All Bruins Trade Proposals/Rumours X

[Estlin]

I think Sweeney would like the playoffs, but I don't think he needs the playoffs.

True, but what does the Jacobs family want?

If this is the case, given Sweeney's recent comments about the trade deadline, I think the Bruins are better off staying pat.

A minor deal or two involving Moore and Liles would be smart in order to secure a couple of mid-round draft picks. Otherwise, Sweeney should do nothing.

Absolutely. The Bruins don't need these players and have players on the roster/Providence that can replace them. Let's say the Bruins get a pick for each of Liles and Moore, I think the Bruins should use one or both of those picks to persuade Vegas to choose Beleskey in the expansion draft.

I think you might be right, I bet Bruins brass doesn't lose any sleep missing playoffs 3 years in a row. We can all talk prospects and maybe one day we'll play hockey in April again.

I will never understand how a team doesn't make a trade in a season/at the deadline.

There is always something that can be done to improve some aspect your organIzation.

Very few teams selling right now.

 

[remer]

Very few teams selling right now.

Well the Bruins have lots to sell. Liles, Moore, Morrow, Hayes, Nash, Beleskey, etc.

Haven't heard one single rumour that these players are being shopped.

 

[sarge88]

I'm sure that's true, but I can't believe that they can't find a taker for a Liles or Moore for example.

Neither is needed after this year....even a 5th would be worth it.

The only that on that list, to me, that has any real trade value is Morrow- he might get a low round pick. Not sure why they should shop Dom Moore- he has been great for us this season in his role and as long as we are sniffing around the playoffs it would be silly to get rid of him for peanuts. Hayes, Nash, Beleskey, Liles, for various reasons probably don't generate an iota of interest. Hayes because he is awful, Liles because he looks about done as an NHLer with his age and recent concussion and not being in game shape, Beleskey because of the contract. I suppose Nash could have some value for a team looking for someone to expose for the expansion draft.

Well there is a rumor Morrow being sent down for conditioning was to get hims some looks in the trade market.

I could see Boston moving a couple guys and aquiring a couple guys, and maybe ending up pick neutral.

Nash is the type of guy teams would want for the playoffs, IMO.

 

[Dr Hook]

If that is true, why wouldn't we want him for that? I'd agree with trying to shop him along with several others if we were definitively not going to get in. I am not a Nash hater like many on this board- I think he has some use in specific situations- but he is too one-dimensional for me to want him long-term.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

If the Bruins keep it simple and trade Liles and Moore it's a win for us.

 

[wintersej]

Depends on if they like anyone that can be had in 3rd, 4th rounds. Also, before you trade Moore, want to see Kuraly with the big club.

 

[BruinDust]

I'm sure that's true, but I can't believe that they can't find a taker for a Liles or Moore for example.

I like Dominic Moore and would be willing to give him a 1-year extension for the right money (that being close to what he makes now).

There have been VERY few complaints about the play of Moore on this board this season.

Being solid up the middle is key to any team. Until we know for sure when and if guys like JFK and Frederic are ready, keeping a good solid center like Moore is a smart move.

He's easily been the best player this season out of that group of veteran 3rd/4th liners like Hayes, Nash, Schaller, and Belesky.

Usually I am all about letting veteran UFAs walk and letting ELC level players fill their spots.

Moore might be one of the few I'd make an exception for on a 1-year deal.

It's a good thing they bought out Seidenberg. Wouldn't be able to make no trades without an abundance of cap space:

Yes there is always something that can be done to improve your organization.

That doesn't mean that there is always a player available at a somewhat reasonable price who can come in and improve your organization.

And I don't believe that adding another 4th liner or 6/7 defenseman does anything to improve this organization. And most of the crap being sold is in that category

I wouldn't have a problem with Moore sticking around for a year.....nor would I have a problem if they moved him and got a 4th rounder or better for him.

I guess I just can't imagine that out of all the players presumably available, that none can be had that are fit a need somewhere......either in Boston or Providence.

 

[bob27]

I'd rather keep Liles and Moore as an injury insurance than trade them for a conditional 7th. Beleskey and Hayes have negative value, so it makes no sense to trade them at the deadline.

Agree completely! Last couple of Chia years nothing happened to improve the on ice product, same thing the last 2.5 years with DS.

When the trade deadline passes they'll simply say " we figured out that we have these depth players so we don't need more.........."

 

[Dr Quincy]

The problem is that you can look at ANY team's 4th line and bottom pairing and say "This is worth a 3rd or a 4th to a contender", but they aren't ALL going to be traded. Yes, some bottom of the roster guys will be dealt but there's not guarantee it will be Liles or Moore. It could be Tyutin and John Mitchel. Or Viktor Stalberg or Tom Pyatt or Ryan White or Jason Chimera or Dennis Seidenberg... etc.

I'd definitely explore trading any of those guys but I wouldn't be shocked if there are no takers.

 

[BBB24]

I am not a Nash hater like many on this board- I think he has some use in specific situations- but he is too one-dimensional for me to want him long-term.

Would not surprise me if Nash ended up in Edmonton, they want a third line centre tat can win face offs and he is at or around 50%.

Pretty tuff to,sell Hayes or Beleskey ,Why get rid of Moore good forth line layer pretty cheap. Nash or Lles sure move them if you can.Still not convinced Morrow can't be a decent player for Bruins.

Nothing against Moore but I would rather go with a younger, bigger, faster, more physical player like Sean Kuraly.

Although I like Kuraly, I don't know if we'd have won all of the 5 of 6 wins without Moore.

Thankfully they signed the lesser Liles in his stead.
