All Bruins rumors/proposals: Reset and Sweenified

[Ten Thousand Hours]

This D situation is perplexing.....

2015 Defense Depth Chart

Left
Chara
Seidenberg
Krug
Irwin
Morrow
Arnesson
O'Gara
Zboril
Lauzon

Right
McQuaid
K.Miller
Trotman
C.Miller
Carlo

Some restructuring may be in order.

Not necessarily. If you take out the guys with little to no shot of making the big club:

Left
Chara
Irwin
Krug
Morrow

Right
Trotman
C. Miller
McQuaid
K. Miller

Shoots left, plays either
Seidenberg

Not saying I like the group at all. But we don't need to make a trade just because of who plays what side.

Isn't Bergeron's cap hit $6.5 Million? His extension was 8 years/$52 Million. Cap geek had him at $6.5M.

Talbot originally signed with the Flyers for 5 years/$8.75 Millon. That's $1.75/per. The Avalanche supposedly retained 50% of his cap hit. That would make his upcoming cap hit $875K?

I'm not 100% sure regarding Talbot, but Bergeron's cap hit is $6.875M.

From WAR on Ice:
Before today, it was publicly believed that Bergeron and the Bruins agreed to an 8 year, $52M contract ($6.5M AAV). However, our sources have confirmed that they actually agreed to an 8 year, $55M contract ($6.875M AAV), structured as follows:

Years 1-4: $8.750M salary, $0.0M bonus
Year 5: $0.875M salary, $6.0M bonus
Year 6: $0.875M salary, $3.5M bonus
Years 7-8: $3.375M salary, $1.0M bonus

Bergeron will be 36 years old when the contract expires after the 2021-22 season. We do not know at this time what implications this has for the Bruins’ salary cap situation for the 2014-15 season.

From Amalie Benjamin
both General Fanager and Hockey’s Cap have Patrice Bergeron’s cap number listed at $6.875 million — the correct number

Morrow better get a real chance this year. This kid is good. I'm not a fan of Trotman.
We may have to ditch Krug at the deadline and give Morrow and the new Miller their shots.
3.4+mil for a 5th Dman when you hardly have two top four defenseman is not the best idea. Unless Krug shows us he can be a #4 puck mover

I just cringe when I see **** like this. Krug is everything you want in a player: competes, smart, productive, team guy by all accounts and great off the ice as well. The only thing he lacks is ideal size, but he has proven himself to be a good NHL player.

What exactly has Joe Morrow done to warrant trading Krug and handing him (JM) a Top 4 D spot??

Thanks. That's been bothering for a long time. I was simply going off of this, assuming it to be correct.

The only way I want to see Krug traded if it is for a top 2 guy; like Shattenkirk. I realize we have to add significantly, but I'd be okay with that as he'd be a young top defenseman.

Someone else posted Krug and San Jose's first; but I think I'd do that with something else added if necessary. Signed for two more years at 4.25 and better than Hamilton as of now; potentially better than him in a few years too.

Any legs at all on the Chara for Yandle/NYR 2016 1st rumor?

 

[BruinsBtn]

Gotta be on of: Smith, Subban or Gothberg as the backup

 

[BB88]

Any legs at all on the Chara for Yandle/NYR 2016 1st rumor?

In their cap situation,
Where did you see this?

 

[Gee Wally]

Any legs at all on the Chara for Yandle/NYR 2016 1st rumor?

what?

 

[BruinsNeedaRussian]

I really do not like our defense beyond the lack of top talent. With a declining Chara and questionable Seids, we are lacking the solid 2way defenseman that were important during our cup. Everyone is either a stay-at-home dman or offensensive dman. We do not have any Boychuks or Ferences and no longer have 2011 Seids/Chara.

 

[Absurdity]

If Seidenberg is on the way out, Columbus could be a fit.

Where did you hear this?

If this were to happen, I'd literally streak the neighborhood cheering Donny for the rest of my days.

Nah, you'd be stuck here deleting posts, merging threads, and handing out infractions

 

[Fire Sweeney]

That rumor was from a caller on WEEI last week

haha fine

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

Would certainly make for a Keystone Kops blue line this year, but....yes please!!

Doubt there are legs to the rumor, though.

Any legs at all on the Chara for Yandle/NYR 2016 1st rumor?

lolwut? is this actually a rumor haha never heard it before

 

[BostonBob]

Any legs at all on the Chara for Yandle/NYR 2016 1st rumor?

I sure hope not but right now it can't happen anyway since the Rangers already traded their 2016 1st round pick ( lottery protected ) to Arizona in the Yandle deal.

 

[captain stone]

Why would you hope not?

 

[PB37]

In their cap situation,
Where did you see this?

Someone posted the rumor yesterday ( or the day before ) and it must have gotten buried in the other talk that was going on. I didn't have time to respond to it because I was on my phone and posting on hfboards with a cell phone sucks.

 

[BostonBob]

Why would you hope not?

Because if Boston does trade Chara ( and I hope they don't since their D looks scary enough with him right now ) I would hope to get a better return. I'm just not as big a fan of Yandle as some of you guys seem to be.

 

[BB88]

It just sounds so weird when you look at their cap situation and we are talking of Chara and he is our captain, I personnally haven't seen any Yandle-Chara rumours.'

But that would give them a chance to bring in Franson too but is it really worth it? We have no Chara replacement in system and we'd trade Chara, sounds a bit scary.

 

[UConn126]

Shoots left, plays either
Seidenberg

Too many people forget this. We won the cup with Seidenberg playing his off side (the right side). Why so many people get hung up on handedness when searching for players is beyond me.

I just cringe when I see **** like this. Krug is everything you want in a player: competes, smart, productive, team guy by all accounts and great off the ice as well. The only thing he lacks is ideal size, but he has proven himself to be a good NHL player.

And I cringe when I see stuff like this....

He's a bottom pairing guy so far making mid pairing money.

His offensive is good... but defensively he's below average.
