Value of: Bruins wants

[TheImpatientPanther]

They can buy out Reilly and Forbort and trade Gryz at a loss and still be a contender. Then they *could* make other moves to bring back Bertuzzi, re-sign Frederic, or make other moves to allow them to let kids marinate more. But, they will be fiiiiine.

Is Bergeron for sure coming back?

Is Bergeron for sure coming back?

The betting man has Bergeron back one last time and Krejci retiring.

 

[dredeye]

Mid to late 1st + one of JBD/Thomson for DeBrusk from Ottawa (assuming such a 1st comes back in a DeBrincat trade)

Care to expand the deal to include Ullmark? You guys have some attractive young pieces to expand on this deal. Solid offer though on JBD. I think they do want to keep him but this is an intriguing offer

I'm not sure the sens could give the value you'd get elsewhere on Ullmark. They're in a spot right now where touching roster pieces would be terrible, picks are pretty depleted, and there isn't much on the farm because so many have graduated.

I think am Ullmark/Forsberg pair could be great though.

Would a Creig or Boucher be available? I get the sentiment with the roster and picks

 

[bigbadbruins1]

IDC what gryz or rielly return. "future considerations" comes to mind. Ullmark late 1st/early second to make up for Sweeney ****ing us by constantly trading all of our picks.

 

[Neiler]

Greig, highly doubtful. Boucher, most likely unless Dorion wants to prove something. He is a very high risk, medium reward player.

 

[Maukkis]

Zacha and Swayman for a center from the Jets, with additional pieces on either side as needed. The problem is, which center and which pieces.

(...Zacha has a NTC. So much for that idea.)

I'd also be very interested in Grzelcyk, but there are probably 25 teams who need LHDs more than us and thus will pay a prettier penny for his services.

No NTC until July 1st. Ullmark does have one, though. If it’s Swayman it’s PLD.

Oh, CapFriendly shows it prematurely then.

Not opposed to giving up PLD in lieu of Scheifele at all, if the deal is good. In fact, the thought of PLD in Boston is somehow very... satisfying.

 

[Coffees]

Bring them both back or don’t bother

 

[quietbruinfan]

This has no basis in logic or research, but I smell something out of left field from Sweeney. That means neither Jets center. (Do not want anyway.) NO Kuzy and no Flames center, though Backlund would be a good, cheap addition I think. That leaves someone like Dvorak yuuuuuuuuuuuck, but I really think it will be a trade and a surprise.

 

[UncleRico]

Ullmark baseline should be the kuemper deal on 1st/3rd/middling prospect

Hall the athletic says a first rounder, but I’d say probably a 2nd+

Gryz could haul the Bruins a 2nd

The interesting one will be Marchand. Pretty much dependent on if bergeron moves, but they could get a decent haul for him with 2 years left on his deal. Some contender would overpay for him especially around the deadline.

 

[GCK]

Bruins will have to dump at least someone making at least Grzelcyk’s salary in addition to trading/buying out Reilly and Forbort. They may want to move more than that to bring back UFAs like Bertuzzi or to just make other moves to change the makeup of the club.

This thread is to post what the Bruins WANT in return for some of their players to see if anyone would be willing to pay the price or if expectations need to be adjusted.

Ullmark: 1st or 2nd and prospect or equivalent. LD and C prospects of most interest. Guys like Jack Drury or POJ, not your top guys, but guys that are NHL ready and can slide into a sheltered role.

Gryz: 2nd

Hall: 2nd

Forbort or Reilly: future considerations

And then there is another list of guys who I could see the Bruins move if they were getting market value, but wouldn’t be their first choice like DeBrusk, Swayman, etc.

What say you?

I’d say Ulmark has less value than you mention. Maybe a 2nd and decent prospect. Gryz might get you an additional pick something like 2nd + 4th. Hall would likely get at least a late 1st.

Ullmark and Hall have really tough values to nail down. If Ullmark got a first plus and if Hall got very little or vice versa wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[Riverfront]

debrusk, forbort, reilly to winipeg
dubois, stanley to boston

 

[northeastern]

With the gymnastics the Bruins are going to have to do this summer, that pick they gave up for Bertuzzi, could be 10-15th overall.

That roster is a mess.

Lots of time between now and then, and I fully agree but that trade was worth it. This roster was built for a playoff push and they needed to go all in. Too bad that went so poorly haha...

Lots of changes and unknowns up in the air for Boston

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Bring them both back or don’t bother

Bergeron, Zacha, Coyle, ? is quite reasonable. I too expect Krejci to retire.

They have $74 million of their $78-79 million already committed to next season, and still need Swayman and 6 forwards signed. Yes, it’s a mess anyway you try to sugarcoat it.

Swayman is getting $3+. So enjoy those 6 forwards with a couple million left and a whole lot of good assets with no contracts.

They have no choice but to give players away. Swayman is likely one of the few they’ll get return on.

It’s Vegas from last summer without the contracts already in place. So it’s worse. By far.

You appear to have missed your own point.

Mine is there is no chance the resulting roster is a 10-15th draft pick.

Is Dubois signed makes a difference..........
