Meh I prefer to look at what a guy has done over the last 3 years as it seems more relevant to now vs what he did 8,9,10 years ago.

Kessel got his cups in PIT on a pretty loaded team. His 3rd cup in VGK he played 4 games and didn't see the ice after the first round. Eichel was solid, but he also went to an already very good VGK team. He put them over the top, but there were very good before Eichel arrived.

I'm beating the drums to trade pasta for that 2nd overall or 3rd overall and get either carlsson or fantilli . With the cap savings you sign sway and bert. Our center for the now and the future. Getting a potential franchise center for years is gonna cost huge these type of centers come once a blue moon. Fantilli could be the best of the lot and could even better be better then bedard. He has a lot of toews in him. The problem I see is Columbus and ducks say get lost not enough.
Reading about trading 61-goal scoring Pastrnak from my fellow Bruins fans is making me crumble to my knees in uncontrollable disgust

Bruins would be going in a full rebuild if they move Pastrnak which I don't see happening. The new Bruins' core is young enough to build around.
The only thing that seems to make some sense would be to send a couple of boys with Western Canadian connections (JDB & Hall) to Calgary for some of their guys that won't be signing long-term (Lindholm & Hanifin). Then maybe sign Bert, put Zacha as the other top 6 wing, sign Bergy for 1 year $1M 35+ contract, unload salary and fill with cheap young guys and vets. Even then you probably have to trade away Ullmark and maybe Coyle. That would be a lot of moving parts.

How bad of a look would that be for the franchise though? You sign your star player to the riches deal in team history so he doesn't make it to FA.... only to turn around and trade him to an NHL cellar dweller before his NMC kicks in.
So if we they don't make any trades today so as not to distract from Ullmark and Bergeron's awards tonight, is it fair to assume we see Sweeney make his first move tomorrow? Gotta think they want to get something done before the draft, maybe acquire another 3rd or move into the 2nd round.

Gotta let Ullmark win the Vezina as a Bruin... Then trade him

Its the price to get a elite center on a top heavy draft. Fantilli ain't chicken feed and guys like debrusk or even McAvoy wont get one .
Me too, dynamic big center, wants out, good salary...i see a swap with Ullmark cause they re gonna lose Helly

don, don, don....why on earth would we trade one of the best goal scorers in the league for Fantilli, who we have no idea what success he will have in the league.

I'll do that in a heartbeat and drive linus to the airport. Doubt Chevy would do it probably need to add more.
I love to sell sky high getting potentially the best kid in the draft. I'm in.

But are you not drafting him in hopes he becomes (even 75%) of the player Pastrnak is?

Pasta 27 years old put 61 goals his age is absolutely perfect to sell at highest point and 61 goals is probably the highest he can reach. The stock is at the boiling point. Sell. Get a boatload for him and make this franchise even stronger for the now and future.
dude you gotta drop this, seriously

I like that over trading away one of the NHL's most lethal goal scorers for a prospect you hope becomes as franchise altering as Pastrnak.

How does the franchise get stronger "in the now" by trading Pastrnak and drafting Fantilli? The simple answer is - it doesn't.
If we made that trade we might as well sell the farm - Marchand, McAvoy, Lindholm, Carlo...etc....see ya.
And then you want them to sign Bertuzzi? For what reason?

I know it ain't gonna happen unfortunately. We gotta tank to get one of these stud young centers. Anyways I got high hopes for poitras to take the reins. Kid put 95 points in ohl and has signed a entry level deal. Keeping an eye on him.
Lots of cap space and signing bert and sway and getting a solid 1A potential center for now and future . Team gets better.

Regardless of actual talent....
The optics of trading away a guy before his extension even kicks in are f***ing awful.

I guess we’re onto the “puke inducing” segment of the thread.
Ullmark probably wouldn't accept the trade would imagine it would be Swayman if its a goalie, leaving Ullmark as the defacto No1 going forward. clear that LA is going after PLD and not a goalie.
I could see someone calling Swayman and DeBrusk/Carlo going out to be "franchise altering" as they are pretty large components of the team
who knows
