Proposal: BOS - STL

[cakeschmammert]

The trade is one-for-one.

STL: Dunn
BOS: DeBrusk

I feel like it fits a need for both teams. They're the same age (2 weeks apart actually). BOS could use a top-4 LHD after Krug's departure, Blues could use a top-6 goal-scoring LW. As a Blues fan, not sure I would feel comfortable with it until Perunovich/Mikkola prove they can take the next step up, but Krug/Dunn/Perunovich are all similar players that play on the left side. I feel Dunn offers the most value in a trade right now. Considering BOS perspective, I was wondering if moving DeBrusk would leave too big of a hole in their forward group.

Thoughts?

Good basis of a trade. I think STL needs to add a bit IMO

Not a bad deal but Boston holds out for more

Put players aside, the Bruins need goal scoring why are they trading a goal scorer for a d-man.......

They are in on Hoffman at the moment, so there's that.

Hope not , not my type of player . I would rather see them go after a Pacioretty if possible than Hoffman who is soft .

I heard he’s looking for a one year, talking to Boston, Columbus, and Nashville.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Boston should seek more.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

I agree Boston would want more....Bruin fans would know better but I thought their better prospects were at defense and center and that they are weak at forward.....

 

[Eddie Munson]

Boston just signed Grzelcyk as our Krug replacement. If we move DeBrusk it’s for top-6 wing help or top-2 D help.

St. Louis needs to unload some salary to be cap compliant.
Boston has space so the could acquire another player.

Dunn+Sanford

For

DeBrusk+RHD prospect?


Both teams get better at a position of need, while also not getting hurt at the position they’re moving. Also, I know Boston loves their local kids, so I’d bet Sanford would be in the deal.

Pacioretty is as soft as butter too. If you need a guy to core empty net goals he's your man.

Difference between Dunn and DeBrusk is much smaller than Sanford. Maybe put Blais in there.

Gryz was already there. Bruins have 1 LHD and a bunch of maybes.

Actually, we don't need to unload salary as Steen and Tarasenko will probably be on LTIR.

 

[The don godfather]

Debrusk is a future 30 goal guy. Bruins decline

As a Bruins fan I say this is good. Sanford is a big player and the Bruins need to get some size after being pushed around the last 2 yrs in the playoffs. How about Connor Clifton, he is 25 though but is slotting in as a bottom RD deeman. Smaller guy but hits hard and has a lot of flare.

If not Victor Berglund is a late pick but is trending up. He is in Sweden now and reports are he is doing very good. He has 6 pts in 8 games at Lulea, the team is in 2nd place. Bruins fans are starting to get interested in his progression. Losing DeBrusk would hurt but they have a few guys that can step in. Jack Studnicka and or wild card Jakub Lauko.

Nah, the Blues are quite comfortable cap-wise with Tarasenko and Steen on LTIR, and Steen apparently won’t be coming off. That’s enough space to sign Dunn to a bridge deal for like $3-3.5M aav and still be cap compliant.

I think I would do Dunn and Sanford for DeBrusk and Berglund. Sanford hits and fits pretty much anywhere in the lineup. He played with ROR and Perron a lot this year.

I don't like Clifton and don't know enough of Berglund. We can just do Dunn + Sanford for DeBrusk and a pick to even it out? Sounds a lot easier.

That would be better because the Bruins rosters are thin on right handed dee prospects. We drafted a few this year, I think, not sure I gotta check. I was just trying to unload a bit of salary with Clifton. I would be okay with those 2 for Jake and a pick. Not sure the rest of the fanbase would. Berglund is still developing, we all have to see how he does over here.

I’m not adding Sanford to Dunn. They can have Blais instead but that’s it.
