I'd give SJ ALL THE THINGS to get pickles in Boston. Doesn't give you a partner for Chara, but is a prime Seidenberg replacement.
Chara C. Miller
Vlasic Seidenberg

Personally, I wouldn't be hitting "F5" repeatedly to get updates on Buff to Boston.
But if that's where everyone wants to lead the conversation then so be it. It just seems to be a debate on whether someone (Buff) would be a fit here or not, and what his role would be in the future, is futile, since I have a better chance of winning Lotto Max.
Burns would be the ideal choice from SJ, but even if they blow it up I don't see him being available.
After him, I wouldn't be interested in any of their forwards, not that none of them are any good (Pavelski would be nice), if Boston is going to try and use young assets and draft picks I'd rather it be for a D-man, preferably a RD.
What about Justin Braun? Nice solid two-way right-shot D-man who would fit into the Top 4 nicely.
Chara - Braun
Krug - McQuaid
Seidenberg - C.Miller
If Brent Burns was ever a Bruin i could probably die on the spot and be happy. But, I dunno, hes got a real young family and hes been West Coast for a long time, wonder if he'd just up sticks and move to Boston of all places too, kinda different weather and all
Would absolutely love it though. and if it were Doughty, you could kill me twice and id still be content never gonna happen
Colorado seems to be going nowhere fast. I can see them selling off Iginla & some other vets & looking to retool. As of now they may be a finalist for Austin Mathews. Wonder if they'd consider moving Erik Johnson? Sweeney can offer a solid package of picks & prospects
1. Jarome Iginla told The Bleacher Report’s Adrian Dater he will not approve any in-season trades for family reasons. He’s got one more year on his contract, then what? Has Iginla, who will turn 39 next July, considered this might be it? “I don’t know,” he said Monday. “I used to listen to guys like Nicklas Lidstrom say, ‘I’m going to take it one year at a time’ and not believe them. ‘They know what they’re going to do,’ I’d say. But now that I’m in their position, I get it. I feel good. But, we’ve got three kids (ages 11, nine and seven). At some point, I'd like to do more with them. Right now, I don't know though.” Iginla added he and his family don’t know yet where their permanent post-career home will be.
Loui Eriksson is specifically mentioned in this article.
Florida is looking for a goal scorer, if it ever came into fruition what would everyone want from them?
The package for me starts with Lawson Crouse.

Would anyone give them that First back knowing what we know now for him ?
Zboril has always felt, to me, like a "well, he is the best D left, so we have to take him" pick. I find Kirk (and others) tepid view of his work ethic and attitude concerning. With Lauzon feeling like a second round steal, and with Krug as a young LHD already (nevermind Morrow), I feel like Zboril is a more expendable high value prospect for this kind of deal

While almost any prospect is indeed expendable in the right deal, do you have a link to Kirk's analysis of Zboril? Everything I've read about him so far is that he is a pretty reliable defenseman who also brings an element of grit to the ice. I'm interested in reading Kirk's dissenting opinion because he's one of the most informed eyes of talent in the business.
The podcast Dom posted in the prospects thread. It was only one sentence, but he did feel the need to bring up the attitude/work ethic and projected him as not a possible #1.
Edit: by no means did I read into what he said as saying Zboril isn't a good prospect.
For Braun? Hell no. For Burns? Probably not.
But I would do Zboril + Boston 1st + Koko for Burns and I think that is a very strong offer that could get it done if SJ decides to go that route (which I doubt, to be honest).

You are hoping that the SJ can net you a better prospect than Zboril, but you can probably get his equal if things don't go your way.
Adding Pasta and Burns to this current roster makes this team a contender right now with a partner for Chara, and gives them a few more seasons to find their next longterm #1D.
