Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals XI - Mod in OP

[PlayMakers]

Nice.

Here is mine:

March-Berg-Heinen
Panarin-Krecji-Pastrnak
JDB-Coyle-Cehlarik
NOEL LINE

You’re not worried about the cost to rent Panarin? Seems like a guarantee he’s signing in Florida.

 

[PlayMakers]

Marshy-Bergy-Heinen
Cehlarik-Krejci-Pastrnak
Debrusk-Hayes-Zuccarello

3 balanced lines IMO.

Not sure if Heinen can be counted on in a first line role in the playoffs but I like those pickups and think they’d be affordable enough to be realistic.

 

[PlayMakers]

Marchand Bergie Heinen
Kreider Krejci Pasta
Debrusk Staal Backes
Wagner Kuraly Acc.

I love the idea of getting Kreider. Eric Staal would be a dynamic 3c too, maybe the best of the rental bunch.

 

[PlayMakers]

I think Staal is my vote for realistic 3rd line center, but if my only restriction is no Stone...

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Debrusk-Krejci-Kovalchuk
Cehlarik-Thornton-Heinen
Wagner-Acciari-Kuraly

Nice, but JT has a NMC. I guess I should have said realistic.

If Staal is the 3c you like most of the realistic options, is there any concern about adding two old guys? Both Kovy and Staal are over 34, not sure adding that much age is smart. Staal and a younger winger or Kovy and a younger C would be a safer bet, IMO.

Age doesn't matter at all to me, I want players that can help us win this year. If that means adding a 50 year old then I'd do it. Kovi just led the KHL in scoring last year and now puts up 2nd line numbers on a garbage team. I would take the chance on Kovi even with his contract because he wouldn't cost that much and could have big upside.

With Staal, you have a good vet rental for 3C. Gives us some scoring depth and experience down the middle for this year, and the ability to move on and put Frederic or Studnicka at 3C next season.

 

[Ratty]

Anybody still want Henrique? No one really from the Ducks impressed

Perry is looking kind of cooked

Not feeling great that Sweeney makes a big move. But maybe obtains someone like a Marcus Johansson for Donato or Bjork

Depends on how Kuhlman, Heinen, Debrusk plays the next upcoming games

Doubt Bjork will be included in any trade. Underwent season ending shoulder surgery. Prospective trader will want to see him play fully recovered.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I want Marcus Johansson at third line center. And Silfverberg for the wing.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Silfverberg
Heinen - Johansson - Cehlarik

Those are three lines that can play in all three zones and drive offense consistently. Johansson is a totally different look on the third line from the defensive grinder. His game is built on speed skill and awareness.

Silfverberg is a guy built for the post-season which would jive with JDB and Krejci who both also seem to elevate their games when it's most important.

28 and 27? Either guy could be more than a rental if things worked right. Neither should cost arms and legs either. Something that we can't say about Stone and Panarin.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Kreider & Staal or Hayes would be huge.

 

[Absurdity]

Players the Bruins could be interested in?

Ottawa - Stone, Duchene, Pageau, Dzingel
NYR - Kreider, Hayes, Namestnikov
Chicago - Saad
LA - Kovalchuk, Toffoli (doesn't sound like LAK wants to trade him)
Minnesota - Coyle, Staal, Granlund, Zucker
Philadelphia - Simmonds, Voracek

If Sweeney can't get Stone, I hope he goes after Voracek.

Didnt look very good last night imo

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Agreed. Although his MO is looking kinda ordinary in the regular season and then busting it out in the playoffs.

 

[rocketdan9]

I like Miles Wood alot

I would give the Devils a 1st and zboril for him

 

[Estlin]

Here’s an excercise for the group; make this team a Cup contender in 2 moves. Only rule, you can’t add Mark Stone. For example...

Marshy - Bergy - Kovalchuk
Cehlarik - Krejci Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Hayes - Heinen

I’m curious to see the combinations.

Marchand-Bergeron-Heinen
Cehlarik-Krejci-Pastrnak
Debrusk-Duchene-Silfverberg

 

[The Laukomotive]

I love the idea of getting Kreider. Eric Staal would be a dynamic 3c too, maybe the best of the rental bunch.

Pierre Lebrun said Thursday that Eric Staal has a 10 team NTC clause, the list is "vastly populated with all the obvious contenders" and he has no intention of wavering it.

I love the idea of trading for Johansson, but I can't imagine he waives his NTC to come here. Too much bad blood with Marchand.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Could be. Didn't realize he had the NTC.

Still would be as close as I can get to ideal between cost and build. Really want that third line to be creative and drive some offense. Would make the whole team far more dangerous. I'm not sold on Hayes or Staal paying the type of dividend I want that position to yield.

 

[Bazeek]

Pierre Lebrun said Thursday that Eric Staal has a 10 team NTC clause, the list is "vastly populated with all the obvious contenders" and he has no intention of wavering it.

Which means there are at least 6 playoff teams that aren't on it. If Fenton has a deal lined up to send him somewhere he really doesn't want to go (maybe a return ticket to Carolina?), waiving for Boston might suddenly be worth considering.

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I swear I came up with it on my own. I don't even Tweeter.

Great timing, lebrun just tweeted this. It's only a 5 team ntc, wonder if the blood with marchy is bad enough to get the bruins on that list

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I swear I came up with it on my own. I don't even Tweeter.

I feel obligated to say that I was calling for Johansson months ago

I think he'd be a great fit on the 3rd line.

Just a case of two great minds.

 

[Ratty]

Well, he didn’t get on the score sheet. But nobody else did, either. I thought he played well, dominant at times. Battled along the boards and generated some scoring opportunities.

 

[Dr Hook]

You’re not worried about the cost to rent Panarin? Seems like a guarantee he’s signing in Florida.

Well, the challenge was make us a cup contender in two moves . That would do it. As for next year and beyond, yes, I would be very concerned about a deal giving up too much for a rental of a few weeks. If Florida is really where the bread man wants to go, they can have him. However, put him on a line with Krejci and Pasta we would be looking like serious heavyweight contenders.

 

[The Laukomotive]

True. I'm not sure when a player gives his no trade list, but assuming he had to give one before the season started, his list would probably look something like this: Tampa, Toronto, Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Nashville, San Jose, Winnipeg, 2 of Vegas/St. Louis/Calgary, maybe even Columbus and/or Dallas too.

I think the Islanders, Stars and BJ could be willing to get him and that may force his hand.
