Boston Bruins X-Rumors, Trade Proposals, Speculation, etc.. (rumors must have recognized source/link)

[Mr. Make-Believe]

As much as I agree with a lot of what you posted above....the other side is just as interesting.....

They might not have won a cup without Peverley...which is why I’m almost always fine with younger players getting traded for more experienced ones, provided I feel that the GM is doing it with the goal,of contending in mind.

This is why I still have no issue with the Nash deal.

Right. Nash was the right play for the Bruins at the time. Best chance to win. I’ll never squawk about it either.

Goes the other way too though. Everyone lauds the Mojo play... but he wasn’t the guy we needed to fill the hole we had. Team got to within one DESPITE the GM not giving his team the best chance to win.

Does Marleau have anything in the tank ? He be a el cheapo move. Won't cost much.

I don’t think for this team, and I haven’t seen him play this year, but maybe for a young, good team like Colorado, he might be a good, Recchi (2011) type of influence.

By looking at the large sample of numbers that prove it to be true.

which are?

 

[ON3M4N]

well share them here my dude. some people will shit on them because they reject data, but some of us would be interested to see it.

I'd be interested to see these numbers, but I'm also known to like that kind of stuff and get shit on by people for it lol

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Lindholm is a much better player/target over "Boring" Sean Monahan.

I think you have listed every player in the league at this point

 

[TobanWest]

You know, the stress and panic of shoring up the team at the deadline makes me frustrated and confused at why teams aren't more successful at free agency. Bruins have history, leadership and solid play for a long time now. Why can't Sweeney land the illusive 2nd liner and #2 dman? That would have solved so many issues getting it out of the way in the summer, at least one need. Now, much like years past, they are bidding on mostly meh players that cost twice to triple and emptying the cupboards.
I'm thinking try for a garland type player, talent and young if you can but if not, use what they have and grab a Bobby Ryan type who has shown to help in the playoffs. Use the cap space in the summer. Maybe under a new GM?

Always thinking to improve the club isnt this what were doing here on this discussion board ? Are we supposed to talk about tea biscuits here?

Marleau isn't an improvement to anyone on this roster. And I'm not super high on most of our bottom 6.

The only reason Marleau gets traded, is as a favor to Marleau to a legit contender for a chance to be part of a winning team. He's not a missing piece to a team that needs many. Marleau is cooked at this point.

I would love to see Sweeney bring in Mantha or a Larkin, but I really don't think he has the assets unless he includes Debrusk in a package. The Wings have only 3 players signed beyond the 21-22 season and Mantha is the only one signed beyond the 22-23 season.

Stevie Y, is set-up really nice to add some top free-agents and make some deals this deadline to bring in more assets that he could package in future deals.

A whole lot of them are UFA, that team is going to have a totally new identity in a few years.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

regarding Eichel:


4 first round picks, eh?

DeBrusk, Zboril, Senyshyn, Vaak?

This counts the Bruins out.

But I'd try... Debrusk, Carlo, Coyle and 22 first for Ristolainen and Eichel

 

[LouJersey]

Get Palmieri and a defenseman.....keep Ritchie and Smith with DK and go JDB-Coyle-Palmieri.

thats a decent top 9 if the centers all play how they are capable.

What are you giving up?

I don't want to give up any assets for a rental and Palmieri isn't coming cheap

 

[sarge88]

Eeeee gaaads,

San Jose has some nasty contracts.

Karlsson 11.5 until he’s 39

Burns 8.0 until he’s 40

Kane 7.0 until 2025

Couture 8.0 until he’ 38

Vlasic 7.0 until he’s 39

I wonder if there’s a way that a guy like Hertl or Meier could get packaged with Vlasic to give them some cap relief and the B’s the winger and veteran defenseman they could use?

 

[bruinmann77]

Keep your Number one pick Don

Do the Bruins have enough cap space to accommodate that?

Wow. That is.... a fantabulously craptastic contract situation.

Not to forget Jones @ 5.75 until 2024 while trending down from GAA 2.94 to 3.00 to 3.29 the last 3 seasons.

Ah - come on now.

So that's why Don drafted those players in 2015, so he could trade them all to Buffalo for Eichel and STILL win the trade.

Sweeney playing 4 dimensional chess..

[mflo77]

any appetite for Ryan Murray? although injury prone, i think he could stabilize the Bruins left side. At this point, if no better option presents itself, he would be a better playoff option than Zboril. 3rd rd pick should get it done.
