Steen stays, who is most likely to be claimed?

[Blowfish]

I mean, I don't need to remind anyone, but the last sentence... has kinda been the story during Sweeney's tenure.

 

[Blowfish]

Nobody will be waived

I would say DS makes a trade(s).... when that time comes

Steen doesnt have to go through waivers at the moment

Both Foligno and Nosek signings didnt make sense imo. Especially Nosek. Bruins have a crowded house at Providence with very little opportunity for movement, unless due to injury/covid protocol

We've been saying this for last 5 -7 years. Never happens. Time to waive already!

He traded Vatrano

Dont need to waive unless no choice

Frederic, Blidh, Kuhlman should return picks

 

[ON3M4N]

Frederic would be claimed by a good chunk of the NHL.

KK - does nothing for me and on most teams isn't a thought for even a 13th forward role

Blidh - seems like he's always getting hurt, but is a solid 4LW/13th FWD.

Seeing as Steen would be your RW and that's what KK plays, he can we waived.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Frederic is 100% the one that would get claimed, Blowfish you went through a lot of trouble just to have it proven that yes in fact, you are crazy

but it's ok, we're the lunatic fringe for a reason

Poll shows I'm not alone in lunatic fringe LOL ....We all have opinions.

@Blowfish has a hard-on for giving away Frederic so he wants to see if he's on an island. Most people here know that Frederic gets claimed over anyone due to his age, size, play style and position.

If Frederic clicks, he's a Top 9 center with a good shot and physicality. Not sure he'll ever really be an enforcing type presence but he has shown in Providence that he'll stand up for teammates and play a physical game. I don't understand why it's so inconsistent up here but that's a discussion for another thread.

This question is easy. You waive the 100 MPH (to nowhere) man, Karson Kuhlman. He'd be a good get for Providence if he clears and you're not losing much if he doesn’t.

He's pretty much on an island. I doubt even Sweeney is stupid enough to waive an NHL player when he can send Steen back to Providence with no waivers. Otherwise I waive Kuhlman first, Blidh second and I think both would go unclaimed.

I know the chances are small but if they deal for grit I can't wait for Blowfish to lose his mind as he will have more turtles to hate. Be like if Sweeney dealt DeBrusk for Yamamoto with me.

Frederic is not going anywhere in my humble opinion .Khulman has to go though .Steen is a better player.

Regarding your first part, this is exactly the issue our young players have with the organization though. Kuhlman and Blidh are definitely NHL caliber players but Steen is just better and anyone with two eyes can see that. However, since Steen has options and management is obsessed with hoarding 4th liners, they are left to rot, consistently being flipped up and down depending on injuries. Never getting a full chance with the club and an extended look on a given line.

Steen is better than Kuhlman so KK should be waived. End of story IMO.

 

[UncleRico]

Frederic is the obvious choice.

Brendan Lemieux was traded for a 4th rounder at his age 25 season. Both late 1st rounders. Frederic is two years younger and producers similarly. Frederic can also play both left wing and center.

He would be claimed in a second and would be awful asset mismanagement.

Unfortunately I think a 4th would be best case scenario for a return for frederic. Brett Howden who has had a much better career to this point and was selected a few spots before frederic was traded for a 4th.

I would tend to agree. Definitely not waiver fodder

 

[The National]

Given the state of the league and Covid I could see them all get claimed, low cap hits and a team can always just waive them again if needed.

But Frederic would be claimed first, I don’t think it’s even a question considering age, draft position, price, upside, and unknown.

 

[The National]

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Kuhlman. Every team has 3-5 of them in the AHL.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

How is this even a goddamn controversy?

(Not criticizing the post, just really hoping Donny actually doesn't do what he usually does. Send down the kid so we can dress Karson Kuhlman every other game because of "he hustles and tries real hard".

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

According to some, even a 3rd round pick in one of the upcoming drafts should be pretty good.

Kuhlman isn’t Vatrano he won’t bring back a 3rd, I’d have a hard time seeing him bring back anything personally.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I agree. I was just saying any draft pick would be nice at this point.

That said if he waives Kuhlman, 25% chance he's taken, with a 50% chance he's back on waivers whenever said team is healthy again.

Everybody is worth something but your right he is not fetching a 3rd.That said,Steen has proved who the better player is here very quickly far as putting some pts on the stat sheet which should matter to a team looking for goals .Bruins do some weird stuff at times though so who knows

 

[neelynugs]

i don't see the zinovjev choice in the poll

Sometimes all a player is worth is a team’s roster spot.

Yup Bruins could use him as part of a deal or play Khulman rest of the season who knows.

Maybe not a third. But a later pick

If waived, some team would scoop him up imo

excellent wheels/forechecker. Good on pk

Yeah maybe, but those aren’t very hard to find. If he’s holding a spot from better players he needs to be waived.

Looking like a landslide. We’ll go 48 hours to give all a chance but results and comments pretty evident.

We already have other threads for where these discussions within are heading.

Bottom line is that this came from another thread. Question asked. Now just about answered.
