I like Duchene. A lot. Checks all the boxes. Left shot C. Right age (27). Plays with speed and pace.

Only downside is his UFA status this summer.

I like the idea of the player but I’m sure Ottawa felt the same way when they dealt Turris. I think he’s not poison or anything, but he’s a loser in this league and I don’t want to sink our eggs in a basket that already failed once.

Agreed, need to spread out the pool a bit, especially after not having a 1st last year. To me the most movable guys are Heinen, Bjork, Donato, Cehlarik, Zboril, Frederic, JFK, Grzyleck, Krug, Zboril, and Lauzon. Obviously, some of those guys have very different values. And some of those guys I don't want to move. But just looking at the org depth, those are the guys.

Agree for the right player(s) I would have no problem moving out some prospects or current NHL guys, but we need to keep our top picks and a few of the prospects we don't want to move.

The only way the "quality" of our prospects gets increased is by not making the playoffs AND winning the lottery. Who wants that? Not me.... because there are no guarantees on the drafted player.

I did not mind Spooner while he was here, but would not want him now at his current salary he is overpaid. We already had/have guys that are overpaid now.

I'll take a stab at it:

Senyshyn and JFK to Arizona for Dylan Strome and a third-round pick.

The value there for the Bruins is amazing. Don't think the Coyotes are this down on Strome to pull the trigger. Strome dominate the AHL last year as a 20 yo rookie he is more or less in the same status as Senyshyn and JFK, but in the NHL, not the AHL.

Heck I'm willing to go further to repair Sweeney horrendous picks. How about zboril senyshyn and JFK for dylon strome. I bet they bite.

I really liked the Duchene talk earlier when Dreger fired up the rumours. The thought of him, DeBrusk and Donato (The Triple D line) not only sounds like it would be really fast, but it also means that Krejci, Heinen and Backes would make up a third line.

Boston does have the young assets to help with the Ottawa rebuild. I wonder what the cost would actually be for Duchene.

That may certainly be true. I have no idea what exactly their rebuilding philosophy is. I'm just talking from a pure asset valuation perspective. Given that they traded JT Miller and McDonough, though, it doesn't seem like they're afraid of trading young-ish guys or core pieces.

My personal opinion is that if you are truly committed to a rebuild, any player over 25 should be available assuming NTC/NMCs are not preventing that. Whether or not you do a slow, patient build like Winnipeg or the Hurricanes or a "quick" rebuild trading your assets for NHL roster players like what Ray Shero has done is your perogative. I will say the former model probably lends itself to more sustained contention than the latter, but that's just my gut.

Their in a rebuild and seem committed towards it. Like you said, last yr they traded those players away when they were still in contention.This tells me if you offer up some top prospects and with the 2019 draft being top-end heavy, anybody on the Rangers should/would be available.

I do feel that the Bruins need to make a move for a center more than any-other. They have depth on the wings in case of injuries, they can even bring guys up from providence who can chip in, but at Center they just don't have that.

Today they basically have two NHL caliber centers. Sure Backes can play there, he's good on draws and defensively, but he just doesn't have the foot speed and he seems like every other game he's leaving early or missing a shift because he got banged up. The Bruins have assets to bring in a Zibanejad or Duchene. Zibanejad may actually be more attainable do to Sweeney and Gortons trade history in the past but either-way the Bruins need more depth at center.

The Bruins reluctance to try Heinen at center is rather confusing as he seems like he'd be a perfect 3rd line center fit. He's smart has good vision and seems to have a great attitude where he'd be more than willing to learn from one of the greatest two- way centers of all-time.

Will the Bruins take a run at Blue Jackets star Artemi Panarin? - The Boston Globe


The Blue Jackets stand 263 days from losing prized left winger Artemi Panarin for less than a lettuce sandwich. Come July 1, he can depart the land of the blasting cannon as an unrestricted free agent, with suitors lining up from the red states to Red Square to acquire the 26-year-old puck wizard.

Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen, the ex-Bruins winger (1989-91), won’t wait for the expiration date to hit. At the moment, he sounds inclined to play this out until the February trade deadline, but that’s a dangerous approach — particularly if clubs keep knock- knock-knockin’ on Jarmo’s door with enticing offers.

It is almost impossible for Kekalainen to win, in the context of netting the kind of sublime talent he is about to see go walking out that door.

Few clubs, if any, have the combination the Bruins can offer in the Panarin chase. Boston’s Russian population may be a little light, but it’s a first-class North American city, and the Bruins have abundant player equity to offer Kekalainen, be it in the form of young roster players and/or prospects.

Kekalainen’s target pool in a Boston swap no doubt would include the likes of Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo, and Jake DeBrusk — the three kids GM Don Sweeney would be the most reluctant to surrender — and any number of others, including Danton Heinen and Anders Bjork on the varsity, and AHL stock such as Trent Frederic and Urho Vaakanainen.

I'm not trading either of those kids for Panarin. And I like Panarin, hard pass from me.

I would consider JDB in a package, but probably not McAvoy- we need him on the D and losing him to get Panarin would make another hole to fill. JDB would be wing for wing, and I think it could work, but it would be tough to see Jake go.

I see Debrusk as a borderline core Bruin right now and a piece I hope they keep. I want them to add talent but not for guys like Debrusk and Mcavoy. If that means no Panarin I’m ok with that.

Still want Duchene but Ottawa probably won’t deal him in the division. 3 good centers would make the team harder to beat and right now Backes is the weak link, upgrading him should give the biggest results.
