Proposal: All Bruins Proposals/Rumors Again - MOD Warning post 911

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

If Nyquist + Dekeyser is close...

You would think Pasta + Krug would get it done.

Thats a spicy meatball, though.

Of course Pasta + Krug would get it done, because that's a huge overpayment.

Bruins need goal scorers. Pasta is one (he has over twice as many goals in about 30 less games). Drouin; 89 games, 6 goals, 34 assists. We need a player like Pastrnak more than we need Drouin, especially not at the expense of Pastrnak. Drouin has a lot of potential; but I don't see where a playmaking winger is a need vs. a goal scoring winger.

If we somehow move Eriksson and end up with Drouin, sure. Why not? Otherwise, price is probably too rich.

I could see how wintersej's comment could be taken out of context. Wintersej's post was in response to mine on page 37 which was talking about Shattenkirk instead of Drouin.

Yeah, should have been more clear, was talking Shattenkirk. I agree that I'd rather have Pasta over Drouin when you take into account age and attitude.

John Ferguson Jr didn't act alone on the Rask deal if you catch my drift

Agree - guy is superb evaluator from what I have observed and heard. He's got the Habs and Leafs association but he's a New Englander in many ways

I may be in minority but he's a really good important part of the Sweeney rat pack that is putting this team on the road to a long run of competitive years

I wonder how many games during the season does JFJ scout games? Is this unusual, is this something we should really sit up and take notice of?

I know the Rask deal was stupid on the leafs part but they thought they were getting a guy who would play right away. But nothing compares to the Seguin trade. May go down in history as one of the worst trades especially if Dallas go on to challenge for cups. Guys it was so obvious Seguin would replace Kecji one day. Bergeron, Seguin and Spooner down the middle.

Jimmy Vessey with a hat trick just in the 3rd period of last nights game. All 3 goals were absolute beutys.

It's kind of surprising there's not much chatter about him considering he's been linked to the Bruins via Boston/Harvard connection.

I would have no issues with him stepping into our top 6 immediately. Perfect player to target and would give the Bruins flexibility to focus solely on the defense after.

Huge fan of Vatanen as well. Ducks are not going to be able to afford him and have replacable defenseman on the way. I think we're good trading partners with them. Fowler rumors in the beginning of the season was strange as well.

Anyone else just see Buff as so not a fit in Julien's system?

Please please be Trouba, he would fix our biggest problems but is he honestly available?
Buff trade would be depressing.

Is there a chance that they are thinking of Lou to Nashville trade?

Signing Vesey and a great SJ pick would make it a great offseason, and Habs fans would love it

Pens are doing weird trades, their blueline is nowhere close to contending and they don't have the cap space/assets to do anything about it.

37! Just like PATRICE! (cue ominous music)



I think he's just counting down to 1000 posts in this thread. Which considering it was rebooted a mere 10 days ago is pretty impressive.

Vesey would instantly become our top prospect. Huge fan of his game. Reminds me of Toews.

You know my connection to the Blues (and we'll keep it between us). I have more Blues fans "bothering" me (not really a bother) on twitter and elsewhere than I do Bruins fans.

As I've said many, many times, Blues will not trade Shattenkirk prior to the draft, if at all. But

I don't know about Boston, but in St Louis, (and here for that matter) the winds have changed and they are coming from the North.

JFJ does scout a lot of games at every level. But IMO, because it's Nashville and Winnipeg, should probably take notice.

Bruins blew that one in the draf tin a big way.

I'm not going to waste any focus on effort, until or unless he becomes a Bruins prospect. It is still an extreme longshot in my opinion.

Interesting. So it'd have to be an offer that would entice STL to move him rather than make one last attempt at a Cup run with that group... My guess would be the Habs could certainly pull it off with a Galchenyuk + offer.

Yes, we know. Winter is Coming.

But beyond Game of Thrones, what's changing in St. Louis?

There is no doubt that Edmonton would have tantalizing bits and pieces. February should be interesting.

I believe Dom when he says Shattenkirk is unlikely to be traded before the draft.

So, I guess we're just in la-la-land ruminating about potential Shattenkirk moves at this point.

But I guess while I'm here (in la-la-land), I may as well say this: I probably wouldn't make that trade, and I love Shattenkirk.

I do disagree with others saying it's a huge "overpayment"; Shattenkirk is a legit #1D. On certain counts, you could argue he's better than St. Louis presumptive #1 in Pietrangelo.

As I've watched this season, I increasingly can easily see Blues doing everything they can to keep Shattenkirk, with Pietrangelo, and literally moving mountains (e.g., Bouwmeester's contract, Lehtera, and many others) before doing so.

Shattenkirk and Pietrangelo is St. Louis' answer to Weber and Josi at Nashville.

While there are some residual bad feelings, it is for the most part a different front office leading the way. Problem is, because of tampering, they can't begin to mend those fences until August 15th.

They could pay the price and trade for him. But why do that without knowing if he'd be willing to sign in Boston?

Many believe the Leafs have the upper hand because they hired Jimmy Sr as a scout. It was actually Jimmy Sr that approached Shanahan through a mutual friend about a position, since he felt that he was in arenas all the time - he may as well get paid for it.

The advantage the Leafs hold however, is they can talk to him via father/son and not have any fear of tampering.

Not saying the Leafs have the upper hand, but I sure don't think the Bruins are near the top.
