Proposal: EDM / BOS / CGY

[guzzy]

Serious question to all posters on HF. when is a player stop being a prospect? Is it a regular NHL gig? More than one season? Two?

i think after two seasons for a forward. D and goalies can take longer to understand what you have.
You can see what they bring and what potential they may offer. In Holloway's case, 13 points in 73 career games doesn't shout prospect. It looks more like third line player at best.

So DeBrusk, Lysell, Forbort, a 1st and retention to rent Hanifin? Hard pass and Im not even a big DeBrusk fan.

It’s of course way too much, but there is no way Hanifin puts on a Bruins sweater and puts on a different sweater in the autumn.

Bruins are giving up wayyyy too much here.

Debrusk, Lysell, a first & Forbort?

No thanks. Bruins wing depth is shit, this makes it so much worse lol

I mean, a third liner and getting better is what he is now, at a young age.

I think it’s interesting how people on a board like HF can have wildly different definitions of the word “prospect”. It doesn’t mean “future superstar”.

probably the case, but unless the deal comes with an extension its still a rental trade

Calgary isn't. Holloway isn't a top prospect.

Your entitle to your opinion but there isn't one Edmonton fan that is willing to move him in this deal.

Edmonton stays out of this trade. Boston can deal with Calgary direct or wait until the summer for Hanifin to run as fast as he can to Boston.

That's the danger of judging a player purely on box scores. Holloway has looked really good up with the big club. He scored a gutsy goal the other night. I think we have a player here, more top six than bottom six. Time will tell.
