Proposal: All Bruins trade rumors/proposals: 16/17 Part VI

[Killerbeez]

I like our top 6 and our forward prospects

No need to do anything right now big

I'm right there with you for now. Over the past three games we have seen different things from many players. Not sure exactly what our team is at this point. Sure its flawed and some will come back to earth, but some won't (hopefully). Spooner certainly has looked different lately.

 

[AlpineLager]

Really think Celharik (<-- spelling) is going to be good with Krejci and Pasta. No to a kings ransom for Landeskog. Now if somehow Duchene or Mckinnon are possible... then you take a long hard look at it.

 

[Ratty]

The fact that Sakic is staying for the Beanpot bothers me. Unless he's looking at undrafted students, his focus could be on JFK and McAvoy. This means Sweeney's offered one in a trade for Duchene or Landeskog. But who knows, perhaps Donny is including Sherman and Fitzgerald, which I would be OK with. Sherman is a junior and Fitz is a senior and more ready than, say, an 18 yr old.

Zboril, Spooner, Sherman, Fitzgerald and a 1st for Landy. Maybe substitute Denver U. alum, Heinen, if Joe insists.

 

[RoccoF14]

I don't see Colorado making that deal. Not even close.

That BU team is so loaded w/ talent that they could be looking at just about anyone. Nashville has been in talks w/ Colorado so maybe they are looking at BU blueliner Dante Fabbro. They could get looking at Jake Oettinger whose projected as a late 1st early 2nd rounder.

I don't think his trip to watch the Beanpot is as much about JFK/McAvoy as other think.

BU is loaded. Taking in a game like that is doing his due diligence for now and later on. Fabbro, Krys, I guess even Clayton Keller could be targets as well.

Unless its Duchene coming back McAvoy stays a Bruins IMO.

Celharik shouldn't be depended on yet, hes played 2 games.

I will, however, give you that his presence gives Sweeney more fire power should CO wants someone like Debrusk/Heinen as a secondary piece.

Spooner should be going nowhere, with Cassidy at the helm he is a new player. All this team really needs is a top 9 forward to replace Hayes and a legit top 3 D-man. Perhaps a better backup would help too.

Remember a few years back when most here said "hands off Subban"....how'd that work out for us.

Blue chip or not, I will almost always give up a prospect to acquire a proven NHL player, especially when said player is young and talented.

If you want players like Lando, Duchene, Trouba or Hanafin, you need to give up something pretty valuable. Remember, we're the only team that gives up quarters for nickels.

 

[Malt]

Cehlarik has, somewhat surprisingly, been assigned to Providence. Perhaps a deal with Colorado is in place?

Edit: I didn't realize that the bye week also meant no practices in Boston. Makes sense to send him to Providence.

It doesn't take much to fans' attitudes around. Let's face it, Spooner is probably the only quality guy on the team that can bring back a return. If Sweeney wants to improve the roster, he has to give up something. And McQuaid, Hayes and Nash are not going to get the job done. Plus, most of the skilled, in demand, players have NMCs.

With the developing youngsters such as Czarnik, Spooner is expendable. And his good, all around play lately, will only enhance his value.

He's sent down to the AHL so he can play during the bye week.

I'm guessing it's to save cap dollars. Seven days off, why eat cap?
Also what Ace said.

I'm sure he'll be back up after the bye week.

You hold onto him because his all around play most likely exceeds any of the players being disclussed in trades. Cheaper too.

 

[Dizzay]

I think we should keep Spooner. I like him and Vatrano on the 3rd line, we just need a "Lucic" type guy on their LW and trust me, Jimmy Hayes is not that guy.

I'm loving the Marshy-Bergy-Backes line, its a monster and when they start getting used to Backes on there, they'll erupt.

I like the addition of Cehlarik to the Krejci-Pasta line. I don't love it though. I'd be pumped if we got an upgrade to bump him down with Spooner and Vatrano.

Nash-Moore-Schaller/Beleskey/Hayes is a suitable 4th line. Beleskey or Hayes needs to go in whatever moves we make though. We don't have room or need for both.

If I'm DS, I bite on Landeskog or Duchene, and plug them with Krejci and Pasta. That makes our top 6 incredible. I'd consider taking Iggy if Hayes/Beleskey went the other way. As for our D, I'm fairly happy with them right now. Chara looks great since coming back from the flu. Carlo has been his usual steady self. Krug/McQuaid pairing has looked good and the Miller's are playing awesome as our 3rd pair. Sure it'd be nice to have someone as an upgrade over McQuaid on our 2nd pair but I think he's looked fine the last number of games. We have Liles and Morrow as insurance.

Not sure what it takes to get Landy/Duchene, but I'd start with:

Bos 2017 1st
Jakub Zbořil
Jake Debrusk
Joe Morrow

To be clear, I was talking about JFK & McAvoy. I would give those two up in a heartbeat in a deal for the players I mentioned. I think Carlo is more untouchable than those two simply because we know he can play at this level.

Dom tweeted this morning that a former NHL coach says the Bs and Avs are close to a deal.

[Ten Thousand Hours]

I just don't get why we would choose to cash in assets on a forward. Our forwards are good now and there are even more on their way. On D, we still have McQuaid on the second pair today and don't have a clear replacement for Chara as a top 2 LD.

 

[Bmessy]

The price will be mighty high for Duchene and he's only signed for 2 more years. I don't like that. Having a cost controlled possible #1 in McAvoy is worth a waiting for and I wouldn't want to flip that for Duchene. I know you gotta pay to play but the threat of Duchene leaving after 2.5 years is not enticing. Might as well go all in and throw the kitchen sink at MacKinnon if you're gunna include McAvoy.

Who is better MacKinnon or Duchene? seems like MacKinnon stats have regressed since his rookie year. But COL has been a dumpster fire so that doesn't help

This is not good.

 

[Number8]

Yeah, he's been trying to make a significant trade for so long that now he's willing to give up the farm (overpayment) for pieces that we may not even need any more. They were here all along, just hidden under Claude's big Oxfords.

Look, I'm having as much fun as everyone else with the three game win streak and renewed offense. That said, and not to be a negative nelly, but let's get realistic:

1) We beat Canuck's (who are not a good team) and two slumping teams: SJ (game three of a four game losing streak) and Habs (.500 since torid start). That's great, but again, let's slow the roll a bit.

2) We scored 12 goals in Claude's last three games and PP was definitely in high gear.

This is not to downplay Cassidy's positives nor be a doomsayer. But before you claim all is perfect and was perfect if not for Claude stomping all over it, let's see a bit more.

We still need a backup goalie, need a top 4 dman, and let's see how young guys hold up when end of season/playoff hockey ramps up.

Maybe we'll be fine, but let's not start thinking we are 1980's Oilers just yet.

I'm really interested as to what this could be.

 

[Gator Mike]

On the record now as being very opposed to dealing either Carlo or McAvoy.

These are the kinds of kids the Bruins have spent years looking for. Now that you have them, don't deal them away the first chance you get.

As long as it isn't McAvoy i won't be too upset. Carlo looks like he could be good, but I question his offensive upside.

McAvoy better not be moving for Landy.
