Proposal: How Boston Retools and Stays A Contender

[BlackFrancis]

100% agree about AP. Hedman is head and shoulders above McAvoy. Like comparing Potvin to
Mike O'Connell.

Hedman didn't make the leap from being Brandon Carlo to Victor Hedman until his age 23 season, which Charlie hasn't participated in yet.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

One of them is Dubois

How is Dubinsky not ending up on LTIR?
Lots of $$$ there.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Hedman didn't make the leap from being Brandon Carlo to Victor Hedman until his age 23 season, which Charlie hasn't participated in yet.

Come on man, Hedman is 6:06 with terrific talent.
Closest thing to Pronger, Robinson and Chara
the NHL has ever had.

McAvoy will never dominate like Hedman does. Just
doesn't have the size to.

The proper analogy is Robinson to O'Connell.

 

[Dr Quincy]

1. Columbus doesn’t have 2021 2nd

2. We don’t need Krejci

Boone Jenner + Alex Wennberg = 16 goals 30 assists in 127 games $8.65m
David Krejci 13 goals, 30 assists in 61 games $7.25m

Need? No.

A better team with him? Yeah.

 

[BB88]

In the real world Boston needs Hall & Pietrangelo.

OEL & Hanifin are rearranging the chairs on The USS Bruin heading towards an iceberg named Tampa Bay.

McAvoy #1D
OEL/Hanifin #2D
Carlo #3D
Gives you a pretty good Dcore, better than the current one they won the presidenths trophy.

That's a pretty cool story, dude.

All those tall fellas, aside from Chara, all broke out at age 23. Chara took until age 25.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Boone Jenner + Alex Wennberg = 16 goals 30 assists in 127 games $8.65m
David Krejci 13 goals, 30 assists in 61 games $7.25m

Need? No.

Columbus's center core is easily their weak point.
I even ate over $2M to bring the cap hit to 4.9M.
The guy even watched Krejci in the PO against
Columbus...lol.

 

[ViD]

You center group is weak. Krejci automatically increases
its effectiveness on PP alone.

We are looking for a permanent solution at 2C so we need a youngish player signed long term, not a season long rental 34 year old

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Well that's a "cool story" that's factual. Pronger, Robinson, Chara and Hedman by far are the best
giants to lace them up. Who cares when they broke out?

You'll be waiting to you're in a casket decked out in black
Francis if you think McAvoy will ever impact the game
the way Hedman has two years running.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

What a mess that was lol

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Yeah sorry DeBrusk+Pastrnak doesn't return Tkachuk+#3 pick Pastrnak is good but come on that's insane.

Pasta is a proven superstar on a value contract. You really are over rating that pick.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Who cares when they broke out?

People with the ability to use reasoning skills, when those luminary giants are compared to a guy who just completed his age 22 season.

Apples to apples.

Oranges to oranges.

Tongue baths to tongue baths.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

What is this

 

[KillerMillerTime]

McAvoy #1D
OEL/Hanifin #2D
Carlo #3D
Gives you a pretty good Dcore, better than the current one they won the presidenths trophy.

If that's the best they can do it won't be good enough
to beat Tampa. It's AP or bust.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

People with the ability to use reasoning skills, when those luminary giants are compared to a guy who just completed his age 22 season.

Apples to apples.

Oranges to oranges.

Tongue baths to tongue baths.

You keep believing McAvoy will be as impactful as
Hedman someday. You and Charlie's relatives will
be the only ones on the planet believing that.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Pasta is a proven superstar on a value contract. You really are over rating that pick.

That's the thing though. A couple of people think
Ottawa gets hosed (I already said w/o signing at
least AP and Hall, I don't do it) and others think
Boston does. That usually means there is close
value.

 

[BlackFrancis]

You keep believing McAvoy will be as impactful as
Hedman someday. You and Charlie's relatives will
be the only ones on the planet believing that.

Go ahead and point out where I said he would.

Your intellectual dishonesty is shameful.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pasta is a proven superstar on a value contract. You really are over rating that pick.

Just because he's a proven superstar on a stacked Bruins squad, Doesn't mean he will in Ottawa his numbers will go down big time on that team.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Yeah sorry DeBrusk+Pastrnak doesn't return Tkachuk+#3 pick Pastrnak is good but come on that's insane.

My god yes it does a 23 year old top 10 player in the NHL can without a doubt return more than that

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Chara is cooked, I seen ppl spell out his season stats but in the playoffs he looked like a 6 to 7 deeman at best. No reason to have him back blocking Zboril or Vaak.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

While we're at it: you want to offer sheet Cirelli for the value of 4 1sts. Just keep your 1sts and we'll give you Cirelli for Pastrnak. As long as we're going to ruin Boston, let's do it right!

 

[doomscroll]

My god yes it does a 23 year old top 10 player in the NHL can without a doubt return more than that

Pastrnak is 24, and the notion that he is a top-10 player in the NHL is very debatable.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Just because he's a proven superstar on a stacked Bruins squad, Doesn't mean he will in Ottawa his numbers will go down big time on that team.

He will still drive his line and paired with DeBrusk on his line and Chabot on D, they will do their share of scoring.
Put those 3 on the PP with Bobby Ryan and you can do worse. He'll score 30 for certain, he can drive his own line.

You must be a frustrated Wings fan still hurting from taking Zadina instead of Hughes.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Pastrnak is 24, and the notion that he is a top-10 player in the NHL is very debatable.

And what exactly do you think the chances are that the 3rd overall pick is as good as Pastrnak?

Ill give you a hint. It's not much.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

While we're at it: you want to offer sheet Cirelli for the value of 4 1sts. Just keep your 1sts and we'll give you Cirelli for Pastrnak. As long as we're going to ruin Boston, let's do it right!

$8M its 1,2 & 3rd round picks right?
