Proposal: Fowler, Trouba, or other

[mflo77]

....

to anaheim: 1st + zboril for cam fowler
to winnipeg: krug + a 2nd for trouba (2nd becomes a 1st in 2018 if bruins make conference final)

Can Don Sweeney shock the hockey world by acquiring both fowler and trouble? why not?

 

[rocketdan9]

I think he is highly valuable player, he's just had an awfull partner to play with, who he has been carrying.

He's played 22mins per game, he can play physical game, he can skate and pass. I'd have no problems seeing him on Bostons top pairing.
The problem is Jets easily biggest need is a high end defensive defenseman, someone who replaces Enstrom, he only has this+ next year left on his contract.
With Trouba their core was pretty much set, if they trade him for something else than Trouba clone they'll be chasing someone like him for who knows how long.




Fowler has been playing very well, Anaheim fans would hate to lose him rigth now.
He's been playing 23.30- 26.40min games this season, with 4 points in 5 games.
I definitely feel he's very underrated player around HF.

Why do the Ducks need to trade Fowler? A former top 5 pick, excellent skating offensively skilled D?

Its not like he is a FA after this season

Both ducks and jets puke at those offers

he was picked 12th, but in any case they don't need to trade him but they do need to trade somebody if they are going to sign Lindholm and many think Fowler makes the most sense because he'll be due for a raise in a couple years and they'd be trading from a position of strength.

They need to drop cap, and they desperately need forward help along with Lindholm signing if they want to compete. Their bottom6 is embarrassing.

Bieksa has NMC, Stoner was waived and no one took him, Despres has bad concussion problems, he can't be traded.

That leaves 2 contracts, Vatanen who was just re-signed and Fowler.
But the lates articlest and the way Fowler has played, the way he has been played suggest they don't want to trade him, but something has to go.

 

[ChargersRookie]

Where would the Bruins be cap wise with those two on board? Between Krug and Fowler there would about $1mil being added then you have Trouba.

Despres can certainly be traded IF the Ducks are willing to pay the price.

 

[BruinDust]

Seriously if I'm Anaheim, I'd probably move both Cogliano and Silfverberg if need be before trading Fowler. Yes they aren't all that deep up front, but I'd take my chances running a top end D-corps and figure the rest out later. Hopefully between those two get at least one NHL forward on a ELC to help fill the void.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Fowler is definitely a player the Bruins have to be on if ever on the market.

Next year:

Chara-Carlo
Krug-McCavoy
Fowler-O'Gara
C.Miller

I second that! Top flight defense is on the top of the list of maintaining a winning team.

Chara-Carlo
Krug-McCavoy
Fowler-O'Gara
C.Miller

Regardless of the Fowler issue, next year I start McAvoy off with Chara. It's like they're doing now with Carlo, showing him the ropes and helping in his adjustment to high-level pro hockey.

By this time next year Carlo, hopefully, will be ble to carry himself and help little Torey out.

Chara. McAvoy
Krug. Carlo
Zboril O'Gara
K. Miller

I like where your heads at. Forward thinking. That 3rd pair could be very good. Even a Zboril/CMiller combo might be nice. Or an O'gara/Cmiller.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Fowler could garner a good haul in a trade, not just cap space

 

[BB88]

I know Savard got traded.
Despres has 5 years left, he is seeing specialists, no one knows whats the situation with him+ Anaheim is desperate.
How likely is Despres trade truly at this point and what would it take to make it happen?

Both probably cost us a little bit more than your proposals but this is one of the few suggestions that actually make sense to trade Krug. Team would be immediate favorites to win it all. I love Krug but with how good Chara and Carlo look I think its OK to move him if the end result is the Bruins having maybe the best blueline in the league. But I would only want to move him for Trouba if we got Fowler as well. I would trade Krug+ for Lindholm and not think twice.

It would probably take a lot. Unlike Savard, there is 18.5 million actual dollars left in his contract over five years.

 

[Oates2Neely]

It doesn't seem like any trades are on horizon at the moment unless they completely fall off the tracks. Chara looks refreshed, possibly the World Cup did him some good, Carlo looks solid, Krug will be Krug soon. Liles looks smooth out there, Colin Miller looks slightly improved. Considering the rumored asking prices for the dmen potentially available, I see Sweeney staying put.

"At the moment." Things change overnight in life, never mind the NHL. Right now things are good for the Bruins but if they lose 5-1 tomorrow night and lose 4 out of the next 6 games we'll be in panic mode again... If Fowler and/or Trouba are going to be made available I would like to see Sweeney at the front of the line ready to deal.

Is Despres insured? I assume that's a big factor.

I'm sure he is at the front of the line and I'm sure hes spent plenty of time and effort on the phone to GMs about these guys.

But the other teams says Pasternak we say no only Spooner and our spot in the line drops.


2 stupid GMs are going to throw their teams season away over these kid defensemen the longer it drags out the stronger Sweeney's position becomes.


Also I can totally live with the Rangers overpaying for Trouba and giving up a huge package. Assuming he doesn't go for cheap that outcome is OK with me.

 

[LouJersey]

Fowler is my guy now. I like the thought of my right side being Carlo, McAvoy and Ogara/Chiller

Very true. If the price is right

Where did I say that I want Sweeney to overpay? You're taking a lot for granted and you're also taking for granted that another team will pay thru the nose. Being ready to make a deal doesn't mean dealing from a position of weakness. Things look good right now for the B's, but that can change in a heartbeat and if things do change and IF Winne or Ana want to make a move we need to be ready to take advantage of that and not retreat into the ground like a frightened worm.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Very good Trouba trade idea (and also add some scoring)

To Jets: Torey Krug, Ryan Spooner, Colin Miller, Jimmy Hayes, 2017 1st

To Bruins: Jacob Trouba, Drew Stafford, Ben Chiarot, Brendan Lemieux

*Trouba sign and trade (5.5 million a year for 4 years)

Bruins roster (at 100 percent health)

Marchand Bergeron Pasta
Vatrano Krejci Backes
Stafford Heinen Czarnik
Beleksky Moore Acciari
Schaller Nash

Chara Carlo
Morrow Trouba
Liles K. Miller
O'gara Mcquaid

What a horrendous trade offer. Embarrassing.
