Speculation: All Bruins trade proposals/rumors XXIII: Almost 9:35

[RustyBruins72]

Maybe I'm naïve, but based on how the season went, how he fit well, was successful, etc.. I think he would have taken a discount to stay. If I recall correctly, Bruins did not want to give him 3 years, which ended up being the sticking point since he wanted to "settle" somewhere.

IIRC the bruins gave him an incentive contract in 2013. So a base salary and incentives on games played, goals, etc. I don't know how much that ended up being (I miss capgeek) but I think it was close to $5 million total.

Even he takes a discount on the $16 offered by Colorado of say $3 million, that's $13 million over 2 or 3 years. That's a pretty big stretch.

 

[bruinmann77]

the bottom line is there and out there we can get that can get us a cup in 2015?

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Can some other team please trade for Stewart already? Don't want him.

You know things are bleak when Michael ****ing Ryder is the answer to our prayers

Oof

Oof

Bringing Ryder in won't make a difference against he habs, this is 2015. This team is nowhere near the team this was few years ago, too many lost players and 2 most important D's past their prime.

And Seidenberg has had plenty of time to find his game and even before he's injury he wasn't the same guy, Chara seems to be our only hope, we have to get him in shape.

 

[Boston BROin]

I want Ben Lovejoy on this team. Make it happen Chia!

Trade Yeti for a 1st+prospect
Get Stewart for a 2015 3rd
Deal Paille and Campbell for anything.

Until Krejci comes back:

March-Bergy-Loui
Lucic-Spooner-Stewart
Smith-Kelly-Pasta
Caron-CC-Ferlin

Playoffs:

Lucic-Krejci-Stewart
March-Bergy-Loui
Smith-Spooner-Pasta
Kelly-CC-Ferlin

Than dangle the 1st you got in the Yeti trade at the draft to get a Young top-6 W.

 

[Shaun]

antoine vermette and chris kelly are the same player except kelly is 2 years older. if vermette gets a 1st + they should dangle kelly.

 

[Gargyn]

Trade Yeti for a 1st+prospect
Get Ryder for a 2016 5th
Get Stewart for a 2015 3rd
Deal Paille and Campbell for anything.

Until Krejci comes back:

March-Bergy-Pasta
Lucic-Spooner-Stweart
Smith-Kelly-Ryder
Caron-CC-Ferlin

Playoffs:

Lucic-Krejci-Stewart
March-Bergy-Pasta
Smith-Spooner-Ryder
Kelly-CC-Ferlin

Than dangle the 1st you got in the Yeti trade at the draft to get a Young top-6 W.

With Eriksson the healthy scratch.

 

[Gargyn]

Vermette has more skill in his left nut than Kelly has in his entire body. Vermette will get a 1st and will really help someone.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

With Eriksson the healthy scratch.

Only until game #2...

Save the 5th, and play Eriksson instead.

So glad they created the other thread for just rumors...

2 of the 4 pages have zero rumors except more thoughts identical to this one except for the one I posted yesterday...

...just merge it back when the new thread opens.

Chris Kelly has reached 20 goals once in his entire career. In fact, he's had more than 15 goals only once.

Antoine Vermette has scored at least 20 goals in 4 different seasons, at least 19 in 6. They are not at all the same exact player. Vermette is considerably better.

Vermette is definitely more skilled and someone will give up a 1st and he will likely help that team. But that team can't be the Bruins, it just can't, they can't be trading that pick for a guy like Vermette.

Imagine trading Pastrnak for Vermette? OUCH.

Oh agreed. Bruins can't trade their first.

The list of players on the market, I wouldn't give a 1st for anyone. Even less when that 1st can drop in the McDavid Sweepstake.

"Antoine Vermette would be the most logical target for the Bruins. If the Bruins acquire him and are interested in re-signing him, they could look at trade pending UFA Carl Soderberg. They could look at moving a salaried player or two and then bring in players like Vermete and Keith Yandle. Moving core players like Milan Lucic, Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg wouldn’t enter trade talk until the summer if they decide to go down that route."

How is Vermette the most logical, we can't afford him, we have soda who is younger/cheaper, and WE can't lose our 1st.

 

[Gargyn]

That's why anyone expecting much of an improvement from this team and anything in the playoffs is being unrealistic.

 

[DKH]

We trade a first for Vermette I'm going to laugh out loud knowing we are headed for the bottom of the division sooner than you think

 

[Stone Clode]

Bazinga.

And your freaking avatar always makes me lose it.

And yeah, trading a 1st for Antoine Vermette is NOT what this team needs at all.

It has been rumored Vermette expects $5-6 million in the open market, so there's slim-to-no chance he re-signs here if acquired. If Arizona is getting a 1st rounder, it's from a team where Vermette puts them over the top or someone with significant cap space.
