My proposal
Spooner, Beleskey, Zboril, O'Gara
For Duchene
I like Zboril ... but i would rather trade him than Carlo. Avalanche are looking for D depth, so the Bruins would have to include a decent D prospect like Zboril for starters.
Don't think anyone is going to cry over losing Spooner and Beleskey.
Lineup after trade
Marchand Bergeron Bjork
Duchene Krejci Pasta
Kuraly Czarnik Backes
Debrusk Heinen Nash
good?
your trade idea...
if I'm going to try to take this serious... some cap room has to go into their direction so belesky is a must but that adds negative value for them
duchene when he gives a damn and plays to win... is a better than average scoring forward. but when he quits on the team like last year he sucks and is paid 6 million to suck
I think it has to be a conditional deal
something like our 2019 first round pick, if he has scored a certain number of points over the next 2 years
I think the balance of this trade can be made up with prospects that are expendable. heinen will be in very difficult to make this team with Bjork/debrusk projecting to be better options. and one of the left shot dmen could be sacrificed in a high profile trade of this sort too.
get Colorado to eat 2 million of duchenes contract so that he and belesky are a wash
my proposal
belesky
heinen
lauzon
a 2019 first if Duchene scores at least 40 goals or at least 80 points over the next 2 seasons {prorated in case of injury} {a second rounder if he doesn't}
{they can have spooner if they want him too but I feel they wouldn't want him}
for
Duchene with 2 million salary retained making him a 4 million dollar cap hit like belesky
honestly... I don't want Duchene here so I wouldn't mortgage the farm for him but I do acknowledge that he is a huge upgrade over belesky and I would be willing to swap out a few of our overstocked prospects to make that upgrade happen
