C Tyler Seguin (2010, 2nd overall, Boston; traded to Dallas)

[Beesfan]

I would start my pursuit of Krejci with adding Burns. What else would we need to add to get Krejci?

Your proposal is pretty generous. Burns is a good player. Burns plus anything of value is a hard package to pass up. Don't get me wrong though, Krejci is a nasty player. He's just one of those guys you can't watch without wishing he was on your team.

Given the Bruins offensive stuggles, it's tough to trade Krejci now. Maybe a year or two from now it will be a real possibility if Seguin develops like Stamkos. But for now it would take a big offer to pry him from the Bruins.

Understandable that it would take a big offer. What I like is he is a center, young, nice deal, locked up for a few years then an RFA (if I'm thinking correctly). The Wild aren't looking that menacing down the middle and that is why I would trade a good asset in Burns for Krejci.

By the way, thanks for eliminating the Sabres! It helped my playoff bet.

Good one, this post made me laugh uncontrollably.

I will bet you any amount of money that Boston picks either Hall/Seguin (whichever remains).

Don't worry, some Panthers fans just can't let it go.

 

[Laurent]

Imo i see Hall more with Edmonton due to chemistry in (WHJC) with Eberle And if ever Boston picks Tyler Seguin, I'd see a line Lucic-Savard-Seguin (Just saying as a habs fan that would suck for us to have that as Bostons first line.)

Krejci is making 3.75m until 2012. He then will be 26 and a UFA.

RFA.

Part of the issue with the Bruins giving something to Edmonton is that it makes no sense. The B's have NO reason to give anything to Edmonton.

The only way Edmonton trades the pick to Boston is if they could give a damn who they pick, which is unlikely since that never happens with the 1st overall pick. Edmonton is going to pick who they want, whether it be Seguin or Hall. So even if the B's give them a 2nd or not, they are going to take whoever they want. The 32nd overall pick isn't going to sway them from taking their guy.

We also have no idea who either team wants. For all we know, Seguin is Boston's guy.

Point being, Edmonton is not trading the pick, so there is no reason to worry someone will move up and take whoever the B's want. The Bruins are in a position to take whoever is left over. NOTHING WILL CHANGE EDMONTON'S MIND. If Edmonton calls Boston and says, give us a 2nd and we take whoever you don't want, PC says, no thanks, we'll wait.

RFA.

Amazing contract by Boston. 3.75 million cap hit and an RFA at its completion.

Really? Interesting. Where at?

A "where's Waldo" type thing would be pretty kick ass if you ask me.

right on the main page there's a picture of hall and eberle in their team canada jerseys. there's an interview with hall where he says he'd love to play with eberle, and vice versa. their team canada connection will be cited as one of the deciding factors when they draft taylor.

 

[Tavaresmagicalplay*]

You can bet that Seguin will go to Edmonton. A lot of reporters with inside knowledge to the Oilers are saying Seguin is their guy.

The reports are changing all the time. There was another report that came out a while ago that Hall has the edge 6-5 with oilers scouts.

 

[lextune]

I have a feeling Boston is taking Fowler, it seems to make sense in every way because Boston has too many players at Both Hall/Seguin's position and Fowler would fit in well with the team, also can't see Hall or Seguin in Bruins jerseys, just doesn't make sense. Fowler for everything in Boston, I think all the awnsers are yes, plus I think it is going to go, also Florida deserves Seguin more than any other team.

Hall
Fowler
Seguin

lol....Chiarelli, who usually never tells anybody anything, has already said it will either be Hall or Seguin, (i.e. - whoever EDM doesn't take).

shh. a lot of boston fans [and for some reason, kings fans?????? wuh?] think that posting on hf about who they think the oilers should pick will affect reality

Peter Chiarelli & Cam Neely have both said On Air that they have Hall & Seguin ranked as their Top 2.

They just haven't said who they have at Number 1.

You're forgetting Vladimir Sobotka.

Oh, and Bergeron is more than capable of playing on the wing. He was a very effective winger his entire rookie season.

Colborne also played the wing at Denver more often than not.

And Chiarelli says Seguin can play any position up front.

 

[Qvist]

Edmonton is not trading that pick. Nor are they doing any secret handshake. Come draft day Taylor Hall will be wearing an Oilers jersey. He is just to much for the Oilers to pass up. They are not going to draft for position just because they are weak at centre. they will be taking the best player with the most credentials.

Besides which they're not really loaded at left wing either, are they? Positionally, you could argue that Hall makes better sense for them than Seguin does. In the middle, they already have Gagner and Eberle, on the right side they have Paajärvi-Svensson and Hemsky. Left side? Nothing high end, unless you count Dustin Penner.

This. It would be a huge shock if whoever picks 1st and 2nd didn't select Hall and Seguin - by all accounts, they are the rock solid, consensus top 2. Teams don't reach down to the next group of talent just because of positional needs. Especially not teams who have another mid-round pick to use on addressing those needs.

 

[RainingRats]

Boston's offensive struggles are exaggerated. Their system isn't an offensive first system and the most underrated center in the game missed a ton of games. Plus some slumping players. They will be very dangerous next season with Hall/Seguin.

Gagner is center, Eberle is strictly RW, MPS is LW, And Hemsky is RW. Original sentence of yours stands though. With Moreau likely gone we need LW more.

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Does Hall/Seguin remind anyone else of Tavares/Duchene?

Tavares was pegged to be a #1 overall pick for almost two years before he was even drafted, but in his draft year, Duchene started racing up the rankings to the point where some institutions were saying that he could be better than Tavares.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

It isn't impossible to see Seguin centering the 2nd line as soon as next year.Krejci could play wing next year. He's not really good at faceoffs so I could see him playing wing with Savard as these two have shown chemistry on the PP. They both possess world class vision and skills, a decent shot, smart skating, although not fast, making this move probable as Krejci can adapt to any situation. Once Bergeron's contract runs out/gets traded, Krejci can go back to center or Colborne can step in.

As for the cap problem, it isn't issue at the C position. The problem is with guys like Lucic, Sturm and Thomas.

 

[Reasoned Opinion]

If Seguin goes to Boston .......

....a number of things will happen:

- first multipoint game will be against Toronto
- first fight will be against Kessel annd he will win
- first shootout winner will be against the Monster


That is how karma works. It just is.

Eberle is consistently listed as C, as far as I can see. Whether that's what he'll end up as is a different matter of course. Wih MPS, it seems to be a bit of both. I've always thought of him as RW, but he seems to be listed mostly as LW as you say.

I really wish I knew more about Eberle, he is one of the most talked about and hyped prospects and I have never seen him play.

Anyway, a lot of the reports I have read have him listed as a center. So is he a center or right wing?

I love bitter Toronto fans. Upset that Boston is just as far this year as last year, even without Kessel AND Boston has their 2nd overall pick.

Let the hate consume you.
