thanks, J. makes more sense that way.
Unless PC gets really creative, I'm just expecting a quiet - fill from within, save as much cap as possible off-season - and then a busy trade deadline.

Chara off the power play forever
Kelly gone for cap reasons
Resign Iggy if we can afford it
Give Boychuk an extension

Neely = HOF
This board sometime...Chara gets 10PP goals, good for 13th in the league, the PP was very good as a whole scoring at 21,7% for 3rd in the league but right... Get Chara off the PP forever...

Trade Chris Kelly & maybe Greg Campbell for a draft pick

We'd be better off by going back to the old pp.

Pipe dream scenario:
Work a trade with Edmonton or Calgary for either the #3 or #4.
McQuaid
Bartkowski
Spooner
Subban
Kelly
Campbell
2014 1st
2014 2nd
2015 1st
2015 2nd
Put together some sort of combination of those assets and draft Leon Draisaitl.
I really feel like Draisaitl is the best player in the draft due to his combination of skills as well as his power forward size, I also believe he could step into the NHL right away.

IMO, King isn't worth a 2nd rounder.
Let's re-sign our key players first: Iggy/Smith & Caron
before we go out an acquire an RFA without knowing his salary demands.

I think its fair to say it was Barts first full year in the league, I consider him to be a puck mover and decent passer. If you look at his stat line in this first year compared to lets say Kris Letang, they are very similar. Bart was also a +20 which is a positive sign.

Fraser goes to places on the ice where he can score and doesn't take boneheaded penalties. He's got a better hockey IQ and shot than Caron. This is year 4 of Caron in Boston, it's over time for a fresh face.

You serious? Guy was a beast down low on the power play. If anything, he should get more PP minutes.Kelly has a NTC, which excludes him from a buyout. Players with NTC's are protected from buyouts, but players with NMC's are not protected. Kelly falls into the "protected" category with the NTC. Plus, he's injured and that would also protect him from a buyout. And the only GM out there who doesn't seem to mind trading for injured players is our GM … All of these factors point to Kelly being a Bruin to start the season, at very least.
I believe they're working on that. While I was disappointed in his playoff performance, he wasn't alone in that category… I'm all for giving him an extension if the price is right.
Not sure about this one at this point in time … I'd wait and see how he performs for the first half of the season at least. There's other guys within the system who are knocking at the door. I could see Boychuk being a cap casualty after this season, unless his play forces management's hand into giving him a new contract.

Letang was 20 in his first full year, Bartkowski was 25. Bartkowski's problem is that he doesn't quite have the defensive game to be considered a shutdown guy who can skate the puck out of trouble (kind of like Seidenberg) and he doesn't quite have the offensive game to be considered a true PMD (and it hurts him here that there are already two guys in that role in Hamilton and Krug who do it much much better).

From what I've read, players with NMC have the option to go on waivers first before being buyout completely.
No. no no no.
NTC= No trade clause
NMC= no move clause.
and we've already been over the injured thing 1000 times, which finally came to confirmation from his agent that all it takes is to be medically cleared by July 1. Could Kelly have that happen? I would guess yeah...as July 1 is what? 5 weeks and 5 days into his 4-6 week recovery period? but I'm certainly no doctor, just going by all the reports.

You don't say.
Going by what CapGeek says (for lack of being able to find anything directly related in the CBA), it is inferred that NTC's are protected from buyouts:
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NTC AND A NMC?
A no-trade clause means a player cannot be traded without his consent. Consent is not required for waivers for assignment to the minors. CapGeek uses the terms “NTC†and “full NTC†interchangeably.
A no-move clause means a player cannot be traded, waived for a claim by another team, or assigned to the minors without his consent. This does not protect the player from a buyout. CapGeek uses the terms “NMC†and “full NMC†interchangeably.
Kelly has a NTC.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but doesn't this imply that the NTC protects the player from buyout?

I disagree. I think Fraser's a lock.
He's done everything he can at the AHL level, and (I thought) he looked comfortable in Boston in the playoffs. He's big, he hustles and gets his body into traffic. That release gives him the potential to score at the next level, and I think he can fill a role as an energy guy in the bottom6 while he adjusts and learns to find his range.

Unfortunately, this is not NHL 14 be a gm. Can't stack a bunch of junk together and expect something potentially elite.
If someone offered a few late firsts and seconds in a pretty top heavy draft and a few fourth liners, wpuld you trade Bergeron for that?
