Boston Bruins 22-‘23 Bruins roster and trade proposals discussions. VII

[Kegs]

So to be clear, people want to trade a 1st, Lauko and Reilly+ (probably if a minimum of the market gets competitive) so that Toews can play something like 10 minutes a night on the 4th?

Look if that's what you want to give up for that, give up another really great prospect in the deal and go get something better and younger.

HOWEVER

If Toews agrees to the Bergy/Krejci special, and signs for 1M+2M Bonus next year, now you have my attention. Figgy also agrees to 1M+bonus, and have them on a 3rd line next year. Toews made a lot of money on that last deal. Might just be open to playing on a mega winner for 2 years before hanging them up. But for one year of Toews, I'd rather another deal (personally).

I don’t think ppl want that. It’s what dom thinks it would cost. I think Lauko stays. I wonder the extent of Toews ntc. He would be a really nice piece to add. He is clutch on face offs.

Imagine bruins up by 1. 3rd period. 30 seconds on the clock. Defensive zone. Game 7 (lol it’s like playing mini sticks when I was 9) Bergeron is thrown out the face off. Toews steps in and wins it clean.

 

[Over the volcano]

I don’t have much interest in Toews in general, but I have less then zero interest in bringing him back next year. We need to get younger not older.

We need to make the most of Bergeron's final years first. If I didn't think he were coming back I'd be right there with you.

The Boston Bruins were one of the many teams that made a serious push for Jakob Chychrun at the deadline last season. They ended up ending their pursuit after acquiring Hampus Lindholm from the Anaheim Ducks, but NHL insider Pierre LeBrun has now reported that Boston have once again entered the Chychrun sweepstakes.


It ultimately makes sense that the Bruins are looking to bring in Chychrun. After all, they just missed on Bo Horvat, so bringing in a star defenseman like Chychrun would be a sweet way to make up for it. Chychrun would be a notable upgrade over Matt Grzelcyk on the top pairing if acquired, and he would make Boston's top four look significantly better heading into the final stretch of the year.

Several teams are looking to acquire Chychrun, so there is no guarantee that the Bruins will be the lucky team to win the sweepstakes. Yet, if they have it their way, Chychrun will be sporting black and gold by March 3.

Lol. I wish. But I don’t know. Is that website even a real source ? Seems like recycled information. They probably are in on him tho. I don’t see why not. But to b fair it seems they adding Toews instead. Can they add both with the cap? I dunno. I’m bad at maths.

Don’t worry Sweeney has this. He going to be the best gm of the entire cap era if it all goes his way

It is recycled information...lol. I need something to read (that brings me hope for a good player in return).

 

[PlayMakers]

Very interesting that people would have Toews, a playoff MVP and borderline HOF'er, on the 4th line as a checker under Coyle.

Interesting is one word for it. Delusional is another.

Countdown to TradeCentre: Edmonton Oilers, L.A. Kings and Boston Bruins chasing Jakob Chychrun? | TSN

With the March 3 Trade Deadline approaching, TSN.ca takes you through the latest trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat.

www.tsn.ca

Contenders to compete for Chychrun?
Jakob Chychrun has been a mainstay on the TSN Trade Bait board for more than a year, but it appears interest could be picking up once again in the Arizona Coyotes defenceman.

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports that the Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings and Boston Bruins have all expressed interest in Chychrun as the deadline approaches.

"It’s an interesting sub-plot when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings, Pacific Division rivals who played each other in the first round last year: they’re calling for a lot of left-handed shot defencemen," LeBrun said on Insider Trading Tuesday. "Jakob Chychrun is at the top, both teams have expressed interest, but you can go down the list when it comes to Joel Edmundson, both teams have talked to [the Montreal Canadiens] about, [Vladislav] Gavrikov [of the Columbus Blue Jackets], so that’s the fascinating part here if you’re Columbus or Montreal or Arizona if you’re trying to pit these teams against each other. But believe me, the Kings and Oilers are waiting for these prices to come down, they don’t want to let emotions take control.

