Jordan Spence RD 1 Year 1.5M
Akil Thomas C/RW 1 Year 775k

:kings
Brandon Carlo RD 2 Years 4.1M
Justin Brazeau RW UFA 775k
Why? I admittingly do not know anything on Brazeau but I like Spence a hell of a lot more than Carlo, and think his upside is a lot better. I have been pounding the Spence drum for a few years though.

Also I think Thomas deserves to be in the line up if not as the 12th forward than at least over Lewis.

Spence, the 24 year old 5'10 defenseman who averages 12 minutes per game the last 4 games?

That is many tiers below Carlo.... dreadful value.

Whatever you think of Carlo v. Spence, it really doesn't matter, because it makes no sense as the basis for a deal that the Bruins would be looking for.

If the B's are trading Carlo it's to garner assets for a rebuild- such as a late 1st round pick + possibly a B level prospect.

If they are trading Carlo to get back a RD, they'd rather just keep Carlo.

As for Brazeau and Thomas... again it makes no sense. They aren't going to trade a 20 pt guy for "no longer a prospect" 3 pt guy.

If the B's can't get solid futures for Carlo they'll just keep him. If they can't get solid futures for Brazeau they'll try to sign him. If he walks as UFA... oh well. The team has enough Akil Thomas' on the roster and in Providence, and there will be plenty 13th Fs available in free agency.

thats perfectly fine to say it makes no sense for the bruins. but to say spence is so bad becasue of TOI for past 4 games was ridiculous.

Oddly enough no one said he is "so bad". That must be projection.

He simply is not close to Carlo, even the struggling Carlo this season. TOI is simply one data point.

data point pulled for 4 games. keep doubling down on your dumb uninformed post. spence has averaged 17.5 minutes a game this season. more data points double the points and is +13 over carlo. i can cherry pick dumb stats as well. projection. i and other kings fans (excluding OP) love spence other than far overpayment

Overrated your 5'10 3rd pair defenseman if you prefer. Your choice.

Carlo has more value to the Bruins and every other team in the NHL. Even with his struggles this season.

Bruins will seek far higher returns than Spence. Whether prospect, 1st, or roster player. It will be more worthwhile.

That person is not a Kings fan. They signed up last month and post the most ridiculously bad trades for Byfield (and Clarke). I really think the person is just trolling
op is not a new member and is definitely not trolling.
