Weighing the pros and cons of a Noah Hanifin trade for the Bruins

Is now the time for the Bruins to swing a trade for local product Noah Hanifin? We weigh the pros and cons of a blockbuster deal.

[KnightofBoston]

Im all for trading DeBrusk for the right price as well as Ullmark but if we subtract DeBrusk and Ullmark to add Hanifin I’m not sure it helps us overall this year. It’s a good future move but you’re probably not considering what the bruins really need this season and that’s ok if your goal isn’t to win the cup this year but have a better shot the next 5 years

 

[Number8]

We should buy low in Ruzicka loved Rosie back in the day and he is big.

Think this Ruzicka would return a 27th round pick after his latest post.

 

[neelynugs]

rumor or speculation in eye of the beholder. And gets more hazy this time of year

indeed. elliotte is a good dude and has great sources, but this seems more like "i could see it" than "i heard this".

He never has anything on the Bruins. “I wonder if…”

You guys suggesting DeBrusk and Ullmark for RNH need to destroy your armchair GM credentials immediately

Unbelievable

And I’m not even a Jake guy

Embarrassed for y’all

 

[TCB]

If the rumors are true about Debrusk/Ullmark potentially on the move. I hope it somehow it’s for a center and we bring up lysell.

Bruins Trade Talk: Bruins Trade Chips, More Ullmark Chatter

Not that this is a surprise, given they don’t have many to offer, but the Boston Bruins reportedly will not be using draft picks and prospects as NHL trade chips. Instead, Bruins general manager will likely be trading away current roster players if he does indeed wheel and deal again heading...

So is there any truth behind what I heard on the Sports Hub that they are putting the handcuffs on Sweeney, only players can be traded this year, no draft capital?

 

[Alan Ryan]

Who is going to want an injured free agent grz ? Only way is we attach more draft picks which we are already short of

I won't be surprised to see Grzelcyk stay in Boston for the remainder of the season and then leave as a free agent (no compensation for Boston).

agree over payment for a meh player

 

[JoeIsAStud]

That would be disappointing given his play this year. If he is here he is almost certainly going to play, well until the playoffs start

No idea, they don't have much draft capital, as even to move a 25 #1, they would have to put conditions on it at the moment.

However he leaves at this point I don't care as long as he is not in a Bruin uniform next season. Preferably he is not going forward this year

RNH being considered a meh player is hilarious, guy scored 100 last year lmao

I wouldn't call him a meh player, but last year was very much an outlier

If you take him away from Edmonton he almost certainly returns back to a 60-65 point player. that assumes no age related decline

Still not a meh guy at 65 points a year

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Don Sweeney is also in attendance. I wonder if they'll get together to talk about anything unrelated to Quinnipiac?

 

[GordonHowe]

I would give time stamps, but the entire episode is worth viewing.

Who are you going to believe, Don Sweeney or your lying eyes?

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Whats the deal with Gasseau? Expected to sign with us when BC's season ends and burn a year off his ELC?

 

[ON3M4N]

He's not meh, but his 100pt season is without a doubt a career year and outlier. Outside of last season, he had only cracked 60+ pts twice in 11yrs

Well I certainly know I’m not going to believe freaking Haggs lol

 

[CDJ]

Absolutely

Very few ppl even capable of 100 in a career year though
