Lohrei for Necas
B prospect for Olivier
Sign Lindholm

Marchand-Lindholm-Pasta (perfection 2.0)
Zacha-Coyle-Necas
Freddy-Geekie-Lysell

Chychrun-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Wortherspoon-Peeke

Swayman
Bussi

hate to give up Lohrei

 

[Blowfish]

Not top 10 picks, If Boston wants 7, Swayman is the goalie leaving.

New Jersey

I love Lohrei, I think you need to add something like Ottawa's pick to Lohrei to get Necas, with maybe a bit more coming in from Carolina to balance the deal.

Still leave the Bruins needing some more on D. Preferably Wotherspoon is #7

I like it, may go with Poitras as 4th line center, he could feed Brazeau and Olivier could break anybody running at him.

IMO Lohrei is a non starter for trades, even with bringing in Chychrun. Bruins would need another LHD in because I can't see anyone at the moment in Providence close enough to trust in the NHL if Wotherspoon goes down.

The cost of resigning Chychrun after this year ($7M+) completely obliterates any upgrade he would be over Lohrei. Who will be cheap for 3 years. And in a year it may not be much of an upgrade if any anyway.

 

[ODAAT]

I love Lohrei, I think you need to add something like Ottawa's pick to Lohrei to get Necas, with maybe a bit more coming in from Carolina to balance the deal.

Still leave the Bruins needing some more on D. Preferably Wotherspoon is #7

I don`t move Lohrei, think he has the potential to be a helluva player for years to come on the back end

 

[Pia8988]

And if Ottawa wants a Vezina winner from a division rival, it'll cost the 7th

So Boston will keep wasting cap on the bench in the playoffs, got it.

New Jersey

? If your talking about schneider, that ended poorly for NJ.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Ottawa should have to pay extra to make the Bruins take that contract even for a year, that is at least staple a good 3rd to him to unload the contract, maybe even more

Its only $2.75 mil for next season.

 

[SkullKing]

Would rather not trade Lohrei, plus Carolina has that Nikishin kid. Doubt they want to block him if he's ready

 

[Blowfish]

You gotta believe pasta Zach are begging for necas

 

[NeelyDan]

Lohrei is currently residing comfortably in my untouchable ranks

 

[JOKER 192]

If Ottawa doesn't want to give a decent return for Ullmark let them start the season with the Korps and Forseberg.

That tandem gave up a goal on the 1st or second shot 22 times last season. Let them start the season and when they see yet another season slipping away maybe then they'll double back.

No way you settle on the return for a team in the same division. They actually need to pay a premium.

Give me a fred-poitras-Geekie third line over fred-geekie-lysell

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Its only $2.75 mil for next season.

It's a lot of money for a guy who either gets burried in Providence carrying 1.75 million on the Bruins Cap, or else, gives us poor play off the bench while we see Bussi claimed on waivers by another team

You left Potsy off the team.
No way I am trading Lohrei.
Not a fan of Olivier, we need more than 5 goals from our 4th line LW.
Ullmark trade I would make in a heartbeat, assuming its the 7th pick overall.
Lindholm, have no issues signing him for no more than 4 years.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

I don`t move Lohrei, think he has the potential to be a helluva player for years to come on the back end

I am basically with you on this, but at the same time I don't think Carolina would trade Necas for him without a SIGNIFICANT additional asset in the deal

 

[Blowfish]

I am basically with you on this, but at the same time I don't think Carolina would trade Necas for him without a SIGNIFICANT additional asset in the deal

I see a very fair deal.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

With Lauko's name being possibly included in this deal it tells me that both teams are working hard to make this happen.

 

[TobanWest]

I respect your comedy here, but as someone who’s gone toe to toe with gonzo, I hope you know what you’re signing up for

It’s tough sledding, bro can spar

Not going toe to toe with him and have seen him in action which is fine. Just don't understand why debating Dom makes sense. I'm pretty sure he's mentioned that he doesn't need to post here which he doesn't. Just don't want to see him gone because of people questioning him. Only poster on here that makes me listen when he posts.

 

[BruinDust]

Moving Mason Lohrei is straight up craziness.

Even if they bring in and extend Chychrun, it shouldn't change a darn thing when it comes to Mason Lohrei.

Extend Chychrun, bridge Lohrei for 2-years next summer, and when it's time for Lohrei's big deal, you ship Hampus Lindholm to one of the 16 teams he can't block.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

The cost of resigning Chychrun after this year ($7M+) completely obliterates any upgrade he would be over Lohrei. Who will be cheap for 3 years. And in a year it may not be much of an upgrade if any anyway.

With chychrun having bounced from one bad team to another, do you think he’d have interest in signing a “fair” deal in Boston if he feels he’s on a team heading in the right direction with a good team culture?

 

[Tbaybruin]

For me to much money spent on the D. We need that money spent on quality up front. No to Chick run for me unless he’s flipped. I feel the Bruins will get more for Ullmark if we do a sign and trade.
