I crack up when I see people talking about trading Johnny Boychuck. It is not going to happen. He is one of our 5 most valuable heart and soul players and quite frankly IMO deserves an A on his shoulder at some point.
Chiarelli needs to get rid of guys like SPOONER, Ko Ko, SUBBAN, Bartkowski, and perhaps in the right deal a Marchand or a Krug or Louie.
Inginla needs to be signed for one more kick at the can here.
The guys above are youngsters we do not need. Rask is signed for 6 more years I think. We do not need SUBBAN. Spooner is just not a Bruin type player. Especially at Center with who we have and he is no winger and I have no desire for that experiment. Same with Ko Ko........Bartkowski can be moved easily for a pick or in a bigger deal. Same with KRUG in my opinion if we can get a better Dman.
And if we can get a premier DMAN....which most here don't think. And I know its hard, I would include Marchand for that player.
Looch-Krejci-Iggy
Smitty-Bergie-???....Or MARCHY if we keep him.
?????-Soda-Louie
Paille-Soupy-Kelly Lets not give up on the merlot line. Way to early for that and Kelly is actually the perfect replacement for Thornton.
I say we go on D
HAMILTON--?????
Chara....Boychuck
Seids---Miller
Krug as a PP point guy or trade bait for a number 2 guy.
McQauid-Miller........
We need a dman to play with Dougie and it needs to be someone who has not been on the team yet. I am confident Chiarelli will get this guy somewhere.
