I'd have to think Dallas would be interested due to Gonchar's injury (3-5 weeks) and what is in my opinion a pretty thin defensive lineup.
TSN: JB/Quaider/Bart who gets the axe

I agree.
I know #55 is UFA at the end of the season but the Bruins NEED him in the lineup if they want to go deep into the playoffs.
And Chiarelli just might be able to re-sign him, all speculation that Johnny Rocket wants the huge payday to the contrary. Look at what PC did with David Krejci.
Ducks fan here, I come in peace.
I posted this in the trade rumor's thread but I want to give it a shot here too.
Boston:
Boychuk
2015 3rd Round Pick
Anaheim:
DSP
Lovejoy
Why would Boston do this? DPS fits in into the Boston mold and would flourish with consistent top-9 time. Lovejoy is a serviceable defenseman who would certainly complement Seidenberg. Additionally, a defenseman from Anaheim would have to be sent your way for a trade to make logistical sense. I wouldn't get your hopes up about Barstool Bob, our GM, trading more than one of our budding forwards (DSP, Silf, Etem, Palmieri).

We don't need Lovejoy. We'd still have too many Dmen that are NHL ready without Boychuck here.
DSP is interesting, but we would need more for Boychuck.

Going to happen soon- all are UFAs
JB and McQuaid are two of the boys and Claude and even Peter would logically actually agree here
JB would give the biggest return but conversely leave the biggest hole in room and ice
McQuaid is more experienced and physical than Bart
Injury history means nothing - they are all likely one year and done so no investment
Logic is what economics looks for
It's got to be bye bye Bart, no?
going by Sunday by 6 PM (and scouts will be watching 51 in Bridgeport tonight to my chagrin) Bruins will package and look for second in next year draft in any deal

They've been picked through .. Basically Richie Rich and that's it maybe I'm missing someone
I guess it's more just expectations that actual play. He has looked alright in preseason but I just really don't think Bart has the ability to be a #4. Maybe playing with Seids would help, but I don't want to depend on him for those minutes, which is what happened last year.
I think he has some amazing hockey skill and he's a very good skater, but he struggles to make the right decisions in his own zone and effectively shut down the opposition. I don't think that's something he is going to learn from being forced into the #4 position again.
I really like Bart and think he could be a very solid bottom pairing guy or even possibly a #4 on a less competitive team.
Also the current d-corps is just so wonderful I don't want to lose it.

These 2 teams have looked like great trade partners for years !! You needed Centres or did ...We need RW options

Yes but Bridgeport is on his bucket list I would think? Fall foliage and the Bruins historically let the yutes play after being sent down this type of game - Sox do same

Out of the 4 forwards that you mentioned, who do Ducks fans like the most going forward? Personally, I'd go with Silfverberg, with DPS being a close second. But that's just me.
Bart could play their 2nd pair and I think awed just he getting draft pick in return, I don't think they would be in for a Boychuk trade.

My hope is we keep Boychuk and move one of MCquaid or Bartkowski. I just keep looking at our potential top 4 with Z, Dougie, Seids, and Boychuk and get really excited about how good that could be.
Problem is which one of McQuad or Bart do we trade?
We have a problem with team speed, Bart alleviates that somewhat.
Some feel like we may have a problem with team toughness, McQuaid helps solve that.
I really like McQuaid, but I think we would be best off moving him and keeping Bart.
Bart seems more versatile and doesn't have the injury history that Mcquaid has.
It is pretty much a wash to me. I just hope it isn't Boychuk.
