Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals V

[whitetape]

Right now Krejci is playing out of his mind hockey but if he needs to continue it for a few more months I think that he'll break down and even when Bergy is back we'll be without Krejci. I concur, although a great soldier and leader this is DK's last contract with the team.

Why is Krejci more likely to break down than Bergeron? If anything, Bergeron seems a tad more fragile.

Schenn would be amazing, worth Krug+ a young forward like Bjork or maybe Zboril.

who then replaces all the pts Krug provides from the back? CM hasn`t shown he is able to stay healthy enough to risk losing all that production from the back end

Krug could go down with a career ending injury on Monday....

See where I am going with this?

If Schenn is putting up 50-60 points on the 3rd line that would be a bigger upgrade in offense than the difference between Krug and Grzelcyk. I’ve gone back and forth on whether I think Krug should be traded during the year or next summer, but if we have a chance to add Schenn during the season, I think you have to go for it.

I think you have to go for it too and maybe my man crush on Krug has my judgement a bit clouded but I have to think there is/might be another way to get a deal like that done without Krug at this time? I dunno, I`m horrible at this stuff, my track record is well known

Interesting thread in the main board from someone in the KHL. The source thinks Kovalchuk will not be a King at the end of the season. He is doing alright but they are a bad team. Imagine him with Krech and on the PP, seems he is not getting PP time there. He is still dangerous and could accept playing down a line, unlike Panarin. Have to worry about the Russians, especially this guy.

Or Krug and Heinen for Schenn, he plays a lot like DeBrusk.

So is mine. Every time Krug makes a play like the one to Debrusk last night makes me wish he was on the team forever, but for every great play he makes he has a pretty bad defensive gaffe.

My proposals usually favor the Bruins so I have no idea if it even works lol.

haha, he makes his mistakes on D but I find he does more good than harm. I dunno, I have a thing for undersized players who play with heart and never back down from a challenge, think Krug is or would be a tough one to replace back there.

I like Kovalchuk and think he could work here, but I wouldn’t give up much for him.

My counter argument to the CM injury point is that they haven't really been nagging injuries. His two major injuries were the knee and the concussion.

oh for sure but if I`m GM , and again, my resume would be laughed at then immediately used for kindling, while CM`s injuries haven`t been an epidemic I still stand pat until the majority of the D come back and we see precisely what this team looks like healthy or close to healthy before really making a move.

I don`t know what the ransom would be for Schenn, what did he post last year? 70 or so points? Not going to come cheap and do the Blues want a Krug or would the ask be for a bigger body on the back end? Lauzon I`m sure has opened a few GM`s eyes with his play, he may one who others target, again, I know little about this stuff as evidenced by this post alone

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say any deal involving Krug/Schenn is going to have to include the Bruins taking another contract back in an expanded deal.

The Blues have less then 400K in LTIR space left. That becomes less then $300K in a straight up Krug/Schenn deal.

They have a couple of contracts they probably wish they could get out of, but they are also restricted with NTC/NMC.

Doable? Sure it is. But the proposals are going to have to be more creative and take everything into account. Like how would a potential deal make room for the Blues to do something creative on trade deadline. A Krug/Schenn deal doesn't help that. In fact, it hinders it.

Not that he's more prone to but that he's going at 100% and if history has shown us anything the last few years he can't do it for very extended periods.

So be it! For Schenn I would take on more $$$ or pay the differential in contracts $$$ between the two to make it happen.

 

[roflstomper]

I just don't think Krug has that much value. He's a bottom pairing PP specialist. That's just reality. Huge detriment 5on5. Take away his PP point he gets by standing there and touching the puck and his incidental assists and I'm not sure he gets you more goals than he costs you. Makes 5 million and only has another year after this. And if I'm St Louis I want to find anyway I can to get into the 1st round this year/ dump money and get a cost controlled roster player.

Okay. I usually don't do this ever, but I will throw one at you:

Krug + (insert your forward to take Schenn's spot) for Schenn + Gunnarsson.

Depending on the name you insert, you may have to throw in a pick or another prospect.

So you're going to ignore a huge part of the game just to make this comment? Lol......

Krug holds plenty of value in this league, and his elite production on the PP isn't something that should be scoffed at. Also really pointless to belittle the assist. He doesn't make the play that got him the assist, the goal may not happen.

Dom, I would still have to make the trade. Goaltending is set, Defense is set, the next extremely important position is center. As you know your center is like your third d-man. The B's have centers in the system but they may not be ready for another year. If they get Schenn they are strong down the middle again and can absorb short (maybe even long) term injuries to PB and DK. Get into the playoffs with 2/3 or even all three centers healthy with the d-core and other worldly goaltending that Rask and Halak are displaying and I feel really good about our chances. Now is the pivotal time IMO to make a move to shore up, and ride into the playoffs.

Edit: I don't know if any other team in the league can boast the defensive depth of the Boston Bruins.

I kinda skipped over Gunnarsson. Know nothing of his style/play. His $$ cap hit isn't bad and I guess then the trade would need to be expanded to another forward going to St. Louis. If need be d-men are always sought after at the trade deadline if the B's can't use him. The B's are as set at wing with the kids as they are with D-men. I pay the price and as long as I'm getting stronger down the middle and not weakening the overall team in any way I bolster-up for the long (and short) run!

This is why I come here. Thanks for the insight dom as usual.

Ok, gonna go younger, Lauzon or Zboril, JFK and pick for Schenn? Again, terrible at this stuff. Gives the Blues some cap relief while getting some nice young talent?
