Rumor: OFFICIAL Bruins Trade Deadline Rumors & Proposals thread.

[Nothingbutglass]

one goal in his last 30+ games with no defense Domi?

You would have called Sweeney a f***ing loser.

Domi's bulbs dont burn at the correct wattage. I dont think the Bruins are interested in that type of player. Teams seem to dump him pretty fast.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

We have DeBrusk who doesn't like Cassidy, 3rd line minutes with bums, or being healthy scratched.

If DeBrusk can have a series or two during the playoffs like he did pre Kadri hit, he will sell higher, and we will be happy.

I expect DeBrusk to keep playing well. He respects Bergeron and Marchand a ton.

DeBrusk signed that deal early to help the team get full value. He could have stuck to his guns, but instead left $400k on the table which only helps the team. I think you're 100% right that he respects his teammates, and a killer playoff run could help the Bruins get a haul for him in the offseason.

I like both moves Sweeney made, but I think most, including myself, were expecting one more significant move considering:

A) cap space was freed up on the Lindholm deal, and

B) Sweeney reportedly had a proposal for Giroux (including different pieces from what landed Lindholm) that was ideal for the Flyers had Giroux not nixed the deal.

My guess is teams upped their offers for Sweeney's consolation prizes and decided it wasn't worth mortgaging the future, GM's may have withdrawn from offering big name/core pieces, or some rumoured names may not have been available to begin with.

B) I don't believe any of that crap. We hear all the time the Bruins are tight-lipped about everything yet this comes out?

And they did Mortgage the future giving away picks to supposedly free up cap space for another trade. I don't believe that either now.

And what rumored name was not traded as far as forwards go? They all moved EXCEPT our own Jake that not only wasn't traded was given an 8m contract to stay.

That signing took place very early in the day. My guess is they half-assed today to see if they would get lucky and hope a player fell in their laps.

No Garland. No Domi who went for a 3rd rd prospect Dman. No Subban. Does Sweeney think he’s King Arthur and his players virtuous knights of the round table? Oh no, red flag! Take a chance Donny. Teams playing Bruins in playoffs will target Bergeron knowing there is no other center, and probably no retribution cause our 8th Dman is watching the game from upstairs. All in on Debrusk being motivated!

Not to be a pessimist, but as soon as teams realize we have one actual top six C - who happens to be turning 37 - and start targeting him, it's over.

Domi is ufa after this season. Was worth a try. Ahcan alone would’ve probably got it done. It’s called center depth, no commitment past this season

It's been happening quite a bit all season long, too.

Hard playoff minutes every other night for a guy that’s taken a beating for 15 years and you don’t get anything?

 

[bruinshoper]

I think I’m in the minority, but I actually think Don Sweeney kicked ass. Obviously it would have been great to get a center, and also swap out Debruakbwith a similar skilled player. BUT the prices got crazy…and the available forwards …. May not have really fit??
He got the best player available, at a very reasonable cost.
It’s unfortunate to have cap space and no player to fill a hole, but I’m not sure I can put it on Sweeney.

 

[Matt8871]

I would have been happy with Garland for JDB and thats about it. Rakell has not been good. Domi is a problem on and off the ice, can’t play a lick of defense. Subban is laughably bad at defense, and we didn’t need him. I hate that we gave up a second for 48 hours of extra cap space, but you do what it takes to keep you in the running. There was no taylor hall this year. Kessel was not moving the needle. Domi is worse than Jake. Vancouver probably wasn’t keen on moving garland

 

[Memokerobi]

Actually wanted Copp here but that return is a big nope, glad they didn't try to match

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Has anyone said anything about being close on any deals but didn't get done? I missed the last 3 hours

yeah Sweeney ordered a sandwich but there were no doordash drivers available so the deal fell through

 

[The don godfather]

Stop being positive!

Bahahahahhahaaa!!!!!

If I dont who will.

Why wouldn’t they want Giroux? Don’t you think the owners and management group want to be legit contenders?

Yep sometimes the best deals are the deals you dont make. I remember i was gonna buy a house one car garage and so excited until another home 2 car garage came along same price bigger better street and area. Donny must have said why buy trash though I still stand a 4th for brassard for insurance was a no brainers but that's just me. I maybe wrong.

You do realize that two teams are in negotations right? So it doesn't matter if the Bruins are tight lipped, someone from the Flyers side could have leaked that they and Colorado had offers for Giroux.

I could care less of them being tight-lipped, I just don't believe they had anything in the pipeline either

Bold to think that Sweeney cleared cap space for no good reason, but you are free to believe whatever you want, just doesn't add up to me.

 

[The National]

Trades still trickling in.

Uh, what? So Chychrun, Miller, Garland, Kessel, Bertuzzi, Scheifle, Boeser, etc. were all moved then? Because like Jake, those names were absolutely thrown around the rumour mill, however unlikely it was that some of them would actually be dealt. And as far as the Giroux thing goes, I'm not going to look for the tweet confirming this. It's buried within two days worth of proposal ideas.

I'm ok with missing on rask wasn't he on waivers?

 

[The don godfather]

Hope we play Florida and we knock them out and seeing Giroux shake hands with bergy and wonder woops.

 

[Memokerobi]

I guess they weren't entertaining those ideas for TDL, might be worth re-visiting in the summer, Scheifele is a good player
