Speculation: Panarin to the Bruins

[Mick Riddleton]

I do not see him coming for the main reason he is a top line guy. There is no need for a top line guy, they have the best line in hockey. He would make too much money to play second line and second power play. Better off getting a real 2nd line winger with size or a 3rd line center but Nordstrom may have just grabbed that spot. Bruins right now cannot trade any dee, they are down to the 9th and 10th roster guys playing now.

What defenseman do the Jackets have from the 2016 draft?

I think McAvoy is clearly the best right now from that draft class. He's been a #1/2 defensman since jumping on to scene in the 2017 playoffs where he averaged 26 minutes/game straight out of college. He's been the Bruins #1 D since that point IMO. He's still only 20 years old.

I don't think he would ever be on the table for a winger like Panarin. Signed or not.

I think she is talking about "the best of his generation" part, where clearly Jones is a challenger with Z looking great so far too.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I still haven't seen a convincing argument for why Columbus would be selling at all. They're a Cup contender.

Columbus is a pretender not a contender. We always call them a 'contender' and they go and lose in the 1st round or miss the playoffs.

Panarin is going to walk. You don't want another Tavares situation where you lose a franchise player for nothing. If he gets hurt, Columbus is screwed. I would deal him sooner than later. He's made it clear he does not want to be there.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

A Defensemen like McAvoy only comes around once in a generation. He up there with Eddie Shore, Ray Bourque. Of course there will never be another Bobby Orr. That is why I would never agree to trade McAvoy

Tom Brady is a system Quarterback

Kershaw would have been a #2 in the AL.

If you are Columbus you go for it with Panarin this year. You are stuck.

And then once the season ends, probably in the 1st round, you deal with the arm chair quarterbacks. If they were going to trade him, it had to be before the season started.

edit: under the assumption that Panarin won't agree to re-up with the team you trade him to, if he does agree then the return might be at least interesting.

It just happened twice in a row (to the eventual champs), must be permanent now.

I presume, if you think it's so important that Columbus trades him, that you think they'll get something franchise-altering in the return.

I’d love for boston to get Panarin. But I don’t think that boston makes the trade without an extension in place

Krug (5Mill), Backes (5Mill), Donato and 1st for a signed Panarin.

Columbus gets two great team players in Krug and Backes for their playoff run. A high end sniper prospect in Donato to replace Panarin long term and a First.

For the Bruins

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Heinen-Krejci-Panarin
Debrusk-Frederic-Bjork

im sorry even as a bruins fan this is so wrong

Really? Backes "great", come on dude. ZERO pts in 7gp. 34.5 yrs. old + Old, injury prone/not aging well & declining #'s, struggling. Still good on FO%, big. He's a 3rd liner on a contender. Expensive $6M through 2021. Ouch. Better suited on the wing at this juncture, 3rd line.

Why would we even consider taking on Backes? We already have Dubinsky signed for 3 more years...not to mention Riley Nash, who has been a complete bust of a UFA signing. Or even Krug? We already have Werenski, Nutivaara, Murray, Kukan, Harrington, and Carlsson on the left-side. Piss poor effort on putting together a proposal. In my opinion, of course.

This is the Blue Jackets 18th season in the NHL. The Islanders had won 4 cups by the time their 18th season came around.

How many teams in league? Level of play?

16 teams still made the playoffs. Level of play? Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Ray Bourque, Paul Coffey, Mark Messier, Marcel Dionne, Denis Potvin, Denis Savard, Peter Stastny... you tell me.

You most likely won't get something franchise altering in return. But getting something as opposed to nothing......

Ottawa got a 1st, 2 2nds (one which could be another 1st) B+ Prospect, C Prospect and 2 average NHL roster players for 1 year of Karlsson.

Are you telling me that makes no difference as opposed to the Islanders who got zilch for Tavares? No way.

No difference? No. Just not enough of a difference that a "colossal error" is even possible here.

I'd certainly consider trading Panarin for that package, but I'm not going to get too excited by it. It's a San Jose 1st, so basically 3 second round picks. The Jackets aren't short on roster players so the rest is not important. So that's what all this fuss is about? The package doesn't seem that important, it might be preferable to just go for the win. My guess is that how the team plays will determine what the FO does.
