Proposal: All Bruins rumors/proposals: 16/17 Part III

[bruinmann77]

Not sure what this means...

I was referring to dom post as Guys coming here meaning more than one which I find intresting

 

[riverhawkey91]

All for packaging some stuff up for a good player; I just hope they're careful about which ones and how many they send. This team is still going to need a skilled youth influx in the coming years, and that cupboard can go from full to empty real quick if these prospects stop panning out so well.

 

[Bergyesque]

If I had to pick between duchene and landeskog, I think I would go with Duchene. He can play wing\center and if ultimately needed and we move Krejci he could slide over to play center. Historically decent in faceoffs as well.

Can he? Just asking, because, I mean, not sure the Bs need another C-man forced to play on the wings.

 

[Son of Donegal]

If I'm DS, I offer one of C. MILLER or Joe MORROW
Ryan SPOONER;
one of SUBBAN or MACINTYRE, and
BELESKEY

for LANDESKOG and Cody McLEOD

That's it, that's all. Aves would select C. MILLER no doubt but that's okay, with CARLO's emergence, MCAVOY looking like a 17-18 Bruin and MCQUAID and K. MILLER as options, we might feel a bit of a sting on RD now but it will be very short term. If they opt for MORROW, BONUS!!!!

When healthy, I do like the top six six group much better...

MARCHAND-BERGERON-PASTRNAK
LANDESKOG-KREJCI-BACKES
VATRANO-SCHALLER-CZARNIK
MCLEOD-MOORE-NASH
HAYES

Ha. Well...I would love this from a Bruins perspective, but a trade like this does not happen.

The Avs are looking for a young LHD. C. Miller is a RHD and he is not yet a top 4 player. J. Morrow is a LHD but he is nothing more than a depth defenseman at this point. Spooner is probably not of interest to them as they have Duchesne, McKinnon and Soderberg at C. Subban? Are you kidding? Maybe McIntyre is in there, but I doubt it. Beleskey is a cap dump on top of a pile of steaming feces in this trade package - all for former #2 overall pick and captain of COL, Gabriel Landeskog.

My guess, which mirrors other folks' sentiments here is that COL wants Carlo + +.

Landeskog has played C as well...I believe. Plus, don't we also have Backes to take draws if Krejci is moved? Not worried about the C/W versatility. I think Landeskog fits a bit better and is younger. But I would not complain about either player depending on the package.

 

[Drift]

True. And honestly I can't say I just remember stat watching when he was on wing and he did well. So probably not the best viewpoint

 

[Sheppy]

Wait, what? The Bruins are in talks with Colorado?

 

[TMac21]

Can't see how the Bruins can land an impact player with all the dead cap space they have right now (Hayes, Beleskey, McQuaid/Miller).

 

[ON3M4N]

Well this pretty much means that I wont be paying attention to work today. Landeskog would be a nice addition if that's the guy they are targeting. Seems to play a Bruins style of hockey.

 

[Greek_physique]

Can't see how the Bruins can land an impact player with all the dead cap space they have right now (Hayes, Beleskey, McQuaid/Miller).

We currently have 4.71 cap space.

As Dom mentioned in an earlier post; depending on who they want to acquire, they'd only be required to pay the remainder of his salary this year.

No worries.

If they have no plan on trading Bergy, Krejci, or Backes in the short term, I don't see the point on getting a player that is "pegged" as a C-man, Boston-style, that is a "cerebral" player.
If they make a trade, I'd like them to focus on a fast, athletic and skilled winger. That guy may be playing C with his current team, but that's what I would be looking for.
I would slot him beside Krejci and put Backes at C on a 3rd line, when he's back from his concussion.

I haven't seen them that much, so which one of Duchene or Landeskog would fit better?

I'd absolutely hope Sweeney puts a claim on him, doubt he gets anywhere near Boston though. Would be a great 3rd line player and a clear upgrade on quite a few bottom 6 players.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

Landeskog would be great here. Not sure how they can trade for him without sending Carlo back but if Don pulls that one off..wow.

 

[JEM28]

Meh. Reminds me of Brett Connolly.

I'm thinking if they have term on their contract ala Landeskog - Spooner would have to be going the other way as he is due a raise.

Bergeron
Marchand
Backes
Pasta
Krejci
Beleskey
Landeskog

Lot of money eaten up there.

 

[Absurdity]

Darren Dreger on TSN 690 on the Avalanche:

“Yeah, potentially you could. There’s no question of that,” said Dreger during that radio hit. “But you have to look at the situation that Colorado is in right now and wonder if they’re better off to just hold tight and see where they’re at on March 1 or around March 1. If they’re still a 30th-place team at that point, then I think it becomes abundantly obvious – and maybe it is already – that they’re playing for the draft. It’s the new version of Tank Nation, I suppose. But if a team surfaces that gives them what they might need in a collection of draft picks or young prospects, why wouldn’t you consider trading Matt Duchene?

“Landeskog is interesting to me. I don’t believe that Joe Sakic really wants to move him. But what I know is that there was a trade conversation between Joe Sakic and a Western Conference general manager prior to the draft lottery and Landeskog’s name was included in it. And it was believed that a defenseman had to go back the other way to Colorado as part of a package. Then it just seemed to fizzle.

“So I don’t know that Sakic is eager to move Landeskog. I think he’d be more inclined to trading Matt Duchene. But the deal has to be right."

My guess, which mirrors other folks' sentiments here is that COL wants Carlo + +.

If they're looking for a "young LHD", as you state, that would eliminate Carlo.

My guess would be Zboril +.

I'd prefer Landeskog over Duchene.. Centre is a strong point on this team now and in the future (JFK, Gopher)

I agree, they most likely do but I wouldn't make that deal straight up. A young, already proving to be a top four d-man with high likelihood to be a top 2 one day is worth more then a downtrending FORMER number 2 pick left winger. You never know in these circumstances, teams probably though we would want a lot more then we got for SEGUIN! Just sayin.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Landeskog makes more sense on paper because of the fit on Krejci's wing, his physical game, etc but Duchene is the better player and they kind of guy you make a spot for if need be. I've always coveted him & remember wishing the Bruins could have gotten him for Kessel back in the day.

While Landeskog is more of a "Bruins type player" I think adding Duchene's speed & goal scoring ability would do more to help this team than adding another power forward.

I'd be happy with adding either guy if the price was right, though.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Lindgren
Bjork
MacIntyre

 

[gvkmedia]

Zboril, Lauzen and Lindgren are all LH. Maybe they ask for 2 of them. I would be fine with that.

Add in a forward prospect (Senyshen or DeBrusk) and some salary (Millar or McQuaid) and with a little luck they take Hayes but you may need to add a pick for them to do it.

I posted this a page or 2 ago.
We get either Landeskog or Ducshene and a filler of some sort (back up goalie?)

I don't know. Seems about right to me.

I would not complain with either Duchene or Landeskog at the right price, but if I had to pick I would take Duchene, he is a much more offensive player and that is what the Bruins need right now. Spooner actually has one more goal than Landeskog at this point. I agree Zboril would be the guy they would want plus Heinen, the Avs got to see Heinen play college hockey out there, they probably like his game. So Zboril + Heinen +? for Duchene maybe we also swap K Miller and Subban for Weircoch?

 

[PB37]

I don't think we're in on Landeskog of Duchene. Not seriously anyway, especially with the abundance of left shot/left wingers in the system, raises to some of our current guys coming up, the cost it would require to get Duchene/Landeskog, etc etc.

 

[Sheppy]

Bruins are more likely in on Grossman than Landeskog or Duchene.
