Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XI

[Kegs]

Prior to Pastrnak the Bruins last 50 goal scorer was Cam Neely in the 80’s. Elite goal scorers don’t grow on trees.

You trade Pastrnak and you’ll create a major hole. The entire team is underperforming. So picking on Pastrnak specifically and pushing to trade him is wild.

I’m not picking on him. Pettersson is younger, plays a position of need and has already hit 100 points. Pettersson is a blossoming superstar. I love pasta. It was difficult to write. I just feel like it would be a good hockey trade.

Honest question:

If Pastrnak was pacing for his regular goal/point totals and the Bruins were having a relatively successful season, would you still be lauding this idea?

Petterson isn't exactly the type that puts a team on his back and wills them to victory, he'd need help. You deal Pastrnak for him who's left to be his wingman? Zacha? A well past his prime Marchand?

Would make zero sense to deal Pastrnak for him. Put them together and you could have something, but can't see that ever happening.

How many times have you watched Pettersson play?

Here is how I see it. If Boston sends pasta it leaves a hole at rw. If Vancouver sends Pettersson for pasta it leaves a hole at centre for them. That’s why I included coyle as a second line option for Vancouver and garland as a rw to fill both holes created in this trade.

I love pasta. I just don’t see Vancouver sending their super star with out giving up a super star. They aren’t looking for futures. They want to win right now. Both teams in fact want to win now. I highly doubt Pettersson even gets moved. But if they are going to move him it will take a legit hockey trade not an ea sports trade.

Browsing the Vancouver board & the way they talk about their defence is almost exactly the way the offense is talked about here & other Bruins forums. A Boston-Vancouver swap just makes too much sense that I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet especially with both teams in slides.

I’ve also proposed mcavoy for Pettersson. Pettersson is the type of player that could solve the bruins centre position for a long time.

I've seen Pettersson play dozens of times, just strikes as a guy that needs more top forwards around him to help him with the work load. If things went south (and they would with the Bruins group of forwards) I could see Pettersson lose confidence and have some lengthy slumps. Just don't see this as a base for a good deal.

A long time ago - very early in the season, I proposed a McAvoy for Pettersson trade. I also had Vancouver include Myers and Boston include Coyle to make the money work and help both teams at their newly weakened positions.

I never followed up on the responses. I still think it is a bit larger than Laine for Dubois, or more accurately, Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones. Defence for Centre

EP would never score 110 with the #2 scorer in the 60s. Ever. EP is good. Very good. Pasta is the next level up, even when you include the positional difference.

Difference is that Nashville was dealing from a position of already having Weber, Josi, Ellis and Ekholm.

Serious question here, with the calendar Bs have til the 4 nations break, can they win 3 games? Maybe Buffalo, maybe Sharks, mabye...

They just beat the Panthers so kind of a weird post.

Not really.
They haven’t been playing good , entered today on a 6 game losing streak and 9 times out of 10 if the play the way they did today, they lose.

This type of deal imo makes more sense than dealing Pasta in a deal for Pettersson.

Thanks for filling me in.

It’s weird to say they can’t beat anyone when they just beat someone regardless of the details.

NP

But the poster didn’t say they can’t beat anyone, they asked if they could win 3 more before the break.

An honest question considering the way this team been playing.

The season Pettersson scored 102 points he did it with Mikheyev and Kuzmenko. Kuzmenko had 74 points that season but hasn't had more than 25 points a season since. Mikheyev's career high is 32 points. The next season Pettersson played with those two again (more than any other combination anyway) and neither one of them had more than 31 points but Petterson still put up 89 points.

Counter. Over the past 2.5 seasons EP has a 68% goals for % with Hughes on the ice and 47% without. 77 on ice goals in 1166 mins with Hughes. 74 in 1503 mins without him.

Although, JT Miller's splits ain't much better so whatever that means. Not sure if its more about how big of a drop-off there is on the D group in Vancouver or if those guys are being driven by Hughes (who I totally admit I thought was just a better Krug longer than I should have).

 

[Coach Parker]

Tomorrow (Sunday) is a big day.

They would NOT have made a move or trade on the Mom's trip out of respect for the players and their Moms.

Now that they are back home and have Tampa Bay and Ottawa this week and the sting of a six game losing streak still fresh, I'd assume this would be the time to make the move.

If not, expect the .500 team to split the next two and then still sit on the outside looking in the following Sunday.

Yeah I was after this guy in the offseason… what the hell happened to him?

Not worth posting about on a message board. Let's just say that chemistry isn't there and wouldn't be AT ALL in Boston.

 

[TCB]

I really don’t think the Canucks are going to move either of their centers, their in a playoff spot 6 games over 500, and I just don’t see how they can do it, and better their team.

 

[CellyHard]

What would you add to Coyle and Carlo (9.35) for JT Miller and Vincent Desharnis (10)

Desharnis is probably close to a cap dump at this point but they need someone to replace Carlo's minutes one way or another and they are supposedly shopping him as well

The bigger question is would Coyle and Carlo go along with or block the trade?
Would Miller block it since it's rumored that he (supposedly, according to some) want's to be a Ranger again?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Players values aside and i doubt either gets traded but its a bit of a difficult situation because EP is younger, more skilled, and is a better player on paper but Miller might have the spark to him that forces the rest of the team to be more engaged and to play to his intensity. I still take EP personally but I can see the argument for Miller as well.
