Likewise, Anaheim could be a landing spot for an extended Debrusk. But it'd probably have to involve a third team for a comparable roster player because the Bruins aren't selling the farm in November.

If you have to ask you don't pay to much attention to what is need on the back end.
Please tell me why he isn't an upgrade over Shattenkirk or Mitchell?

He would work nicely with Gryz IMO.... He's not bad with Mintyukov IMO but would be a nightmare with Forbort. Issue is Forbort can't be anything other than a third pair He's a huge upgrade over the current Bruins 3RD but it's a tough fit due to Forbort. Would be a nice 2pk guy too

What’s the fascination with Lyubushkin? He’s on his third team in 3 years. I’m not a big Corsi guy but he’s at 35% which is deplorable. He has absolute zero offensive aptitude. A Forbort-Lyubushkin pairing would be an affront to any reasonable hockey - eye test or otherwise. He was not good for the Leafs in the only playoff series he played in and the Leafs happily let him walk despite their defensive issues.

Is it because he hits? Because I can’t see any reason to acquire him for the right side.

Grzelcyk - Gudas/Lyubushkin as a third pairing would be better than Forbort - Shattenkirk. Bruins would most likely have to move Forbort in a separate deal or in the same deal.

Anaheim could also be willing to take on cap space so the Bruins could make a separate move. Pagnotta mentioned a few weeks ago that Anaheim was somewhat involved with the Garland talks.

Something like Jake and Gryz out, Henrique/Silfverberg, Carrick, Lyubushkin in could be a deal. I'd want more in picks but I'm prepared to be underwhelmed given the black hole of a cap situation we're in.
 
Still liking the idea of Zadarov, team could use a physical presence. Maybe see if Phil the Thrill has anything left, they could use someone who can score a few goals and not hit the goalie or over pass.

With JVR looking like a shrewd signing and Lucic no longer being on the team we do kind of have an opening for a skilled slower big veteran. I'd sign Perry for the minimum.

I have to disagree

JVR (and Shattenkirk) ... .look like have ran out of gas

I don't even notice JVR when he is one the ice. He doesn't hit. He doesn't hold the puck along the boards.

Some opportunistic points doesn't give him a pass imo

TBH I would either drop these two to reserves. Or waive them. Call up Lohrei or even someone like Mitchell.

On offense, I rather see Lysell. Heck I rather see Steen play than JVR.

Did Don have to spend up to the cap? Brown, Boqvist, Shattenkirk, JVR for example are not necessary signings imo. You could have got their level of production from Providence

Now you have little to no flexibility to sign someone decent off waivers or call up Lysell for example. Difficult to make trades.

I guess Don likes pain..... He just keeps putting himself in a bind. If I was Gold, I would be sick of it.

Lohrei-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Gryz-Lyubushkin
Shattenkirk

Forbort Moved in trade back for cap reasons? Let Lohrei figure it out with an elite partner just like Mac did with Chara. Gryz slides down and helps mask some of Lyubushkins deficiencies while he does the same for Gryz.

I guess? I’m not sure that really solves anything though, especially putting 3 righties on the PK. At best a lateral move even with ridding yourself of Forbort.
 
If I’m trading with Calgary, I bring in Zadorov and leave Hannifin right there. No need to continue the obsession with Mass born players.
 
Debrusk Zacha Pasta
Marchy Poitras Coyle
JVR Frederic Lysell
Heinen Beecher Geekie/Steen/Lauko

Lysell is doing great, get confidence, Bruins play like shit need to score...why not!
