Zegras for Coyle and they get a couple prospects is good for both teams. I'm not coughing up Poitras for him but Merk or Lysell sure.

Or Carlo for him? Absolutely I'll even drive him to California myself.

Sorry this isn't PlayStation you're not going to get zagres for one pic and 2 terrible players

2 terrible players is a stretch. Geekie hasn't been off to the best start but he's an RFA and coming off a 40 point campaign. He was also 2nd on our team in goalscoring in the playoffs...Lysell although unproven, definitely holds value on draft pedigree and skill alone.

IMO, Zegras isn't worth it. 18 points in his last 41 games, 40 percent career at the faceoff dot and dropping so badly, they don't even have him taking draws regularly anymore. Non existent physical game will see him burned alive here. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs but I don't think he's going to find that here in Boston, especially at his cap hit. Lindholm isn't going anywhere after signing that big deal and I think the plan is for Poitras to become the 2nd line center in the near future.

There is no doubt Zegras has flaws but what other options do they have? He has legit 1st line center upside and that chance doesn't come around often.

I feel like Lindholm has those intangibles so Zegras' weakness can be hidden, sort of like Krejci and Bergeron in a way. They can compliment eachother. Lindholm should be taking the defensive zone draws, 1st unit PK, lining up against teams best players.

Zegras should be getting the offensive zone starts, playing with Pasta and supported defensively and on draws by Zacha, facilitating on the PP (a huge weakness that needs to be addressed)

The Bruins also have the leadership group to let Zegras grow and be himself. He definitely needs to continue to work on being a pro and rounding out a complete game but if those work themselves out (he's only 23) then you could have a star on your hands.

Look no further than Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier. Hughes has a worst F0% percentage than Zegras and has never played a short handed shift in his life. Nico does all the heavy lifting defensively but they compliment each other well.

Only way the Bruins can trade for Zegras, is if it is something like Coyle + Merkulov, also the Ducks would have to not be on Coyle's 8-team no trade list. Not giving any top picks or anything of high value for Zegras.

Dont need this diva Bruins have enough guys who dont want to mix physicaly, Lohrei, H.Lindholm, Poitras, Zacha...

zegras is softer than all the bruins he mentioned. Poitras out here dominating the boards and this guy still has comments.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that Zegras is deficient in some areas, particularly his defensive game, FO%, compete, etc. but his skill is undeniable. He is only 23 and by all accounts his all-around game is growing (at a detriment to point totals). I think the hope is that he would improve upon those here with the culture/accountability in Boston.

When you are stuck in a position like the Bruins are now with limited picks/prospects and a lack of skill in your top six, you don't really have many options. Rentals shouldn't even be considered at this point.

It's still early in the year so we don't know who could be available but by the looks of things, Zegras is the only player I see out there who can become a legit #1 center

Would anyone consider doing a Josh Anderson for Charlie Coyle trade? 5 pts in 12 games this season, just beat the brakes off Tom Wilson, gives us some much needed size and toughness in the top 6. I know he's been regressing in Montreal but dude might need a change of scenery and Poitras could use a big winger for protection.

Not giving up Coyle or Carlo for him, maybe give him both Merkolov and Lysell, but to be honest I really don't want him anyways.

I understand what you are saying about Anderson, he has not been what I thought he might be in Montreal, but no way straight up for Coyle, if you can add him fine but only on the cheap..........Yes, I do want my cake and eat too.
