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

I know everyone loves to hate on and laugh at Taylor Hall, but I would be fine with the right deal there. As a cheap rental with potential to turn heads and change opinions, if that's the big move I'm ok there.

Strong emphasis on the cheap part

Serious question - do many of you ever look at contract salary, term, roster size, CAP, expansion and have a way acceptable to both teams to get from point A to pointB?

Because some stuff here is really fantasy ignoring the league reality IMO.

Nope. Not me.

I ignore all that crap.

kind of a risky move. Eats most of bostons available space (thats for @Gee Wally) and he stinks

I been away a few hours what has happened?

Lots of trolling.

Hoffman + Dunn

Go read the Blue board. They are as desperate to get rid of Hoffman & Dunn as we are of DeBrusk.

Hoffman is PP focused and not much good outside of that. He has been moved down the line-up and benched. Dunn is all offense and no defense.

 

[DominicT]

Why are people shitting up the place responding to le ebin trole?

This. And more this.

Keep it going lol

If he starts quoting scripture, I'm taking cover.

Gryz is on a 48 point pace, Krug is on a 40 point pace

I had this dream. It's bizarre but bear with me. It was a dream that a lineup could have both players in it and it would help significantly offensively.

It was a dream where Krug wasn't replaced by Gryz, he was replaced by Lauzon and Zboril, who combined have 10 points in 54 games for a -3

In this dream for all the talk about "well they needed to save the money" was actually about pocketing the money and not spending to the cap.

The team sputtered out to a fringe playoff spot, fighting for their lives for one of the last open spots.

Fans, without thinking, repeated the same tired lines, not realizing what they're saying out loud because it as comfortable.

It was a group of people just saying "better defensively! Better defensively! Addition by subtraction! Krug didn't help the offense anyway, just a PP guy! The power play is fine. The scoring is fine. Don will spend the money on a forward!" all in unison.

Maybe it was a nightmare instead, I dunno.

please,I’m begging you, please stop this.

Wally, I like you. But despite that, I’m afraid I need to enter the fray and possibly ruin your day. The number of truly nutty takes going on here has caused me to want to throw my hat in the ring.

I warn you up front, I’m not very good at this (to quote Martin Short “I am actually not a strong swimmer”) but I’m quite enthusiastic and have been doing some calisthenics in my living room this afternoon to get mentally sharp.

First up. Connor McDavid. It involves some salary retention, yes. But that is more than made up for by the fact that it centers around a sexy little package of Anton Blidh and a very slightly injured Johnny Moore. Now before you shoot me down, I’m throwing in a pick. Not a high one I admit, but a pick none the........

Wait!! Phone is ringing. My scout in the field, Davey Nostrils (long story) is calling in. Be right back everyone. Hang tight for a min.

 

[member 96824]

When do fans get their dividend check for advocating pocketing the Krug money?

 

[bbfan419]

I would think the Devils would rather have a guy like Clifton than another underachieving young winger. They are weak on the right in the organization...or a center prospect.

That could work too.

Thanks dude. You just provided Jimmy “Slainte” Thinskins his newest rumor and source for his shit website.

He isn't going to go cheap someone will give up at least a 2nd and prospect imo

 

[bbfan419]

lol no f***ing way

I would be okay withKopitar, but Kings would need to retain a lot of that $10m salary.

 

[Greek_physique]

Lots of this

That's where Krejci gets his man-bun

lol. No they would not need too

OMG.

 

[DominicT]

So, as a favor to @Gee Wally , I did the math for you.

If I have tonight's roster correct, then the Bruins will have $5,736,668 in deadline space (The AAV that can be added)

Palmieri in and Bjork out tomorrow, drops deadline space down to $1,865,512.

That could increase drastically just by having Halak and Rask healthy by deadline.

The other option is they could LTIR Kase and Moore. Unfortunately, they can't call anyone up to get as close as possible to the cap (as you can see they are at a 23 man roster) so they wouldn't be able to maximize all the LTIR

David perron anyone? Id give up a lot for him hes good

Reading this thread after being away for a few hours remind me of this quote from Einstein"

"The question that sometimes drives me hazy, am I or the others crazy?"

 

[bbfan419]

Can we please stop with the "Can't deal the first round pick" narrative. This is a weak draft in a year where how many scouts got to see players in person for more than a game or two? How many players really developed this year to where a first in the mid 20's or later is so important? This is absolutely the year to include your first in any deal that makes you better now.

Agree the 2021 1st is the one to deal if we deal one, hang onto the 2022 and 2023 picks.
