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

[KrejciMVP]

Hmm? Im not talking about the canucks.



Right but that doesn't change the fact that if we did it they'd be going after every one of our young guys until they got one or it hurt our cap badly.

if they did it, would you offer Galchenyuk Hamilton money? 5.75 a year for 6 year?

In a heartbeat, I'm really high on Galch. Sucks he's a Hab. He's been so misused by them.

 

[Gee Wally]

Would love to see that but it's unlikely to happen ?

Id ratchet it up to impossible over improbable.

We dont have a natural second next year.

 

[kdog82]

Nashville and Minnesota would be the two teams I'd deal with. Both have plenty of dmen.

I'd love either Josi or Ekholm from Nashville and wouldn't mind Scandella from Minnesota.

Eriksson + SJ 1st + B Prospect (Heinen) for Josi

Eriksson for Ekholm

Eriksson for Scandella

Josi is probably one of the most untouchable players in the league. Future Norris winner IMO and Laviolette absolutely loves him.

Might as well post trade proposals for Crosby or Doughty while you're at it.

 

[Dizzay]

Has anyone heard what the story was with Hayes and Connolly?

Rumor has it that Hayes will be signed some time this week. Regarding Connolly, nothing has been said.

It honestly wouldn't shock me if NSH was more inclined to trade Weber and/or Jones before Josi.

 

[Sheppy]

I agree, I actually see Weber/Jones going before Josi.

 

[Banded Peak]

Even if Josi were available the cost would be obscene.

Think two firsts, Pasta, Spooner and one of our first round guys from this year. To start.

For Josi and some minor league throw in.

Not worth it.

This is insanity.

Why do we overvalue assets on other clubs so much? I can't remember the last player that was traded for this kind of return. Ever.

 

[Bridges31]

Connolly signs a 1 year deal worth 1.025

Truth. Ran into him at Tampa airport few weeks back he was gushing over Josi. "Future Norris winner". He made it seem like the Organization is extremely high on Josi & Jones.

I'd take a shot at Weber. Can fit his cap in short term, & easily once Chara's contract expires. With all these picks/ assets Sweeney has, it's something he could take an honest swing at.

 

[Absurdity]

 

[SPV]

So the roster is "set" for now. With almost 6 million left over in cap space with Kelly still on the books. I'd like to see upgrades on the defense still; but I think that Sweeney will address that, just curious as to how...

Eriksson-Krejci-Hayes
Marchand-Bergeron-Connolly
Beleskey-Spooner-Pastranak
Rinaldo-Kelly-Talbot

Chara-C.Miller
Morrow-Seidenberg
Krug-McQuaid

Rask
Smith


Not sure I'd think of that as a playoff team at this point. I need to see a better defense and up front is a lot of questions too.

because teams don't trade guys like Josi unless the player wants out.

Josi was 5th in Norris voting this year btw.

Franson and Oduya are still out there. I believe we have a little over 5 million left in cap space so who knows.

 

[CashMash]

Maybe, but I feel like we shouldn't overspend either. Without getting rid of Kelly, I don't want to take up more of the room we now have when we finally have space.

 

[SPV]

with a full roster and cap space; we could definitely take on salary to fix the defense.

Guys that seem to fit that criteria;

Chicago-Seabrook,
Carolina-Wisniewski,
St. Louis-Bouwmeester,
Toronto-Phaneuf.
Winnipeg-Byfuglien

We might have to send Kelly the other way for a couple of them. And I'm not sure outside of Seabrook I necessarily like any of those choices that much.

Might be better off looking for a cheaper option on a short deal via free agency and letting the kids come to camp ready to push for a spot. That makes me nervous though.

 

[Dizzay]

Part of me thought DS would potentially use Connolly to acquire a dman, but now that he's been signed(as well as Hayes), something's gotta give.

Marshy-Bergy-Hayes
Beleskey-Krejci-Connolly
Eriksson-Spooner-Pasta
Talbot-Kempp-Rinaldo
Ferlin/Kelly

Chara-?????
Seids-?????
Krug-McQuaid
Miller/C. Miller/Trotman/Morrow

Rask
??????

There's no way Chris Kelly is on this team on opening night. He can't be getting #6 highest forward money when he's playing bottom 6 role. If we're getting a dman, we could package one of K. Miller/Trotman/Morrow with Kelly +Subban to get a decent return.

Not sure what Winnipeg would want for Big Buff but he's exactly the type of defenseman the Bruins need. Aside from Seabrook, Buff would be my next choice.

It's looking more and more like Trotman is a guarantee in the top 4 opening night. Whether that's with Chara or Seidenberg. I'm fine with it TBH. I would like to acquire another defenseman for sure, but don't be surprised to see them roll with Colin Miller as well.

I'm starting to think that they genuinely can't move Kelly due to his NTC. Even if he was willing to waive that, does he actually hold much value?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Josi was 5th in Norris voting this year btw.

Which would make him unavailable. The quote was "if he's available"

Again, no one gets this kind of return. I don't think Lindros netted that kind of return. It's completely foolish to think that anyone would even consider such a thing.

This isn't me undervaluing Josi. This is me stating that in reality, trades have to make sense.

EDIT: Read back over the conversation and I think now that we're all on the same page. The proposal for Josi came up before any of us and we were responding with the very idea being absurd.
This one is on ME for not reading the whole thing and jumping on a post without taking the time to consider the context.

 

[DitClapper]

Just imagine the pairing of Chara and Byfuglien. My god..........
What's the asking price on Buff's big ass?
