The Out of Town Thread part LXIV - All Talk From Around the League Here

[Talks to Goalposts]

Eriksson is one of the best all around players in NHL ,, Guy is criminally underrated playing in Dallas

The Bruins are getting someone who only is entering the peak years of his career (He is only 27)

That simply isn't true. For wingers, 23-28 is the peak. Eriksson is on the backside of his career. Its not like he's going to fall of a cliff but you should expect his future trajectory to be slowly downward from here, not upward.

And frankly, I think Eriksson has gotten such a reputation for being under-rated that he's become over-rated. He's very good, but you know what, so is Seguin. And its not like Erikkson is the Patrick Elias kind of two-way force on the wing that can carry a line.

Loui Eriksson has to waive his no trade to make this trade official from Dallas. He is doing that now. #NHL

awww I was hoping for another Iginla moment

Bruce Garrioch most probably has zero sources nor inside information in this trade. Just tweeting the obvious.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

I hope Brett Ritchie isn't one of the prospects.. dude's a beast and just the type of bruin player too.

Yet he was the first to say that the Habs were looking to move Cole...we all laughed and then Cole got traded a couple of days after.

I hope the Bruins are not getting Oleksiak in that trade

My money's on Patrik Nemeth...not as good as Oleksiak but a big, mean shutdown guy. I really wanted him back in 2010. Just seems like the type of player who would end up on the Bruins.

 

[Seb]

I love Eriksson

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

I love Eriksson

Fix that: You loveD Eriksson

 

[Andy]

Why would anyone overpay to get Seguin. Boston is the one who wants to move him, they are in a cap pinch, he has off-ice issues...why give the moon? Let Boston sit on that.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 32s
Joe Morrow is believed to be one of the pieces going from DAL to BOS. Also, perhaps Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser. Looking for confirmation.

Trade call between Boston and Dallas is about to begin, or is just underway...according to source.

Despite his "okay-rich" contract, despite news of his "unprofessionalism", GM's still believe Seguin's ceiling is quite high, maybe higher than Eriksson. And he has a couple years to reach it.

A lot can happen between now and 2-3 seasons for Seguin.

Obviously today, I think the Bruins are becoming a better team.

Hmmm... From Pittsburgh to Dallas to Boston for Joe Morrow.

 

[Wats]

I like how Chiarelli has the balls to make these trades - even if the player just signed an extension.

 

[Andy]

Joe Haggerty ‏@HackswithHaggs 1m
Per a source, Rich Peverley involved in Tyler Seguin trade discussions w/Dallas Stars. B's could clear almost $5M in cap space #BruinsTalk

 

[overlords]

I like how Chiarelli has the balls to make these trades - even if the player just signed an extension.

Question is why he'd call that player out in the media just before trying to get fair value back for him.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

How is Patrick Holland doing? Just got me thinking about the last time we traded a good player (Cammalleri).

 

[Andy]

I like how Chiarelli has the balls to make these trades - even if the player just signed an extension.

Hopefully our GM is willing to do the same.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 7s
Loui Eriksson agreed to waive his NTC a few hours ago

Lol Bruce.

 

[Wats]

Question is why he'd call that player out in the media just before trying to get fair value back for him.

My guess, preparing fans for a trade that has been in the works for a while?

 

[gusfring]

Wow. Wish we had Chiarelli as a GM. Great move for them.

 

[Habsfan18]

God damnit, I actually really liked Loui Eriksson.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

If Dallas trades Eriksson + Morrow + Nichushkin

Hah.

 

[gusfring]

Will never happen. He can't speak French. Wouldn't even be considered...

Very sad, and another reason why this team is where they are.

 

[Andy]

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1m
Seguin and Peverley for sure going to Stars.
