Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals XIII - Mod in Op

[Gee Wally]

I’d have added Bjork to this deal for Staal.

No one is gonna touch Bjork until mid next year if he can prove his shoulder is fully ok

 

[Bergyesque]

surprised they traded him with the family relationship, but i think the deal makes sense. we have so many
LW in the system. LHD is probably next. i would've traded cehlarik over donato but he also doesn't have
that value. also i think they love bjork and expect him to be in the mix next year.

Guess they have chosen Bjork's speed over Donato's shot.

I bet Donny tried

Coyle and Staal would have been fine pickups if these were the only moves made

I hope Donny is not finished yet

Need one more bigger move than Coyle

Yeah...probably true.

 

[TwineTickler]

and if t-freddy or studnicka is ready to grab the 3C, coyle moves to the wing. smart trade. versatile player.

100%. This is the type of trade I wanted. Also, he will probably be open to resigning being a local kid. Awesome trade.

 

[veganbruin]

I called it forever ago but Yuck. I hate this deal. Donato has a much higher ceiling than Coyle. This is a regrettable trade IMO and Coyle just isn’t consistent enough to trade for a player the caliber of Donato.

Coyle shoulda got what we traded for Chris Kelly.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Is Coyle an upgrade over the Riley Nash we saw last year as 3C ?

 

[Gee Wally]

I missed that interview. What did he say?

Its in the Donato thread.
Paraphrasing- he deserved to be in Boston , not AHL

 

[Wooren]

Donato is a good prospect, but his play this year has been dissapointing, didn't show much to be honest. Solid middle six player for him and a 5th is a decent value.

 

[22Brad Park]

So Coyle for Donato & 5th rd pick but deal will not be completed till 10 pm it says.Poor Donato ..

 

[neelynugs]

I’d have added Bjork to this deal for Staal.

Edit...thought Staal had another year innnis contract.....

Would do Donato, Bjork and a 5 for Staal and a third or something though.

staal doesn't seem to want to leave the wild. last time he left as a rental, he was terrible.
i like this deal better, provided they land a 2RW also.

 

[KlausJopling]

I’d have added Bjork to this deal for Staal.

Not sure there is much marke for Bjork right now with the injuries. Still think Bruins management is high on him. I’m okay with the trade. He may be a player. Maybe not. We have a lot of left winger prospects around the same age.

Now the question for this year. Do they go out and get a rw or center. My guess they go out and get a center and give Coyle ever opportunity with Krejci.

 

[Gee Wally]

My guess is they wanted Stall but he wouldnt approve for the Bs shifted gears.

 

[TwineTickler]

Guess they have chosen Bjork's speed over Donato's shot.

Bjorks got a pretty f***ing good shot... and they absolutely chose the better skater, as they should in todays NHL. Donatos skating was an issue for me

 

[veganbruin]

I have a really bad feeling about this.

 

[TSBruins13]

I’m good with this trade. Don’t really think Donato is going to amount to a whole lot. Coyle is at least a big body 3C with a lot of NHL experience. Our team definitely just got an upgrade but we still need to swing for the fences on a 2RW.

 

[Budddy]

Its in the Donato thread.
Paraphrasing- he deserved to be in Boston , not AHL

Thanks

 

[Bergyesque]

Heinen is Joes guy and Bjork is mine so I’m good

Should I wake Saxon Eric up in England to tell him

Who was Donato's guy?
EDIT: Oh, read too fast, is it Saxon Eric?

 

[AlpineLager]

Our 'big' RW acquisition wreaks of Kovalchuk right now.. hope im wrong.

 

[sarge88]

staal doesn't seem to want to leave the wild. last time he left as a rental, he was terrible.
i like this deal better, provided they land a 2RW also.

I guess that’s the key....the RW.

If Coyle is the second best player they acquire, then I’ll be psyched.

If he’s the big fish, I’ll be disappointed though.

 

[DKH]

Who was Donato's guy?

I thought Sweeney

 

[TwineTickler]

or they can roll heinen-coyle-nordstrom when they land a top 6 RW

Yea, I think there is zero chance that Backes is a regular post deadline and when healthy. Zero chance.

This gives them options for sure. Like you said Coyle on RW with Krejci or as the #3 C.

As long as Coyle is the lesser piece that they acquire I’m fine.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Honestly, I guess we'll figure out when the trade is announced what they plan to do with him.

Minny people think he is a better RW than a center, but then again, he has been positively lousy as RW this year.

I guess I am still hoping there is a good RW coming in. Maybe 3rd line RW is the right spot for Coyle

 

[rocketdan9]

Is Coyle an upgrade over the Riley Nash we saw last year as 3C ?

I think so

Better skater, taller, similar hands

 

[veganbruin]

Donny getting Chiarelli’d
