Krejci in a pandemic with very young kids a partial NMC which can easily be manipulated into NMC by listing the Tampa, Montreal, Toronto, Buffalo, Islanders, Flyers, Rangers etc not going anywhere
I’d put it at 0.0000000001
the Devils winning the Cup
more likely than dealt
What the hell is going on with Yandle in Florida?
What a dick move.purposely ending his iron man streak so it pisses him off enough to waive his no movement clause
Read Coach Q doesn’t like him as a player
What a dick move.
If Florida wants to retain money I'd take him in Boston
Doesn't the NMC go away once he's traded?only problem is you have to protect him in expansion draft cause of his NMC
and since u can only protect 3 D
we’d be basically guaranteed to lose Carlo or Grzelyck unless we made a trade to keep them safe
Doesn't the NMC go away once he's traded?
I think Sweeney will make a trade with Seattle to avoid losing Carlo or Gryz.
So let me get this straight:
If you say "they are not getting Barkov" it is fact
But if someone says "they should target Barkov" it is opinion?
Anyway, I don't believe a play for Barkov will come via trade, but rather free agency.
If he wants to come home which by all accounts he does, there is no reason to think he wouldn't alter it.No, they changed that in the last CBA so that NMC/NTC stay intact. I believe Yandle himself could alter the contract though to drop the NMC, and that is the only way the Bruins should consider it (though I don't think they should at all).
From what I found Florida is going to bench him to force his hand to waive his NTC. That is way different than the Chara situation.The Yandle situation isn’t all that different than the message Sweeney gave Chara...
Obviously don’t know the conversations they’ve had or when they started, but on its face telling Yandle he might not be an every day player on the team going forward and telling Z the same are pretty clear messages to consider playing elsewhere.From what I found Florida is going to bench him to force his hand to waive his NTC.

If they didn't see Yandle in their plans they should have traded him before camp
I just find it strange that they would do this to a guy who had 45 points in 69 games last year.Obviously don’t know the conversations they’ve had or when they started, but on its face telling Yandle he might not be an every day player on the team going forward and telling Z the same are pretty clear messages to consider playing elsewhere.

That is what makes this whole situation so perplexing not to mention he's one of their leaders.I'm not sure Florida, a team that can barely draw any fans at all, should be threatening players...
Krejci picks teams can go toId throw a thousand and one down on that 0.0000000001
I don't know. If the Bruins falter for any reason, I just cant see why you wouldn't move him out for prospects/ picks.
His no trade clause is modified to half the teams, so there will be a lot of interest if Sweeney chooses that path, and if he doesn't make any significant changes to improve the Bruins chances, imo why not move him.

I know it won’t happen but I’d be curious to see a debrusk + Grz for hanifin and Bennett framework deal
I like debrusk so hard to give him up and trading his output for Bennett and his “maybe” potential for more.
I wish Hanifin was a little more physical too but who knows if he will mature into something more.
I’m sure pieces need to be added to even things off maybe, but that would be a little shake up to the guys. Edit..not that I think the team desperately needs a big shake up. But maybe if things played out right.
thank you for your time.
I like this a lot but pipe dream!I hope so.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that if Sweeney could find a way to trade for PLD this year and sign Barkov in summer 2022 (when he's still only going to be 27) it could be franchise changing.
Barkov is likely to be a rare point per game player for the next 7-8 years. Getting him for his 27, 28, 29, 30 & 31 year old seasons could be the 2nd best FA signing this team has ever made.
2022 - 2023
Marchand - Barkov - Pasta
PLD - Bergeron - Smith
Bjork/Lauko/? - Coyle - Steen/Studnicka?
Would be pretty impressive.
Bergy should call PLD and tell him to come and learn from the bestI never said PLD wasn't a legit 25 goal guy
