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

[The National]

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.

I think he’ll be looking for a new deal long past next year. He’s looking for that 30 year old anchor deal.

 

[Blowfish]

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

Yes!

LOL

 

[DKH]

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.

Rumors are he’s less of a Dick now but unfortunately less explosive speed

Anyone know what this one says? Seems like good article, pay wall I think.

What I'm hearing about Tuukka Rask and his impact on the Bruins' trade priorities

Talks about Rask vs their plans for deadline. Sorry if that's a repost, I skimmed.

Only Miles Wood is under contract for next season so unless you plan to re-sign Palmieri and Kulikov I'd pump the breaks on acquiring all 3.

I can see them getting Palmieri in a sign and trade as well as Wood since he's got term left

 

[bruins4thecup65]

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.

We have Pasta on RW and not needing Palmeri now

 

[Gee Wally]

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’m with you.

This year REALLY aint the time for rentals here.

 

[Dr Hook]

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.

What do they have that we can part with to do that without making a problem elsewhere? Bruins are not exactly stocked with A level prospects and good players that are surplus to requirements.

EDIT: and by the way I am not advocating a rental here, I don't want to see that, just talking about players that make Boston an instant cup favorite are not to be had by us.

My favorite word on the boards lol.

You don't think Palmieri would be an upgrade on Senyshyn or Kuhlman?

We have Pasta on RW and not needing Palmeri now

What about the other 3 RWs?

 

[bruins4thecup65]

The draft is stacked next year.
Have a look at Connor Bedard whom at 15yrs old is leading the Western Hockey League in scoring. How can we get a first from a team that will be dead last in two years and who will it be?

 

[Alicat]

You don't think Palmieri would be an upgrade on Senyshyn or Kuhlman?

Hell yea he would.

Pasta plays on the 1st line, Palmieri on the 2nd and Smith on the 3rd.

Ideally Wags gets whatever he's dealing with under control and he's on the 4th line.

 

[Montecristo]

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.

they did that like 3 years ago

 

[bruins4thecup65]

You don't think Palmieri would be an upgrade on Senyshyn or Kuhlman?

Palmeri is obviously better but I don’t want a $5m player on my third or fourth line. Pasta fits fine on second line with Krecji and Nick F Ritchie

 

[DiggityDog]

This may come as a total shock to you but there are more than one line

We wont have to do much to get a first from that team... id say nothing is a good place to start

He's on the 2nd line and Smith is on the 3rd

Coyle says hi.

 

[DiggityDog]

Friendly reminder that a rental is only a rental if he leaves. Palmieri is 30 years old, a 3-4 year deal would be fine going forward through the window and a season or two beyond.

I gave Athletic and read it

basically without Rask scouts think they’re screwed and probably shouldn’t be buyers

Agreed, they just can't afford this type of thing anymore. They've done that for too long. If they are giving away assets they need to acquire keepers not rentals.

 

[DKH]

So what are you hockey mavens giving up for Palmeiri let’s hear the offers

 

[DarrenBanks56]

if we get palmieri he better be onnrw with marsh and bergy

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Would NJ or Cancouver have any interest in acquiring Hughes to put the brothers together. Vancouver is known for liking brothers to play together..?
