This doesn't help the Bruins at all.

Solid return for the Rangers (being nit-picky, I'd want a conditional if Kreider re-signs). Don't know how Boston fans will feel though.

 

[Oates2Neely]

I know he's from Massachusetts, but with what money would they extend him? Beside Krug/Halak, it's not like there is much money coming off the books with DeBrusk, Bjork, Chara? all needing new deals. They could trade someone, but who?

Move out Kevan Miller, John Moore, Danton Heinen for picks. That clears almost 9 million

 

[Trap Jesus]

The value is actually good for the Bruins for that (getting rid of Backes alone is worth a 1st round pick to me), but it also really limits their trade assets to make a deal to upgrade their roster for a run this year. Jost really wouldn't be any type of upgrade for the Bruins in terms of the players they already have on their roster.

Nothing to do with the GM.
That was the price to move a 6M cap hit.
It likely is the starting point to move Backes unless a good prospect is in play.

Bruins don't have to trade Backes. The Leafs had to trade Marleau. That's the big difference.

Aren't Beleskey and Seidenberg done after this season as well?

If they are in on Kreider and want to re sign him they do.(which is what this is about)

it does and is doesn’t. If I told you the Bruins could dump Backes and a 1st and get Jost. We’d be all for it. The fact this takes Kreider off the board is the only part of that trade that hurts.

It helps the Bruins going into the offseason, but doesn't provide immediate help for the playoffs.
