This exchange from the latest closed trade proposal thread made me think I was watching Goodfellas.
I'm funny how? I mean, funny, like I'm a clown? Do I amuse you? Funny how? How am I funny?

Count down ...
I like Kreider Pageau new addition Anthony Duclair (20 goals to date). Dude plays with fire and can score.
Many others...

“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
If anyone is attainable it could be Kreider, still we have to make cap room. The cap is at about 1.8 million as is. With Hall gone I do not see Jersey moving their top scorer in Palmieri. Same for Anderson who is injured. They have no reason to move a young power forward after losing so many guys last year. I do see Ottawa trading in division, especially their best players, it would be great though.
Some player just have more value to their present teams and they will resist trading them. Anderson and Palmieri are going to cost to pry them away or want a prospect we like to keep.
Adding a good player is great but they may need to be on the protected list from Seattle. So who do we now expose and leave open to get plundered? Kovie would be a great pickup as we may only rent him for this year, so no need to protect him.
Maybe we should let the kids see what they can do till we get closer to the dead line. I am talking about Frederic, Stud and Seny. We can give them have a legit shot that we gave a journeyman, who we did not draft or groom. That helps us cap wise and may add some spark, the way Bjork has.

For me it’s Kreider, and it’s always been Kreider.
He has the size and hitting game we lack. He’s the only physical top9 forward rumored to be available. Put him on line2 and Coyle on line3 and you’re no longer getting pushed off pucks in the offensive zone. He’s a career average 50 point player who produces at ES, and he’s a terrific net front presence for the 1st PP which, all of a sudden, could use the help.
Pageau is second for me, mostly because he’s best at 3C and so is Coyle. He’s 5’10 and he’s not a big hitter or huge takeaway guy so while he’s not easily pushed off the puck, he’s not knocking guys around either. He’s not what I would consider a strong passer... He does have a history of scoring in the playoffs and while I think his goal outburst this season is an anomaly, I do think he would produce in the post season. He’s also a spectacular defensive player, Bergeron-lite, and a high character guy.
Kreider, and it's not even close, ticks all the boxes in what we need, a big physically imposing winter who can score.

I think Sweeney would be smart to include Heinen in the deal. Young roster players are rarely included for rentals. His inclusion would likely mean no prospect and maybe even a reduction on the pick. So instead of a 1st and a B prospect like Lauko it would be Heinen and a 2nd.
I like Heinen, I’m probably the only one who thinks he can still become a 60 point forward, but he doesn’t fit the model of speedy wingers, he hasn’t exactly been clutch in the playoffs and he’s the first guy Cassidy yanks off the ice when he gets a hair across his ass (which I think is unfair).
How good would Gorton look if he traded Kreider for Heinen, got younger and cheaper and Heinen scores at the same pace as Kreider down the stretch?
If you have to give to get he’s a quality piece that we seem content to underutilize. He becomes Reilly Smith 2.0 the minute we trade him, but he won’t sniff that potential here playing 14 minutes a night.

Yep, the only box he doesn’t tick is the right shot, but if he shot right then he couldn’t help the 1st PP because they want a LH shot in front of the net. So that’s a trade off I’m willing to make.

If you are offering up Heinen in a deal for Kreider or any other top 6 winger, aren’t you just creating another hole in the offense?
who takes that spot as a third line wing? Are we expecting Kuhlman, Senyshyn, or Ritchie to take that up? Can they be relied upon? Do you make another acquisition? If so what is the cost? I feel like there is more layers to this issue here, and I’m curious so see how Donny addresses it.

Big hypothetical around Kreider ext...
To NYR
Grz + Backes + JFK
TO BOS
Kreider (signs 6yr / $6 mil ext)
Quinn coached both Grz and JFK at BU and he's close with Grz. Rangers could pair Grz with Trouba and when JFK returns they could slot him in as a #3C or RW. I still think JFK can be a good 3rd liner in the NHL that gives you a 200ft game.
The Kreider deal maybe low, but I'll use the ol "home-town discount" idea for this one.
This would give Boston roughly $17 million in cap space for the off-season before any cap increase.
Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kreider
Bjork - Coyle - Heinen
Nordstrom - Kuraly - Wagner
Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Vaak/Moore - Clifton

I'd probably include Lauko to that list and Frederic...if were talking pure rental.

I think Kuhlman could do the job. He’s out of sight out of mind right now but he was very good down the stretch last year. That said, I would look to make another acquisition. Someone low cost but experienced that maybe isn’t having a great season but could be a sneaky upgrade if they get back on track, like a Frolik. That would give us some competition and insurance.

I think both are bottom 6 players with limited upside which is why I'd be ok if they had to included in a package.

Bruins need scoring. He’s isn’t producing this year. To me that’s concerning and way too many assets hoping he finds it.

Krug and Chara Insurance
He’s very solid and tough
If KRUG doesn’t sign and Chara 43 in March you need him
Reports are hes legit

I'd disagree and say Luako has top 6 upside. I include Frederic because he brings size and grit to the center position and its one of our weaker prospect areas.
