Proposal: Bruins Trade Proposals V

[AngryMilkcrates]

Nylander to Boston makes zero sense to me. The contract issues, cost, impactful assets going to a possible first-round rival, the player's lack of fight...

I just don't see it.

However, I could see both teams talking about a smaller trade involving Connor Brown or Zach Hyman. Both hard working tough forwards. Give their all and are players that play in all situations.
Brown has no place in a deep Toronto roster anymore, Hyman is worth losing for a defenseman they need. Again, not a big trade, but one that is more realistic.

 

[ODAAT]

How about keeping Bjork, Zboril, JFK, Heinen and Gryz and getting Nylander?

I dunno, I`m always hesitant dealing with a player whose Daddy is one who likes to interfere constantly

 

[McGarnagle]

I don't see how you can pass on Schenn. We have half the Providence Bruins in our defensive lineup right now. I know he's not good, but he's a warm body with NHL experience. As said above, once the other d-men come back healthy, waive him again.

 

[Coach Parker]

I doubt an opposing GM tells DS to pump the brakes. If anything, if DS was having conversations with a GM, the price just went up. And there will be a marked increase depending on how bad Bergeron is.

The Bruins are in the situation now that I dreaded. What to do?

On one hand we have the ever so patient Don Sweeney, who will do things calmly and by putting a lot of thought into it. On the other, we have Cam Neely. Mr. emotional, the logo tattooed on his chest, now is the moment kind of guy.

I'm watching that situation more then the product on the ice.

It's always the case no?

1. Injured players = don't make a trade, you're in a position of weakness.
2. Healthy lineup = don't make a trade, see what you have when healthy.
3. Slumping team = don't make a trade, position of weakness.
4. Hot streak = don't make a trade, team is on fire and chemistry is good.
5. Deadline = don't make a trade, prices are too high.

Basically, this thread is for draft day.

 

[Coach Parker]

And then what, pay him 8mil? Lol no thanks. Nylander might help this team to fill a hole or 2 but unless we are sending Backes with that package its a no from me dawg.

Edit: read that wrong, but I still stand but what I said. I want no part of Nylander unless we ship Backes with it.

I'd take Nylander on anything 7.25 and under if it meant we'd have someone else other than the 1st line scoring. Didn't see much at all last night when the first line was occupied doing the fighting the other lines should be helping out with.

Is anyone else concerned as I am that Bergeron, Marchand, Krug and a kid in his first NHL game are the ones sticking up for one another and fighting?

If you aren't playing physical, sticking up for your teammates, scoring or controlling the play in some manner then why are the Bruins employing them?

Really like the third line youth/talent injection and would love to see BJ-JFK-DH line stay together all season so that means get some help for Krejci and DeBrusk.

As for anyone not on the first, second or third line, ask yourself:

'What's your role and why are you here? Are you contributing at all? Are you doing your job?'

So true. Excuses abound for no trades around here to defend the GM.

End of the day we have now had Sweeney for long enough as GM to expect that not much happens via trade to bolster this team. He’s almost certainly going to ride it out, keep bringing up kids who earn the shot and hope the veteran stars carry the load.

In the end the measure of his success will be whether the collective quality of the kids is enough to push them over the top while Bergeron, Rask, Chara, etc. are all effective. Probably a couple years left in that window, at most. Guess we just hope some of the kids take big jumps soon.

 

[Sheppy]

We’re not after Nylander, lol

 

[bp13]

I don’t fully understand the narrative that Cam Neely is an impatient guy. Certainly Dom you’d be in a better position to judge, but I don’t see how any events prove this narrative.

Extremely long-term coach (Julien), two GMs, very few meaningful deals aside from a few offseason moves (none earth shattering). Aside from Seguin, I can’t think of a single trade or transaction that seemed rushed or impetuous. Yet I can think of countless times it felt like change would do them good and nothing had happened.

He looks all fired up on TV, but the actions of him or his hires don’t show it at all. Good or bad, I have no idea. Moreover, he says next to nothing in the media to fire up anyone or hold folks accountable. Sinden had comments on a monthly basis. Neely is a veritable ghost.

