On a side note, does anyone else miss the punny game headlines on NHL.com? I used to love seeing those
To me, the only way you try to trade Krejci is if Tavares goes to free agency and he could be gotten for the Bruins. Someone here said Carolina could be a good fit, I could see it, but no way for Hanifin. IF Tavares were to sign here, you'd trade Krejci to Carolina for picks/prospects/not Hanifin.
But really, it's more wishful thinking.
It's probably wishful thinking, but that's the type of thing I'd prefer. However, Tavares coming in for 10M+ AAV...How's that affect the cap? I've never really looked into that stuff, signing a big time free agent like Tavares and having to re-sign some of our young players. Glad I'm not the GM haha
If Chevy wants Spooner it's because he wants Spooner, not because Scheifele went down for 2 months.
They moved Wheeler to center and put Laine with him and Connor and didn't miss a beat.
Havent missed a beat based on 2 games....Right
Good point. Just do not see Spooner having any place on this team after this year. It is trade him this season or let him walk in the offseason
The Islanders will lose Tavares before they deal him. The new owner is a fantastic and if John leaves it won't be over money.
Here's a thing on John I heard. His the most underrated superstar in the tri state area and recently had a chance to sign a lucrative ad deal for TV. Before signing he went to the company and asked them for a spreadsheet on how long the commitment is per week time wise....they said it would never take away from practice time.
They told him and he declined. He said the time (I heard it was only a few hours per week) would keep him away from his physical training and additional time other than practice that he skates and trains on ice.
His owner recently backed it up on a radio interview. He's one of the most intense and focused athletes in any sport.
That's just awesome. The dude wants to be his best and wants to win.
Based on 2 games they did just fine.
It's not my fault you made a flat-out awful trade suggestion like Chevy making a major deal just because one of his top players is out for 6 weeks. NHL GMs don't operate like that.
My whole ORIGINAL post was about how it is hard being a GM making trades at certain times. Ie is it worth trading Spooner right now given the injuries the Bruins have dealt with this year. Or for Winnipeg if you need to fill the hole left for Scheielfe. IMO over 6-8 weeks Winnipeg will need to.
My other point is for the first time the Bruins are dealing from a point of strength as they are deep down the middle for years to come, and I think Sweeney should try to exploit a.team LIKE Winnipeg who is sitting in a P.O. spot without their number 1 center at their service.
Your right CHEVY may not have BEEN looking at Spooner until a few nights ago. Now he may be.
My second point was if Sweeney could turn it into a bigger trade to help the Bruins now as it is clear Spooner has 0 future in Boston after this year.
Just because YOU think the trade is bad is YOUR opinion. I read a lot of your post and disagree with almost all of them. Or the other poster saying Chevy does not panic like he knows the guy or has any knowledge what he is thinking is absurd. A Good GM makes trades at the right time.
I think a package for Trouba who is not at all a lock to resign with Winnipeg or may not want to can start with Spooner and Krug and move to further conversations.
That being said the other component would be Boston signs Trouba in the trade much like Turris did.
The other poster is basing his comment on Chevy based on Chevy's history as a GM, he's a patient as it gets when it comes to making trades if you look at his track record. So it's not an absurd comment at all.
Suggesting a GM make a major move like trading Trouba for a package of Spooner/Krug just because he lost a star player for 6 weeks is completely absurd and quite honestly very unrealistic. I don't think your trade idea is bad (there is value there) but unrealistic based on how NHL GMs operate (i.e. they rarely panic and make moves for the very short term)
A good GM does make good trades at the right time. Making a deal while Scheifele is injured is the exact opposite of the right time for Winnipeg.
You can disagree with my comments on this board all you want, hard to take you seriously when some of your comments directed at me lately consisted of one word immature responses like "Really?".
Chicago Wolves fans know Cheveldayoff quite well, and so do AHL Fans, Ryan77, so we know of what we speak, otherwise you will hear from their fanbase directly.....

Ottawa not trading Stone no-matter how hard you look especially for a deal around Spooner.
The Sens will undoubtedly like to deal Hoffman ,Brassard and would love to deal Ryan and would even trade Ceci for the right price but their not trading Stone unless they get an over-payment.
Trouba gives Boston that left handed top 4 D man they need. (Provided he signs in the trade and what he signs for of course)

Tavares talk is silly from all angles.Please don't talk about Tavares. I don't want to get my hopes up and then get crushed. ****ing Tavares, holy hell. Can you imagine? <3
didn't we have a dozen options to get vanek the last few years if we wanted him? hes such a loser I cant possibly see why we would want to bring him in for a playoff runMy stance is not all the kids will continue to produce like they have thus far. We also struggle to score at times. We need to add a 2nd line veteran to this lineup. But ya, I don't want to give up much either. So whats up with Thomas Vanek? Rumor: Bruins and Canucks linked in trade discussion for top winger
