Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals XVI - Mod in Op

[Blueston]

Why would you need Stone if you already have Stempy? Checkmate Sweeney.

 

[The don godfather]

So the final Picasso is Coyle backes danton. Debrusk David and stemp?

 

[Sheppy]

having another veteran forward in the mix isn't a terrible idea.

Is it a good idea though? I’d be all for a vet Forward if they are good. Stempniak isn’t..

 

[LavioletteScores]

All time creepy movie.

Yeah, the book is much better. Oh hey, Lee Stempniak!

 

[Gordoff]

Look who he is playing with. They don't need someone to come in here and be a defensive leader. They need goals at 5 on 5.

FCS HE isn't a 5/5 threat he's a PP threat. ****!

Barf

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Bacause

Doesn’t make any sense.

 

[prizminferno]

There's no roster cap after the TD so we needed to add forward depth people

 

[AlpineLager]

Stemp the guy Dom was referring to? LOL

 

[chizzler]

I wonder which of Lee’s 3 goals in 37 games last year sold Sweeney the most.

Depth move. Doesn’t hurt.

[Bruinaura]

Can't beat those 2003 draft year players, lets not stop, go get Carter and Perry

I hear Urquhart is available

 

[Sheppy]

You said that yesterday and today they added Stempniak. So what do you know

I also said that they’d sign Stempniak for weeks. It’s a nothing move that does nothing.

 

[JRull86]

Signing stemp isn't going to preclude them from making a move. He clearly is F depth since the roster limit doesn't matter after the TDL.

 

[NeelyDan]

x leaf why not....

Rick Vaive still playing?

Rick Vaive played on my town's major league hockey team (senior A) a couple years back - it was....it was not good.

 

[CDJ]

Is it a good idea though? I’d be all for a vet Forward if they are good. Stempniak isn’t..

He was hurt last year, you see him in the preseason and get the reports this year from providence? It’s clear to me he’s an nhl player. He’s not a good one but he’s depth. And you need depth. And I prefer that depth has playoff experience

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Well it started off as a high all this Stone talk but it looks to be weeded out. Now we are a Stone's throw away from getting Stoned, what a buzz kill.

ps, what about Clayton Stoner

 

[NeelyDan]

Why would you need Stone if you already have Stempy? Checkmate Sweeney.

There's a reason you're the first outsider to penetrate another team's forum to the point of being welcome.

 

[wintersej]

Stempniak doesn't stop them from making another move, but protects them in case they don't. Even if they 10000000% are going to make a move it can be posturing for negotiations. They ain't spending their 15 million in cap space. Don't freak out.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Completely disagree. Were possibly looking at trading for this player and you think the fact that he is a TEAM WORST -20!!!! has no bearing on the type of player were potentially acquiring? Giroux +4, Couts +4, Gudas +12! Simmonds -20! that just floors me. Again I always have to say, I know +/- isnt a deep in depth stat or anything but in this case it's pretty telling. You SHOULD be concerned with the fact that Simmonds last three seasons (declining player) is a -54!!!

Again, he has some positives but I feel they're pretty isolated. Good net front presence, great on PP, tough as nails and by all accounts great in the locker room. However, I don't think he would be worth the investment for what he brings at this point. His last 2 playoff series he had 4 assists in 12 games.

On the Bruins, he’s a + player scoring goals in close as a middle 6 W.

His -20 on the Flyers is totally irrelevant.

For cheap, I wouldn’t mind Simmonds.

Go all in for Stone tough.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

I don’t see the Bruins adding anything else.

He cannot do that. The amount of Fire Sweeney posts here would break the servers.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Wonder if the Bruins would go

22-13-43 3rd line instead of 43-13-42

Means 42 is a scratch and can’t see them doing that.

Please, no to either. Backes starts playoffs as 13th forward. Great guy to put in when needed.

[Smitty93]

I've got no issues signing Stempniak as depth. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you need to be signed before the trade deadline in order to be eligible for the playoffs. Like someone else said with Hnidy, always good to have veteran depth in case you need it in the playoffs.

 

[Blowfish]

Signing stemp isn't going to preclude them from making a move. He clearly is F depth since the roster limit doesn't matter after the TDL.

But does he have to clear waivers?
