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

[Gargyn]

Fair question. Does anyone think this team will actually be better next year? I don't. Not without major retooling.

 

[SPV]

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.

I like this idea; but probably keep Paille for a playoff run; he's a good roleplayer and always raised his game; better to have him over a very crappy pick and Caron or Cunningham IMO.

But good use of assets, that third line in the playoffs would give us a line with tremendous speed.

 

[bruinmann77]

if they get rid of the cap issues I am sure we be better.

[DKH]

keep your picks and not one guy going to get us a Cup in 2015 reload and make your moves in the off season

Apparently it was reported this morning that the Habs offered McCarron for Michalek? Holy ****. That can't be right 1. because no way in hell the Yotes turn that down and 2. what an insane offer

I've been saying this all the time that our lineup just isn't good enough anymore, big deals need to happen in the offseason. If we spent all our free cap to re-sign our current ufa's I see us going nowhere in the near future.

Ask me Monday.

If I had any faith in the GM I'd say not only should they be better, but they will. IMO they could and should be able to move Paille, Soup, Soderberg and Seidenberg in the next 5 days. Using the new cap space ad plugging in the kids, I see no reason they couldn't be better next season.

As the only person on HFB who doesn't hate Sterwart, I'd be fine with that

I don't hate him either, but the more pressing issue with this team is on D. The scary part is, even if they do trade for help on that front, it would only solidify the #4 spot, leaving us with a solid 3rd pairing as well.

As much as guys like Bart, Quaider, and Miller have been miscast at various times throughout the year as 2nd pairing guys, our #1,2,3 D are where the real problems seem to be stemming from. Tough situation for sure. Chara/Hamilton/Seids have to be better.

is Vermette patrice bergeron best friend?

thinkin vermette would sign here in the offseason anyway if bergeron can help convince him

 

[DitClapper]

Depends. If we make a hockey trade for a player like Eberle that helps us now, and into the future, I say yes.

I think our core will stick for at least one more season: Bergeron, Lucic, Chara, Marchand, Krejci, and Hamilton.

All other pieces are fair game come offseason: Seidenberg, Soderberg, Eriksson, Smith, Krug, Kelly, etc.

 

[batesy]

Loui & Chara too the Ducks for Fowler Ritchie 4th rounder then swap sods out for a 2nd after that deal for Stewart & sighn bug buff in the summer

use to live in Ottawa and work at a restaurant right by the barn, if anything, completely based on what I use to see, he and Kelly popped over often together for a bite to eat, both, exceptionally decent guys

no clue about Bergeron and Vermette being buddies

 

[22Brad Park]

hahaha. Folks saying trade for this and that.Chiarelli gave away Boychuck for pair of 2nd rd picks while Sekera fetched a 1st plus top prospect.He not gonna do nothing good.

 

[CDJ]

I've definitely read somewhere that Vermette and Bergeron have trained together.

Thanks I needed that.

I think Bergeron and Kelly were best men at Vermette's wedding as well.

 

[CDJ]

I think Bergeron and Kelly were best men at Vermette's wedding as well.

Very interesting.

He'd definitely be comfortable here.

I don't know if I'm in the minority or what, but I've been a fan of his game for years. As long as the price isn't ridiculous for him he would be a good add.

 

[22Brad Park]

Vermette is so over rated not funny.Whats with hype on him here???.Bruins full of players like that now.Boston needs goal scoring and defence.And he brings neither.

 

[ODAAT]

then there`s the familiarity Chia has with him

I like Vermette, I don`t like the price being reported that it would cost to get him in a deep draft year, this team is so much further away from challenging than Vermette, I can think of about 3 areas they have to address to challenge and IMO, I`ve resigned myself to the fact it just isn`t worth it

Stop making your selves crazy if being BFF will get a guy to sign.

It is and will continue to be about the money.

It's always about the money.

Vermette and Bergeron are reportedly very good friends. Also good friend with CK 23 and has a past with Chara.