Dubas could be scouting Arizona. I’d love Kasperi Kapanen though. They wouldn’t trade him but he’d look nice in our top 6. Big, skilled and great speed.

Agreed. Kapanen is very good, he’d be a guy I’d love to see. Guys got wheels for days.

put a claim on schenn… waive him out again when our guys return from the injury list

ironically... ive had the great enjoyment of joining an eastside hockey manager league with some of the fun posters here and from day 1 my goal was to get as many bruin players or guys with ties to the bruins onto my team as possible. sort of a way of living my little dream of being with the real team

and so far I was able to get jan Kovar first... then bruins grabbed him... and I was like holy crap that's cool
couple days ago I got luke schenn in a trade... if bruins actually do get him... trust me im going to burst

and just in case theres any connection between what I do and what the bruins are doing...I promise everyone here I will look up who has connor McDavid and trade that gm Zach senshyn {and maybe 10-20 real life dollars} for McDavid.

I mean if I do have the power to influence what the bruins are doing... then I definitely will use it as a force for good

Its a cant lose situation. 600,000 dollar cap hit, thats peanuts. If Schenn performs above expectations, the Bruins could possibly get a pick for him down the road at worst they carry him for the year but Id guess if they put him back on waivers someone would take him.

I don’t see it either.

Brown I could see. Hyman is Babcocks binkie though. Might charge extra to get that guy

Yeah, but everyone else in town wants Hyman gone just for that reason. Would not put it past Dubas to pull that rug from under him, especially if it got them a young NHL D.

True. He shipped out his other ones in Komarov and Polak so you never know.

Properly slotted Hyman is probably best suited for third line duty. But, he might have a field day chasing down pucks for Bergeron and Marchand.

It’s interesting to think of. Doubt it happens though. Boston is closing in on enemy number 1 in Toronto.

If Dubas is at the game tonight it is to look at the yotes, not us.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Kapanen would be a nice add and not cost as much as Nylander. Nylander does have the chemistry with Pasta playing together in Sweden and would set us up nicely for the next decade. Cannot not see us trading with the Leafs but who knows. They will want a decent package if it is Nylander. Maybe JFK was a showcase all along, Leafs need dee so maybe Lauzon is the target or Zboril. All a guessing game, probably looking at the Yotes more then anything. Kapanen playing good does give them more problems in trying to sign 4 guys soon.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

There is a rumor beginning to circulate (I don't know how factual it is) that Kyle Dubas will be at the game tonight.

Feel like they would be more likely scouting Arizona, no? Probably Chychrun...

 

[Gordoff]

Probably to scout the Coyotes?!!?

 

[Gordoff]

If Bergy is expected to be out for more than 5 games I'm hoping that they can find an experienced center to slot in on the 2nd or 3rd line. Also would like it if it's someone who can stick around not just a rental. Problem is that the Bruins deepest asset to use are defensemen, very very good defensemen but with so many injuries I would imagine that for the next little while they can't even spare one of them. While I would seriously hate losing any of them something about the offense needs to be done. We are not deep in any way with our young forwards (I'm sure that's shocking to hear) so it's extemely important to rectify that imbalance in the very near future ASAP!

What I was suggesting is an offer to WN. And for 7 m or less in order to minimize the draft choice loss. We would still have to deal with. Backes pay check.

Id love to offer him around 4 mill... but he enjoys toronto and is jacking them.. hes willing to throw away 1/4 of this years paycheck to jack them for every penny possible

Why would he take 7 mill here to save us some picks?

If he was willing to take a nicholas ehlers type deal toronto would have signed him. He has already thrown away 1.5 million dollars because he wants much much much more than that

 

[Ratty]

He's not likely to get more than 7 mil in rfa. Leafs will be hard pressed to match, what with Mathews, Marner and Gardner to attend to at season's end.

I doubt anyone else will go 8 mil for him and lose two first round picks.

I can easily see a team offering him 5 years 7.25 million which he would sign given that it eats up zero ufa years, takes him to UFA and if the Leafs don't match, the team only gives up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

 

[DominicT]

IF I were targeting a NYR, it would be Vladdy Namestnikov.

Now there is a guy that needs a change of scenery
