Boston Bruins 22-‘23 Bruins roster and trade proposals discussions. VIII

[ODAAT]

Gavrikov any better than Carson Soucy?

hmm, good question, I think he is though, not by a ton

 

[goldnblack]

I still think Towes will be a Bruin

Ya I like that route too.

Debrusk is the forward everyone thinks we need.

I'd have no issues with Toews, Acciari, a #7D that's hard to play against. We'd be ready to go to war.

 

[Number8]

So why should we be trading it?

The 1966 draft? The one where Barry Gibbs was the top pick?

I still hate that pick. In my book if you were going to go falsetto, Leo Sayer was the guy.

Id love an Acciari reunion. Thats the type of player you need driving the fourth line center spot again

 

[ON3M4N]

Was looking through some prior trades and noticed that the pick LAK used to select Forbort was originally Boston's pick. Boston had used the 1st rounder as part of the deal to bring Horton & Campbell to Boston. Florida later flipped the pick to LAK.

I think the need for a left shoot center that is good on the Dot is a need. I simply think Towes may not be the player he once was , but he sure would help in a playoff run. the problem is what is it going to cost to get a third team involved to retain salary

This is where I think they need to be smart.

Toews would require several parts that add to cost.

Retention, usually costs trade capital. Taking bad contracts (Reilly/Smith) usually costs something. We involve a 3rd team, what are we paying there?

What is the cost of alternative that may only require 1/3 things listed above?

While I don't know what other offers/ options are officially out there. Toews is still solid, but is looking like a costly investment, I would definitely need to know what the alternatives are before having him as the top priority.

On top of that, if he is our big fish, it means we have less space to add to other parts of the team, which if rumors are correct they are trying to add a non-insignificant defenseman.

@DominicT Hey Dom, know if we are having any dialogue with our favorite trade partner, The Ducks?

 

[Kegs]

Shayne Gostisbehere - averaging over 22 minutes per game.

In 48 games he has 9 g / 20 a ... In 53 games Hampus has 6 g / 28 a.

$4.5 cap hit / UFA after this season.

This is a no brainer. Bruins need someone to help run the PP and generate some offense.

Ya but he is tiny and horrible defensively. He has a cannon tho. Dress 7 d toss him out on the pp?

I would trade Bruins 1st for Gavrikov as long as Columbus is taking Reilly back.

1st + 3rd + Reilly for Gavrikov.

I would look to re-sign Gavrikov after trading for him. Move Grzelcyk at the draft for a pair of 2nds or something along those lines.

Bruins would have 2 monster d-pairings now and for the future.

Gavrikov-McAvoy
Lindhol-Carlo

The Bruins have been on record from various sources ( both insiders and public record ) that they prefer to not pay big for a rental and would rather have someone who they can sign here for the long term. So getting Gavrikov would be great but if he's intent on getting that last big splash contract of his career via the UFA market, that might change things for the Bruins.

 

[22Brad Park]

After watching that game last night I am on the faceoff specialist train.

The fact that he won’t talk contract has me scared away.

 

[SPV]

I know our forwards are better when Jake comes back, but it still leaves Hall on an anemic third line. So, I’ve sort of latched on to the idea of getting Kane from Chicago. That would give us three really good lines that can score, and massive match up issues for other teams in the playoffs. Foligno, Frederic, etc can fill out an experienced veteran fourth line.

Then just add a depth defender in case of injuries, maybe Jack Johnson in a package with Kane.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Or Lou Christie.

 

[22Brad Park]

Every single player on Hawks roster is a minus player except Jake McCabe .He only has 2 goals 16 pts but I thought that was neat stat on that roster

A trade for Towes is no different than any other trade . All trades are about cost. The thing about a Towes trade is Chicago is limited to where he is willing to go which reduces the cost in one way . Like we are both saying the cost of getting a third team involved is an unknown. Simply saying if the right deal can be reached he would be a nice addition,

 

[Number8]

Chychrun seems like a nice kid. That said he must be thinking that Arizona is just the worst place to be.

Play in a college rink - which I'm sure was fun at first, but it's got to be getting old.
Team regularly is a cellar dweller with little to show for that.
Chychrun has a team friendly contract and for that honor has been shopped for as long as I can remember.
Now he's not even dressing even though trade deadline is three weeks away.

I get it that Arizona must think the are "close", but I bet Chychrun is pretty fed up. If he is, I wouldn't blame him one bit.

Hell, I'm losing patience and getting bored with the Chychrun speculation and I'm not him or a NHL player/employee.

Get your shit together Armstrong.

If for nothing else he is great in dot.Last while Bruins have been getting beat up there ( eye test)and it's a big factor come playoffs

The need for a left shot that is good on face-offs is real

Have to agree here 100%

Bruins been getting crushed on the dot lately. Which is strange. I don’t remember the last time this team was this bad on the face offs. Maybe Bergeron is a bit hurt.

Max domi is a left hand shot and he is apparently very good this season on the face offs.

That ( injured)crossed my mind have to say.As bme44 Said above the need for a good left shot centre in dot is real .I think Bruins need to really look at that.

they've been missing Nosek at C for a while now
