Value of: Boston getting a top 6 winger

[Flgatorguy87]

If you expect to win a Cup, you better have 1st line players on the second line and second line players on the third line.

So what is your deal for these 1st line players that are attainable instead of picking through the bottom of the barrel wannabe top 6?

What do the Sharks need? The Bruins have lots of D prospects.

I'd be looking for forwards if we're parting with our top 6 winger. At least 1 prospect that has top 6 potential. I mentioned two already

For a guy like Forsberg I'd go all in. Two first rounders, good prospects who are ready to play. Whatever.

Ryan O'Reilly was traded for Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Sobotka and Tage Thompson, a first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, and a second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.

I'd imagine value is something around that range.

I would hate to trade Forsberg, but I said this in another thread...stacking Forsberg behind Pasta would be really entertaining to watch.

Vaakanainen is Boston's #1 D prospect and he's not gonna start the conversation.

And Lauzon and Zboril...

 

[kthx]

I feel something like Granlund would be great for playoffs.

 

[Favin]

Uhh general knowledge? Name a better prospect in Boston than Studnicka

Lohrei

Please take Dylan Strome for a 2nd

DeBrusk and John Beecher I could live with.

Lets talk Kevin Lebanc then

BOS apparently could have had Palmieri at the TDL last season. Presumably the GM didn't want to pay the asking price. I doubt much has changed. If BOS wants to be aggressive this season they will have to give to get. If they want a real top six wing as opposed to a middle six guy they will have to offer more than their second round pick. They can probably get a tweener at the TDL for a second rounder but it will likely not be a sure thing scorer. I'm not sure why BOS isn't trying to "go for it" last year, this year, and next year. How many years does this core have left? Once Bergeron, Marchand, Krejci, Rask and Halak are gone, at that point Pasta, McAvoy, and Carlo are all great players but not enough to build a cup contender without more high end players. I'd think the next two or three years are worth more than the two or three years after that when BOS can try to retool.

DeBrusk is the guy who seems to be included in most Bruins trade offers so I'm certainly not going to put a lot of value in him when his own fan base obviously doesn't. So what then would you include for Timo?:

DeBrusk is a good player when engaged. He has a good shot. The problem is he's more of a run and gun type of player while Boston is a structured team. He's played mostly with Krejci who is slow and methodical, while Jake likes to fly up and down the ice. It's a square peg in a round hole kind of deal. He is a good player and will play in the league for a long time, I just think he would fare better on another team.

The ask is Timo Meier here. A player who plays a very similar game.
Doesn't seem to make much sense

Honestly it might just be a good change of scenery/culture for the both of them.

Perhaps. Just don't see him as the main piece of the puzzle to acquire Timo
Timo ought not be a player gotten for "the guy" everyone is happy to see traded off

It's not that we want to trade him, it's that we know he has value and you have to give to get.

 

[zizbuka]

JVR and Patrick for McAvoy?

That's not how it reads on the Bruins board.

Tatar is your man.
2nd 2022 + Curtis Hall

Louzan, Vaakanianen and even Zboril at this moment have played top 4 defense. Studnicka may be a 3rd line enter.....Plus i would bet Beecher is going to be better long term i believe. Bruins have other talent coming. Especially on D.

 

[Hookslide]

Yes you can start conversation with him but it does not mean it will end with him.......

 

[Riley 88]

Palmieri could be available. It starts with your 1st.

No thanks.....LOL.....Thats funny.

 

[Czechboy]

The Oilers would like to give you two.. Kassian and Neal.

No need to give us anything back.

Bruins continue to pull NHL caliber defenseman out of their farm system every single year and people still say they have an empty cupboard. They don't have high end flashy prospects because they never pick high but they know how to draft and develop Defenseman.

Good for them, what does that jave to do with Arvidsson or Forsberg?
