GDT: 2016 Trade Deadline Day Part II : 3 PM approaches

[GarbageGoal]

Whatever.

Draft over after day one I guess.

 

[bruins repeat time]

I am not happy giving up a 2nd pick , heck I wouldn't do that alone for him. If it was a 3rd and 4th id be fine with today even though I really don't know how much help they will be.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

...

A 2nd and a 4th for Stempniak?

I like it.

We improved the team without divvying a single prime asset. I'm happy.

I'm not. Now, they have to re-sign Loui, because let him walk isn't an option.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Anyone who thinks the assets given up today dont outweigh what we got needs therapy. That is an abomination.

Chia's free 2nd - which we barely deserve in the first place - and a 4th? Meh.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Don't worry, they'll get back a 5th when they trade Eriksson's rights prior to July 1!

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

2nd rounder is 2017 according to Bobby Mac

Even better.

I'm okay with this deadline. I really am.

We didn't get a big fish... But Liles could be a lot better than I thought. And I've always liked Stempniak.

This is good stuff.

 

[BMC]

Unless you're honest with yourself and have the stones to call for a rebuild. Delusional Donny can't or won't do that.

I think it is more likely he isn't allowed to do that. Management doesn't want to empty the stands.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I know, we should bring back the previous guy who traded Boychuck and Seguin for not close to market value right?

They're pretty close now. Sweeney flushing assets down the toilet for no reason whatsoever. Another #7 defenseman and a 30-40 point 3rd liner. Disgusting.

The Garden needs to be full of boo-birds for the remainder of the season.

 

[Over the volcano]

I dont know if this is on Cam or Don but Don's gonna cop it. Hes where Chia was with me when he was fired.

If you believe what was out there Chia was ready to give up real (crippling) assets for a weak push last year- What Sweeney gave up was nothing in comparison.

They're pretty close now. Sweeney flushing assets down the toilet for no reason whatsoever. Another #7 defenseman and a 30-40 point 3rd liner. Disgusting.

The Garden needs to be full of boo-birds for the remainder of the season.

Stempnaik is already over 40 pts on the year. . . just saying

 

[mikelvl]

My question is.What are Bruins trying to do here?? Are we building for a good future core here or getting guys over 30 and giving up assets to try and win now? They seem like they have no direction.

Future:
Heinen
Lauzon
Bjork
Fitzgerald
Donato
Senyshyn
JFK
Gabrielle
Carlo
Zboril
DeBrusk
Vatrano
Acciari
Kuraly
McIntyre/Subban

And I may be forgetting some. You are overreacting.

 

[patty59]

Unless you're honest with yourself and have the stones to call for a rebuild. Delusional Donny can't or won't do that.

Name a team that's done it.

 

[Riverfront]

a cash strapped team like Carolina getting a 3RD and 5TH plus camara for j.m. liles was a very good return. They were desparate to unload salary and don Sweeney should have realized that and just offered a 7th round pick at the last minute and Carolina would have taken it just to get rid of the salary.
Then don trades a 2ND and 4 TH For stempniak. Don will soon realize that draft picks are gold in a salary cap world and he will have aging veterans retire or walk at the end of the year. what a sad deadline day for bruins fans, don Sweeney should have just done nothing.

 

[RustyBruins72]

It's a 3rd and a 5th. Camara is nothing.

Would have preferred that it was a 4th... But we have 2 1st round picks. Relax. We can get a 4th/5th back by trading Loui's rights.

Yeah, because dealing Loui today would have been "bad for business". Who the hell wants a top prospect and a high draft pick when we can recover a 4th round pick we sent for a 33 year old D man?

A very disappointing deadline.

 

[bob27]

Not happy about losing a 2nd, but Stempniak is a quality player.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Future:
Heinen
Lauzon
Bjork
Fitzgerald
Donato
Senyshyn
JFK
Gabrielle
Carlo
Zboril
DeBrusk
Vatrano
Acciari
Kuraly
McIntyre/Subban

And I may be forgetting some. You are overreacting.

Many will bust. Or become further depth.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I'm not. Now, they have to re-sign Loui, because let him walk isn't an option.

I don't think they have to, personally. Would rather have him for the playoffs than trade him for futures.

Now we have to make the damn playoffs which is anything but a cinch at this point.

 

[Estlin]

At least the second is a 2017 second and not this years.

You sending Marchand out? Thats the only way they afford Loui.

I think that 2017 is supposed to be a stronger draft than the one this year.

Instead of Marchand being a casualty to sign Eriksson, maybe it will be Krug (and Seidenberg).

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

The prices for Liles and Stemp are fine. But that D though.

 

[2ka RasK*]

Well I mean who needs to build through the draft right?! 2,3,4,5 picks gone for... JM Liles and Stempniak who was at our training camp lmfao

2 firsts and a second still in this years weak draft


the other picks could be 3 years from now

we dont know yet

next years draft is so much better

 

[alg363636]

Correct me if I'm wrong...didn't we give up our 2016 2nd to get Connolly?

 

[sarge88]

I'm on to the draft!

 

[Dreghorn2]

So in a salary cap league where draft picks are precious, (the more you have the greater the odds of finding entry level contracts for your roster), we traded a 2,3,4, and a 5 for a couple months of Stempniak and Liles.

Interesting.

Doesn't exactly reek of dynamic innovative management to me.

 

[Shaun]

could have had hudler or versteeg instead for a similar price

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

I wanted Loui traded, but at the end of the day I'm looking forward to a little playoff hockey. All can do now is get behind 'em.

 

[BruinDust]

Price for NJ's leading scorer is fair at 2nd and a 4th.

The fact he could of been had for free last Sept. is inconsequential.

Whether you agree with the direction (buying vs. selling) or not (and I don't), the price Sweeney paid is certainly fair.

I would of been happier if the 2nd was Koko or even Griffith but that's splitting hairs.
