Proposal: All Bruins Trade Talk - MOD warning in OP

[DominicT]

Sorry Dom missed what he said there bud.Are we talking about something he said outside his podcast like maybe 690 the Fan or something?

That's my understanding.

Where I am right now I an unable to look for it which is why I was asking here.

 

[DominicT]

Hurry up Dom

Jimmy is waiting to break down HIS news

Some things are just more important.

I have to confirm something first and I can't do that until morning.

My suggestion is het some sleep and set you alarm for 8 am

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Carlo+ for signed Stone is something I could get behind. It's steep obviously, but you are not gonna get him for less. He's still 26 years old, that fits right in with our core, but would still have good value in a few years in case we have to rebuild/retool.

Alright the problem is that it is already almost 8 am in Germany in the morning and shift starts at 9. So no more sleep for me anymore

What you probably going talk about is, that the deal was never be about the Bruins dealing for Schenn. More another team going for him I think.

 

[Gordoff]

Just thinking: Maybe Vaak is involved in a trade and the Bruins haven't/couldn't announce it because he was in the WJC? Now that the players are getting back to their teams etc maybe there's something up with that?

 

[Fenway]

@Fenway Will know

As @Dom - OHL knows, McGuire checks in with several TSN radio stations every day but he tends to babble more on CKGM Montreal where he gets a full 20 minutes at 5 PM. Things change during the day and Pierre also treats each station differently.

St. Louis is pretty much in tank mode now and meanwhile, the Bruins are on a roll in early January.

Everybody in the NHL knows Boston is looking for a center but right now there is no reason to overpay for one.

That said, the next 4 games will give us an idea of where the Bruins are right now and I don't expect anything to happen until after they play Montreal next Monday.

I wonder what cereal contains those decoder rings? I wish I had one because all this innuendo is hard to keep track of.
I haven't read A. Christie in a while but her mysteries have nothing on this...

I get this plan but i do not think they need 4 games to find out.Gonna find out vs Washington a team that has clobbered them 4 years now.That game should be a good indicator of where they are.They may wait 4 games but they will know Thursday night.

jesus christ they have had since May. we know where they are as a team. what are they waiting for?

 

[Fenway]

My gut feeling is Sweeny wants to see how they look against Washington and Toronto this week Then any major moves will be designed with the assumption the Bruins will meet Toronto in the first round.

It starts tonight against the Wild who historically have played very well in Boston - The Bruins are 3-8-0-0 lifetime vs the Wild in Boston with Minnesota having a 34-22 scoring edge in those 11 contests.

I would make that deal, but it would really hurt, and for a long time. Carlo is a solid top 4 for the next decade. But I just don't see it happening.

I will be very disappointed if Sweeney can't take advantage of our depth and move Gryz to fill a forward hole. It just makes too much sense

 

[BB88]

3 players the Boston Bruins should trade for

Nothing new here but anytime there's an article on how sweet Mark Stone would be as a Bruin it's worth the read.

1)Mark Stone
Forward, Ottawa Senators

Getting Stone would give the Bruins a good shot at matching the Maple Leafs and Lightning. It would immediately transform Boston’s top line into an absolute jugernaut. Stone, Bergeron, and Marchand are all elite two-way players who can score. Good luck getting anything done with that trio on the ice.

The Bruins need more than just one forward line to be a true Stanley Cup contender. Stone would force other guys into more appropriate roles. It’s safe to say he’d be the missing puzzle piece. But he’d be an expensive one, at that.

If Stone hits the market there better be damm good offer waiting for him from Sweeney, now& summer.

One of the best RW just 26y olds.
Would give Sweeney a lot of breathing room, time to re-tool the center ice.

Not Carlo.He is going to be the horse on backend for years and offence not worth nothing if you have no defence.Sorry but any deals Bruins do Sweeney has to avoid Carlo in them.Just my opinion.

Stone is a superior player to Carlo.
If you can get signed Stone for Carlo I'd say yes.

The defense will be build around McAvoy, and then hopefully Vaaks on the left side.

 

[BB88]

Just thinking: Maybe Vaak is involved in a trade and the Bruins haven't/couldn't announce it because he was in the WJC? Now that the players are getting back to their teams etc maybe there's something up with that?

Vaaks is the best bet for life after Chara on the Bruins right now.

I'd rather deal someone else.

My gut feeling is Sweeny wants to see how they look against Washington and Toronto this week Then any major moves will be designed with the assumption the Bruins will meet Toronto in the first round.

One regulation game here or there shouldn't be the thing that settles it.

In the playoffs they'll have to play against the best game after game and trust you can get consistent scoring from more than 1 line.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

None. The one you are thinking of was Chiarelli.

Nothing is dead with Don yet.

Thanks.

I had blocked Chia’s post Cup years from my memory, but now it’s all coming back

Cancelled my 8:30am meeting for this.....hope its a doozie!

Thanks Dom/Fenway for sharing...thinking it can't be easy knowing multiple reputations are at stake etc. I mean this to be sincere.

I agree a few more games are needed to view full team together (Mac back) however my gut tells me:
1 - Mac possibly in play? So bigger deal?
2 - Multiple teams in play complicating the deal?
3 - Scouts requesting more time?
4 - More teams interested in Blues causing delays & driving up price

Going to be a very interesting week. Waiting until deadline will only make a trade more difficult. I still like the idea of trading with the Sens. Bruins possibly have the deepest and most talented D in the league. They should be able to land a top scoring forward.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Saad at 8:15 of the highlights (nice short side shot under the bar from a bad angle):



Schenn at 1:00 of the highlights (rebound goal from driving the net):

I would be shocked if McAvoy was in play. Trades take time, there is back and forth, hopefully the deal is not dead (unless STL wants too much).

I agree however all depends on the quality of players involved.

They have had all season to look at a team with significant holes that isn't good enough to compete and they need another 4 games for Sweeney to figure this out? Not doubting you just amazed at how inept and afraid to make moves Sweeney is. Unless he is seeing if they lose all 4 games and he decides to sell there is no reason to wait to make a move that has been needed since August.

His prospects (Donato, Heinen, Bjork) all failed to meet expectations and he failed to have a back up plan because he is a genius and knows more than everybody (see Senyshyn/Barzal). Time for him to do something or Neely/Jacobs jr to fire him and bring in somebody who will.

I tend to agree with every point you made here.......all of them.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

No.

Talking about the Blues.

Listened to the whole podcast. Not only are my ears bleeding, but it was 100% about the Sens. No mention of the Blues.
