Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020

[RussellmaniaKW]

Because he wants to win the cup rather than go to a bottom feeder.

a Calder Cup?

 

[Johnny4778]

Because it's very likely his new club would also put him in the AHL..?

Maybe but at 50% retained they may not.

 

[CDJ]

Maybe but at 50% retained they may not.

I don’t think him making less money makes him more of an nhl player, he’s just not built for the game anymore

 

[DiggityDog]

Could someone be a lamb and explain the obsession with Miles Wood?

a Calder Cup?

Do not be surprised if he plays in Boston again this season is all I'm saying.

He has size and speed and I think some bruins fans think he combines that with a serious physical game. However, he hits less than guys like Kuraly and Nordstrom. He will fight if needed. He scored 19 goals a few seasons ago and is on pace for 12 this year.

I don't think he's an upgrade on anyone in the bruins lineup and carries a 2.75M cap hit. I'd pass without hesitation. He's not what some think he is..... Kind of like Josh Anderson.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I'm really sick of people looking at hits numbers and drawing literally any conclusions about a player from them. Nevermind that it's often wildly inaccurate, but it only tells you quantity and nothing about quality.

not saying I disagree about Wood (I honestly don't see him enough to say), but saying he "hits less than Kuraly" is irrelevant. in the 2010/2011 season for example, Boychuk had 2 fewer hits than Greg Campbell (in less games, true, but Campbell had ~2 more hits per 60). The point is we all know which of these 2 guys was a more ferocious, impactful hitter but you'd never know it from looking at the hits column.

No one wants the Bruins to trade for Miles Wood more than Devils fans.

Really? He’s hated among Devils’ fans?

I sincerely doubt that.

Sometimes there are just players that get latched onto around here. I guess he sort of is a Diet Josh Anderson.

Well quit doubting it and talk to Devils fans. They can't stand him.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Trading for Miles Wood is trading for another Sean Kuraly, Joakim Nordstrom, Chris Wagner. If you want depth, look for players about 1.5M cheaper at the deadline. Get this "wE nEeD bIg fIgHtEr" out of your brains. What we need is a 2nd line winger who can put the f***ing puck into the net.

If Josh Anderson was a Bud Light, Miles Wood is a Natty Light.... If we're comparing the two.

Reading through some comments about Wood, he seems like a whipping boy. Not a lot of positive things said about the player.

 

[Oates2Neely]

With Lauzon & Vaakaneinen on the cusp, would it makes sense to flip Gryzlek for a right side dman? Someone to play behind Carlo. Miller Clifton & Moore (on his off side) leave a lot to be desired.

 

[Saxon Eric]

He's Zima
Big splash, no staying power

What they need is Colt45. Someone who works every time

 

[The don godfather]

I'd package danton grez and 1st round pick for kreider 50% and lias. I think that's a fair deal for both sides. We can replace grez with vak or lauzon they both ready to be full time. If not get a ron hainsey for a 5th round pick as a security blanket.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Rakell and Gudbranson. Fills 2 holes. Top-6 RW and physical right shot dman (Miller replacement). Both signed one more year at reasonable cap hits.

Have to get creative and move out some cap. Miller/ Moore?

1st + Zboril + Senyshyn? Whom else?

Current conspiracy theory is those wanting Wood are actually big Heinen fans and are hoping bringing Wood over here will take the heat off Heinen and put it on Wood.

It is most certainly relevant as it relates to Wood. 2017-18 Miles Wood was an intriguing player and some hoped he was trending towards something unique. However 2019-20 Wood is not an impact player over 60 mins of ice. He is a 4th liner for NJD...and some devils fans want him out of the line-up entirely.

Sometimes stats tell a story...

Rakell is their guy once Getzlaf is gone. It would cost too much.

Similar production to about 5 forwards already on the team but tougher and hits people.

 

[DiggityDog]

Perhaps the irony of my statement wasn’t clear. I’m aware of who Wood is, I just don’t get the obsession. I’ve seen him play quite a few times and he’s a pretty mediocre player. Honestly if you are looking for what he brings just call up Frederic.

Personally, I don’t like relying on rookies in any role in the playoffs.

Even the ultra talented ones often struggle.
