Dreger: Bruins could be in market for centerman

[justafan22]

“It is relatively quiet around the league. I’m hearing rumblings around the Boston Bruins,” noted Dreger. “But nothing that’s hot or front-burner, as Cliff Fletcher used to say. It’s more that the Boston Bruins, they have an abundance of good, young forwards. For the Bruins to be as good as they were last year, or even better and contending, then they feel like maybe they’ve got to add another piece.
“I’m hearing that they could be in the market for a centerman. Is that a third-line center. Right now they’ve got David Backes, who’s doing a nice job in that spot. Is it a better player that that. Who are the assets that they’re going to be willing to part with.
“So I think it’s very early in the regular season, but I think that there are a few teams at least who have at least put out word that they’re willing to listen and willing to look at maybe what some other clubs are considering parting with at some point in the season.”

Michael McCarron for Pastrnak

Make it happen Bergy

Michael McCarron for Pastrnak

Maybe throw in DLR to give Boston the edge

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

This has Kevin Hayes written all over it

So Bruins will come away with Gallagher for Nordström.

Bryan Little (two way 2C 45-55 pts) Boston

Trouba to Leafs (contract agreed to first)

Nylander to Jets (contract agreed to first)

Nylander to Jets (contract agreed to first)

Who’s Boston giving up to the jets? I’m sure that Winnipeg isnt interested in trouba + little for Nylander.

I think Boston makes out pretty well here, but I can't quite put my finger on why...

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Also Dreger: entire NHL not named Toronto, Tampa, or STL looking for a center.

 

[ottomaddox]

I would have suggested some of MIN's centers, but BOS doesn't have anyone suitable.

I left that blank intentionally.....depending on what Boston has to offer......it's about value & need so the Jets request could be flexible if value is good. Ideally young RHD prospect+, could entertain young winger or futures depending on values. Jets could then trade prospects, futures or winger (Ehlers example) for young RHD this summer.

Makes sense. They were in the Tavares race.

 

[Mainehockey33]

Is there any teams desperate for a PP QB that would give up a good center for Krug? It’s hard to gauge the value of Krug. Obviously Krug has a NTC so this is hypothetical.

Maybe Chia is looking to add some more grit? McDavid could be had im sure with this pilon in charge.

This just in............all 31 teams would love to add another Centerman....

Dreger gets better all the time...

Little as a cap dump? Where do I sign?

Leafs don't need another center.

Makes sense. They were in the Tavares race.

There was only one team in that race

 

[CaperJay]

There was only one team in that race

I can't remember where I read it but it was reported that he was the one that reached out to Boston and not the other way around

 

[seafoam]

Brock Nelson baby! /s

 

[SI90]

I can't remember where I read it but it was reported that he was the one that reached out to Boston and not the other way around

That is true. But suppedly he was doing his due diligence on other organizations and out of respect for Patrice Bergeron who Tavares holds in very high regard.

 

[AKL]

If it were closer to the deadline and Minnesota was still looking like...this, I'd definitely listen to what you'd offer for Staal.

 

[member 300185]

Dreger is no longer reliable. Plus, that's pretty easy news to figure out. He is like the new Eklund. Just useless.

 

[Go4soda]

Dreger is so brutal. Bruins ‘could’ be in the market for a centerman....I guess.

 

[SML2]

Can Spooner play Center? I guess we'd give him up for a 1st...
