Speculation: All Bruins trade proposals/rumors: XXVIII: The Peter Principal at work

[Coach Parker]

Awkward... But if a trade is going down this late, wouldn't you think it would involve players from the Vancouver, St Louis game?

Exactly what I was thinking. Pair that with all the talk about the Bruins having a deal in place, Canucks needing the player for tonight AND the Bruins saving on every penny of cap space and we could finally see something.

@DarrenDreger: Boston acquires Brett Connolly from Tampa Bay.

Love it if true. Take a chance on a high upside guy.

12 goals this year too...might as well throw him on the Soderberg and Eriksson line. Maybe something clicks.

EDIT: 2 2nds.....nevermind. wtf.

Wow.

 

[Peen]

two 2nds.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Not bad...depending on the cost that is.

2 second rounders. I can live with that.

 

[rob4748]

Two seconds for Brett Connolly,

 

[Ice Nine]

Who the **** is Brett Connolly?

 

[Emerz]

2 2nds

Former 6th overall pick who hasn't put it together, 15 points in 50 games this year?

idk.. seems real dumb but maybe I'm missing something.

 

[GloveSave1]

I figure we'll get the Atkinson announcement after the Blue Jackets game this afternoon.

 

[Coach Parker]

So Boychuk for Connolly.

@DarrenDreger: Boston acquires Brett Connolly from Tampa Bay.

Cool. Thanks. Let the researching begin...haha...

2 2nd's seems really steep. I am no longer enthusiastic about the trade and I wish I would have gone to sleep sooner. Could've been worse I guess.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

I like the move. Connolly is young and still has upside. Kudos to Chia on this one.

 

[Coach Parker]

Young upcoming RFA right-winger.

Really bizarre unless Smith is gone.

 

[batesy]

We landed the next Steve Begin

 

[Blitzkrug]

Question is, is that the only move he's going to make?

Because Brayden Coburn just fetched Gudas, a first and a third from Tampa.

Sell sell sell still.

 

[CDJ]

Coburn just went for Gudas, a 1st, and a 3rd.

Wow.

 

[Coach Parker]

I like the move. Connolly is young and still has upside. Kudos to Chia on this one.

Yeah, like him as the speed we are looking for and 12 goals this year is not bad at all.

I honestly don't think there are more than a handful of people in the league that have less of a chance of coming to Boston. You've been bringing up Kessel's name a lot and I just don't get what your thought process is on this. It will never happen. It doesn't matter how many years go by.

Look I doubt it will happen - but it will be discussed if Toronto wants to assume a chunk of salary.

 

[rob4748]

Former top draft pick, I think two Seconds is steep.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Young upcoming RFA right-winger.

Really bizarre unless Smith is gone.

Smith + for a younger defenseman?

Basically Boychuk for Connolly

[rainone99]

He is not worth 2 2nd rounders.. 2 OF THEM??? 2???? NO WAY!!! TERRIBLE
