[XXIV97]

Would he be a pure rental for the Bruins?

 

[Corvus Corax]

He is a need. I think he would be picked up as a rental and if he fit in and liked Boston and Boston liked him, then there is room to talk contract.

 

[BB88]

Would he be a pure rental for the Bruins?

There's a spot for him on the wing, I've been pushing for Silf quietly on the Bruins board.

Isn't your Leftwing depth with Marchand and Debrusk pretty good already? Or is Silf a right winger?

He’s a RW

The kids are struggling this season and nobody to play #2Rw.

Marchand Bergeron Silf
DeBrusk- Krejci- Pasta
is what I'd try 1st.

That's some type of elite 2-way first line.

 

[Dizzay]

What's the cost?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

He is good friends with Erik Karlsson and he is exactly what San Jose needs. Don’t be shocked if they’re in on him.

 

[Force951]

What's the cost?

1st , maybe a small add depending on the bidding.

 

[AvatarAang]

What's the cost?

 

[BB88]

That's some type of elite 2-way first line.

Which is why I'd put him there, and that 2nd line needs someone who can get it going and I'd rather have Pasta in that role.

 

[dracom]

Would hope Murray would want a 1st for him. But I’m worried he’s too dumb and he’ll just re-sign him instead

 

[Drew311]

If I’m a Bruins fan that doesn’t really move the needle.

 

[BB88]

Add 2 forwards longterm, unless they get Stone/Duchene no 1 player out there is going to fix everything and make them a favourite in the East.

 

[Trojans86]

Silf always plays his best in the playoffs. The playoffs suit his style.

 

[wintersej]

Add 2 forwards longterm, unless they get Stone/Duchene no 1 player out there is going to fix everything and make them a favourite in the East.

Do you wanna sign Silf to a 6 year deal starting in a year he turns 29? Or just rent.

 

[Sabreality]

If I’m a Bruins fan that doesn’t really move the needle.

what? that would be a killer pickup for Boston.

 

[BB88]

Do you wanna sign Silf to a 6 year deal starting in a year he turns 29? Or just rent.

Maybe I'm completely wrong but I would bet on being able to sign him for less.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

He is good friends with Erik Karlsson and he is exactly what San Jose needs. Don’t be shocked if they’re in on him.

One can only hope. Big fans of him, Rackell, and Kase from Anaheim.

Fix everything? Silfverberg won’t make Krecji a better 2C. Bruins need an impact player to fix the depth issue. If not there’s no chance of getting through Tampa.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

I feel like Silfverberg isn’t vanilla enough for Boston.

 

[BB88]

1 forward isn't going to fix everything, but shouldn't you atleast start addressing the problems if you have a chance, and clear weaknessess on the roster?
And not just give up and say those moves are for summer, so far in his career as Gm Sweeney has brought in 0 longterm top6 forwards via trade or draft, so I'd rather not just leave it all for the summer.

Then Tampa isn't going to suddenly drop, they'll be an elite team again next season, with Point& Serg and whatever prospects they have developing.

Then didn't I just wrote how Silf could drop Pasta to 2nd line and let Pasta to be the driver of the 2nd line?

I just think you’re overrated Silfverberg. I haven’t been impressed with Pasta and Krejci together, and I don’t think your coach is either considering he always reverts back to the big three.
