Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020 II

[Johnny4778]

Me neither. Not this year. If we dont win this season I could see him going all-in on the 20-21 season.

I think he’s nuts if he has a deal to seriously fill some holes and doesn’t do it because he won’t trade a first. Tells me his goal is to make playoffs each year and not win the cup. This year and maybe next year are it in terms of this cores window in my opinion.

Horton looks like he can play

Just glad to see him smiling to be honest.

You always worry about guys who've had their career cut short due to injury and how they handle things after they're done.

Can we turn back the clock and insert these two?View attachment 311759

imagine trying to fight looch? my god the guy looks like a bowling ball

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Watch us end up with someone not on anyone's radar, similar to Mojo last year

maybe it will be mojo

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I truly hope a trade for Kreider with a reasonable extension involves Heinen and a pick or prospect.

That would put the Bruins, on paper, back at the top of the pack.

 

[Shoebottom88]

Horton looks like he can play

Brings a tear to me eye. What could’ve been if Horton stayed healthy. That was such a great line. This is what the Bruins need right now, a genuine, can’t miss talent in his prime. When I look at Horton, the 1st thing that pops in my head is Kreider. Kreider & M. Foligno would instantly make this team harder to play against.

 

[Shoebottom88]

Thanks Bill--Kreider would be my choice also. I think they can really use his size and physicality in the top 6. And a third line of DeBrusk - Coyle - Bjork already looks good.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Kreider - Krejci - Heinen/Kuhlman
DeBrusk - Coyle - Bjork

Wonder if Kreider would rub off on Kuhlman a bit. They both play a similar game, though Kreider is bigger, more aggressive and a better scorer.

 

[Blowfish]

Tough choice.

I like Kreider as a player more, he hits a lot more, he has elite speed, and would be a nice addition to PP1 as the net front presence.

Palmieri shoots right and is signed for 1 more year so we get more bang for the buck in the trade.

At the end of the day, I would go for the guy I think is the better player. I know shooting right has value, but I really don't mind DeBrusk (or Bjork) on the right.

EDIT: The other thing to consider here, is whether or not Cassiy is willing to give DeBrusk and Coyle a real shot at playing together. IMO it completely changes the dynamic in the lineup.

Giving up a first for Palmeiri is a no brainer. Dude lives in Boston and connected to many bruins. He will resign after his contract is over. Not so sure about giving up a first for Kreider.

Kuhlman is a player I would like to see included in a trade package . Not sure what his value is, but I think he could be an interesting piece to a non-contender team. I feel there is simply better winger options in the organization going forward.

I don't think Kuhlman can fisnish. He's got the speed and certainly gives it his all every game, he just lacks the goal scoring touch.

LOL
I thought the same
One word Thick
OMG

 

[bme44]

Players I feel could or should be used as trade chips: Moore, Zboril, Cehlarik, Kuhlman, Fitzgerald ,JFK

Players I am comfortable trading in the right deal: Heinen, Kuraly, Nordstrom ,Wangner

Think one of Grzelcyk, or Krug could be moved if the return works

 

[GoBs]

I don't think DS trade his 1st for a rental

I am with you
I think allot of teams are going to hold onto their first
Am I correct the Bruins do not have a second rounder?

They have all of there future picks except for a 4th this year, part of Mojo deal. Still, think they'll do all they can not to trade a 1st, prospects moved instead.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I think Kreider, Krejci, and Kuhlman is a great line. And let’s you play Debrusk, Coyle, and Bjork together. Maybe Heinen and a draft pick gets it done

the more I think about it the more I'm warming up to the idea of a Kreider, Krejci and Kuhlman line. Kuhlman has looked awesome since his return. Small sample size I know -- it could just be adrenaline -- but he's so fast and a tenacious forchecker. Krejci flanked by two guys with that much speed and energy should help keep him engaged and I have no doubt he'd make use of the space and opportunities they create.

The way I see the Palmieri vs. Kreider debate is that Palmieri likely bumps Kuhlman out of the lineup where Kreider could bump Heinen (or at least make him the odd man out). I know Heinen has the more impressive resume than Kuhlman, but I think Kuhlman and players like him are more of what this team needs right now. The speed of Kreider and Kuhlman in the lineup together (with Heinen possibly out) changes the makeup of this team significantly. I think this team has a tendency to take it easy for long stretches and I think an injection of speed an energy in the lineup will keep everyone more engaged more consistently. The hitting from Kreider will help with that too, and he easily just replaces Heinen/Debrusk on PP1.

I don't think DS trade his 1st for a rental

I don't think Donny trades this year's 1st. He loves 1st rounders & supposedly this is a deep draft. I think he easily will part with his 2nd & 1 roster player & any B prospects.

I'm surprised Krejci wasn't crying - remembering how good he had it, playing with two highly skilled mesomorphs.

 

[DominicT]

Listening to all the experts talk the last couple of days, the only player on any of the "trade lists" that will garner a first rounder is Kreider. And even then they were split on whether they'd pay it.

 

[DKH]

Giving up a first for Palmeiri is a no brainer. Dude lives in Boston and connected to many bruins. He will resign after his contract is over. Not so sure about giving up a first for Kreider.

Kreider house 20 miles up route 1 to Garden

he’s the one rental that I’d think can be resigned

not sure why Rangers just don’t sign him

not a lot of miles on him - he wasn’t playing 200 games a year as a kid

he’s getting better and as a power forward I can see him producing 2-5 years past what others do

he’s a horse and a natural

 

[The don godfather]

Donny won't trade that first round pick. Book it. 2 times.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

another small benefit of landing Kreider would be he could tutor Senyshyn a bit.

how would we afford to re-sign him though? He’s going to be asking for a contract in the $7m AAV range. Would almost automatically mean we don’t sign krug unless we give up serious draft capital to move backes.

I with ya. Love to retain KRUG but that all depends on what he's looking to get paid and term of that cap hit.

absolutely have to retain krug at this point. After seeing what justin Faulk got last offseason, Krug could have got you more. Letting him walk for nothing after that would be a complete disaster.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Id rather kreider than Palmieri to be honest. Then try and get another big defenseman if miller isnt coming back

kreider-krejci-??? who goes here??? I still would like to see Heinen on first line RW before and if we trade him. I am not set on keeping that first line together.

I think in the end we are best getting kreider.
Id like to see Marchand-Bergy-Heinen
Kreider-Krejci-Pasta
Debrusk-Coyle-Kulman
4th line
