Nope we are giving up too much in this deal.

Agree, sure he has a physical edge to him, but he takes a lot of dumb penalties at the wrong time and is prone to some bone head plays.

Nurse is very overrated, he may be the Oilers best D right now, but that is not saying much. He is physical I will give him that, but he makes a lot of stupid plays and give aways and seems to take dumb penalties.

Hard to believe he once scored 30 goals. Those days are over, but can't see a deal that Calgary retains enough to make that worth it. (Anything except 40-50% retained, I wouldn't even consider, and I don't think Calgary would consider that unless the payment is worth it).
That said, outside of nostalgia, I don't think Lucic has a place here anymore.
I would be shocked if he ever agreed to come East or out of Canada for that matter.
Because of family and now still Covid travel restrictions.

Yeah kinda doubt he would wave to come back. His family on the west coast of Canada and like u mentioned Covid.
I’m just being nostalgic and missing my favorite former Bruin

Carlo may be a 4...not a three. .........They are not trading Nurse...not a chance.

Ekholm would be my first choice but he’d be expensive to acquire and then you have the expansion draft to consider.
Oleksiak is a UFA which makes things a bit less complicated. Hell, depending on what happens with the draft I’d look to sign him this summer. Dallas is far behind in games played but they really aren’t playing well. He’s an interesting name to keep an eye on.
It’s fun to read these but I don’t know if we have the assets for such a trade. Of course we have Pastrnak and McAvoy but do we want to trade them? Difficult question. I wouldn’t want to give up either even we got a young top 1 C.
Pasta and Charlie are our boys..
I agree completely, if the price to get Ekholm is too much, then a guy like Olesiak could be a good option B.
That would be a steal for the Bruins.
We could agree to take Skinner at 50% retained and then the cost to get Eichel is lower.

I think it would take more than that, and I’m not sure they’d move him, but (today’s game notwithstanding) I’d love to see Zibanejad here.

It depends what Buffalo would be looking for and what teams would be willing to offer. Would other teams that can fit Eichel's cap hit be willing to trade their Pastrnak or McAvoy? If so I don't think the Bruins have a chance. I do however think the Bruins could make a competitive offer. Another question is, do the Bruins need to go after Eichel and would they be willing to spend what it would take to get him? I do think the Bruins need to get their next #1C, but with Studnicka showing some promise the last few games and Krejci still on the team, I'm not so sure the Bruins would agree.

I really like Zibanejad. Thing is, he will turn 28 in a few months and is a UFA after this season. If he's looking for a long-term deal, is he looking to be paid as a 70pt center? That's going to be a tough contract to gauge.

Lucic was a beast when he was here, I'm not taking anything away from what he did while he was here. Would take a prime Lucic on this team or any Bruins team any day.Weren't 5 or 6 of those goals empty net goals?

If there was ever a most recent example of a player that I think opponents feared, it was prime/top-of-his-game Milan Lucic.

Funny how Nurse went from disappointment to elite the moment the Oilers were assigned to the Moose Poop division.
