when looking at upcoming RFA's I may take a run at Brayden Point or Mitch Marner if nothing but to screw up the payroll for Division opponents, however I think most teams will match mostly any offer. The one exception may be Sebastian Aho, the owner in Carolina is notoriously cheap and he may feel an offer of $8m AAV we'll say is too much and walk away, I think he would be a great fit for the Bruins.

There is zero chance the Canes don’t match any offer on Aho. Dundon is in love with the guy. I doubt it would ever even get to that point anyway, but it’s a pipe dream thinking a team is going to get Aho on an offer sheet, particularly in the $8m range.

Risk blowing our CAP and giving up AT LEAST 2 firsts, a second and a third to our division rivals......

Cuz I need them to...I'm worried about Fenian

Can we make this into a 3-way trade somehow and get Clutterbuck and Johnston back in it as well?

Anderson -- Jenner -- Clutterbuck
Johnston -- Kuraly -- Wagner


You'd have to worry about Fenian for other reason with this kind of lineup :naughty:

Mojo is a pure rental. Full stop. They have kids that need to get a shot to try to break in with Coyle baby sitting them and they have cap concerns with all these RFAs.

Now can we all agree to just not come to this thread until 2 minutes after the Bruins season ends?

I'm working on something that I've wanted to do for a long time. I was hoping I'd have a job by now and somebody would *pay* me to do this, but alas, it wasn't in the cards. I've put a lot of work into this already, and I just want to verify some of my thinking by asking team boards.

If you wouldn't mind, I could use your help. For the purposes of this exercise, please consider all the players *currently* on your team, including on IR. Don't consider top picks or hot prospects in Europe or the AHL, unless they have considerable time in the NHL (around 30 games or so?) and have established a fairly tight range of value. I also don't care if a player is quote-unquote untouchable or not. Gretzky got traded, blah, blah, blah.

Also for the purposes of this thingy, everything counts. Age counts, talent counts, contract counts.

My question is this: if you were the GM of *another* team and you could trade for any player on *your* team, who would you trade for? Who are the top handful (please don't go past 8 or so) in trade value? So at the end of the day, if you look at your list, you should be able to say, "As a fan of this team, I'd hate to trade the guy at No. 3, but I'd hate to trade the guy at No. 2 more, and I'd hate to trade the guy at No. 2, but I'd hate to trade the guy at No. 1 the most."

I've taken a shot at answering below, including tiers, and age, salary, contract length. Please let me know where I'm wrong. Thanks!

1. David Pastrnak, 22, $6.66m, 2023

2. Brad Marchand, 30, $6.125m, 2025
3. Patrice Bergeron, 33, $6.875m, 2022
4. Charlie McAvoy, 21, $917k, 2019

5. Torey Krug, 27, $5.25m, 2020
6. Jake DeBrusk, 22, $863k, 2020
7. Danton Heinen, 23, $873k, 2019
8. Matt Grzelcyk, 25, $1.4m, 2020

Carolina’s owner is cheap, didn’t he just spend 250 million on a football league?

Carlo should be there in the bottom four , Carlo and DeBrusk after that the final two spots are debatable

I know someone who is a scout for an NHL team and he told me the worst owner in the league is the guy in Carolina, said that he told one scout he made too much money as a scout and made him assistant coach, moved Brind'amour up to head coach with little to no pay raise.

So out of potential right wings to target this summer, who would be a good fit for Krejci’s line? Kessel is said to be available. He doesn’t bring a heavy game but he always elevates his game in the playoffs. It would be interesting to see him with Krejci.

Aho.. ok now your talking.. make the offer... day after... lol matched. But we can screw with their cap a little. It don’t matter what the offer sheet is the Canes match it.

I was wondering what you all think about trading for Josh in the off season to play with Krejci and DeBrusk next year? What kind of package could we put together that will entice CBJ in to trading Josh?

Your thoughts?

only trades I make are ones to manage the cap/or make bold moves for the future.

I could see Jaroslav halak being a key trade chip after his fantastic bounce back season with us. lets fact it even guys like khubodin get pretty decent results behind our top checking team. between our kid goalies and if we bring in anyone with a pulse we can manage with a cheaper backup goalie. if someone like Edmonton needs a playoff goalie there could be a deal to be made

other than halak… we are paying too much for our 7th/8th depth dmen. I think we keep one... but the other one has to go. cant afford 5 mill on 2 dmen that dont play when everyone is healthy

as for backes… my gut says hes easier and easier and easier to trade the longer and longer and longer we wait. I dont see him going anywhere until we absolutely are in dire need of the cap room.

im not sure we are in all that much need to deal off any of the kids either. I think Heinen will eventually price himself off the team but I dont see it happening this year. Bjork has made the team 2 years out of camp... I expect he will have another great camp and win another chance to stay healthy. its been bad luck that derailed him the last 2 years.

we really only have at most 2 spots in the top 9 that arent nailed down... I dont see it making any sense at all to pay Johansson on a 5 year deal. even if someone might argue that we need him next year, we wont be wanting him after that.

I think they want federic to get some chance... I suspect he will get a chance at camp... his size and the fact he plays center gives him a couple edges to win a spot

and then senshyn pretty much needs to see some time in the nhl next year or he will officially bust

im thinking they like a healthy debrusk as a 30 goal scorer that is going to improve... they probably figure he will give us a decent second line with krejci... pastrnak will be on either top line or second line...

if Bjork makes the team either him or Heinen end up rounding out the top 6... the other becomes part of the third line where we still have coyle as the anchor

if im right about federic having his path greased... a third line with coyle/Heinen doing the heavy lifting for federic is a good gamble... kuhlman waiting in reserve to step up if federic fails

we have such a good core... and so few question marks... and each question mark has multiple options

with limited cap room we will be filling our holes with kids/not import trades

Why not Kessel? Fits the shortterm window with Chara/Bergeron/Krejci
Gives you point per game production, good on the PP and Krejci finally has a shooter
Theoretically you would only have to move Backes as Kessel has a 6.8m cap hit, but Krug would be probably be gone as well in such a scenario...