"Another thing I should mention on Chychrun, who a lot of people in the league believe Los Angeles still makes the most sense [as a landing spot] given their need on the left side, the Boston Bruins are another contender of late that have also inquired with the Coyotes on the young defenceman."

Chychrun, who is listed at No. 2 on the trade bait board behind only Timo Meier, has seven goals and 27 points in 35 games this season after missing time early due to injury. The 24-year-old is signed through the 2024-25 season at a cap hit of $4.6 million.

While it's unclear if the price tag has dropped, LeBrun reported in November that the Coyotes were seeking two first-round picks plus either a prospect or a young NHL player in any deal for Chychrun, who was selected 16th overall in the 2016 draft by Arizona.

I don’t think Toews is the way to make the most of Bergeron’s final years. I could be convinced that you can get one more good cup run out of him in a bottom 6 role, but Toews is close to finished imo. I have no interest in him at all behind this year.

 

[goldnblack]

I don’t have much interest in Toews in general, but I have less then zero interest in bringing him back next year. We need to get younger not older.

Why in god's name would anyone want to give up assets for Toews, and then NOT take him at the ridiculous bargain basement price for 23-24 in a scenario where Krejci potentially retires. I don't undertstand.

There's no oven-ready center prospect you can plug in just yet. If you got Toews for 1M+ bonus or something, you pop a bottle of champagne and you plug him in knowing you've just pushed back your dilemma by another year most likely.

The mistake people are making is looking for the ideal situation. There isn't one most likely. But a good stop gap like what we did with Krejci is just what the team needs to take another run at a cup next year.

A guy who is the top face-off man in the NHL and on pace for nearly 50pts while playing with a pair nobody's is close to finished?

Empty stats on a bad team, I think he’s slow and very bad defensively now

If you're giving up prospects, draft picks, and cap space...why not go for someone younger, bigger, and plays with speed. Bruins have okay speed however nothing like the Canes. The team Boston can't seem to keep up with. Will Toews help the Bruins take down the Canes?

From Chicago I like Domi. I believe if that's the direction the bruins will take.

 

[Dizzay]

No contender is doing the Bruins a favor by taking Smith and giving up a 3rd. Plenty of other "Smiths" in the league that can be acquired and not have to help out a team you're probably going to have to play in the SCF.

Your logic makes no sense.

Guess we'll see Don........I mean Gonzo!

Barbashev can play centre is young and has experience to blend with his size and heavy game he plays.Bruins should target him before he lands on a team in the way.

Are Krejci and Foligno fast? If Toews comes here he isn't going to be sent over the boards against the team's top pairings and lines. Just the opposite, he'll face much easier competition here.

The Bruins just took CAR to a 7 game series last season without Krejci on the roster, Lindholm not 100% and Ullmark being good by not great. This year the Bruins a 1-1 vs CAR and their loss came on the 2nd game of a B2B and their 3rd game in 4 nights.

Toews is okay but don't think he improves the bruins chances of winning cup.

IMO it's a risky move, Toews may disrupt existing chemistry and the cost is too much for Toews. Bruins will most likely need to give up a good draft pick, roster player (Frederik?), and decent prospect.

Hawk fans confirmed his speed, goal scoring, and play making has dropped significantly. Bruins have decent F/O players behind Bergeron. Toews is not worth a bunch of assets. Not worth the risk. Leverage the assets for something better.

What exactly are you implying with this picture? I see no reason why Boston would have to give up so much for Toews.

Toews made a lot of money on that last deal. Might just be open to playing on a mega winner for 2 years before hanging them up. But for one year of Toews, I'd rather another deal (personally).

yeah this is the only way i'd bite on it, agree

Bruins cant win in Carolina though( recently) and Canes don't win in Boston.Better get home ice if that's the plan.

Meier was meant to be a separate post however HFB automatically added to a previous post. The point is that is a pretty impressive stat for Meier.

IMO the cost to land Toews is worrisome. What makes you think it wouldn't cost much?
