All Bruins Trade Proposals/Rumours X

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

Just a kindly reminder: This thread isn't about Chiarelli.

Just trying to keep us on topic. Thanks all.

No, this is Sweeney's second year

Sorry meant three years in a row missed playoffs.

Just saying though IMO Sweeney should be on the hot seat. Bruins always spend close to the cap and two years missed is not acceptable IMO

Hot seat sure, but not fired, it takes at least 3 years to see real progress in almost any institution when there is a management change.

I'm a teacher so it always reminds me of how schools can sometimes be managed, in the urban district I work in, you'll often see incompetent administrators shuffled around year to year - schools can never really gain traction. This past year we finally got the right GM so to speak and she'all be with us next year too which is awesome, but I don't expect to see truly positive results from our students until year three even if they show growth between this year and then.

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.

Not defending chiarelli at all as he did make his mistakes for sure. I don't think he was the main voice in trading Seguin (pressure from above) the boychuck move was bad but Kelly could not have been dealt as he was hurt at the time.

I'm just saying I think Sweeney has made some terrible trades/signings, I don't think our prospect pool is as talented as some here think and i wonder if he can make a good hockey trade. Just a thought, trying to get some chatter here.

I think Sweeney is on the hot seat. Cam too.

What's more, I think the Julien situation shows that ownership doesn't really consider them part of their inner circle. They weren't even consulted.

Sweeney and Neely are going to do what they're going to do. And ownership will either find it good enough or pull the rug out from under them.

Was just looking at a list of trades on the trade board and apparently only 5 teams have not made a trade of any kind this season.

Obviously, Boston is one of the five.

363 days since Don Sweeney's last trade.

Since July 2, 2015, Don Sweeney has only made 2 trades, Stempniak and Liles, 363 days ago.

The most interesting thing about today's game is whether Johnny Oduya is leaving with the Bruins after the game.

A lot of those trades don't appear overly appealing, however think we could have risked a 5th rounder on Mike Condon??

His .630 winning percentage @ $575K as Tuukka's backup would have us firmly in first place watching the others fight it out.

I'm behind Sweeney in general and think he's on right track but his failure to address a backup keeper is big. If B's miss out - that will be reason.

He'd be a good add. Isn't he injured though?

Wouldn't mind Sharp also.

If Eaves got a conditional 2nd round pick, then the price for Sharp would not be worth it.

 

[BruinDust]

If Eaves got a conditional 2nd round pick, then the price for Sharp would not be worth it.

Given his cap hit and production, Eaves likely had more value than Sharp does.

That being said, your probably looking at a guaranteed 2nd or a conditional 3rd that can become a 2nd.

A conditional 3rd/2nd and a mid level prospect is fine with me. Sharp would be a really solid addition.

 

[BruinDust]

Except the Bruins can't trade that 2nd from Edmonton, and don't have a 3rd.

I wouldn't mind a Sharp acquisition, probably my 1st rental choice to be honest.

I don't see it happening. Someone will step up with a comparable offer with picks for this season. Which even in a weaker draft, teams would prefer the more immediate return of 2017 picks over 2018.

 

[Blowfish]

The best trade to date has been promoting Cassidy and sending Julien to Habitants land.

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

A young D man with offensive upside who is under contract for a couple more years at significant but, at least how it stands now, manageable dollars for the Bruins. Reported as being made available due to the log jamb on the Canes blue line with them looking for a young centre (Spooner?) in return. Intriguing piece for teams to consider.

"The venerable Postmedia reporter Jim Matheson reported that Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk is in play at the trade deadline. Faulk is having a poor year with 25 points (just one assist in his last six games), but has a history of being a point-producing defenseman. Matheson cites the play of Jaccob Slavin, Brett Pesce, and Noah Hanifin as the reason that Faulk is on the market. The Hurricanes would be need a young center in return, Matheson believes. Despite the fact that plenty of teams would be interested in Faulk even though he’s having a poor season, any potential deal may have to wait until after the season; Faulk makes $4.83MM and has three years left on his contract after this season."

 

[ORR2Sanderson2ORR]

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.

It doesn't look like thats going to happen anytime soon.


Nikita Zadorov was placed on I/R retroactively to Feb. 20th with a broken ankle.
His season is over. The injury occurred during practice after Zadorov got tangled up with Mikko Rantanen. Zadorov was averaging 19:02 of ice time per game. He had no goals, 10 assists and a minus-20 rating in 56 games.

If the Canes are looking to move Faulk they should have no trouble finding a young center better (and younger) than Ryan Spooner.

Faulk would be Awesome but he'd cost a-lot as he'll be heavenly pursued by a lot of teams.



According to Adrian Dater, Justin Faulk is "in play" in potential trade talks between Colorado and Carolina.
Carolina pro scout and recently nominated-Top 100 player Joe Nieuwendyk has been "a regular: at Avalanche games the last three weeks. A swap of defensemen from Carolina for forwards for Colorado (say, Matt Duchene and/or Gabriel Landeskog) makes sense for both sides. Perhaps we'll see a rare star-for-star deal after all.

 

[bp13]

I still don't get the Colorado situation...don't EJ and Barrie play RD? What's their fascination with adding a RD? Is one of those guys gonna play 3rd pairing?

Maybe they want to get away from that terrible Erik Johnson contract before it's too late.

6 more years at 6 million per. That doesn't make him a bad player, but he isn't worth that for that long.

 

[Coach Parker]

Shattenkirk refused a 40m deal with a new club..... and it wasn't Tampa Bay.

Good.

I hope he is making it clear to everyone that he'll only sign in New York...

...thus driving down his price as a rental. No one wants to acquire him knowing he is off to New York July 1st.

So few would give the price for a rental. All of the sudden getting him on the CHEAP for a playoff push while not rushing McAvoy may be plausible.

Especially if you move out other assets for picks that you use on Shattenkirk as a rental.

This team deserves to have one of the holes filled for a playoff run.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Wouldn't mind Sharp also.

Why? The guy is so washed up as a player it's not even funny. He's a former sniper who is now a 7% shooter who does absolutely nothing else of value on the ice. I wouldn't take him if he was on waivers. He'd just a bad hockey player at this point, and makes the team worse

Great, anyone want tot trade Pastranak as a base for the trade? I am not sure they will even take that as I think they really want a #1 center in return (Duschene)

I have to agree with Matt Kalman here:


Kalman: Scheming Sweeney Should Stay Away From Shattenkirk, Consider Selling Off Spare Parts

[GloryDaze4877]

Sweeney and Neely are going to do what they're going to do. And ownership will either find it good enough or pull the rug out from under them.

I think you are reaching and that none of us really know what the relationship is between ownership, Neely, and Sweeney.

I think that Sweeney is not on the hot seat, and if anyone is it's Neely. Although, if the B's continue to play well under Cassidy and Neely wanted Clode out all along, he may not be on the hot seat either?

Everybody has an opinion.
