I generally agree with everything you say, but come on there for a second. Tyler Seguin still has tremendous potential. Peverley is still a guy who is good for a healthy 45-50 points. Add Jagr and Horton to that.
The Bruins of today are worst than the Bruins of this past season... It's not even close.
What made them special was their THREE balanced scoring lines. They now have two...
I don't disagree with that. I did mention that Seguin IS the best player of the trade is healthy. CLEARLY Bruins are worried about his health. So now, let,s hope it's the same doctors that were worried about Chelios healthy when Savard traded him.....
Eriksson is a pretty good player but clearly not with the potential that Seguin has. I believe Joe Morrow will be a NHL'er real soon. The other 2 will give, at worst, a really great farm team for the Bruins. Still, I give the edge to Dallas IF Seguin is healthy. 'Cause frankly, Peverley was a no-show in the playoffs. And paid way too much for what he brings. And Button had problems making the ECHL team. So Dallas is mostly getting Seguin and just him. But that's enough if healthy.
Where Bruins do win is cap space, great cap trade. Bruins gained some great cap space there. They will surely re-sign Jagr and probably make offers to other players. I wouldn't be too hurry to call that trade a terrible trade for Boston. Yet, it is obvious that Dallas is getting the better player. No doubt. Actually depth wise, it is really looking good for Boston as they acquire good young cheap talent and save money with getting rid of Peverley.
