Im not sure how I feel about it to be honest.
Before everyone started making trades I was content with staying put as long as we couldnt get our hands on Landeskog without trading carlo/mcavoy.
But the way things have progressed with basically all our rivals making moves, getting stronger, it would be nice to respond in some way, considering that it feels like we have something really good going on since Cassidy.
Agreed, the old cliche applies here for me, "sometimes the best move is no moves"
Division rivals talking a potential trade? Wow...
For the right price I'd take Stafford. He is having a poor year, and the price is probably suppressed, but I think he may be a better fit than Vrbata, and for a lot less
Kulikov is like trading for Liles, not what we need.

Not exactly shocker but buzz today around @QMJHL that #NHLBruins prospect Jakub Zbořil could be traded by B's. Purely speculation for now.

Am told now that it's down to three teams in a bidding war. #NHLBruins one of them for sureJimmy Murphy added,

Flames, Bruins, Panthers, Penguins, Islanders among the interested in Vrbata.
Same.
Although, the discussions should rightfully take place going into the summer regarding the lack of any move over such a long period of time to address the list above.
Hey, if he can't get it today and none that fit that criteria are moved, so be it.
But in the summer, we should all fully expect some help as another season of this core would have passed by with two holes that possibly are the result of the shortened season for a third year.
This time last year (within a day) the Bruins were 85% odds to make the playoffs. We all like what we have seen since the move but that third period was really sloppy and the Rangers are up next with a team that will no longer be looking to management for additions or subtractions.
are our rivals getting stronger?
The Sens acquisitions adds depth, not sure if either makes them better, if it does, minimally IMO
Habs have done little to convince me they are stronger today so far
Leafs, nice pick up with Boyle, makes them less exposed up the middle and perhaps they are better but not to the point where it has me overly concerned again
There has not been one deal made thus far that has me of the opinion that Sweeney needs/should react to whatsoever
I think it's safe to say that, based on Murph's 'sources' accuracy, the Bruins will not be trading Zboril, the Penguins will acquire Vrbata, the Bruins are NOT in a bidding war for Vrbata, and there is not much interest in Del Zotto and Streit
Selling who?
And who wants to buy whatever the Bruins are selling?
Yes because making the playoffs would be terrible instead of selling and getting great draft picks year after year that you can then trade for more draft picks. Worked out well for years in Edmonton.
we are not edmonton and we are not a stanley cup team , its obvious. people on here love to see the splash deal.
