Post-Game Talk: 6/22 - 2019 NHL Draft Day II - 1PM ET - NHL Network. SN, TVAS

Flyers trade up to take Brink

 

[Gordoff]

Why help TB? He has a difficult cap hit for TB.

Partially because it screws the Bruins?

 

[Gee Wally]

Just put in request to make this thread live

 

[BruinDust]

They have $14m to sign 6 players (they have 16 signed), including Marner, KK, Johnsson. Marner will get around $10m and $3m for KK.

They still don’t have enough space and their D sucks.

My guess is Zaitsev is the next one gone. He won't get much of a return, but they can move him.

I agree their D stinks as it's constructed. But all this talk of poaching their mid-level RFA's like Kapanen and Johansson was a load of you-know-what the entire time.

 

[Estlin]

With each pick, the odds of Boston getting into the second round become less likely.

 

[JCRO]

That Kaliyev kid is so unfortunate looking.

There I said it.

 

[Montecristo]

Heinen for a 2nd do it Sweeney!

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Heinen for a 2nd do it Sweeney!

Or keep the proven young NHL player and trade Cehlarik, Zboril, Miller.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Heinen for a 2nd do it Sweeney!

Why?

Do we really think Jayden Struble is going to be that big of a key to the 2024 Bruins when he breaks in?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Canes take Russian goaltender at 36
Carolina trades 37 to Ott for 44 & 83

nice

 

[BruinDust]

Sens take a 6'8 goaltender.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

wow, two high 2nd round Goalies go back to back

 

[GloryDaze4877]

The problem is that they aren’t going to be able to add a Top 4 D replacement for Zaitsev for the same salary he has.

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Heinen for a 2nd do it Sweeney!

The odds of getting a Heinen quality player in mid to late 2nd round is what, 25%?

 

[Estlin]

Edmonton lucks out getting Lavoie. Bad luck for Lavoie, however.

 

[missingchicklet]

f***! Lavoie and Brink both gone. Was hoping DS would trade for a second round pick and get one of those guys.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Oilers get Lavoie

Poor Lavoie.....

Issues are consitency and work ethic. Not the best team to have those issues draft you.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Good pick for VAN.

Too bad.

 

[DKH]

What the heck happened to My guys Vlasic & Robertson

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Canucks get Zoolander

er Hoglander

 

[Fenian24]

Grewe still there

 

[DKH]

Oilers get Lavoie

Poor Lavoie.....

Issues are consitency and work ethic. Not the best team to have those issues draft you.

May be a blessing

Gets humbled
Gets Draisaitl or McDavid

 

[missingchicklet]

This round is stacked. Still some good talent left after the 40th pick.

 

[BruinDust]

The problem is that they aren’t going to be able to add a Top 4 D replacement for Zaitsev for the same salary he has.

I mean you can debate their strategy of how to build a successful team all day long. It's too top-heavy for my liking. If/when Marner is signed, lots of money commited to right-shooting wingers and centers, not much invested in LWers and D.

But the cap problems are only problems when you have expensive contracts on under-performing players that you can't move when needed. I've said from the start the cap problems in TO were VASTLY overrated. The guys they want to keep long-term, they will. The issue may be that they can't add or replace what they have subtracted.

In TO's case, your looking at a loss of Marleau, Gardiner, Hainsey, and possibly Zaitsev. Not a huge loss when you consider every team loses a player or two every off-season.

I wanted hoglander
