I'd package danton grez and 1st round pick for kreider 50% and lias. I think that's a fair deal for both sides. We can replace grez with vak or lauzon they both ready to be full time. If not get a ron hainsey for a 5th round pick as a security blanket.
You do realize that Heinen is sitting at 280 in PPG right now. That also includes defensemen. So no 300 players would not be able to take his place and do the same job.I can't stand Heinen, he is the ultimate JAG, 300 players in this league could take his place and do the same job. Possibly the most overrated Bruin, by a portion of the fans, ever
What id like vs what we will likely have.
Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kreider
Bjork - Coyle - Kuhlman
Wagner - Kuraly - Clifford
vs
Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Small old dude
Bjork - Coyle - Heinen
Wagner - Kuraly - Nordstrom/Kuhlman
I'm gonna go ahead and make a gut-feel prediction that Sweeney makes a very substantial move. There will be no standing pat.
Waiving both Backes and Ritchie has me thinking the same. Looks like we currently have $2.3m in deadline space for him to work with.
That is assuming Miller remains on LTIR right? I am guessing he doesn't come back, but if he does, that changes things a lot.

ltir never ever effects the cap until the moment you go over the cap... so if we have room on the daily calculations, miller is a non-factor
our room is including miller... he is counting. all ltir contracts count
the actual way the ltir works... is you end up maxed out and one of your players is injured. so you need to hire a replacement player. but you are maxed out
so you get to claim an ltir and you get to spend the amount of money that you are over the ceiling
so... as you can see... you have to be at the ceiling before any changes occur... and then you only get the amount of room that you went over.
this is why teams usually try to do roster moves to max the benefit of an ltir... clear as much of his salary for use as possible
it also explains why teams often dont even bother to put a guy on ltir. there is no benefit to an ltir unless you are over the cap
