Dom, any sense of how they make the cap work? Is Backes being included in most of these discussions to make the cap work, or are we looking at guys with more value like Heinen & Moore?
If they were gonna lose out on Kreider, Palmieri and Saad I'd hope to see their fallbacks be names like Grandlund, Craig Smith, Rakell, Silfverberg, etc.
but who knows, maybe Nashville's not selling and Anaheim's not selling those guys.
that's quite the dropoff from Saad to Kase
Palmeiri always makes to much sense for a 2 year run~ 2020-2022
his contract runs with Krejci, Rask, Kuraly and expansion
Kreider makes sense long term if the deal is to sign an extension and post expansion 2022-
In short time your second line is
Kreider- Coyle -Bjork
your third line based around
DeBrusk-Studnicka
that’s pretty good
hmmm so maybe Kase could be in addition to one of the big fish.#Depth
Order of targets has changed (not my order)
Kreider
Palmieri
Saad
Kase
could revisit with San Jose (not putting a name to this so as I don't get hounded by Shark fans)
I'm sure there are others. But those are legit targets.
I'm talking about his career to include both the AHL and EmJHL. Heinen has shown that he can produce in the playoffs while Wood has not.“His whole playoff career?” Really? He has one series. That’s it. You want to know how many points Danton Heinen had in his first 5 career playoff games? ZERO. He had a goal in game 7 against Toronto in his 6th game and that was it for his first playoff experience. 1 point in 9 games. I think Heinen is a slightly better player, but wood might be a better fit for this team. Either way, calling one 5 game series a career is just silly.
Same deal as I said before, I was talking about his whole career. Heinen has a least shown he can make an impact in the playoffs at different levels. As for the first part Heinen has more points, more assist, more power play points, goals, and assists, takes a lot less penalties, and is better defensively.Miles wood is only better than Heinen at goal scoring, even strength goal scoring, speed, drawing penalties, hitting and crashing the net. Other than that, you're right. And yes Heinen is the better playoff performer, getting 3 goals in his 33 games over Wood's 0 in 5.
I would still take Domi over Kovy and I don't like Domi.Looks like the same player only surrounded by a team not able to keep puck possession in the offensive zone. Domi and him just don't do anything when he was moved to his line. Domi has like 1 goal in the year 2020
is it sunday yet? if i recall correctly, the nash deal went down on sunday morning before
the deadline. good that they're gonna fill that hole, just hope they get the right guy and
don't get caved in on the acquisition cost.

Does not have to be a 4th round pick in this year's draft.We don’t have a fourth round pick. It resides in New Jersey thanks to Marcus Johansson.
Any trade will have the equivalent of a sales taxis it sunday yet? if i recall correctly, the nash deal went down on sunday morning before

Agree Gryz is worth more than Trocheck who Florida fans are ready to give away for free.I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who doesn't think Grz is a top four defenseman is out to f*cking lunch. In a lot of ways, he is the protoypical modern defensive defenseman. Excellent in transition, extremely mobile, has a tremendous defensive impact because he able to move the puck out of danger and keep it in the other zone. So he might not be the best "defensively" in the old school sense of blocking shots and moving guys from the crease -- because he doesn't have to. He can strip the puck and move it to where it should be. He's been criminally underrated by this fanbase because of their fetishization of size and toughness and it would be a shame to lose him but I bet he has a pretty good perceived value around the league.
He will age wellSeeing lots of interest on here for Kreider, obvious #1 choice..as a rental..going to be real expensive by eating up a number of prospects..But if the hope (goal) is to get an extension signed for the longer term, isn't he going to be looking 6-7 years for big $$ on this contract as he is 2 months short of 29..Will that become a "bad" contract in 3-5 years? Or is he that good that we'll get a piece for the core for next 3-5 that brings further swings at the Cup?
With the crazy prices average d men are getting I would not be shocked at all to see Moore go for a 2nd.None of those pieces have much value. Cehlarik already cleared waivers, any team coulda had him for free. Zboril will be in that boat next season. Heinen is a meh 3rd liner and Moore is a bottom pairing D-man with an almost $3M cap hit but maybe a contender gets desperate and gives up a 3rd or 4th for him
Looking at that list you have to expect them to be able to land one of them, top3 bring easy top 6 additions to this team.
Kase should be a secondary add
No quality insider post like they day after day throughout the season.
He will age well
a beast
not a lot of miles
Nope Studnicka is not going anywhere, I might be inclined to give up Frederic maybe instead and another smaller piece like Cehlarik as a throw in.I’m sure it’s been brought up quite a bit, but would Bruins fans do Palmieri for Backes + Studnicka + 1st?
Curious to see if Bruins fans have any interest in something in that ballpark. Devils would probably prefer an equivalent defender if possible.
