All Bruins Trade Proposals/Rumours XI

[JoeIsAStud]

DS can talk all he wants about building from within and sticking to plan, etc. I get it.

But the reality is the Bruins will soon face a bountiful prospect crop that will have many more bodies than available spots. Nice problem to have, but an issue requiring movement either way.

Dom put it best on the Amigos podcast: It's getting real close to time to "thin the herd" and decide who is going to stay as that core next crop -- and who will be moved.

Fair enough.

Now put yourself in the trade market for the people you want, and the other team demands players you have determined as your core?

Sure Sweeney could thin the heard and deal a handful of good (not core) prospects to get us another 3rd line forward, and another 3rd pairing defenseman. I fail to believe that really helps the Bruins now, and certainly not in the future

He just said he is not willing to trade any of his top prospects for rental players. He is not deviating from the PLAN of drafting and growing the organization from within. Why is this so hard for some to grasp.

BecUse he's not doing anything to bridge the gap between the window of prospects, somewhere like 4-6 years away, to the window of guys like Bergeron, Chara, Krejci, Rask, etc. How do you tie these two groups together? That's the question. That's the issue.

I have a message for Mr. Sweeney ...



Hint, hint Don. Hint, hint.

 

[bruinmann77]

Still rather see DS keep his prospects

 

[Kosikarzzz]

Playoff experience is important to success in the future with all the yutes. Gotta give this team a chance...

 

[Ratty]

Yup. Sweeney should definitely be a deadline buyer. How about buying some lost draft picks from last year's adventure? Let's see, use Liles, Hayes, Nash and Beleskey as capital to buy us some more picks.

 

[bruinmann77]

It be nice to add a few 3 or 4 th rounders

Filppula was a 3rd rounder ...

So our future chances of a Stanley Cup rests on the shoulders of Senyshen, Debrusk and Zboril. That's even riskier then over paying for a proven comodity.

No. Not even remotely. There's much more in the core and in the prospect pool than this.

By the way, after your previous post blasting Sweeney for sitting on his butt someone asked what your proposal was.

Got anything worthwhile to add? And I am being serious. What do you think he should do?

Yeah the Bruins are in desperate need of playoff experience

Marchand 66 games
Krejci 93 games
Krug 27 games
Bergeron 95 games
Backes 49 games
Moore 93 games
Chara 141 games
K Miller 11 games
A McQuaid 54 games
Belesky 34 games
Liles 40 games
Rask 47 games

And Pastrnak, and Carlo, and McAvoy, and JFK, and Bjork, and Lauzon, and Frederic, and.....

I'd definitely be willing to bet a few gems will come out of our pool, especially considering the early results.

 

[bruinmann77]

They are not a cup contender but have to love these young upside

 

[Fonzerelli]

Jannik Hansen would look good on Spooners RW. I wonder what the price would be ...

 

[bruinmann77]

They can have Hayes and belesky

Earlier in the week they were looking for a #1 pick

Around a 30 point 3rd liner with a 2.5 million dollar cap hit for next year

Closer to 40. On pace for 38 this year. Very consistent to the 38 he had last year in just 67 games. Year before that he was also over 30 (33). Might be a good placeholder next year and help us in playoffs this year.

I wonder if we sent back Hayes with Czarnik and Heinen if that would do it.

eklund saying steve mason to boston

 

[bruinmann77]

What going back for mason

 

[bruinmann77]

I still think if they making a trade it to improve the 4th line

 

[CDJ]

iirc the one team eklund does seem to have sources with is philly

 

[bruinmann77]

I heard some talk about mike green might be available

 

[Fonzerelli]

eklund saying steve mason to boston

According to Ecklund

Bruins Stronger on Halak than Mason
Contrary to an earlier report, I was told tonight the Bruins are NOT considering trading for Mason and are more focused on Halak as of now..But as you can see...things change and we will try and take you on that roller coaster...

 

[bruinmann77]

Just as khuboin playing better.

 

[nhldream]

Think Dallas would let klingberg walk for mcavoy zboril lauzon and their pick of forward prospects with mcquaid? I feel like if we don't go in now we are wasting time. Our core will never be better than it is today. Our prospects will not be better than our core imo (wouldn't call myself an expert). If we don't buy now or in the summer Bergeron and krejci don't win another cup in a Boston jersey

 

[riverhawkey91]

I wish everyone could collectively agree to just completely ignore Eklund. The dude is the king of making things up and has been right maybe 4 times ever, all of which are probably attributable to someone else that he read.

Maybe if everyone stopped acknowledging him, even with the "I know it's Eklund but..." kind of posts, maybe he would finally stop and go away forever.
