Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VIII

[Gee Wally]

Absolutely


If it were for say Coyle and small add, I would do it.

And the Rangers would laugh like hell.

Chabot might be available from Ottawa.....remember when lots had the "we should have taken Chabot" blues? Yuk @ $8M

 

[Absurdity]

I honestly don't know if I would trust Sweeney making any trades. Hopefully the Bruins turn it around in the next few weeks, but if the Bruins stay around .500 by the New Year, then I think someone else should make the decisions.

Where did you hear that? He is playing good hockey so a bit surprised reading what you said.

Chabot cementing himself as a top NHL defenceman

Senators defenceman proving he’s one of the best at his position, but the rest of the lineup hasn’t held up their end of the bargain, Travis Yost writes.

From Sens board they think Norris could be available, not Chabot.

 

[HumBucker]

It does feel like a bandaid move, though. I can see them doing it, but I’d prefer they resist the now mentality and try to work on either a) getting one of their young offensive talents geared up (which means playing them warts and all) or B) pursue someone much younger than Kreider.

I hear ya, but this team lacks scoring. Plus, maybe the guys they trade for Kreider open up spots for Merk or Lysell.

Its like on the Bruins board trading the entire Bruin line up, one day or another. lol

 

[Clode]

Uh oh, just realized Kreider is from Mass...

Who else has he acquired that fits that criteria? Genuinely curious.

 

[wintersej]

Would anyone do Carlo in a package for Kreider?

If he was 5 years younger, sure. But he isn’t.

 

[bbfan419]

And the Rangers would laugh like hell.

Probably, but what I meant was that is the only way you trade for guy almost 34.

Fan590, Nick Kypreos and his crew spitballing saying they only need one of Sanderson or Chabot. Chabot price tag is too steep for a softie. Don't shoot the messenger but makes sense to me.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

The addition of Kreider would likely be a boon for the PP, though he wouldn't fix a roster full of guys that can't pass and refuse to shoot.

It does sound like something Harry would have been all over. Then Kreider would get hooked on bath salts, run over the Bruins' goalie and take a 180 day leave of absence from the team.

This is a great post. My wife asked me what I was laughing at. She then wondered if my meds had gotten the best of me and wondered if it was time to take my phone and tablet away from me.

Would anyone do Carlo in a package for Kreider?

Man, it's tempting.

Kreider is the perfect LW for Pasta. If Bertuzzi worked, Kreider is a bigger, faster, better defensive Bertuzzi but similar game around the net. He's a big volume shooter so he'd help get with that part of our team game. He'd help with the PP. He's scored 24 goals in his last 43 playoff games so he shows up and performs in the post-season. He stays reasonably healthy. And honestly, his contract is a bargain. $6.5m for 40ish goals?

On the other hand, I hate giving up assets for someone over 30, and you always worry about guys falling off a cliff over 33. I'd prefer to go for someone younger... but if the price was right I think I'd take the risk.

Is Carlo the right price? Who replaces Carlo in the top4? We don't have the cap to do a Frederic/Carlo for Kreider/Trouba type deal. Two deals? Carlo for Kreider and Frederic for a RHD? But who? Now I'm just thinking out loud.

I don’t know, but I’d love to have Kreider and Trouba both.

 

[Babajingo]

So, mortgage more future for the possibility of making it to the second round?

Pass.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Absolutely


If it were for say Coyle and small add, I would do it.

In the previous 3 season Kreider has scored 127 goals.

For Coyle and a small add?

Would anyone do Carlo in a package for Kreider?

Rangers have no need of Carlo.

 

[Blowfish]

Are we talking March 1 trade ideas or immediate?

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Would anyone do Carlo in a package for Kreider?

I’d think about it . How long is Lindholm supposed to be out ?

 

[HumBucker]

How old was Iginla when he came to the Bruins, mid-30s?

 

[PlayMakers]

Rangers have no need of Carlo.

I don't think that's true. The Rangers are bad defensively. They're bottom 3rd in xGA, they have the worst rush defense in the league. Shesterkin is a game changer for them. On top of that, they're about to trade Trouba.

I think they'd love Carlo. I don't really think he's available though.

 

[PlayMakers]

How old was Iginla when he came to the Bruins, mid-30s?

He was 36. And he scored 30 goals, 61 points and was a +34 that season, fwiw.

He scored 29 the next year with Colorado.
