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

[McGarnagle]

The thing with Kulikov is that if we acquire him, everyone is going to flip out with Jack Edwards pronouncing his name Kul-yiii-kov every shift.

I shouldn't be surprised that on the message board where people think 700+ point David Krejci is a 3rd line center that I also need to convince people that Kyle Palmieri is good, but here I am.

 

[Montecristo]

@Montecristo in the last thread you said Palmieri giving you 13 ES goals wasn't a big deal...you realize that's actually really solid even strength production, right?

since 15/16 he's the 12th ranked RW in the NHL in 5v5 goals. That's infinitely better than anything we've had in our top 6 outside of the big 4 in the last 5 years.

palmieri helps. Hes a solid 2nd line right wing. I just dont think he is good enough to get the bruins a stanley cup. He brings little to none in terms of playoff pedigree or experience. Hes been a big fish in a small pond with nj and anaheim. His ice time will drop in boston. Id rather someone like miles wood honestly at least he impacts the game without scoring. Boston needs scoring for sure, but they also need some energy. A more prototypical 4th line could help that and wood is a great candidate to boost a 4th line. Palmieri to me i never seem to notice on the ice

Well at least Jack will have to finally ask him how to pronounce his name

when the NHL changes the rules to award games to the team with players you notice the most instead of players that score the most goals then I'll agree.

This place has posters who have been trying to ship out David Krejci for the last 10 years. It will never change. Hell Krejci will be retired and people will still be irrationally pissed off when you utter his name.

What does NJ accept for Palmeiri from
Boston

I don’t know. Tbh, I don’t think we’re getting him. I’m just saying in general for people who don’t think he’d move the needle. I think he does or any acquisition like him. It strengthens your lineups scoring depth.

He does just that, but him alone, I wonder if its enough, but I guess it all depends on how the cookie crumbles.

I agree though I don't think he's coming here. Islanders would be my guess.

Sweeney generally makes a trade no one is talking about. The rumours ever really pan out do they?

On top of that, he is likely the best level of player Boston is going to add. Who else is there that will not require creating another giant hole to acquire? You get past the Palmieri level player and you are giving up some serious assets.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

No rentals is my stance and I'm sticking to that. Pay more for a guy with term if need be, but stop throwing assets away for guys that will wear the jersey for ~20 games at most.

I'd rather pay more/serious assets for a guy that they plan on being on the team more than a hot minute. Otherwise it's like throwing away spare change. At the time it doesn't matter much, but after a while you noticed you threw away a couple dollars. You could just spend the few dollars upfront for a longer term solution.

Definitely depends on how a line like JDB/Coyle/Smith click. I do worry about a true playmaker lacking here. But they are a potential matchup nightmare if they’re all clicking.

 

[Blowfish]

I'm calling it.

Kulikov and Palmieri to Boston.

I just read Rask travelling with the team....

Kulikov Wood and Palmieri to Boston. This would make this fan very happy.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Palmieri makes so much sense.

Do it Don

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

When is the deadline anyway?

Not soon enough.

 

[TCB]

Your deal keeps getting bigger and better, In twenty are they adding Hughes ?

 

[kjpm]

I expect Palmieri to go to the Islanders due to the Lamoriello connection but I'd be damn happy to have him on the Bruins, down year or not. You can find flaws with literally any player. Bottom line, he would be a huge upgrade on what they have. He's young enough that you could extend him, maybe not too long but he should be decent for a few years still. I wouldn't complain if that's their move for a RW.

 

[Alicat]

I've said it over and over that I want Palmieri on the Bruins but I would like to see him sign a new deal through at least next year. He's at $4.25 (cap hit of $4.65) coming off a 5 year contract. B's have enough money in the bank even if they sign Tuukka and Krejci.

 

[The National]

I just read Rask travelling with the team....

Kulikov Wood and Palmieri to Boston. This would make this fan very happy.

I wouldn’t mind this.

Can go
Marchy-Bergeron-Palm
Ritchie-Krejci-Pasta
Wood-Coyle-Debrusk(?)
Freddy-Kuraly-Smith

Grz-Mac
Lauzon/Zboril-Carlo
Kulikov-Lauzon/Miller

 

[JOKER 192]

Hall is better then Palmieri. Hes available pay extra and get him.

Hall is almost twice the cap hit.

Has only 2 goals.

Would not be a good fit with Krejci.

Would cost more assets.

Rumors have it he's a dick.

Palmieri every day.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

I’d rather have Hall at 50% retained and if he plays well. Conditional pick if resigned.

Marshy Bergeron Hall
Ritchie DK Pasta
DeBrusk Coyle Smith
Frédéric Studnika Senyshn

that’s a real good top 6 and I think would energize Hall to BE the best he can be.

 

[DKH]

The Lucic pick was an interesting one. Bradley was diagnosed with cancer and had surgery, which kept him home in Vancouver. He got to watch Lucic, who played for the Giants, for the better part of the season and fell in love with him. I’ve read that Bradley tried to convince Gorton to take him at 37.

Yes

I have heard Bradley and Gorton had quite a falling out over this and wasn’t a good situation

Also Chiarelii was an agent before going into Ottawa front office and he is 100% behind Chara and Savard signings although I’m sure Gorton likes getting credit. Who wouldn’t
