Rumor: 2021-2022 Official Boston Bruins Rumors and Roster Proposal Thread X

[The National]

I tend to doubt DeBrusk going to Nashville as
he doesn't fit their type of play whatsoever.
Even Granlund plays with more aggression.

Matt Duchene doesn’t.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Matt Duchene doesn’t.

Yeah he is close to Jake.

 

[Greek_physique]

Makes you wonder if one legit team wants Debrusk, but the offer is still low and Sweeney might eventually have to cave, similar to how we got Hall last year from Buffalo.

 

[Hookslide]

Nick Ritchie (7th player Award voted by Bruins fans & beat up Hathaway) > Nick Foligno (200 + NHL goals & captain of Ottawa & Columbus)

all seriousness most Bruins fans including some here get their information from the Felger & Mazz Sports Troll drive home

Well if you are getting your information from those two guys you have issues ...........As well as most of the media in Boston.

So long as he is starting from a high ask, this is fine.

 

[BlackFrancis]

The Bruins putting DeBrusk on the his off wing on line 1 might hint at the Rags being interested. They've got absolutely nothing on the right side right now.

 

[Hookslide]

Debrusk needs to go! We ain't resigning him! He's got the hot hand! Take advantage!

He is playing well right now ,but if can keep this up for a few more weeks someone panic that needs a forward and will anti up.............

 

[Hookslide]

What is Sweeney’s asking price for DeBrusk?

I don't believe he knows ................he is going to ask Taylor Hall how to handle deadline deals.....

If jake had a NMC

People do sadly

 

[PlayMakers]

What is Sweeney’s asking price for DeBrusk?

At one point it was reported that Sweeney was looking for a player of similar age and upside who is also underperforming. i.e. Guys like Strome, Kubalik, Roslovic...

Still more than three weeks to go until the deadline, with little to no movement in trades. I suspect some teams, like SJ, don’t want to move an asset like Hertl unless they know they are out. Others are sitting on their assets waiting for prices to go up closer to the deadline. That’s a gamble that could backfire.

 

[PlayMakers]

The problem is the risk he gets hit and immediately reverts back. You have to admit
that its a significant possibility with him. I'm not talking a Kadri assault, but a regular hard hit.

Pre injury DeBrusk and I am convinced this
current situation never happens and we are moaning about Senyshyn and even Zboril because DeBrusk threatens to hit 30 goals.

I don't think the Kadri hit had anything to do with it. He disappeared for long stretches before that hit too. He just got to play with Krejci and on PP1 and that filled in some of the long stretches with a random point here or there.

I do think the isolation last year was a problem for him, mentally. Which is nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of people struggled with that. This year he's back to being what he always has been, a player who teases with his skill and speed but can't summon the energy to be that guy consistently.

 

[PlayMakers]

I will give A+ for Coyle and Hall / Lazar trades.

Everything else yuk!

Mojo was a good depth trade.

Mike Reilly for a 3rd was also a good trade that had a huge impact down the stretch last year.

They could use a couple moves like that, in addition to the big fish.

Isn't Panarin a RW?

SJ knows they're out.

There is little to no movement because of the salary cap. For the buyers, every day they wait equals more money they have to spend. And for the sellers, every day they wait means more teams can afford their players.

I actually think prices are higher before the deadline, and prices come down the closer you get to the clock striking zero and time running out. I think that's why we see such a premium for the 3 or 4 players that get traded before D-day. Team X knows exactly who they want and are willing to pay the higher asking price now to ensure they get their man.

 

[PlayMakers]

Isn't Panarin a RW?

No.

 

[Tbaybruin]

If we don’t make any other moves that effect our cap we could eat 1/2 of DeBrusk’s contract thus getting a better return.

 

[Ratty]

Different scenarios. Bruins got Hall who has a NMC and only wanted to go to Boston. That greatly reduced Sabres’ leverage.

 

[Flannelman]

SJ knows they're out.

.

how sure are you, Bill? 9/10?

 

[NeelyDan]

Colour me surprised:

Among teams likely to qualify for the playoffs, the Nashville Predators are the top hitting team with 1,409. They are second behind the Ottawa Senators. The Boston Bruins (1,355) are fourth and the Pittsburgh Penguins (1,333) are fifth. The Rangers (1,318) are sixth, followed by the Lightning (1,298) and Panthers (1,283).

It was rumored they were interested a month or so ago.

 

[PlayMakers]

Well, money puck gives them a 1.9% chance of making the playoffs so there's that.

SJ would have to be 8 points better than Edmonton over the final 31 games. Meaning they'd have to go 22-9-0 to jump ahead. This from a team that has 23 wins this season. It's just a huge surge in performance, especially when you consider they'd have to win those 22 games against teams that are mostly ahead of them in the standings. Even if EDM falters, there are 4 teams ahead of SJ that are more likely to take the spot.

But I guess it's not impossible, 1.9% is still a chance.

 

[wintersej]

Almost made the playoffs though.

They were 4 points out of first at the TDL. I just can't even.

Everyone SHOULD be low balling right now. And Sweeney SHOULD be asking for the moon. Lets see what happens closer to the deadline.
