way, they just signed the guy to a massive deal. He's arguably the best defenseman in the game, and they are better with him than without. Whatever deal you make for Weber, the chances of getting back equal value are slim. I just don't see it.

That team isn't that bad off. Their D-core is quite good, and Jones could become another stud that they can pair with Weber. Rinne is still terrific. They need some forwards, but that can be accomplished by trading off some of their defensive depth and through the draft. I don't see the need for them giving up on Weber, unless they find his salary too onerous. But even then, as the cap starts ticking back upwards, it won't be as big of a deal.

So, long story short: I don't see it happening.

Is Mike O'Connell the GM of Nashville now?

You don't trade a diamond for 3+ rubies when you only can play with 5 stones at a time.

There`s not one player on that list that Nashville would look at and say "yep, he`ll step in nicely for Shea"

Talk about selling the farm, sorry, I`ve seen this movie too many times, a team "goes for it" and buys/trades/sells/pillages anyone they can to make a run only to fall, the overwhelming majority of the time, flat on their face (need only look to the Pens last year as the most recent example).

Overwhelming evidence that teams who "tweak" or do next to nothing, are usually the one`s who take er all the way

Absolutely love Weber, and while that list of players/prospects is nice, that`s a lot of the potential future to give away for a team who`s drafting hasn`t left me breathless with optimism in recent years

I dont think the Preds would trade Weber, but just for giggles...

To BOS:
Weber

To NAS:
Hamilton
Spooner
Koko
Smith
2014 1st
2014 2nd

That prolly will get turned down by the Preds and their fans lol...

They let fans help in Nashville? Why haven't any of them suggested a forward??

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Can we not merge this into the other thread, and ban all Weber trade proposals? I mean we could also try to trade for Sid...

 

[member 96824]

Can't believe this gets its own thread but my mega 4 way that lands Weber, Doughty, and Suter doesn't

 

[TCL40]

Nashville isn't trading Weber-it would have to be more like Krejci on that list instead of Eriksson and neither club is going to do that. If Nashville didn't want Weber they would have let him go to the Flyers when they offer sheered him.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

how about this:

to Boston:

a time machine
Bobby Orr

There's a better chance of this happening than Weber ending up here for Loui and prospects...

That's exactly why I suggested it. If we give Chia 6-7m to play with, that time machine thing could really happen.

How much can one of these possibly cost?

..add to that Dallas Smith AND Carol Vadnais!

$200K at the most and we'll be in business!!

1.21 Gigawatts is a lot easier to come by these days. The only issue I see is if you need a new flux capacitor, but maybe eBay?

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

If we trade our:

2016 1st and 2nd, Boychuk, Hamilton, Subban for Doughty
2015 2nd and 3rd + Koko for Hemsky
plus the trade in the OP, we ice:


Lucic Krejci Iggy
Marchand Bergeron Smith
Paille Soderberg Hemsky
Caron-Campbell-Kelly

Chara-Weber
Doughty-Krug
Miller-Bartwoski

I mean salary cap aside (which really doesn't matter), how is this not already happening?

*and even with that, people would find a way to complain about Caron*

How about we just close it instead? No real conversation will come from this that isn't in numerous other places.
