Rumor: Coyotes and Bruins talking

[WrinkledPossum]

Why, why, why, why would Dvorak be the odd man out.

Zboril will be 25 this season and has like 30 NHL games played. I that’s not worth much at all. Like a 3rd round pick at most.

Not sure I agree but we can disagree on this if you like. Defensemen take longer anyway, from what I saw he's a complete player and he played 42 games for the Bruins last year in a shortened season (17 minutes a game). He's no Vince Dunn but imo a defensively responsible 3rd pairing guy with upside (or at least ppl thought he had upside back when he was drafted in 2015).

Am 100% ok taking him as part of a package if we're able to cap dump OEL. We'll see what happens later -- today should be interesting

I would MUCH rather trade Dvo/Garland to get into the Top 10 then trade them for anything Boston has.

Because he gets you into the top 10 of the draft.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I feel like Dvorak alone can’t get you into the top 10 of the draft. He’s got a great contract and is a solid center man but his ceiling is low and he’s really just a 3rd line center on a contending team

 

[jdfitz12]

would we do garland for #8 (Kings)?

Bruins fan here, I am suspecting Debrusk is the piece going back to you guys for Dvorak, one for one.

Damn, that's crazy. lmao

This would be viewed as a disappointment.

Zboril is a good defenceman and will only get better as he plays more.
He spent some time on our second PP unit and plays the body very well.
Our dee was pretty deep last year with McAvoy, Carlo,Gryz, Cliffy, Miller and Lauzon, so it was hard for him to get playing time.
When he did play he was playing 17 mins a night.

Because he's the guy other teams want and will bring a 1st Rd pick.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Debrusk 1 for 1 would be damn near Hall Larsson levels of terrible, with the deals Army has made over his short tenure here I'd be very surprised to see him get that little value back.

A controlled 2C for your replacement level winger, sure

Which is probably what's being negotiated. It won't be a straight up player for pick.

Thanks for visiting! Appreciate the insight.

But... Debrusk for DVo 1-1 makes absolutely no sense for us unless a sweetener included -- we're short on centers and have enough wingers for next year at least.

Also, this board is high on DVo and low on OEL at his current contract -- and it looks like the Bruins do have some cap space now that Krejci is off the books. Not sure if AZ is looking to cap dump but maybe OEL + Garland for Zboril and a few more draft picks? Boston's 1st is #21 (unfortunately no 2nd rounder this year), obviously moving OEL would help us recover from taking on GhostBear and Ladd

That’s ridiculous. You’d have to add your 1st and Studnicka. DeBrusk sucks. Dvorak is twice the player. And a center.

I would. But only if the plan is to tear everything down. Bummer McTavish jumped up the rankings at the last minute. Tough having to draw from the grab bag of “maybe” centers instead. Nobody seems to know if Johnson, Sillinger, or Lucius are centers or wingers.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

Yah I agree. Boston really doesn't have anything that interests me. It's all spare parts with mostly 3rdline, 2nd pairing upside. Or later in the round picks.

Spare parts are fine for OEL, but not for Garland or Dvorak.

I like Studnicka. Great prospect. Culture changer. Big, strong, nasty center. Plays with and edge. But he’s not a 1st line player. Very likely not a 2nd line player.

I think Lohrei is the main target. USHL player on a major upswing. Studnicka is just there to make trading someone like Dvorak palatable. You can tell yourself he might respond to AT's coaching.

Lol
We have a different GM now in case you are wondering.

Lohrei is old as shit for the USHL. Wasn’t he a draft re-entry LAST year? He’s gigantic, powerful, and way too old. Of course the USHL is child’s play for him. Obviously the pandemic is to blame for this and not him, but I’m skeptical of his production due to his level of competition relative to his physical prowess. He’s a great prospect and I’d love to add him. I’d probably take him in the top 35 of this draft. But he could EASILY be fool’s gold.

Bruins pool just isn’t exciting at all.

The Flyers and Oilers are being so nice by showing what terrible asset management is right now; I don't think Bill Armstrong wants to upstage them by making a deal this stupendously bad.

Sounds like Dim Jim still can't help himself
