Jesus Christ will this team let Krug go already..................5'9 undersized Dman is almost 30 dont tie down this team with a shit contract for 6 years.....................
I keep hoping to see that his rights have been traded because I know he’s getting one of those contracts that’s a mistake quickly

Spitballing here:

BOS: OEL, Rights to Hall
ARZ: Zboril/Vakkaneinen, Richie, 1st, 3rd

BOS: 1st
EDM: Debrusk, Moore, 2nd, Prospect

BOS: 1st
COL: Rask, 3rd, Prospect

BOS: 3rd
Rights to Krug

HALL: 8x6
ANDERSON: 3.5x2
LEHNER: 5x4

Hall Krejci Pastrnak
Marchand Bergeron Studnika
Kase Coyle Anderson
Kuraly Frederic Wagner
Senyshyn

OEL McAvoy
Gryzlyk Carlo
Lauzon Clifton
Zboril/Vakkaneinen

Lehner
Halak

Rebuilds on the fly, shakes team up, deep group, sets up the team for another 3-4 years, let's goalies develop and adds toughness and size with OEL being a bigger KRUG, Frederic beating people and Anderson hitting everything.
Adding 20 million ish and subtracting about the same. Doable.

So AP is going to play above Mac as they are both right dee, AP is the better one right now. I do not see them getting a right dee when they need a left to replace Krug and Chara. No way Mac wants to play down to the 2nd spot.

AZ I doubt does that deal. Everything else has a chance imo plus bruins would be taking on all that money as well

It would be the Leafs in reverse.

What I don’t understand with these AP and OEL supposed Bruins interest is that they drafted D in round 1+2 for years, have Lauzon-Clifton-Zboril-Vaak good enough for learning on the 3rd pairing and moving up on the cheap.

Why tie up 8+ and spending assets in OEL case when this cap space should go to a top UFA F like Hall-Hoffman-Dadonov or a trade?

Makes no sense to me.

I agree. But do you get a left who’s just a left do you have any in mind.

When you want a specific talent, regardless the position, you just want it.

They can figure out the other gaps via UFA or trades.

With AP, you know exactly what your getting...with Hoffman...its questionable

Money seems to be a wash. Agree a bit on the OEL offer but that's a pretty good offer for a team that needs space and has been bent over a barrel with this trade.

I just like the idea of adding players that want to be here.

The draft is always a crap shoot, especially where the Bruins typically pick, but even middle first rounders are as much miss as hit. I think there is a spot for one or two of them: Lauzon is adept at RD, and Cliffy is RD, so you have one spot for Zboril or Vaak on a third pair, may the best one win. Chara doesn't come back, Krug goes and you have Gryz as your best LHD. I love the guy, but he is a second pairing level guy to me- a good one in my view, but not the guy that can eat 22+ minutes a night against top lines. You can't have Zboril or Vaak doing that either, so I figure that is the reasoning behind OEL.

They seem to be in on OEL, that makes sense if Krug walks and Chara is not signed. He fills that gap or a guy like Dillon but I do not think he is a #1 guy like OEL. I just do not see grabbing a #1 RD (Petro) when we already have one in Mac.

I can’t find the reasoning with adding a 8.5M cap hit D when you have few cap space, need at F, options at D at ELC money and McAvoy watching this and having an easy request of 9M+ cause he’s better.

Someone posted a fake Rick Dhaliwal account in Vancouver that the Canucks landed OEL.

I honestly have never heard so much about the Bruins and have been so ready to be let down.

EDM and COL deals are super overpays.

And Grzelcyk playing in the top 4 is not a good sign

I like AP but don't see a reason to get him. McAvoy is fine as our top RD now & the future. They desperately need a LD. Krug isn't worth what he wants & Chara looks cooked as a top 4.

did not mean an insult, just that Carlo is worth way more, 6'5" RHD top 4 guys are worth a lot more than you are offering here.
He doesn't play 6 '5" and never will only for a couple games after Neely says he needs to be more physical. It doesn't matter in the least how big he is.

Don't worry about the insult.:)

Well I don't get the logic of adding AP either from a Bruins point of view. OEL I can see why easily. Look at it this way, if Krug walks and Chara is gone, and they can move Moore, they end up with a better LD going into next season for less money. There is still room to sign someone like Dadonov who Dom think is about a lock to come to Boston.

The more i think about it. The more i feel like the best fit for boston that wouldnt break the bank is craig smith. Reliable right shot vet who would fit well with what coyle wants to do.

i also really like the idea of getting zadorov back in a rask deal. That dude is mean
