Boston Bruins ‘22-‘23 Bruins roster and trade proposals discussions. II

[DominicT]

I have a thought instead of moving draft picks Vancouver might be interested in young players, try this on for size and trust me I know it is off the wall and if I read from some other poster I would throw shit him, but anyways . Luke Schenn for Smith Reilly, Steen, and McLaughlin.........

Vancouver has less cap space then Boston. How do they possibly make this work?

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

I you worried about Providence ,I'm not

name the last time both organizations were at the top of their respected leagues, and that's with both Swayman and Keyser out for stretches

That is true , but I would think that Vancouver would need to make some other moves they are not going anywhere unless they have a complete turn around............You are right no doubt, I think I was just trying to something out there so you are not losing draft picks to move cap.......I understand the flaws in my post ,

I don't understand. Are you saying we should only post realistic ideas? I'm totally against that.

 

[tremha77]

why would you mess up the chemistry as both BOS/PRO are at the top if not at the top of their respected leagues

plus it doesnt work for Van cap wise

you want something out there how about if Pasta gives indications he isn't signing what about something around a Pasta for Horvat + who would help our longer term Centre problem.

you just answered your own question twice nothing to do with Horvat is a NO

Didn't think a hashtag was necessary

Is it better to deal picks/prospects or mess with chemistry? Reilly , Smith and a first for a 4th?

Not trading a 1st in a deep draft just to get rid of players.

Jack roslovic scratched. Buy low . Hes pretty good young center.

There it is

4mil this year and next. Would take some serious doing to do.

 

[Tbaybruin]

INot trading a 1st in a deep draft just to get rid of players.

I don’t want to but we don’t have a choice. This team is a legit contender keep them happy and keep our best players.

Easy peasy. I am certain Reilly and Smith would be attractive no?

 

[bbfan419]

They can find other ways, without giving up a 1st. I would look to trade Smith, there are teams looking for help and he is a UFA next year, so will be easier to move than Reilly. You can also add a player from providence as well like Keyser or another prospect other than Lysell or Lohrei.

 

[Dizzay]

I do not want to use any picks from this or next year's draft to shed Reilly or Smith. We already are without two 2nd's.

Lauko is a guy I'd give up to shed Reilly. He looks like he could be a great 3rd-4th line guy but we already have so many of those players right now. Steen is another guy I'd attach in a heartbeat to get rid of Reilly. I'm on the fence with Keyser/Beacher. I think both could net us a decent pick coming back, even with Reilly strapped to them.

Or get Tampa creative and send Reilly + Lauko + Smith to Arizona for Andrew Ladd(LTIR 5.5 million) who's a UFA after this season. @DominicT would have to educate me but sheding the 6.1 million plus putting Ladd on LTIR would give us some serious breathing room in space I believe once Forbort and Swayman are activated.

I'm by no means Dom, and I'm sure he can correct me, but if they move Reilly and Smith in that trade they will not need to use LTIR for space since they'll be under the cap. That being said it may allow them to eat a bigger cap hit at deadline and then use LTIR once they are over the cap.

That's what I was getting at. If arizona is eating 6.1 million in cap, they'd likely want to shed some cap as well. We could take Ladd and place him on LTIR which makes us compliant and allows us to make some deadline moves if needed.

Reilly and Smith maybe the obvious choices for a trade if you are a Bruin fan,but the market for either is not great with most teams strapped with the salary cap. I am hoping Sweeney is exploring other options that may not need sweeteners. There needs to be at least one D moved . The salary of the player moved needs to be 3mil or more . This may require more than one trade.

 

[Blowfish]

Reilly and Smith are easy choices but both could be needed deep playoff run. Tricky situation.

I don't know if the Yotes would. In fact, I think they would not. Forget about the cap for a second.

They are taking on real money owed to Reilly and Smith - $6.1 million would come out of their pocket.

They aren't paying Ladd - insurance is.

If Ladd’s contract is covered by insurance (no idea) this isn’t a win or them.

Edit: missed Dom’s comment!

Why not move gryz? You should get a second round pick for him and it takes care of cap issues without adding to the deal for a team to take Smith/Reilly.

Lindholm-MacAvoy
Forbort-Clifton
Zboril-Carlo
Strahlman

Not a fan of Zboril but moving him does nothing to become cap compliant

For me moving Gryz is a very obvious option . The problem being IMO he is over paid for what he brings. He also has another year after this year,he could be attractive to certain teams.

I guess I was thinking:
1. Asset in Lauko who seems NHL ready
2. Smith could be moved at the deadline for a pick/prospect and they could retain money to get a better return/more buyers
3. Reilly is serviceable enough dman to be a regular on the team.

Grz may end up going, but I don't think its obvious.
On the left side (aside from Lindholm) Grz offers a different skill set than Forbort and Zboril. Moving Grz might be "obvious" if either of them could transition the puck better, but they can't. Reilly was brought in on the left side to do that, but he didn't work out. So moving Grz (and Reilly) leaves a puck moving hole on the left side D which teams could exploit.
