News Article: Krug, Smith absent from B's golf tourney as camp nears

[TD Charlie]

They all love them some Jordan Caron!

Perfect.

Joe Haggerty ‏@HackswithHaggs
Bruins have made just 2 offers to Torey Krug: a perfunctory qualifying offer & same 1-yr, $1.25M that Bartkowski signed for. Not good enough

Woof. I know there's the whole bargaining power thing right now, but that's just insulting.

 

[TD Charlie]

Hmmm....


New YorK RangErs
CoLumbus BLue Jackets
New York Islanders

Ottawa SeNators
Toronto Maple Leafs
Montreal Canadiens
Buffalo Sabres
Detroit Red Wings

Well, it IS 8 teams...

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Alright, enough of that!! I'll leave you with this mystery to solve:

What do the Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres and Columbus Blue Jackets have in common?

Vile isn't good enough to attend any of these teams' camps ?

Teams that will finish ahead of the Bruins this year ?

They're the closest teams to Ottawa.

But seriously, they're the closest teams to Ottawa and therefore, you know who's list I would guess.

What a joke of an offer, starting point or not.

Did Chia see Jarmo yesterday and say "Yeah, that looks like a great idea!"

 

[MTaylorJ1]

Are there non-stops from Columbus to Ottawa? Serious question. If a player whose family was based in Ottawa originally was going to create an 8 team list, wouldn't it be 8 cities with numerous direct flights to Ottawa?

Philly would have been a better choice. Maybe even DC.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

That's assuming you believe Haggs...

Say the B's did start at $1.25m and Krug's camp was asking for $4.25m. Meeting half way puts that deal at $2.75m, which is not bad at all for either side (as a bridge deal).

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Indeed.

Smart move by Krug's agent leaking that info to Haggerty with the Bruins shills claiming that Krug is holding out.

You are all over this...as usual.

2.75 is more than fair IMO.

Isles on Kelly's list (check), Isles interested in Boychuk (check).



Now, what do the Isles have that would interest Boston?


Grabner? He has a good Cap hit, but has regressed since his 30 goal campaign in 2010-11.

Clutterbuck? Love the physicality, but 2.75m is a lot for just a hitter.

Hamonic? Okposo? Both of these guys would be ideal, but that's not happening.

I don't really know the Isles well enough to say whether or not they would be a good fit.

Brock. Nelson.

I'm getting myself too excited over something that won't happen.

Josh Bailey? Former 1st round pick that hasn't quite found a groove.. He could do better under a Julien type system.

Matt Carkner? A hard-nosed right shot D that could slide in for Boychuk... Not saying that he replaces him, but just move the entire right side depth chart up one notch.

I don't want to see Boychuk traded though. My hope is that they can find a way to keep him as part of the core.

Perhaps if NYI is interested in Kelly and Bailey has indeed fallen out of favor, something around Kelly, McQuaid/Bartkowski for Bailey?

Edit: checked Bailey's cap hit and realized it would not work...

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Brock. Nelson.

I like Nelson a lot.

I didn't include him because I was looking for a guy that could play RW, and I believe Nelson is a LH shooting LW. If he was part of a bigger deal, I would be totally down with nabbing him.

My AOF crazy trade proposal for the day (with some help from BJC):

Marchand, Kelly, Boychuk, Subban, Spooner

for

Nelson, Hamonic, Clutterbuck


Yeeee-haaaaa!! lol

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Brock. Nelson.

Nelson, Grabner, Boulton for Boychuk, Batkowski, Caron

We're not getting a 30 goal scorer who hasn't regressed for Boychuk and Kelly though.

How did we manage to find the one team almost as left handed as us to trade with?

 

[MTaylorJ1]

Nelson, Grabner, Boulton for Boychuk, Batkowski, Caron

I was wondering who the goon du jour everyone would start throwing into trades from the Islanders would be.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

He regressed to 12g/14a in 64 games. At that pace I would rather Clutterbuck (12g/7a in 73), who will hit everything that moves in addition to chipping in with some goals.

 

[BoyntBergie]

If you're looking for an affordable bottom-6 option from the Isles who gives you some sandpaper, Matt Martin should be the target. He obviously wouldn't be the center piece of a Boychuk deal (I'd hope), but he'd be a great fit here.

Probably not what they're looking for at all.

Loves me some Matt Martin.
