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

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Oel wanted to come to Boston anyway we can fit that monster contract?

Probably ends how it begins.

Bruins: Will you retain salary?
Coyotes: No
Bruins: Bye

 

[sarge88]

In what way?

Is the lineup not better?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Maybe.

I’m of the mindset that Frederic is a dime a dozen and Lauko might become a second liner......maybe.

Either way...if neither ever played another game for the Bruins, I wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep.

Oleksiak, however, could be a significant piece to a long playoff run, provided things break the right way.

Did Montecristo hack your account?

Why?

We giving up too much or not getting enough back?

 

[Gordoff]

That’s still 3 picks for a D that has been bad this year.

Yeah, those grapes sure look sour.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

How much would it take for Merill?

I suggested a third (ish)

I calculated that by starting with the fourth I figure he's worth and then compensating for my own stupidity.

As a guy who roots for chaos above all else

The Hall situation reminds me of Thomas Vanek from years ago... circumstances are a little different of course but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the return for Buffalo is....less than they were hoping for.

It would be hilarious if he didn’t get moved at all.

Oleksiak isn't a first pairing D, though he seems to be the flavor of the day, you could get him for a lot less
Kempe is about right, maybe a different combo of players but you're in the area code
No love for Ristolainen?

Bruins are 7-3-2 in their last 12. Only in fourth because of games in hand. They have 6 games left out of 18 against the Sabres, and only 8 of their last 18 against WAS/NYI/PIT. This is a playoff team. They’re not trading Krejci.

Sabres do not mean automatic wins. We just beat them 3-2 on March 27.
They are also playing better lately. Beware.

Just did it quick and figured Oleksiak would be an easier get because he’s UFA.

 

[Banded Peak]

Its a possibility, doesn't seem there's much of an appetite around the league to throw high draft picks away like in a normal year.

Vanek went for a second and some no name prospect (if I remember right), out of nowhere to the Habs, right before the deadline. Wouldnt surprise me to see something like that. Shooting themselves in the foot and waiting too long would be a pretty Sabres thing to do.

Understand

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Never mind just saw part of the ticker on ESPN.

Huge overpay from Tampa.

[Greek_physique]

If we stand pat...playoffs might not happen.

Wake up Sweeney

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Why didn't we do that Savard deal?

I give up a 4th for him in a heartbeat.

I don't get it.

they gave up a

1st
3rd
&
4th

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I don't get it.

I didn't see the whole deal just saw he'd been traded and some of it from Tampa thought he went for just a 4th from the TV ticket.

1st and 3rd no way. If they got the same deal with him retained next year then that would make sense.

I guess we know prices are high yet again.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Bruins will be the bridesmaid for the 2nd time on Hall in less than 12 months.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Wake up Sweeney

We'll make the playoffs.

Gotcha. I thought you were joking.

I think the price was high for TB and that deal specifically. But there were a lot of hoops and shit to jump through and Savard was highly coveted... Probably the biggest name out there right now.

The Palmieri/Zajac was dirt cheap in comparison, Staal went for a song, and the Avs got a veteran backup goaltender for basically free.

I think the prices are more than reasonable so far.
