I wouldn't trade Kassian. Showing he can produce like a third liner. Nearly a ppg in his past 9 games.
or you could say another boston edm thread would like to stay away any where from teams our past gm traded with or worked forOh another DeBrusk to Edmonton Traded proposal how original. DeBrusk is it playing great and still on a entry level contract for another year why would we trade him.
I'm sorry, but you are VALUING a 28-year old winger based on his PAST NINE GAMES???

This is true. Kassian will have significant value to a lot of playoff teams.Nine games, yes, this will tell you something. Sure looks good right now. The problem? Kassian disappears for long stretches. When he gets motivated, such as in the playoffs, he is a genuine pleasure to watch. Hitting, scoring, skating, are all inspiring. You wonder where this player has been all year, save for a spat of games. Then the regular season starts again and his listless play gets him sent right down to the 4th line again. Frustrating.
That he is inconsistent is to put it gently. However if you're looking for a nice surprise when games matter pick him up for the playoffs. He'll become a fan favorite and he won't cost too much.
Gross.
Too bad the guy that had the obsession with Kassian already brought him to his team.
My guess is RNH.
If there's a deal to be made, that's another question. But RNH seems like a logical need from the Bruins side.
The Oilers and Bruins have been scouting each other heavily (Providence Bruins as well). What kind of deals could you see going through between the two teams?
Nuge for Debrusk+?
Pulju for Donato/Heinen+?
Chiasson/Kassian for pick/prospect?
Not saying either teams should do these, just wondering what kind of deals they could be exploring.
Trading Nuge when he's finally building off that rookie season performance would be beyond stupid.
Chiasson or Kassian for picks I could see
Pulju for Donato + JFK? That's something I would do.
There were rumors at one time that we coveted Krug. Does anyone think that he might be available?
Yeah, 8 is the bare minimum. We could easily see 9-9.5.
Your second trade makes so much sense if Gretzky has the + in mind that he drafted and believes can be a part of the Oiler future group. He also knows all the D prospects front to back and could target Lauzon or Zboril on top of one of the forward prospects and have a win-win situation for the Oilers and Bruins.
Then that would leave a huge hole in 2LW, it would be better to trade NOT to Edmonton but another team a existing RW "Backes salary retained" + picks, prospects, for a upgrade on RW.Debrusk should only go in a package for a significant upgrade at RW.
I agree with the not trading with Edmonton part and I also don’t want to trade JD buuuut no one is taking Backes, this team has truck loads of Left Shot Left Wings in the system, heck Heinen, Celarhik, Donato and Bjork say hi. It’s a position of strength, and they should deal from there. JD is the one I would part with last, but as the center piece for a legit RW which this system severely lacks, I would consider it.Then that would leave a huge hole in 2LW, it would be better to trade NOT to Edmonton but another team a existing RW "Backes salary retained" + picks, prospects, for a upgrade on RW.

We don’t overly need more D prospects. Particularly not offense devoid LHD. Our top two LHD are 25 and 23 years old. Two of the top performing Barons this year are Jones and Lagesson, both LD. Our 2nd best prospect in Junior is a LHD. Not really seeing the fit.
I wonder if it's for Heinen + a Bruins forward that Gretzky likes but the Oilers scouts are unfamiliar with; hence them going to see what he is all in for moving. It could be Hughes or it could be JFK.
I'd imagining Heinen gets Puljajarvi's spot and the scouts have to approve of Gretzky's second piece before making the move so that's why they are in Providence.
Imagine a whopper trade right out of left field between these two.
Like a Pastrnak/McAvoy for McDavid plus 6 other humans being thrown in to balance things out.
Would be awesomely terrifying for both fan bases. Even the whole league.
Anyhoo, back to swapping 4th rounders!
Kassian is a meathead who can’t play a lick of hockey. We have Wagner as a physical 4th line presence, absolutely ZERO need for that stiff Kassian.
Bruins need a 3rd line center. Nugents Hopkins is a 2nd line center, and makes too much money to be cast as a 3rd line center. And I wouldn’t want to pay him 6m to be miscast as a top 6 winger.
Oilers fans like DeBrusk. But so do Bruins fans. Kid is really good and will only improve. No chance you’re acquiring him for your scrubs. Klefbom Nurse aren’t getting you DeBrusk. Neither is Puljujarvi or Yakowhatever his name is. Neither is a mid to late 1st. To get DeBrusk Oilers would need to put Draisaitl on the table. And I’m guessing they aren’t interested in doing that. And even then, I think Draisitl is overpaid
