Speculation: All Bruins trade proposals/rumors VIII: Over the Holiday Freeze

[Yeti34]

No but here are my lines that solve everything internally and add speed and youth

Lucic-Krejci-Eriksson
Marchand-Bergeron- Pastrnak
Smith-Soderberg-knight
Paille-Kelly- Cunningham

A lot of question marks with that line-up. But if it's not a year to contend for the cup then why not go with your lineup and keep our picks.

Agreed. Maybe we find another 'Special K' out of those picks.

Wouldn't that be a trip

Knight just needs to do everything he can between now and next camp to earn a spot... It's up to him

I'm not worried I think he's been very good - TOI hits more than double every one but Randell, I realize most here like soft teams and ******* so I understand the hate.

Probably to stat sheet scouts but not to me

I don't think that's the case, I think it's more of a case of a coach that probably shouldn't be developing young players but more so having a side role in a special teams kind of way and having an agenda against knight

I've heard enough from people I trust on here and dug deeper on Cassidy to see what's going on

But it's not all that, to me knight has two choices; he can sulk and let a ****** situation get him down, or he can remain a warrior and try to make the team by camp or maybe an impressive call up later this season


If that fails, he'll have not a whole lot of trading strength or offer sheet status so he'll stay a bruin as an rfa for awhile , maybe he asks out - doubt it - but I know he'll flourish eventually , here or elsewhere

 

[DKH]

We need to get back selling our future for some soft players.

Let's trade those second rounders for Stewart

Is he worth them?

 

[DKH]

hes worth a 4th rounder

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

I'm all for Kassian or Stewart as long as they're cheap.

 

[HumBucker]

I don't know if Stewart is the exact answer, but I'm beginning to think that Chia is looking at that kind of a move - acquire an under-performing RW for DK's line on the hopes that he'll provide what that line needs - at relatively little cost, i.e., no subtraction from our current roster.

If he manages to get the right guy, and if Loui continues to play the way he is on Soda's line, that should go a long way to addressing our needs up front.

And if it's someone that they can sign for a year or two, then maybe Pastrnak is ready to step in when their contract is up.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not convinced Stewart would do anything other than cost Chia a 4th or 5th rounder.

He's been lazy everywhere he has played. Putting him under Clode might actually make him even more lackluster.

horton was one of the laziest bruins. but he made that line work.

 

[Arthur*]

horton was one of the laziest bruins. but he made that line work.

I'd rather have a team full of Hortons and Ryders who sleepwalk through the regular season and then flip the switch in the playoffs than a bunch of Joe Thorntons and Iginlas who have the opposite problem.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Horton flipped it on when it counted, yes, but Chris Stewart never flips it on.

No thanks.

Lucic-Krejci-Eriksson
Marchand-Bergeron- Pastrnak
Smith-Soderberg-knight
Paille-Kelly- Cunningham

They tried Eriksson with Krejci and Lucic the other night and they were terrible. Cunningham finished the game on that line.

And Jared Knight? Good lord, that kid can't even score in the minors. Him and his one goal will be playing in the ECHL before the NHL.

LOL are we making up stats now? In that case, he also leads the league in boneheaded decisions/TOI. The kid has the Hockey IQ of a walnut.

eriksson is a good 3rd liner but he is no longer a first liner. every time he goes up to the first line he is invisible. this team needs 2 top 6 wingers.

I prefer an internal line-up like this over spending good assets to add marginal players now.

It would be different if the Bruins were to add a real impact player (top forward and top 4 D) but I don't think they will go in that direction, at least before summer.

A full of team of regular season sleepwalkers wouldn't make the playoffs.

Jerome Iginla played playoff series before he got to the Bruins.

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

A lot of stuff can be done during this off season

Dumping Paille, Campbell, Kelly...........

Maybe trading Eriksson and Bart

Not totally sold on Smith and he will want more $ to re-sign.

If the team could get Oshie, Stewart or Kassian for cheap would be a good gamble IMO

Also would like to see another veteran dman

Chia gambled on this teams defensive depth and it didn't pay off, only have 3 d-men for the top 4. Morrow has potential.

I see you keep posting this and there is just no factual basis to it. Aside from a couple parts of meaningless preseason games and a regular season game where he had 4 points, he hasn't really sniffed that first line.

He has had chances on that line this season, even this week. The fact that his "tryouts" are so forgettable only reinforces DJ's point. He's just not a good fit there- be it chemistry or a decline in his game, but he doesn't and hasn't fit.

If Dom tells us of that trade happening a day before it's official, and I dump all my savings into Dairy Queen stock, is that insider trading?
