Where is the Belesky rumour? Sorry
So the Bruins, who have a 75.5% chance of making the playoffs should be sellers? Is this pick this year in a draft that is being looked at as one of the weakest in more than a decade, where most likely you would be giving away Moore for nothing long term? Riley Nash is terrible, the other 4 have proven they are not ready for the NHL and Boston will probably have to try and find a good fourth line center next year if they don't get Moore to resign. Good on faceoffs, good penalty killer, good in the locker room and supposedly well liked by teammates and management, why move him just to move him?
It's not like Moore is gonna carry us to playoff wins. I'm not gonna argue that we can count on Czarnik more than Moore. But Czarnik + a 2nd or 3rd vs. Moore? It's close. I don't know if I'd bother for a 3rd, but if he gets a 2nd, I'd be willing to insert Czarnik.
I'll re-pose my question on Moore from the closed thread on whether we should consider trading him for a pick, and inserting Czarnik into the lineup.
Again, let's flip the tables. If the Bruins are where we are now, but without Dominic Moore, would you want to trade a 2nd round pick for him?
I personally don't like Czarnik...if they could unload him for someone else (Vrbata) I'd do it.

Fenian said:I'm just not seeing it as Tampa because of there cap issues. They are trying to cut salaries why would they add Beleskys contract?

I'll repost my answer then.
I'd disagree about trading Moore, this is just my opinion, but I think a good bottom 6 carries a lot of weight in the playoffs.
I remember back in 2004, that Joe Thornton got hurt and had a terrible first round against Montreal. But another problem in that series was that our fourth line pivot Teddy Donato also was hurt; I remember he was a big factor down the stretch and I always thought his absence was more the reason we lost that series than Thornton.
It's just my opinion of course, but I think Moore can be that glue type of guy too.
Czarnik not ready his -10 is the red flag. He will get better but he is just not ready.

I really like Dominic Moore and wouldn't mind seeing him re-signed at similar money on a 1-year deal.
That being said, if another team offered up a 2nd rounder, he can pack his bags.
He's been a good player for Boston this year, but no team is giving up a 2nd for him. A 3rd is doubtful.
For a 4th, I'd just as soon hold onto him.
Great move for Rangers . Brendan Smith for a 2nd and a 3rd in a weak draft That kid will help them.
I agree. Moore is a valuable playoff piece in the room. He's our Thornton/Kelly element. And this years draft is so weak, anything less than a mid 2nd round pick is not worth losing what he brings to us for the post season.
I also like the idea of re-signing him for one year at similar money. Maybe a small raise if he delivers for us this spring. I wouldn't mind seeing Kuraly or Cave (or both) get some time in that spot next year, but if the price difference from those guys to Moore is basically a couple hundred thousand, I'd just as soon let Moore keep the spot warm, as I don't see any of those 3 guys in our long range plans.
And by the time he is ready, so are a handful of other prospects with higher ceilings. If they can get something for him, do it
Is the draft weak all the way down, or just lacking in 1st half of the 1st round guys?
