Proposal: The annual BOS needs a 2nd line RW thread

[Viqsi]

not unless you're including Matthews.

Oh, c'mon. It's not like they asked for McAvoy.

 

[Ranksu]

Anyone out there available who can potentially fit with Debrusk and Krejci? 2nd line RW is the team’s only real weakness.

Bruins have massive depth on D with at least 9 NHL calibre D-men. It could be 11 if you count their 2 top D prospects (Vaakanainen and Lauzon) who would be playing in the NHL on many teams. Moore and Miller are currently injured. The team also has some good forward prospects (Studnicka, Beecher, Lauko, Steen).

You guys have David Backes.

 

[weaponomega]

picks and right side players d and wing prospects

Senyshyn + 2020 3rd for Toffoli

Salary wise it would be great to include Backes somehow.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Senyshyn + 2020 3rd for Toffoli

no thanks King get a 2nd min with a b prospect

 

[weaponomega]

no thanks King get a 2nd min with a b prospect

I can definitely see him worth a second, but I'll disagree on the additional b prospect. Maybe a second and a 4th. I can't see him going for more than what Marcus Johansson went for last season.

 

[SEALBound]

Could the Penguins add something to Kahun and get a decent d prospect back?

Like Kahun+3rd for Lauzon or Zboril?

I honestly think a low first in any other draft would be his value former 30 goal scorer Play on pk and led league in shortie showing hes a threat also 2 cup rings i respectfully disagree. This is a deep draft which is why i put it a little cheaper

 

[PlayMakers]

I wouldn't quibble over price. The Bruins can afford to give up a first and/or their better prospects.

Find the right guy and make the deal.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Do the Bruins still have hope for Senshyn and Zboril, or would they consider moving them?

 

[OVO16]

I feel pretty confident in saying that either Toffoli or Palmieri is gonna end up being a Bruin sometime around the trade Deadline

I don't see how trading Kahun helps us.

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

Leafs only do that if Boston adds Backes

 

[PlayMakers]

I think it's both.

The Bruins continue to develop and improve them. Zboril got a lot of opportunities in pre-season and looked good. Senyshyn was singled out as an option for 2RW before the season but got hurt and missed most of camp.

That said, they're not at the top of the Bruins prospect list. They are certainly available for the right deal. Everyone should be available.

Palmieri seems a likely target to me. They said during the B's/Devils game that he and Wagner have been friends since minors and live together in Boston during the off-season.

isn't coyle good enough ?

 

[Wiggleboom]

isn't coyle good enough ?

He probably would be but then they’d need a 3rd line C badly. Coyle is also very good at C so they probably want to keep him there.

what do u see the bruins giving up for toffoli

 

[pled]

where is heinen playing then ? I guess its really top9 depth that they miss more than a pure top6 RW especially since they don't have the money for a real top6 player if they had 2 other fine player to play with heinen on the 3rd line coyle would be fine as 2nd RW

 

[bernmeister]

Strome is righty adds to pivot depth as well

Strome + two 4ths
for
JFK + 2nd

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Leafs only do that if Boston adds Backes

Will even throw in some extra Rene Rancourt Christmas ornaments from years ago.

 

[LarKing]

Take Justin Abdelkader from us pretty please

DeBrusk Krejci ???
Heinen Coyle ???

Is how they have been lining up. Kuhlman seems capable for one of those spots, but is really more of a bottom 6 talent. Backes and Ritchie are 4th liners are best.

They will see if Bjork, Senyshyn, Studnicka, Frederic, or Steen can force their way into the lineup over the season. Bjork seems the closest, but they have decided he is better over at LW. If not, they will make a trade.

No reason to make a trade now. Let the cap space build up and wait for prices to get lower than they are now.

 

[BB88]

For another Cup run a #2Rw really is needed.

Midd6 is the only major weakness in the lineup.

Would really prefer someone u30.

 

[Funk21]

Larger deal than previously suggested and I know it will likely be a no but here goes:

TML
Kapanen
Dermott
Holl

Bruins
Carlo
Ritchie
Cap dump around 700K

Why TML do this:
Gain size and defensive physical RHD to pair with Rielly. Ritchie again adds size and physical presence on third line where we are not so concerned with scoring.

Why Bruins do this:
Gain RW who can put up 40-50 points and drop 20 goals. Play PK and has speed for days on your second line. Dermott is a proven NHL D man who can play in your top 4 once healthy. Will add 20+ points in that expanded role. If we are looking to sign Muzzin, Dermott is the odd man out given that Rielly is our first pairing and Sandin represents the future. Holl is a serviceable 3rd pairing RHD who needs a fresh start as Babcock has been a tool with his deployment.

Helps both teams out regarding needs. I think Bruins win out on skill (scoring points) but leafs win on physicality. Thoughts?

Lauzon) who would be playing in the NHL on many teams.

Ya... Bud, Lauzon took his retirement because of headache issues, how do you not know?
