All Bruins trade proposals/rumors: XXXVI: How can this team be fixed? ‎

[Caper Bruins fan]

This is more than likely where the "shipping out Rask" rumors are coming from.
Unless we are packaging Jones in another deal. We have a goalie overload. McIntyre, Subban, Smith, Jones, Tuukka. Something's got to give.

How good a goalie is Jones ? Could he actually challenge Rask for the no.1 ?

Not even slightly

 

[Count Popula]

Not that they can really afford any, but what would a free agent even want to come to Boston after today's debacle?

I mean, him and Quick have won the Jennings a time or two, so he can't be that bad.

I just don't see how he would want to be a backup here.

His career numbers are-

16-11-2 with a 1.99 GAA and .923% SV

He's a very good backup and could be a serviceable starter for some NHL teams in his career but he is not an elite top 5 goalie like Tuukka

I think you are right . First Iginla and Boychuck subtracted with no proven additions ,then Lucic and Hamilton ?? We will be lucky to make the playoffs (and probably won't ) with this roster .

It's crazy how much talent we've lost and our cap situation has barely improved! It's like a bad case of termites eating away at the cap space!

 

[DitClapper]

Probably talking entirely out of my ass here, but I wonder what the asking price on Byfuglien is. Need a guy to play with Chara.

 

[ashnathan]

Anaheim look to be going after Kessel/Phaneuf, thry are dumping salary, now is the time to ask about Silfverberg.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Only McQuaid or Kelly type of players.

Apparently Winnipeg is debating on trading him but seem to want to let him play out this year (what we should have done to Lucic)

That guy is Trotman, and I'm not joking unfortunately.

Kelly 3m
McQuaid 2.75m
Smith 3.45m

Would this Bruins team be that much worse with the above 3 players gone? 9.25m. Ouch

Seguin
Hamilton
Boychuk
Iginla
Lucic

All gone for cap space.. where is this cap space?

 

[BB88]

We should have gotten Hagelin, he was so cheap to get.

 

[ChargersRookie]

Kelly 3m
McQuaid 2.75m
Smith 3.45m

Guys keep deserving more money.

Is Belesky a target?

So with no more moves, I would think this is the Bruins roster:

https://www.hockeyscap.com/armchair-gm/team/7619

4.5 million(ish) in free cap post Savard LTIR

Dump Kelly and move for Sharp? Not sure if I am a fan of going for Sharp in-particular, but the point is that if they move Kelly there is enough money to add a real player that can score.

Kelly will stay and be will be maxed once again, I watched a lot of Hawks games, every playoff game and Sharp is not that great anymore, maybe 40 point guy if we get lucky.

But no matter how badly they'll ... this offseason we should have atleast 10M cap space next offseason thanks to kelly+lucic+cap going up.

 

[Trap Jesus]

According to this thread, Dreger reported the Bruins could have gone with an offer for Hamilton that included their 2016 1st. Next year's top 3 at least looks really good once again with Matthews, Chychrun and Puljujarvi.

Didn't see anything on Dreger's twitter though.

Did hear this: Bruins have at least shown some interest, however small, in Matt Beleskey. Told they're "somewhat" interested.


Our saviour

 

[BadBruins]

Kelly 3m
McQuaid 2.75m
Smith 3.45m

Aren't they also carrying Lucic's $2.75 Million to play for the Kings this year?

Yeah, I'm not a huge Sharp guy either, BUT, was playing with lesser line mates last year and still produced on the power play with good line mates. That 6 or whatever regular season even strength goal number is scary, though. If you can get him for little as a pure dump, you have to at least consider it, but I'd rather be kicking tires elsewhere. Bruins have a lot of chips now.

Yeah. No.

 

[CDJ]

Don't want Beleskey.

 

[PlayMakers]

Again, they now need...

A 1st line LW
A 1st line RW
A #1 or 2 Dman (depending on what you think of Chara)
A #3 Dman

The only cap space they have is to somehow finagle their call-ups and demotions to get access to as much of Savard's LTI money as possible.

They don't have any extra picks to deal for players.

So the only way to "fix" what they have is to pull off some shrewd deals. They could move guys like Kelly, Eriksson and Smith for less expensive filler, but even that is only going to free up enough cap to address one of the needs listed above.

Or they could continue to blow things up.

 

[PlayoffBeard365]

Nope.Not at 5 mill.

 

[EverettMike]

Fire SweeNeely.

Only step they can take.
