How many then? The rest of the season?

I'm asking because I truly don't know anymore.

I don’t know either. Not my call. But selling off on the kid now would be typical of the Bruins. Develop a player, have him go through his rough patch here, trade him and watch him flourish somewhere else.

I’ve said before. I hope management has learned from their mistakes. It’s a shame the fan base doesn’t.

I am getting whiffs of Ryan Spooner from JDB at this point. Let's package him plus a draft pick and get someone that at least comes to play every shift.

I'm getting whiffs of Heinen. Started off well early on and then his game regressed to what it is. Maybe JDB will recover and eventually become a consistent top 6 guy but we're in win-now mode for the next 2 or so years. Jake isn't contributing. He needs to go if we want to win a Cup.

I don't disagree, but that hasn't stopped them before. Back in 2014 Neely told Felger and Mazz that he was basically sick of the team trading off their young talent around the league, but then less than a year later they dealt Hamilton for scraps and even turned down higher picks when they could've just dealt Eriksson to Vancouver for their 1st round pick for more cap space.

That’s why I said “hope” haha. I’m not even against trading DeBrusk, per say. But it needs to be a deal that makes sense. A legit piece coming back. Not a Jimmy Hayes for example.

Spooner, Donato and Heinen are not exactly NHL household names. Two players I wish management whould of never traded are Seguin and Wheeler. Sure they won the cup with Peverly but Wheeler has been like a 70 point player for years.

I wish management would quit picking up these players who do not add greatly towards a cup winning team come trade deadline. Go for what you really need or forget it. Should you not be able to complete the right deals then back away.

Debrusk is what he is, a very streaky player who is non contributing for a way too much of the time. Now maybe if the Bruins had more offensive talent he would not have to be counted on as much and it may work better without the added pressure. Maybe he needs a change of scenery, could be just what the doctor ordered.

Smith is a better player than Debrusk so you would need to settle for less of a return

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

 

[kthx]

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

No. I think McAvoy will be a norris candidate for the entirety of his career. He goes and our defense is done for.

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

Just a hunch here but I think you'll be sailing that Ship with a pretty light crew.

 

[Bodit9]

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

Sabres fans?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

I say no.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

Nah

They would want better players like Brendan Lemieux and Miles Wood. Bruin don't have that kind of talent

I read it this AM on a popular site.

if I could get Charlie to give up his Rangers dream and sign a lifetime deal here I would not make the deal

He is a better player now. That’s my point. When Boston traded him, he was pretty similar. When he wasn’t scoring, he was bringing nothing and his scoring was inconsistent as it gets his final year in Boston.

Eichel is a great talent but it seems like so far early in his career he has an on off switch that is in the off position way to often. McAvoy on the other hand has a boat load of talent and doesn't take a night off. Me personally I wouldn't do it straight up for McAvoy, let alone throw in TFred.

I honestly think McAvoy will be here for 10-15 years Bruins aren't letting him get away unless they get overwhelmed with a deal and have an heir apparent in place.

DeBrusk to me is done in Boston. Only reason he's still in the line up is value, Scratch him like he should be or trade him while he has some value.

Every game he plays that value is dropping like a lead balloon.

You really think 15 games is enough to plummet his value?

He looks like a kid that wants out to me.

 

[BAD BOY]

I’m not

 

[BAD BOY]

I’m not

I agree with you. I’m against trading either Pasta or Mac for Eichel. If that’s what it takes I’ll pass. It’s not happening anyway but just thought I post anyway.

 

[Absurdity]

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

DeBrusk + Studnicka + Vaakanainen + Moore (cap) + another prospect + two 1sts

I don't see many teams that can afford Eichel's cap hit give up their McAvoy or Pastrnak.

 

[Kegs]

McAvoy and Frederic for Eichel. Who is in?

Absolutely not. Mcavoy is one of the best defence in the world.
