massive Heinen fan but my gut tells me there is a chance something special is possible with Bjork so Heinen would be the guy to go for me but there`s a reason I`m typing this from my office at home rather than an office at the TDLove the thought of acquiring Palmieri and Anderson.
Two RW's who we can flip flop with Krejci to see who has chemistry. The other plays with Coyle.
I'd say the cost would likely look like:
a) Bjork or Heinen
b) Nordstrom or Lindholm (salary and roster space)
c) 2nd round pick 2020
d) Zboril or Lauzon
e) Frederick or Senyshyn
with bogosian asking for a trade.. i started thinking about a good ol' fashioned hockey trade.. backes and vak for bogosian and one of middlestadt/oloffson/rheinhardt.... bogosian would be a decent 3rd line dman and another rh shot. roughly same money as backes but is a free agent after the year.. olofsson gives krejci a shoot first guy finally. middelstadt can be thrust into a more minute role and hopefully flourish. plus could be a center for the future if needed. rheinhardt gives you a guy that has played rw before and has experience heck throw in cehlarik for lazar and that at least gives you a big body to throw around and hopefully finally lives up to his potential (doubtful) but you never know.. vak is a prized posession i get that but you would need that value for them to take on the backes contract.. if he even allows that.. i doubt buffalo even listens, especially inter-division but just mixing it up again on the trade proposal thread

I didn't think Heinen had any massive fans outside of his family.
Bogosian is AWFUL. The Bruins are a stronger, better team keeping Vaak and even Backes if they move out one or both of Moore and Miller instead of exchanging dead weight for dead weight and creating more of a logjam of third pairing defensemen.
I'm sorry I didn't realize I had to map out all the corresponding moves as well.No chance you're getting either Palmieri or Anderson without a first round pick going the other way. Lindholm makes 700k so his salary is nothing. Also, how are you getting both and not moving a bigger contract(s) out?
Maybe both are going in a deal to trade Backes.Read in the Pbruins thread that Celharik and Zboril are sitting. Does that mean a trade could be imminent? My guess is that there would be at least 1 piece in Boston involved for a team to want this package.
And heeeeerrree come the "we should sign Kovalchuk" takes...
Talking rough numbers from Capfriendly, Bruins have about $1.8M in cap space. Toffoli's cap hit is at $4.6M.
