As long as we don't hear the name Loui Eriksson in the upcoming rumors I can live with it..

Prout for Lucic?

 

[Nanabijou]

In all seriousness though, I'm not sure who the CBJ would be targeting and I'm a little worried it is Lucic. He's not worth 6+ million and I'd hate to have to cheer for him. I'd have to shower after every game.

It would just about have to be Eriksson, wouldn't it? Who else would the Bruins be willing to part with?

Not saying I would want him, especially with his concussion history.

He's not worth what they would want for him, this has me worried tbh.

Hopefully it's nothing though.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I'm guessing they like Atkinson.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Marchand's name was out there as someone that may be moving.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Boston certainly has a lot of NTC clauses and a lot of salary they need to move. They seem to be really pigeonholed by over 4.7 million in bonus overages from last season. Hard to say if there is even a match there between NTC and whatever else is left.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ewww

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Marchand's name was out there as someone that may be moving.

He has a modified NTC. Not sure what the details of that are.

 

[Tulipunaruusu*]

Now we know why Jaro was in Buffalo last night.

Had to hammer out some final details.

Jaro Kekäläinen (or Halak) apparently had good time in Buffalo prior to Luke Adam trade.

He responds to your scorn with the GWG!

 

[DJA]

If it's Marchand or Lucic, I'm going to puke.

Also, like I said in another thread, Jarmo acquiring all of this forward depth makes me think something big is on the horizon.

Maybe it's not a forward. Maybe it's Svedberg?

 

[ernmorris]

Ha - and Eriksson gets the game winner in OT tonight. 2 point night for him. And Jarmo was there to see it all.

 

[major major]

Marchand and Lucic are the guys you hate to play against. Not the guys you hate to have on your team. I'd love 'em.

 

[Fro]

but neither are the players they were just a year ago or even 2 yrs ago...we have an ability to aim higher

I'd possibly get over it with time but man they are 2 of my most hated people in the league. One is a cry baby and the other is a diving rat. Although Marchand has seemed to calm down a bit

 

[NotWendell]

Outside of the backup goalie, I don't know why we'd be looking at the Bruins.

 

[stevo61]

Not sure if people have watched Boston this year but I really don't think they'd part with Svedberg. Ofcourse it would be nice but watching Rask a few games he's been up and down so until he regains his consistency I doubt they'd even consider a backup downgrade. Plus when you think of Boston making a trade you'd have to assume they'd be looking to send money and save.
CBJwennberg may be right that Boston would consider Atkinson to add some scoring on the right side which they really need plus the lower salary but at the same time Chiarelli has already been on record saying he wants size

Us and Boston just doesn't add up.

 

[DJA]

So if it's Eriksson, what would we offer? I have no clue. I'm terrible with proposals. Atkinson + Rychel + draft pick?

i do remember whispers about JJ to Boston at last year's trade deadline.

 

[Nanabijou]

Yeah, I'm having a hard time seeing the fit either. These things often don't come to fruition, but they are likely at least looking at someone more closely if both Zito and Jarmo have been there.

Boston will be looking to shed salary and we have lots of cap space. So Svedberg doesn't make sense. I don't really see a defenseman that we'd be targeting or Boston would be giving up. Eriksson, Lucic and Marchand I guess are the prime suspects, depending on whether their modified NTC doesn't preclude Columbus.

The deal doesn't excite me but I could see something being discussed involving Eriksson and Atkinson.

Way too much. And I like Eriksson. Maybe Atkinson straight up. And even that I'd hope the Bruins chip in - they're saving a lot of money and Eriksson is 4 years older.
