This doesn't make a lick of sense for the Kings.

And a Very humorous one at that.

Really?

I dont think its that far off they get Debrusk who can fill somewhat of the loss Toffoli, Krug and Muzzin are pretty much a wash and Miller brings a tough hard nose type of defenseman whose game has evolved into a pretty good skating d-man as well. His style of play would fit in nicely with the more physical western conference.

how much do you remember Toffoli from Manchester against PRO, ORR?

I really like Kevan Miller's play, and he's a solid #5 defenseman, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the Kings to downgrade at both forward and LHD (a position they could also use an upgrade in) to get a RHD. They could go out and find another RHD and not give up all that in the process.

Ya your right about that. I guess I'm proposing with my Bruins goggles on.

Dammit and I really like Toffoli and Muzzin.

I would think now that they have seen Krug this season. It might be time for a trade. He's still young. Many teams would have a ton of interest. You could package him with another veteran to sweeten the deal come the trade deadline

I guess maybe I have Bruins glasses on, because I looked at it, and thought no way I am downgrading my defense by giving up both Miller and Krug to get Muzzin

The B's have to make a major league decision.... They have a bunch of guys they could trade. Nash... Spooner... Krug...
Kejchi... And a few others. Do it now !!!!

 

[Oates2Neely]

I’m not a fan of Muzzin, and I like DeBrusk on his ELC

DK Has a NTC

 

[DKH]

I'm not dealing DeBrusk for Toffoli.

DeBrusk is a better passer and skater and he will score as well to me. DeBrusk projects better defensively.

I like Toffoli but not doing that. I would not be happy.

Muzzin was catching crap last year on their board. He apparently has got his game back.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

John Tavares.

B's just bumped the Islanders out of the last playoff spot.

Imagine if the Isles decide to keep Tavares for a playoff run, only to miss the playoffs and lose him for nothing? Would they really risk that kind of setback to their franchise?

I could understand them keeping him if they were a top3 team in their division at the deadline, but with him unsigned and the Isles on the playoff bubble? No way.

what logic makes 1 playoff team trade an impending ufa because they are afraid to lose him... to another playoff team? specifically why is the second team gutting itself for someone they might lose for nothing?

if the second team wants him bad enough to gut their team... why doesnt the first team want him too?

making playoffs puts several million dollars into the owners pocket. even if the team is close why will they hurt their chances trading their best player?

teams that want taxpayer dollars for arenas need to convince fans that they are worth cheering for. trading the most popular player and costing a playoff is not the way to do this

in history weve never seen a playoff team trade its best player for picks because of ufa. weve barely even seen a guy like glenclose get traded and there was special circumstances

eriksson was being shopped for a player under contract. maybe tavares can be dealt for a similar vetern player under contract but he wont be rented for kids

 

[Nothingbutglass]

We cant trade Krug mid-season for the same reason we cant trade Spooner, we dont have the NHL ready depth for this year's playoff run at C or LD. I think this year is pretty open. Capitals can lose 4-0 in 1st round cuz its what they do, TB is better but who knows in a series. To face Vegas or the Jets in the West? There are no dominant teams this year

You're upgrading from Krug to Muzzin and from DeBrusk to Toffoli. You may be moving Kevan Miller in the process, but you also have McQuaid to slot onto the 3rd pairing. You free up a LW spot for any one of Cehlarik/Bjork and strengthen the RW.

If we are intending to make any trade we must deal with our cap limits. This very likely means someone with a big paycheck needs to go

A 1 for 1 trade might not make sense. Perhaps we would need 1 trade that moves salary out and a second trade that brings salary in

If krug and/or spooner are being moved i will suggest 1 of bjork/cehlerik would be waiting in line to replace spooner and grezlek is the obvious guy to become the new pp guy on defense.

Where we would want to see our updrade is a more complete dman in the top 3. And that would cost money.

Is such a guy even available?

I have a hard time coming up with guys im willing to trade krug for that i think might be realistic targets

Up front the list of guys i think are better than bjork/cehlerik is also short.

Cap management and cost to acquire these guys dulls my taste. Our need to upgrade today doesnt exist. Perhaps we will become more desperate before the dead line but not today

We should listen to offers in case the opportunity is offered but make sure this trade is a winner

Doesn't seem to me like the Bruins need to make any changes. Sweeney won't do anything until the TD. Now he's in a position of strength. Not before when people were calling for his head that he hadn't made a trade.

If Sweeney doesn't go out and make a trade to add to this team (in a much more positive way than Stempniak, JML), fans will call for his head again haha.

His team is winning right now. He can sit back and wait. I'd rather they don't trade. Rentals are not worth it. They aren't good at the pro eval.

 

[bob27]

I wouldn't touch the D. With the emergence of Grzelcyk there are no obvious avenues for upgrades there, unless you are talking about huge blockbuster moves and those should probably be done during off-season.

Finding a legit RW for Krejci would push them over the edge to contender territory. Good thing here is that for once Sweeney has all the time on his side, so he can patiently look for the best available offer. If a good trade doesn't present itself, standing pat is perfectly reasonable course of action.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

1.5 years of Simmonds sounds pretty damn good to me. I want another Cup while Bergeron/Marchand/Rask/Krejci are still prime players, and before McAvoy gets a huge raise.
I don’t care if he’s considered a power play specialist. I know it’s unlikely but damn he’d be a get.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

DK Has a NTC

He’d be the first player in history traded while having a
NTC.
