Arizona perhaps??? Aren't they in tank mode because there is a local Phoenix kid who is supposed to go #1 next year? Kelly could be a good leader for a young team.

Sweeney confirms Soderberg return 'highly unlikely'
Sweeney confirms Soderberg return 'highly unlikely'
His statement indicates that he tries to trade him before July 1 to obtain a draft pick. The reason is that I think the interest to get him is great in NHL. This gives Boston a little payment for him because he is a very attractive and great player.

Not trying to be rude but you butchered that name so bad that I didn't know who you meant.
If Arizona has a choice they'll probably pick Matthews who is from Arizona but anything can happen from now until then.

I'm guessing that the Bruins plan to have Kelly in the bottom 6 again this season. They value his contribution and he will continue to wear the A.
Combine that with re-upping a bottom pairing UFA defenseman and it's pretty clear they know the term cap flexibility, but don't actually know what it means.

He meant Puljujärvi. The Preliminary Future Considerations Top 30 for 2016 has him ranked #3, with Matthews at #1.

Carl is ranked #5 on TSN's leaguewide UFA tracker.

Not a great talent pool. With hindsight it would've been great to have traded him at deadline, though I still think we could've done some damage if we had earned two more points and qualified for the playoffs.

To me,Eriksson is the only one who constantly goes to the net. Soderberg? Really?

Thats true but Carl is ranked #1 among forwards which makes him particularly attractive

Teams can officially start to talk to Soderberg and his agent today but not sign until July 1.
So the deadline for trading Soderberg to a team for exclusive negotiating rights is over.
But if there's more than one team that think they are close, then today (tomorrow at the latest) is the day for Sweeney to pull the trigger with one of those teams and allow them to sign him before July 1, before he can sign with anyone he chooses

No hindsight needed. It was stupid not to trade him. Especially after trading Boychuk before game 1 for the same reason (would not have given him that type of contract).

It depends pal.
All you need is two teams that want him bad enough. And by bad enough I mean not want to wait until July 1 and risk not getting him as a UFA.
If they both feel that way and really want him, let them bid against each other - and Sweeney can take the highest bidder

Not only that, but Dreger suggests 7 to 8 teams interested. Can't imagine they are at that price, but who knows. Seems pretty damn steep to me.

Well, he's the best C on the market this year. He'll get his money. No doubt about it.

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, I think with that many teams in the mix and, as you say, limited Centers on market he'll do well.
I just don't think he's worth that kind of money.

Same here. Was often left wanting more from him. Very passive for his size and did absolutely nothing in the 2nd half.
I wanted him traded at the deadline. Hanging on to him was a much worst decision than trading Boychuk before game 1...
