He’s a guy I try to get signed. I just don’t see the Bruins getting fair value for him.
Sell high.
I like Geekie, he's been the most consistent forward this season. With that said, If a team offers a 1st and one or two more other good assets, I think the Bruins should do the deal. The Bruins have guys in Providence that can make the jump and fight for bottom 6F spots next season, and Sweeney is good at finding 3rd liners. The Bruins need to focus on adding skill to their forward core. That's not to say Geekie hasn't been playing good, but even with playing with Pastrnak, after tonight's game, he's only on pace to score 4 more points than he did last season where he spent the majority of the season on the 3rd line. He has also played well with Poitras so I wouldn't be opposed to the Bruins keeping him, but if there is an offer the Bruins can't refuse, they should probably do it.
 
Brazeau has disappeared.. I take a 4th for him

Coyle with one of our kids that Seeeney won't call up for a center.

Marchand can stay for 2 years if he takes a pay cut. Otherwise trade him.

Freddie for whatever anyone will offer.

Carlo and the other kid that won't be called up for a winger with speed and hands.

Time to sell. Charlie Mac ain't walking through that door fellas!!

'Anyone wants Brazeau they can have him . Not sure I believe there is a market for him, but take whatever you can get, and play one of the providence kids instead.
 
Watching the 3rd period tonight I have to say, sell anyone who has no fire in the belly.
Marchand has that fire but would he want to go down with the sinking ship or help rescue the ship by leaving and allowing the Bruins to repair/rebuild?
Then, he can come back next season to a refurbished team and with a new 2 year contract.
Sell until it hurts!

love the way he plays

“I want to be a Bruin,” Geekie said Saturday night. “I want to be a Bruin as long as I can be. It’s not up to me. I’m just going to go out there and play. I love every guy in here, and everything about the organization, the culture. However the chips may fall, it’s going to be what it is.”

Making the playoffs without both Hampus & McAvoy healthy is a bad move

They could get likely as low as 7-8 and maybe grab Desnoyers or Bear who fit their needs

Team could be Washington 25-26 with health and a tweek this offseason

I have 5 more home games so win those and I’ll be good

Sell high.
He is an almost ideal sell high guy. Young, hard working third liner with some experience and enough talent to play up a line or two, but he is what he is in the end. You will get some value for him as general managers value high work rate and finishing.
Love his attitude and think he honestly likes it here, but he benefits greatly from Pasta. If I can get a first rounder or good prospect, I will drive him to the airport if not his next home arena.

I don't get that.
Young guy
Scoring goals
Career high
Trending up

And you want to trade him for someone you hope can take his place?

Who cares if he benefits from Pasta?
Players all over the league benefit from being with a better player

This is the type of player you try to acquire not one you trade

I want to trade him for a potential upgrade. I like him, but without Pasta he is the same third liner he was in Carolina, Seattle and for 20 games here. As for trending up, I would say 20ish goals is his ceiling.
 
Picks in the 35 to 50 range for Marchand?

Picks 33 to 48 are to non playoff teams. Would Marchand want that?
Because of trades, playoff bound teams have some of those picks, so that may be the thinking.

Edmonton has #39 (STL)
Tampa Bay has #41 (UTA) & #57 (LAK)
Colorado has #44 (NYR) and #56 (CAR)
Washington has #46 (BOS) & #64 (WSH)

I know that. The article said in the 35 to 50 range. In the Caps case, there is a big difference between the 50th pick and the 64th pick.

Excellent post.
 
Trading Ray was end of career Mercy.

Marchy has his cup, and I think we do owe it to him to let him decide what's next.

I assume he loved playing best on best. That may have given him an appetite to go have a run somewhere here. I suspect they'll keep it quiet if so.
He got his paycheck, terrific player, but he is owed nothing, the team and fans should be owed the best team that can be put out on that ice. This phony bullshit "he is owed" just does not cut it.
