Proposal: All Bruins Trade Proposals VII

[Dr Hook]

Even if you could move Krejci's $7 mil salary in-season (you couldn't), and even if you could get back something approaching fair value for him (you couldn't), and even if you could get a useful, NHL player for him (you couldn't), and even if you could get him to waive his NTC (you couldn't) who moves up to fill his place? Coyle? Okay. Despite the circle jerk about Coyle, you're taking a talent hit there. So then who moves up to play 3C? Kuraly? Lindholm? Wagner? Puke. Puke. Puke. There's a net loss to the team by losing Krejci and playing guys above their true talent level.

Yep - @bbfan419 noted above, only if you have another center coming in too, and all of sudden you are looking at deals that won't be made during the season. Not by this team (who I don't think are looking to trade Krejci anyway).

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Krejci is worth more to the Bruins than any team he could be traded to. No team is going to give us a player equal to or greater than Krejci.

If he is traded for a winger version of equal value, now we just have a huge hole at #2 C. Who do we move then?

 

[Lil Bert]

Would not be happy if they trade a 1st, 2nd, and Studnicka to get AA and dump Backes. AA is a negative 5 on 5

A guy who is a -24 5 on 5 in 29 games. Overall opponents are scoring over a goal a game against him 5 on 5. Pacing for 40 points. Gross.

Given AA is on a TERRIBLE second line that includes Fillpula and Glendening. Two guys who wouldn't even make the Bruins... His stat line doesn't explain how dynamic this guy actually is.

It's clear that the Bruins could use some more secondary scoring and really secure a spot in the finals and the Wings need futures. AA's an RFA and a 30 goal scorer last year.

 

[JAD]

Agree with many here. Team is to comfortable.

A change of players could either make or break this team but something must be up.

It's called and 82-game regular season we're games in December just don't hold the same intensity and adrenaline rush as games in April, May, and June.

I really never expected them to keep up the same crazy pace they were on but if someone asked me in August or September would I be happy with their record now in December, hell yes!

Really at this point the team needs maybe a few tweaks but I really want them to be healthy and firing on all cylinders throughout the playoffs

Backes is not an option for Detroit..... imagine, the Ilitches trading Lidstrom, and that core simply because it's not a cap dump

I've re-read this about ten times and I have no idea what you're trying to communicate or how those two statements are connected

why would Detroit acquire Backes, read the proposed trade, that's like trading Lidstrom, or insert Red Wing legend X into said proposal

 

[maxl7]

Detroit acquires Backes because they are rebuilding and would take assets in exchange for a negative value contract. You don't think they're actually trying to compete this year and next, do you?

nope, and hasn't the proposals gone the other way, one more concussion and he's done, why would Yzerman want him

 

[maxl7]

Yzerman doesn't want him. Yzerman would want the futures attached to Backes to help his rebuilding team. This is not difficult

 

[Mpasta]

I think he's comparing Nicklas Lidstrom to ******* Andreas Athanasiou but it's still hard to understand. Don't bother arguing with him. It's pointless.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Two big issues, we need a shooter/scorer and some size and toughness on RW. My take is Anderson and Palmieri replacing Heinen and Ritchie

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Palmieri - Krech - Bjork (either winger can play both sides)
DeBrusk - Coyle - Anderson (Jake and Krech have no chemistry)
Nordstrom - Kuraly - Wagner


Just a thought but something around this, depends what the other team really wants and values. I know we would love to get rid of certain guys but do the other teams actually need them.

Get Palmieri for Heinen and Zboril (not sure if that is enough)
Get Josh Anderson for Cehlarik and Moore if they need a deeman for Werenski.

If they want more include prospects or picks, we can afford that.

Can we get away with trading Cehlarik twice?

 

[Dizzay]

Good post.

Krejci has been good ... why would the bruins trade him?

Why on earth are we petitioning to trade Krejci? He's 1 of the 4 top 6 players we have on this team. Debrusk and Coyle are on the cusp

1. Trade Moore and his 2.75 million dollar contract
2. Send Par Lindholm and Brett Ritchie down to the AHL, hopefully someone stupid grabs them on waivers.
3. Call up Studnicka and let him play 3C
4. Put Coyle with Krejci and Debrusk until Sweeney gets off his ass.
5. Heinen for Anderson and roll with a Bjork-Studnicka-Anderson 3rd line
6. Rotate Backes in and out of the line up to give guys a break.

You're too fast but sure why not he must have a brother or a cousin.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Personally I don’t think the Bruins make any moves until the trade deadline again, unless when Miller is healthy they need to move a D is about all I see happening.

Columbus is not going to move Anderson for Heinen.

I know......we have to add something, just not sure what.

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Either move Debrusk to the 3rd line with Coyle or move him for a scoring winger. He's been invisible in some of these games.

You're moving a scoring winger for scoring winger?

1. Don't think the bruins trade Moore / good deal for them
2. Yes / better options in Providence
3. He needs some more grooming
4. Agreed
5. Don't see how this helps team - Heinen is good. He isn't the only one that isn't performing
6. Dump Backes in trade

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

 

[NeelyDan]

trading Krejci to fill the gap on the right side has a net zero effect, really - you want a 2RW you're gonna need to dip into your youth and prospects, plain and simple

 

[maxl7]

1. Don't think the bruins trade Moore / good deal for them

1. Even if you like the player, it's a bad deal on the basis of you shouldn't be paying 2.75 for the next four years for a 7th defenseman. Moore is the most expendable and replaceable asset they could part with to free up cap space. But that presumes that other teams would actually want him and his contract, especially with most teams being very close to the cap.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Krejci is tied with Nick Backstrom in points.

Who does Backstrom play with? 50% of his even strength ice time with Ovechkin and Oshie. 30% with Tom Wilson instead of Oshie. Those guys are ok at hockey.

Who does Krejci play with? 21% of the time with Pasta and Marchand. Pretty good. 11% with Debrusk and Pasta. The other 70% of his even strength ice time has him in a mix with Kuhlman, Heinen, Coyle, Bjork etc.

Krejci is not the issue. The 5+ years of revolving linemates are the issue.
