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

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

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.

I highly doubt the Devils would be looking to trade Palmieri as

A) he is basically the only "natural" goal scorer they have
B) he is from NJ and one of the faces of the team

To get them to consider it, it would have to be around Carlo which I am sure you won't want to do.

 

[Canuck86]

Josh Leivo for a draft pick?

 

[BostonBob]

Which has what to do with those trades? Its always weird to me how every crappy move can be excused by a cup win. A bad move is a bad move.

So using that line of logic the Leafs haven't made a good trade since 1967.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

11 more years and all the Leaf will be removed from the Stanley cup. Replacing expired rings on the cup to make room will be an eye opener if they do not win. Blues winning leaves the the Leafs the longest tenured team in the league without a cup.

I would rather have Eriksson than Backes in this lineup. My number one guy I like to have is Kreider, he has size and speed.

 

[PB37]

We can go off-topic. Seguin was nothing special in those playoffs. People jump on star players for similar production. Nevertheless is was an awful trade for the Bruins when he was dealt.

Which has nothing to do with the thread topic?

 

[easton117]

Could be worse I suppose. At least you didnt trade Kessel, get back top picks, select Seguin and Hamilton, trade them, and get next nothing in return. Oh...

Just a cup I guess. But who wants one of those!?!

 

[Juicy Pop]

Chris Stewart for a 3rd

 

[Canuck86]

leivo for a 5th round pick

 

[typicalsavage]

Bjugstad for a prospect

Bjudstad is a crappy player on an even worse contract, quit trying to pawn him off nd act like youre getting a pick for him. You would,d have to pay a team picks just to take him off your hands.

 

[typicalsavage]

I was thinking a 3 way deal

To Vancouver

Ryan

To Ottawa

Backes
Beartschi
Senyshyn
Schaller
2020 2nd (BOS)

To Boston

Eriksson(50 % retained by Ottawa)

Ottawa actually saves money in this deal while both Vancouver and Boston save on cap space.

Say what now?

Not opposed from Vancouver, but that seems....odd that Boston or Ottawa would be enthusiastic about that one...

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

What you need is Strome at a medium pace....

We’ll take back Backes but you’ll owe us some picks and or good prospects

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Backes and his restrictive NTC can nix any to crappy team or location. Really he's a Bruin till his contract expires.

Are you sure the Bruins shouldn't be giving up a 1st instead of a 2nd for 3 seasons of Eriksson's corpse?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Not the Leafs if the last 50 years are any indication.

 

[wintersej]

The list doubles in size next summer from an 8 team NTC to a 16 team NTC. Is sitting in the press box a crappier location than playing for a bad team?

I think a 2nd and Senyshyn is too high a price to pay for Boston to save 3 million off the cap AND get stuck with an extra year of bad contract. I'd rather add something to Ottawa (Zboril?) to get them to keep Eriksson, too. And then its clear there is no reason for Vancouver in the deal.

If Backes is willing to waive to Ottawa, the Bruins don't need the Canucks to complete the deal.

 

[KlausJopling]

Bruins are gonna do the same things as they did last year with 3rd line center. Keep cycling in internal options. If come February none of them are working make a trade for a veteran.

This has Kreider written all over it if one of your LWs can play on the right.

 

[Dr Danglefest]

Don’t quote me on this, but I’ve heard Iginla to Boston is close.

it was Close but then he chose to sign elsewhere so he could lose to the Bruins in the playoffs again

they get rid of backes too

 

[YP44]

There were rumors that the burins were interested in Kovalchuk at last years deadline. Kovalchuk for backes +++

 

[wintersej]

I think the core issue here is that they don't love Marchand, DeBrusk, Heinen or Bjork playing on their offside. Heinen probably the best at it, but he seems locked in a pairing with Coyle, so still leaves Krejci without a real RW.

Bjork has played RW for most his college and NHL career, but for some reason Boston has him as a LW in Providence.
