Experienced vets are added for depth. You can never really have enough. Remember relying on Hnidy in the playoffs?

Webster???
I think not.
Bound basically means Headed or intending to head in a specified direction. My opinion is their bound to be a playoff team nothing more than that.
Perhaps you just described yourself and shuldn't be so hasty and Magniloquent.
LOL, It must be a language thing because you're making my point for me. No matter what opinion someone takes here someone else comes along and wants to start a nonsensical argument up over something inconsequential.
"Magniloquent." Priceless!

No i don't. The year they won the cup are you talking about? He played 3 games during that run and played 9 total minutes

not shocking, the last few have been the same. Too many teams who are so close to a playoff spot who just won`t be in sellers mode and those who are in sellers mode sure aren`t giving away their assets for free
If you had plans on watching the 12 hour trade deadline marathon`s on any network, my suggestion, don`t. We`ll see little more than 3/4th liners, depth players being moved IMO
Friedman on HNIC said that anyone thinking that Sakic would lower his price as the deadline nears would be wrong, he`s under no pressure to move them let alone move them on the cheap

Hoss MOFO, Hoss.
Good. I don't want either of them. Honestly, the only aves player I might want is Zadorov. Put in the right situation, hey may become a solid 2 way d-man.

I honestly think we`ll see DS wait until the summer, kind of stay the course this deadline which is wise IMO. Of course, if the B`s miss the playoffs fans will scream that he did nothing to improve the club which is arguable seeing as the price tag out there on players is crazy
If there is something I would like to see is DS trying to move out a Liles, maybe recapturing that 3rd round pick he lost last year

Agreed. While both good players, neither fills a major hole in the Boston lineup. Not worth overpaying anyhow. The blue line needs to be constructed. The focus should be there. With Marchand Vatrano Pastrnak Backes here, and Bjork DeBrusk etc in the pipeline, wings look solid in the present and future.
I'd like for Sweeney to head into the offseason and keep an eye on Minnesota & Carolina. If he's going to cough up some of the solid assets he's accumulated, I'd rather he do it for a Hannifin, Faulk, Brodin, Spurgeon, etc. Not for a Landeskog

But that's the issue. We needed him in those games but couldn't rely on him forcing the other d to play more. Liles wouldn't create that issue. We wouldn't get some monster return for him because he'd only be picked up as depth.
As noted in the comments below from a Pro Sports daily article, Grioux has struggled mightily this season and particularly of late. Should the Flyers look to go with an overhaul would they possibly pull off another surprise Richards/Carter trade? The motivating factors in making such a move for these players are very different. A move of that significance would likely have to be an off season transaction rather than a trade deadline one should they consider going that route.
"If center Claude Giroux doesn't start producing, the Philadelphia Flyers won't start winning, and their fading Stanley Cup Playoff hopes will disappear.
"It goes hand in hand," Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said Friday.
The evidence supports Hakstol's words.
Giroux has 12 points (three goals, nine assists) in the past 28 games. The Flyers are 9-15-4 in those games. He had 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 10 games from Nov. 27-Dec. 14. The Flyers went 10-0.
Philadelphia is 19-12-3 in games when Giroux has at least one point this season; it is 9-13-4 when he gets shut out.
Get the picture?
Giroux does. He knows how valuable he is to the Flyers, how he sets the tone with his work ethic and production. He knows he has to begin producing and that he can't wait, that he has to start by delivering in the 2017 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Heinz Field on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, SN, TVA Sports 2, NHL.TV).
It's a big event, but it's also arguably the biggest game of the season for the Flyers, who are five points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with 22 games remaining and have a general manager, Ron Hextall, trying to figure out if he should be a seller with the 2017 NHL Trade Deadline approaching (March 1 at 3 p.m. ET). Hextall said Friday he will not be a deadline buyer."

Nashville paid a 4th for Vernon Fiddler early this month, I think that's what we can expect Moore to fetch if moved.
Penguins scooped up Hainsey, he looked solid yesterday.

I'd rather not deal for Landeskog or Duchene either, because of the price.... but about Zadorov:
1) They aren't dealing him, because their biggest weakness is D. He's young, he's cheap, he isn't horrible. He's one of the guys they want to keep.
2) Personally, I'm not a fan of him at all. Very poor decision making and low hockey IQ. He's big, he hits and I get that makes him popular, but I don't think he'll be a "2 way" guy at all (zero goals this year, 10 assists).
He's a young Alexei Emelin with maybe a touch more upside.

Not much surrounding the Bruins in these rumors other than shattenkirk.

I'm glad the Bruins are not in rumors
I hope they don't make a single trade other than to unload a guy that doesn't have a future here and won't be drafted by Vegas anyways
They have enough to make the playoffs, its in their hands, and there isn't a single deal out here that will a) guarantee them a playoff spot and b) put them over any kind of hump that would indicate they'll contend for a cup
Keep the cupboard stocked and play your ass off, I can't bear another round of picks for guys that help us place 9th.

Here's what I don't get Chiarelli makes the playoffs 8 of 9 years and misses one year. In that year Krecji missed half the season and Chara missed 30 games and gets canned.
If Bruins miss this year it will be three in a row for Sweeney yet not even on the hot seat and the team is arguably worse.
No, this is Sweeney's second year.
Plus, Chiarelli missed his first year as well as the last.
But PC was fired for other reasons beyond just missing the playoffs.
My opinion is that when considering everything Sweeney inherited he has done a decent job of setting the Bruins up to be maybe very competitive for several years; even though people may not like the current on ice product. Need to remember this season is not over yet.

Chia also traded Segs which was a huge mistake and trade johnny B. He put the team in cap trouble with all his ntc nmc. Not that Sweeney isn't doing the same. But Chia had to move segs and johnny because Kelly had a nmc but they didn't. He made a lot of mistakes.

Well unless it was a 6 year deal, I don't blame him for turning down 40 million from any club. He'll get more than that on July 1st.

Or Edmonton. According Friedman, 1st and main option is the Rangers, second option is the Bruins.
