Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals

[UncleRico]

Sinmonds is so overrated by Bruins fans it’s hilarious

My cousin is a 25+ year Flyers season ticket holder and says he’s a good player but is not always on like he used to - slowing a bit (sounds like Backes to me) and wouldn’t break bank for him with Couturier and Konecny and Patrick and those D coming up for big deals

He says unless takes home town discount let him walk

I got news for Bruins fans Backes has had a better career then Simmonds and was a better player and the current gap is not big at least in the real world

Backes is 34 and on the last legs of his career. Simmonds is 29 with many years left. I’ll take Simmonds over the next three years.

I'm not sure I'm willing to bet on how many more years Simmonds has in his legs. I do absolutely agree that Simmonds is a better player than Backs today. To me if you get him he is a rental, the is no way I would give him a 5-7 year contract extension, or you will be looking at a similar situation in a couple years where you are paying for what a guy was in his mid 20s, when his body is in his 30s

Doesn’t Simmonds have a lingering hip problem? If so I’m not going long term on a guy like that. I’d take Mark Stone over Simmonds any day.

Bruins paid backes based off what he did in his mid 30s. I’ll take the next 3 years of Simmonds over the next 3 years of backes all day.

I know it's ecklund but he is saying Nylander is about to go to jets for trouba. Let's jump in and give leafs Carlo and senyshyn. What do you guys say? Nylander is a beast.

If I were the Leafs, I'd rather have Trouba

No from me. IMO Carlo is to important to our D.......now and in the future.

I was comparing careers

Brock Holt is better then Joe Morgan now

Clearly next 3 years Simmonds better bet at 5 years younger

I would not pay him $6+ M

 

[JoeIsAStud]

I agree

But if you want Simmonds, you have to pay a heavy price to get him, and you get him for ONE year. If you want to get him for 3 years, you are almost certainly going to have to pay him for 7 years (ie 6 year extension)

And those final 3-4 are likely going to start to get very ugly

Carlo and senyshyn aren't couch potatoes here that's an excellent package for Nylander. if leafs don't want it take a hike.

I think you are on to something here

Kyle Dubas was Senyshyn GM in OHL and was one of two teams reps that met him individually for lunch draft week

Make it happen

We got oodles of Cap space

 

[pkunit]

Carlo and Heinen for Horvat. We probably still need to add but that's still our teams biggest need.

 

[UncleRico]

Not a trade proposal, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Letestu here on a PTO. Could be a 3rd/4th line center if none of JFK/studnicka/ frederic are ready to go.

No thanks just put backes on third line.

That’s crazy. Same Heinen who put up 47 points as a rookie? And a top 4 d? AND we would have to add?

 

[ON3M4N]

Am I the only one that feels like Heinen gets added to deals because he doesn't have that high end talent label? I really don't get it lol. He's a low maintenance 3-zone player that put up nearly 50 points his rookie year in a 3rd line role. He's a guy that as he gets older will help stabilize any line because his style fits with some many other players. Reminds me a lot of a Loui Eriksson.

I feel like he’s a smart player with skills. His IQ is his selling point imo.

Can Nylander play center? I was actually thinking Krug and JFK for him

And if Donato is ready to go......?

 

[UncleRico]

Donato will be playing on the wing.

 

[Ratty]

Donato will be playing on the wing.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.

 

[Rumpy]

Backes is 34 and on the last legs of his career. Simmonds is 29 with many years left. I’ll take Simmonds over the next three years.

So you would sign Backes to the same “mistake deal” Sweeney did. Interesting ...

I hope those in charge learnt from past mistakes?

im going to guess most people that add him to trade proposals are just good at math

future cap hit PLUS potential return value in a trade MINUS competition for available roster spots divisible by how to manage a winning roster = his name sometimes popping up in trade discussion

im not saying that its a guarantee he needs to be dealt... but for a couple years now ive been pointing out we got too many good left hand shot smallish wingers and there wont end up being long term jobs for all of them when the dust settles.

Heinen will need to either have a higher end ceiling or a lower cap contract cost if he wants to improve his chances of staying here. I think his main competition is donato and to a lesser extent Bjork. I think marchand and debrusk are established... pastranak is established. backes is a different case.

4 spots seem spoken for and then Heinen/donato are competing. Bjork/senshyn are waiting in the wings. federic/jfk might end up factoring in. only 2 jobs and a lot of competition. being cheaper cap hit will be an advantage but don't think Heinen will end up being cheap

I believe that he gets added to trade proposals because of the qualities in his play that you describe.

He certainly has more trade value than some of the promising, yet less experienced, forwards on the roster.
