Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals XIII- Mod in OP

[PlayMakers]

Also, I've done a complete 180 on Michael Ferland. I want him, and I want him to play with Marchand and Bergeron.

In Calgary, Ferland played RW with Gaudreau and Monahan which is a similar setup to 63 & 37 in terms of having one hyper skilled guy who dominates puck possession and a smart, two-way center.

When this guy is revved up, he's a force, like old school Lucic force.

count me in.

I haven't been disappointed in the games I have watched him and I am surprised that so many people think he is cooked, but I obviously don't see him every game. He is a fast skater for a power forward, his big issue is staying healthy.

He just seems to be laboring out there and picking his spots on when he hits his turbo button so to speak. It looks as if he's not nearly the same player he used to be, if this was the Simmonds of a few years back, id be on the bandwagon for the Bruins to acquire him but I just don't think that's the case.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

I like how people are trying to pre-empt their disappointment by saying the Schenn deal won't happen.

Its like us saying "This game is a loss, so if they do win or tie then thats just exceeding expectations"

People are worried their hope will be let down. So they are sabotaging themselves before they can be let down.

I thought Gryzlek missed some defensive assignments last night, one which lead directly to a goal. He wasn’t awful. But he’s the easy choice on the left side to sit a game for Moore. Maybe next game Gryzlek slots back in and Moore slides over to Millers spot. I think Miller needs a seat upstairs for a few games

Great point. If that were a standard applied to Krug he would miss every third game.

Flames Johnny Hockey setting career highs this year since they traded him for Lindholm.Not saying Bruins would not be better with him but that trade changed Flames for the better.

Do you just think they would put him there?

I agree if they get him he shouldn't be on the 2nd line, because he's not the guy that line needs.

Carolina getting Nino makes one think Ferland trade is closer to happening than in the past.

Thats what Boston sports fans do, "The Sox will blow it int he 9th" is pretty much a saying I use in every facet of life...

Rask traded for Niederreiter








Victor Rask of course

now would be the time to pounce, 3-4 years down the road and the way this guy plays, he`ll have put a ton of hard miles in on those skates

[LouJersey]

Wild now has Staal-Granlund-Rask...

Time to pounce on Coyle

 

[ODAAT]

Rask traded for Niederreiter

talk about stock dropping hard, NN was looked like a guy who had solidified himself as a terrific complimentary player, 2nd liner, 3rd at worst who would bring you a solid game in all 3 zones and contribute some nice numbers offensively

Canes fleeced them

How did they get a decent and tangible asset for Victor Rask? Backes should return a 1st start shopping him.

yep

and Grizz is a 25 year old top 4 D with an extra year at 1.4 mil.

Most of the serious proposals I've seen for Schenn have been overpayment IMO. Grizz is being undervalued even by people who love him.

So true couldn’t agree more. I’d only do a second tier prospect like Pavel Shen with Grizz.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Just kind of looking around... thoughts on Kyle Palmeri?

Palmer and
Wood now that’s a trade worth giving up some youth for. I would be all in on that deal. Both guys signed longer term and exactly what we need

 

[PlayMakers]

Do you just think they would put him there?

No, I think they have to see that Cehlarik-Krejci-Pasta is a viable option first.

I don't think the Bergeron line is playing all that well right now (I don't think Pasta has scored an ES goal or picked up an ES assist with 37 & 88 in weeks) so that gives me some hope that they'll be willing to try something different.

If that Czech line clicks, I think it opens up some exciting options. You could try DeBrusk with Marchand and Bergeron but I'd really like to see him with Heinen in a Phil Kessel type of 3rd line role. You also can be more flexible with the RW you acquire because Marchand and Bergeron are much better at assimilating line mates.

 

[Mainehockey33]

Schenn and Tarasenko

Grzelcyk, JFK, Debrusk, Lauzon, 1st and 2nd

 

[Oates2Neely]

Great point. If that were a standard applied to Krug he would miss every third game.

Except Krug adds value at the opposite end of the ice that Gryzlek doesn’t come close to adding. Krug makes plays at the opposing blue line and in. Gryzlek doesn’t. He lacks the vision. Very good dman, but doesn’t have offensive instinct.

Until/ unless McAvoy remains healthy and proves he can produce consistent offense, Krug is this teams sole QB at the point

 

[Bmessy]

The amount of complaining about a 60 pt defenseman is insane. People kill me

 

[Number8]

Can't give up our solid prospects to win a round . If destiny says we win lord Stanley good enough . Let's not break the bank and destroy our prospect pool which can ruin the franchise. Add some cheap grisly vets and hope that sprinkle will cook us a cup.

I love the passion but I confess I don’t know where you stand. You have taken several different stances over past week.

Agree 100%.

He has never ever had 60 points .59 is his high so lets get that straight..And he is -8 this year.So no matter how many points he has when he is on the ice the other team has scored 8 more times then Boston.That is why people complain.
