Totally made up. Worse than “reckless disregard for the truth,” Murphy knows it is false when he types it.

Moving Carlo at this time of year would be a pretty stong indicator that we are throwing the towel in on 2024/25 post season. I think, until anything becomes clear, it's fair to question whether ownership will greenlight that strategy or not.

Salt and light
So "agreement in principle" Murphy says we will either take a top prospect or a low second. There is a big gap between those two things......
there's really no world where Carlo isn't bringing back a first + a prospect IMO. You're talking about a top 4 shutdown RD that has handled some of the hardest deployment in the league over the past couple years who is also signed under 5mil for another 2 years and still isn't 30 yet.

World makes more sense when you realize Murphy has been here as long as he has because there are people dumb and gullible enough to keep him in business.

I’m not sure the excitement over Middkestat
He is not the second coming of Rick Middleton

Leaning into the camp of Marchand only for an immediate impact top 6 roster player, or top 8 OA pick. Both require more to happen, and likely a third team.
Hard to see any team that benefits from Marchand for the playoffs has those assets to spare upfront, but sending Marchand to contender, our 1st + prospect to 3rd team, and Contenders 1st + prospect to 3rd team could be the start to move the needle for teams drafting 4-8 OA.
Sign Marchand in the summer and have Misa or McQueen center is the dream

I want what you are smoking, Are you talking about the Carlo that plays for the Bruins?
There's no point in getting wound up over make believe. The reason he keeps throwing shit at the wall is because people latch on to it.

Boston Bruins Officially Reveal Their Asking Price For Top Pairing Defenseman As Trade Talks Heat Up
The Boston Bruins have reportedly revealed their asking price for a top defenseman as trade talks have been heating up recentlywww.bruinsinsider.com
I’m not typically skeptical of trade rumors, because I think with. 32 teams and over 600 regular players in the league, I think lots of guys names come up in conversation.
What I am skeptical about is leaks like this, where a “selling” GM tips his hand as to what he’ll take for a guy, especially if it’s a reasonable expectation.
Why put it in other GM’s heads that you think Carlo is worth a 2 and top prospect?
Why not say a 1 and a “prospect”?
Shooting high and working down is a much better plan.
Regardless of approach, I really hope DS hit a home run in a trade or two this spring.
This team needs it.
Sweeney is as tight lipped as they come. I honestly doubt that he'd (or anyone who works with/for him) sit down and tell Murphy anything as wildly dumb as that.
If ownership were involved and against a rebuild/retool behind the scenes?

He is a top pairing shutdown defenseman ----- hilarious when describing Carlo.Boston Bruins Officially Reveal Their Asking Price For Top Pairing Defenseman As Trade Talks Heat Up

Also, if the Bruins wanted a 2nd round pick he would have been dealt already 25 teams would have offered that.
Bruins not looking to move him...of course they aren't these guys are more secure than they deserve to be.

Actually, I think that might be exactly what happened.
"Hey Donny. Jimmy Murphy is on phone. Wants to know if Carlo is in play and what you'd want for him."
"Tell Jimmy Thin Skins we'll take a 2nd and used barca lounger for the office."
Whole room bursts into laughter. Meanwhile, on the other end of the line Jimmy's chest gets all puffed up - thinking he's finally an insider.

A second round pick for Carlo? No way that's the "asking price." Asking prices start high and come down. David Savard was traded for a 1st round pick.Boston Bruins Officially Reveal Their Asking Price For Top Pairing Defenseman As Trade Talks Heat Up

That right there says it all. The suggestion that a 2nd and a top prospect are of the same value is just more nonsense.
If this type of player is that valued, they should ask for a 2nd + top prospect or a 1st +Boston Bruins Officially Reveal Their Asking Price For Top Pairing Defenseman As Trade Talks Heat Up

Nope, don't need another 3rd line type in Middlestedt.
