Eklund has been pretty adamant that's Boston and Colorado would be making a deal. Plus, scouts from each team have been at each other's games a lot recently.

Maybe there's something going on here.

 

[tucker3434]

There's definitely something there but there's also definitely a road block keeping it from getting done. I guess Landeskog alone isn't enough to get the package Sakic is after.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Landy and Carlo the main pieces???

I know Bruins had said Carlo is going nowhere but id think he would have to go the other way

 

[nmbr_24]

This is something everyone has been talking about for a week. He's a little late to the party. Boston's next game is in two days after a week off, I would kind of expect a deal to get done today or tomorrow if one is going to get done. I don't know any more than anyone else, it just kind of makes sense.

No thanks.

Do the Bruins prefer to keep McAvoy or Carlo?

We prefer to keep both if it's only Landeskog coming back. McAvoy has more value, but Carlo is vital to this team for now.

McAvoy.

 

[The Nuge]

Enough. If you don't like the source of a rumour, move on.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Carlo is nothing special. If Landeskog is going the other way McAvoy better be coming back. I'd add to Landy (something small but still an add) to make it happen.

Yup, nothing special about a recently turned 20yr old rookie d-man, playing over 21 minutes a night and on pace for around 20pts

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Nothing special.

To be honest, I'm not impressed by Carlo either. We will see in the long run

I think McAvoy will be a much better player for the Bruins in the long run

Disagree. Kid is only 20 years old and already shows potential to be a solid 3-4 Dman.

 

[Weast]

He's not the first one to suggest Landy to the Bruins so this might have some backing to it. Like most Avs fans I 100% prefer McAvoy to Carlo, but I don't want Landeskog traded at all.

 

[Ivan13]

Is he playing that much because he's actually good enough to play that many minutes or because the Bs is severely lacking in talent outside of three players?

 

[Muffin]

Disagree. Kid is only 20 years old and already shows potential to be a solid 3-4 Dman.

TBH we'd hope he becomes more than a 3-4 Dman if we're trading Landeskog...

 

[ON3M4N]

I don't think any Bruins fan would disagree about McAvoy being better in the long run. The Bruins defense last year was ranked 19th in GA/GP, this year they are 12th and at one point were as high as 5th (before the minor meltdown. The only difference in defense from this year to last year...Brandon Carlo.

If the Bruins trade away Carlo I wont be able to control my laughter.

 

[ON3M4N]

I think he gets some help because of the talent of the other RHD, but he's outplayed all off them this year...like not even close to any of our other RHD having the in game impact that he does.

It a perfect world he becomes our 2nd pairing shutdown guy and McAvoy goes 1st pairing.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

TBH we'd hope he becomes more than a 3-4 Dman if we're trading Landeskog...

Maybe I'm overrating Carlo...

I actually feel that Landy is overrated. Much easier to get a 20 goal left winger than a solid defenseman. Really hope Sweeney just says no to this one, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

I won't be able to control my tears

 

[Muffin]

I won't be able to control my tears

It'll turn into tears of joy once you actually see Landeskog play. I'm fully expecting this to turn into the Avs were fools to trade him for a package O'Reilly situation again once the East actually sees him play...

 

[hughdreamz]

If the Bruins get Landeskog for Carlo+ I feel the Bruins win the trade. Carlo is not 100% proven while Landeskog brings a lot more to a team. The Avs are just so desperate for defense that the trade somewhat makes sense.
