Player Discussion Lauzon or Zboril

[BAD BOY]

Do it! For a reasonable cost. I rather give up a low level prospect instead of a draft choice.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Isn't this type of deal that should have been done at the draft? I don't really get what Seattle is doing in general.

 

[PB37]

Just for fun:

Lauzon — McAvoy
Reilly — Carlo
Forbort — Clifton

Trade Grzelcyk + DeBrusk in a deal for a center?

It's not an awful idea. I like Lauzon and I thought he was a victim of some bad luck that butchered his stats, both conventional and advanced.

Who's the target for center?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I'll play along cause I hope it is true...Oscar Steen & Calgary's 3rd? Toss in Zboril too for all I care.

Lauzon can play either side, he can play third pair on the right side next to Reilly and then PK on the left side.

Screw it, let’s toss in Lysell and Lohrei right? For all I care...

That’s what smarter people need to decide. I think that Grzelcyk + DeBrusk + prospect + pick is a solid package though.

 

[TwineTickler]

Thanks. Never seen them before so not aware. I’d welcome it for the right price. Not sure I’d do a 2nd.

He was a 2nd and he's a budding top 4D (hopefully)... And at least a solid 3rd pair guy at 24. I think that's absolutely worth a 2nd considering the chances a 2nd are impact players in the NHL is slim and Lauzy had already more or less made it. I'd love to give up less obviously but I'd make that deal.

Maybe just Grz for Dvorak? A top 4 D for a top 6 C sounds about right.


Marchand -- Bergeron -- Smith

Hall -- Dvo -- Pasta

DeBrusk -- Haula -- Coyle

Foligno -- Nosek -- Lazar

Freddie, Senyshyn coming off the bench

Like this. I wonder if Seattle might do lauzon + a coupe decent draft picks for Grzelcyk. I think Reilly could fill the void left with Grzelcyk moved

 

[Beesfan]

Seattle has a better left side than we do:

Giordano
Oleksiak
Dunn
Soucy
H. Fleury
Chowloski
Lauzon

Lauzon is no better than the 6th best guy on just the left side, and one could easily argue, as I would, that he is #7, behind Chowloski. That means Seattle, and expansion team, could conceivable field two lineups, and Lauzon wouldn't make either one of them.

I believe Lauzon will not make the team, and Seattle will try to move him prior to putting him on waivers. That is the time to get him back for a mid-level prospect on an entry level deal that is not subject to waivers (e.g. Steen or Hall).

Because tossing in a 2015 1st round fringe NHL defensemen with little to no value is the same as tossing in our most recent first and second round picks…

very smart, I’ll be sure to watch out for more posts from you because like I said…very smart.

I’m a big fan but I don’t think Boston is lying Foligno 4M a year to play on the 4th line.

 

[Absurdity]

Lauzon isn't a top pairing defenseman.

 

[inactive user]

Bring Lauzy back!

 

[JOKER 192]

Lauzon isn't a top pairing defenseman.

Neither is Grizz. I would love to see him back in Boston.

 

[JOKER 192]

Bingo, that's why I think either he or Coyle get 1st dibs at 2C .

Grzelcyk at least has the numbers to back it up when paired with McAvoy.

I can't get a read as to what Sweeney is trying to do. Is he going to be bringing back Lauzon to be a 7th defenseman? If they wanted to keep Lauzon so much, why not make a deal with Seattle in the first place to draft someone else? There's no way Reilly or Forbort were brought here and paid the way they are to be 7th defensemen. Only thing I can think of is that they are potentially thinking of moving Grzelcyk. Lauzon, Reilly, and Forbort isn't good enough at LD though.

Seattle made zero trades before the draft. Didn’t seem as if they were open for business.

Lauzon can play the right side, so it would be a Clifton play here.

 

[LSCII]

Lauzon isn't a top pairing defenseman.

Which means he'll fit right in with the rest of the defense not named McAvoy...

Huge overpay.

Ya, I don't get it either but trading Grizz seems like the only option if Lauzon comes back

I think it's more a statement on McAvoy than Gryz's level of play, TBH.

 

[PepeBostones]

Lauzon because he fills a need. I hope they bring him back. He's only $900k against the cap and is already better than Forbort or at least equal and much cheaper. He could also be the choice to play against bigger and tougher opponents while they could rest Reilly. Lauzon will be huge this year.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Huge overpay.

For who?

 

[whitetape]

For who?

I assumed Dvorak.

 

[mjhfb]

Lauzon is still developing and no one knows for sure what the finished product will be. With Krug and Chara leaving he was rushed, slotted higher than he normally would have been, then injured. But the Bruins valued him so much they played him over other options, in key situations, even with a cast on his hand.
That being said, not sure why they would let him go, acquire a more expensive replacement, then try to get him back.
