I love your enthusiasm but I remember you were on a trade 22 Joe Thornton for the final years of Jeremy Roenick back in the early days of HF when we had maybe 10 posters
Tapping into my backyard/BBQ source pool- forget it. Krejci has as much chance as Bruiins ticket price roll back and that's a good thing
When the Bruins passed on Matt Barzal I knew the course they were taking with their centers
Mike you should join our SIM league we do whacked out trades like this all the time
I traded Pastrnak & a 2017 third round rookie for Brandon Saad last week
I'm sure someone will trade you Krejci and you can deal him to me
im glad im welcome in the league... and I will admit I blew this proposal since I got murray/murphy mixed up...
but im still contending that my thornton proposal was thornton for tkchuk and roenick AND I was also proposing Allison for Lindros AND leclair. this was before the cap era and we had Guerin and samsonov too...
I think that bringing in those 4 vets could have resulted in a cup win for us.
of course history would show us that around 2-3 years later Allison and Guerin would be gone for nothing and then eventually thornton would be moved for a lesser return than I was asking for.
when I make my proposals I don't always propose trades that I would make if I was king of the world. sometimes I try to play along with well known/established bruin management thinking
my roenick/tkchuk thoughts were backed up when the team made an attempt to get these guys. sinden was on record saying he didn't believe in getting a player that made too much money but he would break his philosophy for the right player... when asked for an example of the right player he said Lindros.
I also forecast boston would want kevin stevins and rick tocchet before we got those guys. there was definitely a type of player that the old sinden/occonnell regieme used to target.
it was foreseeable to me... that thornton/Allison weren't going to stick around long... stumpel... samsonov... all that crowd. not only weren't those guys winning but none of them had the personality that sinden/occonnell wanted for the team.
I used to be real good at predicting this type of stuff... then chiarelli came along and I was pretty clueless the past 7 years. chiareli constantly surprised me with his moves.
ultimately chiarelli was successful so I didn't mind being out of the loop
now Sweeney is shooting from left field and I have no freaking clue what is going on. im going to try to get my mojo back.
based on how I see things going... im going to predict that at some point soon krug will be shipped out for a more well rounded top 4 dman who is young and can be built around.
if till probably cost more than krug to get what we need. so im just thinking krejci is the one contract that can be moved and really clear a ton of room to redevelop the team.
so krecji/krug for a really good young dman... and then we have a hole at center so bring in a bigger/gritter center to play behind Bergeron/spooner.
makes Rinaldo expendable though
