Haven't posted a trade proposal in years, but this current Bruins debacle has me wondering about shaking the team up/retooling a bit. Here's an idea:

To Calgary:
Krejci
Frederick
4th round pick

To Boston:
Bennett
1st round pick


Calgary gets a proven playoff performer to hopefully make a better run next year. Has chemistry with Lucic, but ideally they're likely not on the same line. Frederick was a first round pick, and could eventually bring what Bennett currently does. Could play in the NHL now, but likely better suited as depth in the minors on a contender.


Boston gets younger at center, and gets some size and physicality.

What do we think?

Lol @ the first round pick going to the Bruins.

Krejci has been a really underrated player, but that ship has sailed

Thinking Flames would spend that 7.25m (plus) on Hall rather than Krejci.

Definitely agree with this, keep Bennett (who has once again proven he is a playoff monster), keep the first, take a run at Hall. I am curious on how that would effect their PP though, who would they move to the 2nd one? Try a 5 forward PP with 2-way forward Lindholm running the point? A couple teams have already tried it

Can't you guys just slowly burn out this year and fade away for the next 5 years? :sarcasm:
Trade Bergeron to FLA, Krejci to BUF and send Chara home.

Bennett struggles in the regular season (playing wing vs center) but is absolute money in the playoffs. We also finally have a coach and understanding to play him at centre where he feels more comfortable and does better, so he might grow a ton playing full time C.

As many others have mentioned, no disrespect to Krejci, but this isn't a responsible move for Calgary who wants to maximize contention in the next few seasons and beyond.

Its actually a pretty even deal.

Krejci is a playoff hero and still possess elite level playmaking skills. He has been a stud again this year and thats with a streaky player in DeBrusk and a non factor in Kase who appears to have no finish to this point.

Frederick is a 1st round pick that the Bruins have groomed and is ready to make the jump. Big, physical, and some skill. The Bruins appear to be on the end of their current window and a young cost controlled pivot is very appealing.

4th - Cause its one of the only picks the Bruins have. lol.

Bennett is for sure a Bruins/Flames type of player and had a nice run this year. Seems to check all the boxes.

1st round pick, bottom third of the round and its a crap shoot but still a great asset.

I would have to be sold on the pick as a Bruins fan because I don't want to give up DK46 or Frederick even though the package is appealing.

I wouldn't trade Bennett and a 5th for tgat package, if you want to pawn off DK, just say so, ill give you Ryan and a 3rd/2nd 21 based off of DK's production during the season(50 points+ you get the 2nd, less than 49 points its a 3rd) :) deal or no deal?
