So they can play shuffle the deck, sitting guys out to guarantee that a lesser D man gets to the 40 game line, right?Clifton needs protecting, Vaak does not.
What everyone seems to be forgetting is that you HAVE TO EXPOSE 1 defenceman that has played in 40 games during the 2020/2021 season or 70 games over 2019/2020 and 2020/2021.
Right now only Carlo, McAvoy and Gryz meet that.
Clifton needs to play 31, while Moore, Lauzon, Kampfer, Zboril and Miller need to play 40 to meet exposure requirements. They can still be chosen by Seattle, but one has to be made available that meets the criteria.
Unless the NHL, Seattle and the PA reach an agreement to somehow prorate everything, that's what you are dealing with.
People are jumping the gun on Gryz. The Bruins have used him as a third pairing defenseman to this point, so how would Seattle be nuts not to take him? I like Gryz but we are going to find out a lot about him this year with Krug and Chara (most likely?) gone. There is a lot left to be determined on the player.
Personally, I think Lauzon jumps him in importance by the end of the season. I'm higher on Lauzon than most, and I'm putting more stock in what I saw in Lauzon before the bubble than during the bubble.
Love the lineup but I wouldn’t give up Studnicka in this deal.Okay, I have read a lot of post about Hanifan. Not sure why it makes sense for Calgary..BUT
1st) if Hanifan comes here Studnicka goes the other way.
2) Bennett probably wont be traded but would love to add him.
Long term success probably not best to trade Studnicka. Short term makes sense.
I love what these 2 players would add.
I'll give it a shot
Hanny and Benney
For
Studnicka, Bjork, Moore, 1st, Clifton.
Sign Chara 1yr/1 million
Marchand Bergy Pasta
Debrusk Krecji Smith
Bennett Coyle Kase
Ritchie Kuralry Wags
Kuhlman, Freddy.
Hanifan McAvoy
Gryz Carlo
Chara Lauzon/Miller
Zboril
Didn't do the math but might be over cap by peanuts.
That line up can smack you in the mouth
Done!What about Gryz + Kase + Kuhlman + 3rd rd pick for Hanifin + Bennett ?
Good news here because this likely means Frederick is going to be on the roster.Noticed some jersey number swaps for a few of the players according to Bruins website. Sorry if mention somewhere else I didn't see. I think the Bruins are counting on them this year.
Jeremy Lauzon will wear #55
Jack Studnicka will wear #23
Trent Frederic will wear #11
Craig Smith will wear #22
Greg McKegg will wear #18
Calgary I don’t think would do it. Gryz is a good centerpiece but everything else is a no especially if your adding Bennett too.What about Gryz + Kase + Kuhlman + 3rd rd pick for Hanifin + Bennett ?
Love the lineup but I wouldn’t give up Studnicka in this deal.
Is kase and vak for hannifin I think.
I think you are rating Hanifin a little bit high on the defenseman chart. For his 5 year career he is -47 overall. He could contribute with some offensive skills and he does have size as a positive factor.0% chance I think Calgary gives up a young top pairing guy on a good contract for a 3rd liner with concussion issues and a young prospect that is over hyped on this board who also is already a concussion deep.
Hanifan starts with Studnicka or Debrusk.

I would not include Studnicka or Debrusk if trying to trade for him. I think we should stick with our young D of McAvoy and Carlo and just see if a left defenseman with some offensive skills becomes available. Do not rush into anything.
You have to give to get. Hanafin has a better chance of being a top pairing D than Studnicka does of being a top line center. I would prefer to see Kase in the trade but if Studnicka is the stumbling point I would do it, also love Bennett.not trading stud at this point.
Calgary doesn't even pick up the phone for thatIs kase and vak for hannifin I think.

They would pick up the phone, but then remind the Bruins that neither player has never even scored one goal for them.Calgary doesn't even pick up the phone for that

Half of them believe Hanifin being a local will magically change him into a good player if he's traded here. I expect them to be shocked like Calagary fans were when Alberta boy Bouwmeester was acquired by the Flames and kind of sucked.Oliver Ekman-Larsson is a -92 over his career.
So why are we coveting these two stiffs?

The other half believe he's some guy named Hanafan.
