Speculation: All Bruins trade proposals/rumors

[wintersej]

i would need more info as to what Spooner and Khokhlachev bring to the table.

Spooner has high end #2C and PP ace potential. Spooner has high end wheels, but is relatively soft. Not to the same degree, but has some of those Skinner-like skates at 10 and 2 moves. Has a good shot, but is always thinking pass first. A lot of his AHL moves may not translate to the NHL level and its unclear how he will adjust.

Koko isn't a straight shooter or passer. More quick than fast. More undersized, but has more jam in his game than Spooner. Also good #2C potential, but probably a lower ceiling for straight points than Spooner. Has probably passed Spooner on the depth chart, but you could argue that is more because of playing style fit in the Bruins system than potential and play.

It assumed a lot on these boards that the Bruins only have room for one of these guys.

Spooner Bart 1st. That's a hefty price

Yep - about what it would take to land Buff if he were to come available at the TD.

Big price to pay, but Buff would make you guys tons better in the playoffs; can you imagine Montreal shaking in their boots with Chara & Buff in the line-up.

In a heartbeat.

Sure. And Morrow is the next Bourque. What's next?

Buffalo_ Chris Stewart for Louie Eriksson

Winnipeg- Dustin Bjfuglien and Evander Kane for Louie Eriksson. Reilly Smith, Ryan Spooner Or Koko and Matt Bartkowski

Carolina- Andrej Sekara for Matt Bartkowski and Jared Knight

Washington- Troy Brouwer for Louie Eriksson

That there are people who exist that believe Chris Stewart is a better player than Loui Eriksson hurts my brain.

I don't even bother. It's insane even talking to them.

 

[DitClapper]

Wonder if Edmonton would do Perron straight up for Kelly?

 

[Gee Wally]

Wonder if Edmonton would do Perron straight up for Kelly?

Why would Kelly ever agree to go there?

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Wonder if Edmonton would do Perron straight up for Kelly?

Well, according to reports they're looking for a "top line center" in return. Maybe that's why Claude played CK with Looch!

 

[iGetCarried*]

Why would Kelly ever agree to go there?

Nah, why would he leave this comfy situation? kelly will stay here fat and happy for the whole contract, unfortunately. :/

Plus, Edm. wouldn't do that deal. We'd have to throw in something more enticing.

You're reading that wrong. It's not that Stewart is a better player than Loui is. It's that he fights more than Loui does. This love of Stewart stems not from his ability to play hockey for the folks clamoring for him to be traded here, but rather in his willingness to drop the gloves, even if they keep pretending it's not about fights. It is. It always has been for them.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

I saw that coming. Wow it was like watching in slow motion in front of Rask.

 

[Strange Universe]

In a heartbeat.

Yes, yes yes, if big Buff can be had, he would be an ideal B's player.
This is one player I would seriously try to land for the benefit of this team now and for the future too.

 

[wintersej]

Um...that's been Spooner's ceiling for a long time. Not some homer overrating. He has been on many a top 50 prospect lists and hockeysfuture, for instance, has his ceiling at between a 1st and 2nd liner. He also has question marks. That could keep him from getting there.

Just saw the Pens beat the Bruins in OT.

If you were healthy and had Buff you beat both Montreal and Pittsburgh in a playoff series.

Khoko, Spooner and Pasternak are all small with some skill.

The guy we really need tho is Joe Morrow. Perfect partner for Trouba.

How about Morrow and a first...very similar to the deal with the habs I mentioned earlier...

I love Joe Morrow and this draft is strong... But I'd have no problems with that deal at all.

Morrow I would have to think about but you want a first as well ,no.Not sure if I would do Morrow for Buff straight up. And yes I do like Buff but........

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Jets need a player like Morrow...badly.

Your 1st is going to be very late if you get Buff.

 

[Gargyn]

The offer going to Winnipeg is worse. But I guess the homers in Boston don't mention these ones. Why would Winnipeg do that?

Give us Kane and you can have Morrow the 1st and Kelly too.

Josh Morrissey isnt going to be that?

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Guys we are sellers at the deadline. Anyone can be had except for Tuukka , Patrice, Krejci, Pastarnak, KoKo, Seth, and of course Soda.

Edit: Svedberg and Subban

Pass from me. Not a Buff fan. I don't like his complete disregard for defensive positioning and responsibility. I know that has a lot to do with his coaching. I just don't see him being effective as a Bruin and certainly not worth the upside of Morrow plus a first.
