Boston Bruins All Bruins Trade Proposals: Off-Season

[BruinsFanSince94]

I want Kreider. Local kid (joking), big, fast, drives to the net. Could Krug for Kreider be a base for something?

Not sure why the Rangers would want Krug. They're rebuilding, and Krug doesn't make any sense for a rebuilding club.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Yeah, you're not getting Laine for Vaakanainen/Lauzon/Zboril/Andersson. McAvoy is probably the start/finish.

Rangers got their guy for basically Zboril and a first,strike now before poor Winnipeg gets a clue

 

[Saxon Eric]

If GM's are this desperate we may get a 2nd rounder plus other goodies for K Miller

No trades I want to replay game 7

I second that.Lol

Kreider available ?

Odd

There is another alternative that hasn’t been discussed, or I haven’t seen discussed. It may cost less in terms of assets, but it’ll cost nonetheless. If the Bruins can somehow find a team willing to take another asset in order to acquire Backes (with retained salary) and then buy him out, it may be the most beneficial way in terms of cap savings.

I guess so. He's only 28, though, and probably has like 6-7 years of top-notch offense left in him.

I have no idea if he's available. I just remember talk about him last year.

Usually I "get" your posts, but not this time.

Darren Dreger tweeted he’s available an hour ago

I find it odd he’s on the block

Do the bruins have enough of high end prospects to get Kreider without offering Vak. Or I’m I on drugs for even thinking about it. I thought during the TDL when the B’s “thinking big” besides Stone... Kreider’s name came up .. McAvoy was what they wanted..... talks died . Lol

I didn't know that. I just thought you were being cryptic, as seems to be your way haha.

I still think it's a fair starting point for a deal. We need to complete that top 6. I guess it means someone would have to play their off wing but that seems like a fair gamble to take since options are likely limited. Granted, I think it's a fair basis from a Boston POV, cause I'm unsure what the Rangers really need.

Vaakanainen doesn't sound bad, either. Obviously McAvoy is off the table in a Kreider deal.

I might be phrasing this wrong: would it be more beneficial to find another team w a player going to arbitration so they have two buyout windows where the signing bonus could be paid by Boston? A possibility to change retention and thus the cap hits?

This was great and educational. Hope to catch up soon, been awhile.

McGuire thinks the Rangers are going to offersheet Marner.

Yeas it would Travis. But we don't know those teams yet and the limited trade clause might be a sticking point.

 

[Jaguar God]

Based on the Trouba trade....keeping Krug is better than getting garbage.

 

[The don godfather]

Need to dump salary like backes and get Matt duchene. Need a big name ticket now to make a splash. More firepower. That's what killed us in game 7.

Kreider is overrated. He is a very good player but he is not a game breaker - he has a lot of talent but the hockey IQ isn't there. He's worth a low first and a B-C prospect and that's all IMO. He only has a year left until UFA.

All that being said I think he'd be wonderful with Krejci. I absolutely call and he'd probably resign being that's he's from the area. Not sure about $$$ though. But if the Rangers are asking for the moon (and considering they've just fleeced the Jets twice they might be) you pass.

More likely, the return will be along the lines of what Boston received from NYR for McQuaid.

glad Im not alone on Kreider. the guy is an overhyped Coyle.

Most likely, I hold Mcquaid in higher regard but not a lot of decent D available in UFA,GM'S do dumb things July 1

True. If Chevy in Winnipeg can't sign Myers to an extension, after having traded Trouba, he may bite on acquiring Miller to shore up the Jets' RHD. Maybe Roslovic for Miller and Koppanen, haha.

 

[Alicat]

At least our players want to stay here unlike the Celtics.

Kreider feels to me more like a Coyle guy, very nice complimentary piece but not a guy you develop your overall game around

He’d fit quite nicely as a complement to Coyle on the third line and #2 power play.
