Rumor: Bruins interested in Tyler Toffoli

[Sens]

If you can extrapolate after 13 games, can I just cut out the first four and do the same while chalking it up to a dreadful team starting hot?

Toffoli responded well to sitting a game. If I felt he'd respond just as well to being awful for the past 100 games, I'd hope the Bruins acquire him.

Dudes averaged 21G 200+ shots a season the last five years and that’s with him missing 20 games one year

So I have a 400+ game sample size

John Moore + Cehlarik
for
Toffoli

 

[Hookslide]

MacAvoy + 1st for Toffoli

This is what happens when you legalize drugs.............

 

[Hookslide]

We'll take one order of Brandon Carlo please.

We'll take one order of Brandon Carlo please.

Sorry we are all out of that, would you like something else ?

 

[alg363636]

I'm fine with Zboril and a 2nd.

I'd prefer Toffoli as a back up if we can't get a better winger. I think he might do well on Krejci's wing but I also think he might suck and not make a difference.

 

[TheKingSlayer]

I wasn't ready to accept the trade until you through in the 5th. It made all the difference.

Always add in the late pick, then you negotiate it down to just Zboril and a 2nd and everyone is happy. Negotiation 101!

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Zboril and a 2nd for Toffoli sounds fine with me.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

 

[BB88]

Boston for sure needs more 2nd/3rd line scoring.

 

[Gaud]

im betting all teams called in for Toffoli to at least ask

 

[weinsink]

MacAvoy + 1st for Toffoli

Go watch basketball

 

[wintersej]

I've been saying Toffoli for a 2nd forever.

But I'm now thinking LA native Kevan Miller and a 4th.

Why would they want a pending UFA?!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

We'll take one order of Brandon Carlo please.

Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Over the past 2 seasons Toffoli has identical stats to Danton Heinen. I know that TT once had 30 goals, but from everything I've seen he looks more like a 20 goal, 40-45 pt player than the 30 goal 55 pt player he was 4 seasons ago. If I'm the Bruins I would be reluctant to offer much for the soon to be UFA seeing as you have comparables on the team already.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Yeah a prospect like Zboril and a 2nd rounder seems fair.

 

[Sheppy]

Bleh.

Not the "upgrade" the Bruins need.

 

[Reaper45]

I'd be ok with either Zboril, Frederic or Vaakanainen (though I fully admit I dont know how highly regarded each player is in Boston) and a 2nd for Toffoli and a later pick.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

his value dropped significantly after last years production... not sure what he's worth

that was more a product of the garbage coach we had; as literally everyone improved this year

Toffoli's 7pts in 13gp is back on par with his usual 40pt production

but i wouldn't know why Boston is interested, they really don't need help scoring

The latter two are more highly regarded, if anything it would be one of them straight up but even that I wouldn't do. Everyone seems to be on board with Zboril + 2nd but honestly a 2nd straight up seems kind of fair to me. Maybe a small add but I'd rather not have it be Zboril. Wouldn't really be too upset if that ended up being the cost though.

We could use a 2nd line RW to replace MoJo

 

[bigbadbruins1]

I wouldn't put too much into acquiring Toffoli. Right now he was a flash in the pan. He has similar numbers to every other winger we've tried on the second line. I wouldn't go any higher than Zboril and a 2nd. That's fair value, considering the risk each team is taking. Toffoli could pot 30 goals next to krejci. or he could pot 15. It's a gamble for each team and the only thing that will win or lose the trade is the players performance.

 

[YP44]

Zboril + 2nd seems very agreed upon.

Not sure where Zboril would play in a very crowded AHL d corpse but is very fair.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I believe the rumor last year was that the Kings were interested in Bruins prospect Jack Studnicka. Not sure if their interest in him is still high given that the Kings have a stockpile of center prospects in the pipeline.

there was also a rumor about Kovalchuk to Boston at the deadline with LA retaining like 20%.

Jack Studnicka isn't going anywhere. He is being groomed as the future 1/2 centre for the Bruins. He is playing very well in Providence and will be a regular with the big club in 1-2 years.

If the Bruins were to ever trade Studnicka it would part of a package that would bring back a top flight centre. In other words, they aren't trading him.

They still need warm bodies, so Zboril has value.
