Management 2020 Off-Season Proposals , trade, sign, kick to curb II

[Coach Parker]

Question for the board:

What are you willing to give up for Zadorov, Jost and a 2nd in 2021?

I have a Jost bias from Pentiction days with Fabbro so I would move Rask for that.

 

[Dr Hook]

It sounds like if the Bruins/Yotes close the gap, OEL is on his way to Boston.

BUT, if this is the road they want to travel, then they'd better make sure Arizona is retaining or you will see another level of "Dom is losing it" tomorrow.

No one wants to see that. I guess I can't speak for anyone else, but I like the "normal" Dom better So here's hoping if the deal gets done AZ is retaining a mil or mil and half or so.

Question for the board:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know this one. The correct answer is Ryder, Halak, and a 2nd.

 

[Blowfish]

Well that settles the silly rumours...or does it?

 

[DKH]

Would guess the first two names were Studnicka and Swayman.

I’d guess the first is a left shot defenseman to plays OEL position who’s expansion protected in first contract who projects to be a solid second pair - a high floor regardless

Vaakanainen

the other guy is Frederic or Beecher

desperate people make bad decisions more often than not

Sweeney should have 0.0 desperation

Armstrong 99.9

If I’m Donny Hockey I can do Vaakanainen a lower level prospect but not Studnicka, Frederic, or Beecher or Swayman.

Moore as well and a 2 but no one

Getting out from under $60 M and Boston’s best defensive prospect who’s close to stepping in is more than enough

Don’t like it? Go trade him to Vancouver

 

[Dr Hook]

What if we ask Altitude Sports to hire Alex Kraemer as the Avs rinkside reporter?

 

[Smitty93]

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. It was something we all knew if he Rask didn't officially come out and say it.

McLaughlin: Bruins not afraid to ‘reach’ despite past misses

Not exactly taking Don to task, but he certainly questions the decision making.

This is actually a good, fair look at the situation. But there's a difference between writing an opinion piece and actually taking Sweeney to task in an interview, which the media in this town still seems unable or unwilling to do.

 

[LouJersey]

MAF offered around the league WITH a 2nd and no takers. Rask staying put I guess.

 

[Smitty93]

Question for the board:

What are you willing to give up for Zadorov, Jost and a 2nd in 2021?

In all seriousness, that's essentially a 5th defenseman, a stagnating young 3rd liner (who, by the way, basically had the same stat line as Bjork), and pick 60. I'm not sure why we should be giving up anything great for that.

If Don doesn't do Vaak and Freddy I think he is doing himself a disservice. Get them to eat 2m per and Moore.

 

[maxl7]

So Rask just confirmed he got a call from his wife that his daughter needs medical help and he’s looking at playing for few years and helping the team as much as possible.

You got that impression from his Finnish podcast interview in the summer and that he just didn’t quit because he didn’t like it

All of these things were known since basically the day after he left the bubble, but that still didn't stop morons from calling him a "quitter"

 

[Gator Mike]

MAF offered around the league WITH a 2nd and no takers. Rask staying put I guess.

Of course, the difference here is that Tuukka was really, really good last season, and MAF was horri-awful.

Report: B's don't like Coyotes' asking price for OEL trade

 

[maxl7]

Well that settles the silly rumours...or does it?

It doesn't settle anything. I talked to someone who would know (not Dom) who says that he heard Cam is "done" with Rask, hence the movement to trade him. We know Dom said that he heard the orders to trade him came from above Sweeney, but as far as I know he never specified who exactly that was. I can't imagine Cam settling for keeping Rask around, now, but we'll see, I guess.

 

[Don Cherry]

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. It was something we all knew if he Rask didn't officially come out and say it.

Great that we get to be held hostage. One way or another I would move on from Rask.

Report: Coyotes waiting for Bruins to make their move for Oliver Ekman-Larsson

O_O

Just make the move Don. Stop being a pushover.

 

[Mione134]

Rask isn’t expecting to get dealt.
“I think Sweeney came out and said that’s not going to happen,” Rask told Conroy. “I don’t want to play for anybody else but the Bruins. …
“I don’t see any reason for that,” Rask later noted. “I’ve been here for a long time and the organization’s been so great for me. We’ve built our home in Boston and we call this home. So, yeah, I don’t want to play for anybody else. I think where my head’s at is focusing on next year and then hopefully a couple of more years after that and then pass the torch for the next guy after that. I want to help the organization as much as I can.”

Rask was a Vezina Trophy finalist this past season. He went 26-8-6 with a .929 save percentage.

Sweeney is still evaluating his trade offers from 2017. Give him some time.

Slowpoke Rodriguez moves faster than Don Sweeney.

That player can disappear right in the pick in front of you.

Finley and then Peterson?

I really wish they'd dump Cam TBH. Great player, but sucks as an executive. He's the same guy that basically ran Seguin out of town and look what we have to show for it....nothing.

 

[DominicT]

"We’d like to get better, we’d like to improve," Sweeney said Wednesday. "We’re not as good as we need to be. And that’s the bottom line.

Really Sherlock?
