Lambert and a pick for Carlo and Frederic would be the type of trade I’d like to see them make before the deadline

Carlo has a NTC, so he's likely not an option for the Jets. I could see the Jets having some interest in Frederic, though I don't think he's much of an upgrade for the Jets' middle 6.

Not many contenders with 2025 1sts available this year, so they are going to be at a premium.
 
You know if Coyle were to be moved, he’d have a great end of season/playoffs and then get paid. If I’m the Bruins, I either keep him and hop to resign him for the same/a little more or trade him

I'm just curious what interest there would be in these Bruins that could be made available at the deadline and some that for sure will be if we sell which again we should. Prospects and picks are of most interest. We could take on an expiring contract to help increase returns. Retention would only be on expiring deals.

Carlo MTC 8 team list RD Big stay at home d man locked up for two more years at 4.1

Coyle C NMC so hard to do but assume he agrees. Solid 2/3 c who has played up and down the lineup for us. One more season at 5.25

Frederic C third line center not having as strong a season as last year but on an expiring contract at 2.3

Brazeau Big strong bottom line rw who is a strong net front player who's having a season. Minimum contract ufa to be. Would like him back

Koepke/Wotherspon are just depth pieces but decent ones on expiring deals.

Then there's Marchand. I can only see him moved if he asked management to get him a shot at a cup and hopefully comes back in the off season.

These are more like trade strips..Doesn't a chip need some meat on it?

Coyle playing elseware even for free would make this Bruin fan happy, he can take Carlo with him.

Two easy to play against flowers that wilt under pressure

t top 4 rhd with term has no value? I 2/3 center that can play up and down the lineup has no value? A top line winger with loads of playoff expererience and a cup a ring who also happens to be a captain has no value? A gritty middle six center/winger has no value? There's some depth pieces in there but give me a break

Coyle has another year on his deal and if you wanted him back in your scenario you could just sign him in the off season given he makes it there.

I think prices are going to be low this year with so many tweener teams that can make the playoffs, but who won’t be buying rentals. There aren’t a ton of contenders who are suitors, and honestly, those aren’t attractive rentals I see. I highly doubt Marchand moves. Maybe a mid rounder for Frederic, and late rounders for the rest of the rentals, but the longer contracts probably aren’t going to move either.

I think if anything the opposite result due to this. Only 7 or 8 clear sellers and a bunch of teams in the mix, also a whole lot of teams that see themselves as serious contenders.

The guy who leads all centers in takeaways is easy to play against? He'll finish with around 120 hits, 50+ takeaways and is one of the best in the league at protecting the puck.

He also gets 65% Dzone starts and plays well enough defensively to garner Selke votes last season.

How is Geekie? And whats the ask?

Wow that is a tough one...

I think he is the type of player you want to acquire, not trade.
That said, I think he has pretty good value, but if his contract demands aren't bad (3.5 -4 2-3 years) Bruins should re-sign him.

I would guess value would be young player , C preferred, with upside and a 2

Could be a bidding war

The Blues are in year 3 of a rebuild. Are the Bruins going down the same path?
Click to expand...
The Bruins don't really do rebuilds. They re-tool, swapping out core veterans for newer models. They've been doing it for years with success: Chara to McAvoy, Thomas and Rask to Ullmark and Swayman, Horton to Pastrnak, Zacha did a good job of replacing Krejci's production last year putting up 59 points... but Lindholm wasn't able to fill the Bergeron spot, and that was kind of the tipping point for things going off the rails.

Whether or not they are forced to rebuild remains to be seen. I think they believe they're better than they've showed. This season was a perfect storm of issues starting with Swayman missing camp and struggling to get his game back through the first half, Marchand missed camp recovering from 3 off-season surgeries, Elias Lindholm hurt his wrist and missed all of camp, Pasta played injured in the first half, Hampus Lindholm broke his knee cap blocking a shot and missing 40+ games, Carlo has struggled without a puckmoving partner in Lindholm/Grzelcyk, Poitras struggled early and got sent down... Maybe it's all excuses but I can't remember a season with this many calamities.

With McAvoy out for a bit BOSs playoffs hopes wouldn't be high unless they try to pull a Vegas and acquire McAvoys cap worth of players for a playoffs push .

Likely sellers if the management is smart

Management is far from smart. Frankly they are almost delusional in their overrating a group of bottom six forwards and sixth or seventh defensemen.

Their lousy roster will force a couple of rebuild trades however.

For instance, even with McAvoy's injury, i think they trade Carlo at low value.

As for Coyle, he looks very close to done. Someone please take him and at least four million of his 5.25.

Stop with this insanity, he is the most overrated player in Bruin history.

I hope the rest of the GM's in the league are as nuts as you. We should get 3 firsts for that type of player at the deadline.
