Murphy: Sweeney Should Consider Trading Orlov, Bertuzzi

If they’re not already, the Boston Bruins should be gauging the NHL trade market for defenseman Dmitry Orlov and winger Tyler Bertuzzi. If the Bruins are still in a holding pattern with Orlov and/or Bertuzzi – whether due to lack of common ground in talks or failing to create salary cap space –...

I heard rumors of him being on the block last deadline, but not sure if they’re legit.

If Byfield isnt on the block, then a guy like Turcotte would be interesting too.

this is a buyer beware thing. Kid shooting his way out now of second team.
Plus reports he’s looking for long term 9 M aav contract.

I don't care how talented he is, and though to my surprise he apparently possesses "snarl," I don't want a guy like this on my team.

And you're going to pay him 9 million a year?

Go back to MTL, where you belong.

PS I hadn't considered trading Orlov or Bertuzzi, but if they can't keep either, I would see what I could get for them. Orlov in particular wants to test the market or go back to WSH.

I might be willing to get creative to retain Bert, but he too wants to test the market.

If that's the case, trade both and get what you can.

I am looking super closely at an OEL buyout. You might be able to get him on a nice deal. Vancouver and Boston were the only two teams on his NMC out of Arizona. He could take a discount to play here and would form a pretty solid top four if he can stay healthy.

OEL - McAvoy
Lindholm - Carlo
Forbort - Zboril

It's not the toughest defense but its is all over 6ft and 200 pounds.

OEL can’t even make the top 4 in Vancouver. And his buyout is a disaster.

Vancouver needs to clear cap space somehow and he averaged over 20 minutes a night the last two years there so that’s top four minutes for sure.

Most importantly tho is he was playing with an ankle sprain and is looking to finally have a half year and off-season of recovery. Not sure if you are going to find better cheap if the buyout happens.

See what Marc Staal is doing with Florida. Need those guys who quietly eat minutes.

Like what the Devils just did with Severson. If a team wants them on an 8 year deal, it is a good way to get a draft pick out of it. I am sure it would be much more likely with Bertuzzi but you never know
Click to expand...
They gave up something to the Devils because Severson and Jarmo (for some insane reason) wanted that 8th year.

That's really the only value added above a 6th or 7th, and no one is giving Bertuzzi or Orlov an 8 year deal.

Kings aren't looking to move Byfield, but we're definitely interested in Ullmark.

LA would probably be open to moving Turcotte, but he's had a rough time since being drafted. Lots of injuries. So his value is pretty low right now.

We do have some other cheap young forwards with upside, that are change-of-scenery candidates.
