Speculation: What would it take for the Bruins to trade for AND sign Artemi Panarin?

I’m thinking the starting point for Columbus would be a 1st round pick, a younger roster player, and a top prospect.

Columbus is not going to be interested in the Zboril’s, Lauzon’s, Clifton’s, Bjork’s, Hughes’ etc. It would probably start with someone like DeBrusk or Krug, then Donato, Frederic, or Vaak, then our 1st round pick. Then likely a max $$ contract for Panarin on top of it all.

Worth it? I’d say nope. Pass.
If they got a signed Panarin for Krug, Donato and a 1st I’ll be pumped.

Sounds as if Kekalainen would be willing to take futures and not necessarily a roster player would be needed if the right deal is out there.

No it doesn't.

They have plenty of room for this season, then work it out over the summer. They'll be able to unload Backes if they really want to, and the reasons have been discussed ad nauseum.

they really dont.

this summer they have $62 mill of the Cap spent on 15 players

they also have...

RFA: McAvoy, Carlo, Heinen, Donato, Cehlarik, JFK

summer of 2020, they have:

RFA: DeBrusk, Grzelcyk

UFA: Krug, Miller, Halak

They may have space this second on paper, but with whats coming up they realistically do not have space

I don’t think Heinen, Donato or Cehlarik will cost that much. Mcavoy and Carlo might be around $8-9M per year. Grzelcyk won’t be too much because he doesn’t put up a ton of points and who knows what Debrusk will do between now and then. I really hope they don’t resign Miller or Krug.

I really think this will be Krugs last year as a Bruin, unless they deal a Vaak or a Lauzon before hand. He's a huge asset as far as bringing help in other area's and the bruins will have the depth in the back-end to replace him.

I wouldn’t trade both Debrusk and Mcavoy, but Debrusk + would be worth it since Panarin is better and would be taking JD’s spot.

If they insist on both those guys I wouldn’t want to do it.

For a signed or agreed to sign Panarin you aint even getting a seat at the table with that.

How much do you think Heinen, Donato, Cehlarik and JFK get? I would be surprised if they together get 8 million or more. Heck ,I think north of 7 million is already somewhat doubtful.

Also, I don't think Halak and Miller are coming back.

I don't know. DeBrusk plus?

I would think it all depends on what the plus is.

By the sounds of Kekalainen he's moving him and there maybe no need for any roster players, all depends on the offer, so Id think a Debrusk plus would be in the ball park.

For a rental..lsure.. Debrusk + prospect + 1st may well do it.

But my point in all this is strictly for an extended Panarin.
Entirely different value then.

I mean the jackets can either trade him or let him play out the year and go on to lose him for nothing. Most teams trading for players at this time aren't giving up assets and DeBrusk would be a huge asset. He's young talented can score and was a big-time playoff performer last year.
A first in a deep draft.
And a top prospect. Studnicka,Vaak or Cehlarik
I feel would get it done. It would all depend on Panarin, on whether he'd be willing to sign with the Bruins or not. I personally wouldn't do it as a rental.

Its not if Columbus can extend him but their hoping that the team who makes them a favorable offer will be able to. Their not Cup contenders with or without Panarin and this deal makes them better next year and in the future.

Favorite thing about Panarin is that he reminds me of what a steal Boston has in the Bergeron, Pasta and Marchand contracts.

Those are great contracts and the Bruins are very fortunate, but I just hope Sweeney doesn't try to use them as bargaining chips when he's trying to lure other FA in, because it isn't going to work, they'll just go get paid else where and I hope he doesn't have the mind set where he's not going to give anyone a higher contract than one of those three or Krejci,who I believe is the highest paid Bruin.

DeBrusk + Frederic + 1st is the minimum I would ask for from Boston as Columbus

Why are we assuming Columbus would want to deal him at all? They are fighting for a playoff spot just like we are and we basically have the same record. Any offer for their franchise player, in the middle of a playoff push, would have to be a ridiculous over payment to even get the conversation started.

No thanks. Moving on.....

Sign him over the summer, and keep your assets for another trade if you are dead set on getting him.

You're borrowing headaches.

Backes might cost a small piece to move but could be done.
Krug could easily be moved.
Chara may retire.
K. Miller could be moved.
John Moore could be moved.
Halak could be moved.
Heinen, Donato, Cehlarik, JFK, etc. haven't done anything yet to worry about how much they're going to demand and all are moveable.

McAvoy and Carlo will be due decent contracts but neither should break the bank this summer. $10M for the two combined?

Not saying I'd be jumping for joy if they traded a bunch for him and gave him $10M+ a season ... but they could fit him into the line-up without that much fuss.
