Boston Bruins Top Trade Assets

With Don Sweeney working the phones to find a potential deal to improve his team for not just this season but beyond, and with no draft picks in the first three rounds of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, …

[Grimey]

He's as good as gone. lol

Boone Jenner must be thinking “whoa now, I didn’t exactly say that…”

 

[Gordoff]

Boone Jenner it is then!

 

[Dr Hook]

He's as good as gone. lol

It’s the player version of the dreaded vote of confidence.

 

[bruinmann77]

I still think if no deal for Jake he has to go on the block.

I think most think Hanafin will be a Bruin as FA

 

[DKH]

Dan is the guy that loves Hanifin.I have started watching him way closer since and he was right about him.He would instantly make Bruins better in a couple areas.Beautiful skater and that will help as he ages.

Bruins add Hanifin and a tough 4th line winger - I’m ready to roll

I can’t agree with many friends on anything- politics, dogs, Patriots moves, pizza, women, but we do agree - Donny adds Hanifin that D is outstanding

I agree but I don't think it's happening unless he makes it to free agency in the summer. Doubt we can win any sort of bidding war with other trade deadline teams interested in him ....nor do I think we should empty our almost bare cupboards...Calgary will be looking for a very big return

 

[Guelph Bruin]

the one that got away for me ...and several others on this board

Griddy and Gritty: Zadorov ready to do whatever it takes for Canucks

From hitting a revenge Griddy against the Red Wings to protecting his teammates, Nikita Zadorov's personality on and off the ice has endeared the Canucks, and their fans, to him. "Exactly what the doctor ordered," said Rick Tocchet.

Still can get him when we actually have cap in the offseason

Why the Bruins Should Sign Adam Mechura

[GordonHowe]

Problem for CBJ is they have so many bad, borderline untradeable contracts that the next GM pretty much has to work with what he has an re-tool rather than rebuild. They can't get out from under Gaudreau, Werenski, Gudbranson, Severson, Merzlikins, Laine, etc. and all are signed for a minimum two more years after this one.

Their only real assets of value are Jenner, UFA Roslovic, Provorov, and their young players and picks.

You can't say ownership meddled or didn't allow Jarmo plenty of time and rope.

He finally ran out of both.

I hope JD can right the ship.

Flames Assistant GM watching the Bruins again today:

 

[FRyan4426]

Something needs to happen before this goes totally south. And it needs to happen by tomorrow.

 

[IveGotToBeMe]

It’s time for a good old fashioned hockey trade (including Ullmark) not just a prospect and pick for a 7th forward/5th defenseman type. We aren’t close to blow it up mode but we need something meaningful and, unfortunately, that usually includes some fan favorites (think like Espo type trade). Sorry but it’s time if this team thinks they will get anywhere in the playoffs. Need to stop thinking of fringe trades.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

This isn’t the team to waste assets on adding to

 

[FRyan4426]

13 74 39 once again floating passengers again today. Totally useless.

Coyle with his stick on the wrong side of his body on the tying goal was masterclass. Third line player on any other team in the NHL not in Boston

 

[Alicat]

Coyle is having a career year. He's done everything and more than what he's been asked to. Geekie set up the Frederic goal and was battling along the boards. The issue on that line is 74.

 

[Absurdity]

I want to see Lysell play with Marchand and Coyle. Beecher needs to be called up. Bruins have a few weeks to determine if DeBrusk fits with Zacha and Pastrnak since that should be DeBrusk's spot long-term if he's extended.

Bruins need to trade for a LD to replace Grzelcyk and/or Forbort.

AGM of the Flames was apparently there for the 2nd straight game. Shouldn't let him leave town without the framwork of a Hanifin deal done. Team desperately needs another real top 4 defenseman to play next to McAvoy.

They need to replace both, quickly. I give Forbort a bit of a break as I think he is still hurt

Forbort has been good with Wotherspoon, they have like a 70% xG% on like 25% ozone starts together. Can't ask for much more out of your third pair.

He needs to stop worrying about his next payday. Guy has scored 50 pts in a season once and is on pace for 40 points this season, Why would they want to lock him up long term? It's going to take 6+ and for that, pass. Let him put it together maybe with someone else.
