Zegras has played his whole pro career on a crappy small market team where he's probably been encouraged to do highlight reel shit to sell tickets. I think you could see a very different player on a team that's actually playing for something. Marchy and Pasta would be great influences as skilled guys that can work hard. (I know Pasta's defensive game is far from perfect but he throws his body around a good amount).

We're not going to get a talent like his in the draft. If he's attainable for Lysell+pick or two+bad contract I do it in a heartbeat.
Zegras is spelled " HEADACHE"
 

Let's not give that douche clicks.
 
Stay the coarse and add a el cheapo deadline move. Just give up a 6th round pick for maybe a guy like Ryan Donato. If Heinen has excelled here maybe Donato will too. Find bargains.

Like the Monahan idea. Always productive center he' been beset by injuries the past few years, His surgery {Hip} appears to have healed. Could possibly be had for a Grzylcyk type contract. Both UFAs at season's end.
 
I like the idea of Monahan. Not realistic and I’m not even sure he fits. But I’ve always been a big fan of his.

Just a FWIW. If they can sign him for what he's making in MTL, I guess. I don't know much about the player.

IF true, then the Bruins are barking up the wrong tree.

For perhaps the thousandth time, they need two bangers, one on D, one up front. Acquiring same should not be difficult.

But, Don Sweeney has to want to acquire them. That's the tricky part.
 
Shockingly, Monahan seems to have recovered from his numerous injuries. He is not the playmaking type of center the Bruins need however. I would also be wary of dealing with Hughes and Gorton. They generally win their trades, especially the smaller ones.
Ok
 
I want no part of Zegras here. Kid is a complete hot dog. Prototypical new generation kid who cares more about making the highlight reels with his gimmick Michigan goals than he does fighting for position on ice and getting to the dirty areas. Kid is ALLERGIC to fighting for pucks.

Zegras made to be a Leaf
Sounds like the perfect new-age Bruin.
 
We have to either sign DeBrusk soon or trade him. Can’t let him walk for nothing.

They will sign him or let him walk. It’s just how Sweeney operates. Probably sign him because Sweeney isn’t going to let the top producing forward he’s ever drafted just walk away. He will overpay for him if necessary.

Add on to that they received a first round pick from the Flames for taking on Monahan, this will be a win/win for Gorton and the Habs.

Sox and Yankees made a trade recently……I’d bet there was probably never a time where the Sox-Yanks and B’s - Habs have ever made a trade in the same 12 month span.

Because of the injury bug we need a....forward?

There are reasons to trade for a forward. But Forbort, Carlo and Linus injuries aren't the reason.

I don't think the single forward we have injured right now (and it sounds minor) is why we have to go get an F.

Hey, I don't want him, either. Just a FWIW.

It has Sweeney written all over it, however.
