So...just throwing this out there...Ryan Spooner for Bryan Rust + 3rd round pick...Which team says no?
Why would the Pens or the B`s do this?

Bruins are on the record looking for a right wing....Granted they are looking for someone to play on the top two lines and Rust isn't exactly an offensive presence. Still, the Bruins seem to lack something on the forecheck (outside of the 4th line) and that is Rust's game. Pittsburgh needs a center to play 3rd line minutes, Sheahan is a 4th liner.
IMO, Rust isn`t close to being the guy who can slide into a top 6 spot as you mentioned which is why I asked why either team would do this.
I`ll disagree with you in regards to the B`s forecheck being primarily lead by the 4th line, Nash/Heinen and Backes are a pain in the arse for opponents and Bergy`s line combines both skill, speed and hockey IQ on the forecheck. I just don`t see Rust being an upgrade over anyone currently on the B`s roster to the point that I send Spoons for him
I like the Krejci line in the offensive zone, but defensively with Spooner on the wing I think the line is a vulnerability. I think maybe if they slotted in Rust there (or on another line), it might make the Bruins tougher to beat.
tougher to beat? Tough critic, not seeing our boys dropping too many over the last month to 6 weeks
YOU DON'T MAKE TRADES for playoff positioning, B's are nowhere near a bubble team...I mean in the playoffs! I am very happy with the Bruins right now.

Kypreos was implying that the Bruins as well as other teams were interested in koekoek at the beginning of the year when the Bruins were looking for another LH d-man and that sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't made as Yzerman now needs Koekkoek after the Hedman injury.I don't really understand the Bruins being interested in Koekkoek? He's still young at 24, but he's not a better option than Grzelcyk? Unless they just like him as a potential depth piece with upside if given a chance? I don't know...Doesn't really make sense.

To me, the only right wingers who would be worthwhile with contracts up in the next two years are either Rieder or Silfverberg, maybe Donskoi. I just don't know why their teams would trade them.
Ryder`s still playin????
I will just say this. I think many here over value our prospects badly and under value other team's players. I know I lean heavily the other way but we'll see. I still dont see any grit,size or toughness at forward in the organization but I do see a ton of small, fast forwards. Move some of them and eliminate an obvious weakness
Oel would be a great d partner for Carlo/Miller. Then krug with Carlo/Miller and the b’s defense is very good with grzcelyk and Mcquaid ready for action. I would give up a fair amount for him if they’d take beleskey as he has another year after this one.

I doubt Arizona even considereds that. Look at what a haul Avs received for Duchene. Sens 1st+3rd+Bowers+Hammond+Nashville 2nd+Girard+Kamenev. Three excellent prospects, 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks and Hammond as a throw in.

At what price???Good, because we don't need Oel at that price
