Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals III

[Chief Nine]

Not me. I hope he returns and can produce.

It will disappoint me if we get to game 30 and he has 2-3 goals.

Agree with you on both points

 

[TCB]

Could have Sweeney made a deal ???

It does say might after-all and that he wasn't on the ice for the morning skate no-other details but the emergency call-up may-be good enough speculation that is an injury.

Jeremy Lauzon is back because the Bruins might have another injury on defense-the-bruins-might-have-another-injury-on-defense-bruins-injuries

Never-mind
Lauzon's emergency recall means he can only play in the event of an injury, so he's an insurance policy in case Grzelcyk can't go tomorrow against Carolina.

Unless they did trade Grizz for a forward and Lauzon is an emergency call-up for one of the other injured defenseman.

 

[Sheppy]

No trades, just more guys going down with injuries, I think.

 

[Dizzay]

Whats the consensus on what Columbus does with Bob and Panarin?
1) Trade before xmas
2) Hold until the deadline
3) Sign one or both?

I hope he’s actually fit to play and not gaming the system.

I don’t mean that maliciously either. From a competitor standpoint I’d never question the him. But he seems like the kind of guy they will have to drag away to retire.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

I'm doubting Backes waives his NTC some of the teams suggested. Carter, Panarin, Bob. Would only happen if the Kings and CBJ have "given up" for the season, which is message you hate to send to your players and fans.

 

[Bong Whisperer]

Even swap, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for Rask. Imagine how good Krejci will make RNH look...LOL!

I guarantee you the Bruins wouldn't let him on the ice to practice if that wasn't the case

Nothing like missing out on the playoffs with a Halak/McIntyre combo

 

[Sheppy]

I'm more confident in Halak right now and this is coming from a Rask supporter.

 

[Don Cherry]

Do you happen to have a better trade proposals? I'm just curious! Please let us all in on the master plan if you were the Bruins GM? I see lots of reasons why people's ideas are terrible but never any actual ideas of your own. Please enlighten us!

Lol ya I hope not. Nobody likes being told what to do though.

Unless someone told me to retire. And filled my bank account with money. I’d dance my ass off.

Yeah I wouldn't bury Backes just yet, hopefully he gets on track this year, I'm really rooting for him

 

[Don Cherry]

I think that's rask value now. Bennett is potential young impact player and was drafted early so it's worth the risk. We get Smith to backup Halak and take salary due to rask ridiculous cap space.

I'm not one of the Rask haters, but I'd be tempted.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

So are we suggesting we get RNH, and then play him out of position at wing?

 

[easton117]

I wanted to give him 20 or so games this year. Hopefully injury free. After last year he needed that at least to get in to form.

Now I don’t know. He’s had his bell rung at least twice in the past 6 months in significant fashion. That has to start wearing on you, no matter who you are

 

[Bong Whisperer]

Backes didn't seem to mind. Its not like their positional play is written in stone. Center is always harder than playing a wing. He should have no problem adjusting. Or maybe try Krejci on a wing? The trade is a nearly sideways in cap and salary and fills both teams needs.

No reason for Edmonton to trade their #1LW/#2C for a goaltender when Talbot is a serviceable number one goaltender.

Some people are just vultures. They sit and wait to pounce. Just ignore him, I, and I'm sure a lot of other, do.

Well, like I always say and will continue to, we don’t know what goes on behind those doors. All we’re doing is speculating , so you can’t say for sure what severity of injury David Backes or any player is dealing with or has had in the past. They keep it tight in the NHL which leaves lots of room for guesswork

 

[Absurdity]

If you asked me a few months ago, I thought it would be possible for Columbus to re-sign Bobvrosky in the offseason once he tested free agency. Right now, I'm not too sure. Unless Korpisalo impresses as a number one, you would think Bobvrosky stays unless Columbus trades for another starting goaltender, or veteran netminder.

With Panarin, I think option 2. From what I've read they would probably want another top 6 forward in return, not Gallagher but someone of that ilk, at the trade deadline. I think that price may change if Columbus is on the outside looking in. If they don't get what they want and are still in the hunt, I think it makes sense for them to keep him as their rental.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Nope. They sit, read, and comment. Just because I don't participate in this thread by proposing trades doesn't mean my opinion is null/void. Propose something good, and I comment. Propose something bad, and I comment. That's how it works. You can ignore me though, Donny boy. I have yet to see you propose something that would actually be good for the team. Who are you dealing Krug for this month?

 

[Bong Whisperer]

No reason for Edmonton to trade their #1LW/#2C for a goaltender when Talbot is a serviceable number one goaltender.

Ok, sweeten the pot with a prospect, like Zorbil.

vomit.

 

[ORR2Sanderson2ORR]

If backes is on long term injury can Donny have the space to trade for another player with a high cap hit?

Yes. I believe so. Dom could clear it up for sure but I believe thats why it was put in place. The team or teams insurance still picks up the contract but the team gets relief of the players Cap-Hit.
