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

[Bmessy]

I'd rather a monster deal for Chychrun or Meier than what's been rumored for Gavrikov.

What roster players could be dealt without killing the locker room? Seems like playing with fire cause that locker room is great

I think this drags out up to the TD.

Craig Smith. They have been trying to move smith all year. I highly doubt that Craig Smith being traded will kill the locker room.

Well if the rumor is true, ARZ wants:

DeBrusk or Swayman
Lysell or Lohrei
2023 1st
2024 3rd

You really want to pay that price for a guy that has struggled to stay healthy his entire career?

Probably right, just a shame that he's not the player he was. A well liked hard working bottom six 20 goal scorer is hard to find.

If Gavrikov is akin to Seidenberg then I pay this price all day and would have done some of the most costly versions. I know there are a lot of doubters and I have not seen him enough, but we could use a Seidenberg type.

DeBrusk and Swayman ask is obscene

Most of us assumed the 3rd year of his deal wouldn't be ideal. It is sad though to see just how quickly it went downhill for him.

I don’t know a lot about Gavrikov outside of numbers and chatter. But I did a YouTube search for him and the first hit was him blocking four shots on a PK. That’s a guy that I’d be happy to go to battle with in the playoffs.

 

[ON3M4N]

And that's why Chychrun is still part of the Yotes despite being on the trade market for 2yrs

I have nothing new for a new thread.

I wait for your posts , but this is less informative than most, but thanks for the update

U can’t give up roster players. I’d do the trade with out key roster players.

You're right, you can't....that's why when it comes to people still wanting Chychrun I think:

 

[Ace0813]

I'd painfully offer the following for Chychrun. Bail some contracts out for us, and we will play ball.

Craig Smith
Mike Reilly
Jakob Lauko
2023 1st
2024 1st
2023 3rd
Mason Lohrei

He isn’t seidenberg. I’m not even sure how this became a comparison. He more of a Carlo than anything. Leaf fans seem to love him. Maybe he a leaf killer :p

I doubt ownership let’s them take smith and reilly.

I'd trade DeBrusk in a deal for Meier, but def wouldn't for Chychrun. Would be creating a hole when don't really need to. I thought I saw something like 2 firsts and a top prospect for Chychrun.
Is this a fluke injury or a guy who is brittle? Pretty strange injury. Seems like he got hurt even before contact, which isn't the best. Guy might be too jacked for his own body.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

I think any addition to defense you waive Zboril

More likely trade, someone will give up at least a low pick. But yes if you trade for Gav he becomes 8 or 9, and if you trade for Schenn as well then he is down to #9

 

[KnightofBoston]

I know in the past, they have gotten injured on defense. Most of that was Clodes and to some extent Cassidy’s system, of the defense, taking a hit to protect the puck. There is no D that took the pounding like the Bruins’ defense. It was horrible. This year, the system is protecting them. They are not told to take the hit but to drive the play. Carlo hasn’t faced the glass in a long time. I don’t cringe as much as before. I think that’s a big factor. Give me a rugged player on both Frw and D. I still don’t think they need to break the bank for that.

I agree with this, they’ve become the hammer not the nail in far more situations. It’s why you haven’t seen defensemen dropping like flies like they have in past years. Hell even the forwards have been pretty healthy this year

 

[CellyHard]

If the rumored ask for Gavrikov is a 1st + prospect/3rd round pick, how are they possibly getting Barbashev?

Barbashev is easily worth a 2nd +

The 2024 1st should be off limits for a player like him, including Lohrei and Lysell. I'm not sure if they should really part with any of their center prospects but you have to give to get.

 

[neelynugs]

dom is the only one who seems to have a clue about what's going on. it's fun to watch these other writers/rumor mongers
attempt to sort it all out.

I thought you were laughing at my post. Lmao! Carry on……

No need to do this ... If it ain't broken no need to fix it.

Typically, only someone with the mentality of a pretentious bully would laugh at a post like yours without adding anything to the discussion

The laugh emoji unless done specifically in reference to an intentional joke, has only and will only ever be used as a tool to be mean

 

[HustleB]

I have seen others who agree with you as well. The opinions on who Gavrikov is seem to range from Carlo to Seidenberg. That is a bit hard for me to translate without more personal context (viewing experience, I've seen him but never focused on him specifically).

But two posters who claimed to watch him often, stated he was one of the strongest players they had seen and that he seemed to enjoy the physical aspect of the game. I don't have the background to know. I will learn more when we acquire the players we acquire, and I will form most of my opinion after they have played in games for the Bruins.

For refereence: I reviewed some of yesterday's posts. I found @LouJersey say this;

I thought at least a couple people concurred with similar descriptions. I did not find them but I also didn't reread 30 pages.
