Player Discussion David Pastrnak XIII -Report, Extension to be announced Today!

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Anaheim has money. Most in the league when it comes to cap once Klingberg is traded. Could we possibly see a sign and trade with Anaheims seconds this 23’.

He makes so much sense from a Anaheim perspective.

Bedard - McTavish - Pastrnak

Right shot Bedard and right shot Pastrnak. I can’t wait for the deadline. Anaheim has money and we’re gonna spend it with this draft year.

Thank you for reading! Appreciate it

Are you suggesting the Bruins trade Pastrnak at this deadline for 3X 2nd round picks?

I originally was for trading Pastrnak by the deadline if the Bruins hadn't signed him. But with how the season has gone to this point the Bruins are better off losing him for nothing. If they were middle of the pack I would have done it but not with how they look now.

And to this fan 3 2nd round picks doesn't move the needle for me.

Yeah, if we were even where the Canes or Vegas are - in first place but not by much - I'd probably open up calls on him because losing him for nothing would be inexcusable (but 3 second rounders is a joke of a return). But when you're 40 games into the season and literally on pace to set the all-time points record, screw it, we're going all in, cup or bust.

Our pick is super high. Our second round picks aren’t anything to scoff at. This is a very very deep draft. It’s up to the Boston fans if they want 3 second rounds or a first round from someone that will be late.

I find the offer pretty decent to be honest. As long as Anaheim can get him under contract at his number. All the east coast teams can use Pastrnak. Rangers for instance. And you certainly wouldn’t do that. Maybe trade him for Chychrun with Arizona at the deadline.

But if Pastrnak wants the bag. The west coast teams has money

 

[danpantz]

You start shedding players to fit pasta in if it comes to that.

We’re the only team that can give him 8 years. Can’t let him walk.

The offer is dogs***.

2nd round picks for a 26 year old Rocket winner (potentially 2x winner) who is top 5 in the league in goals that last 5 years is an insult of an offer. Brett Connolly got multiple 2nd round picks at the deadline

Unless you're giving up the Bedard Lottery Ticket, there's nothing on Anaheim that equals Pastrnak's value.

Okay fair enough, I’m just saying if you want him to walk. The western conference does have money available. Both Anaheim and Arizona. And both GMs aren’t sleeping on what’s available. It’s entirely up to Boston on the first chess move

 

[McGarnagle]

He's on pace for 66 goals when no Bruin in the 100 year history of the franchise other than Phil Esposito has gone over 55 (and only Neely and Nifty have even broken 50). This is remarkable.

Only worth 1 more 2nd than Brett Connolly though

Why is a team that's the best in the league and chasing a cup going to a trade their best offensive weapon for future?

 

[JlindiesANA]

Why is a team that's the best in the league and chasing a cup going to a trade their best offensive weapon for future?

Reason being? He can walk. That simple. Would it not be in the best interest of the organization to float what a player will possibly sign for before trade deadline? I mean if a player wants the bag. There’s teams like Anaheim and Phoenix and Sabres who will pay it.

We all aren’t against the cap, we got money also

Cool story, the price to get him is still a hell of a lot higher than a bunch of crap 2nd round picks if the Bruins were thinking of moving him. But it's never going to happen, dealing stars off a playoff team for tHe FuTuRe is something loser franchises do

You're also assuming Pastrnak would want to go play in front of no fans for a cellar dweller. Not to mention The Bruins can offer an extra year that other teams can't raising the overall contract value.

I think you are out to lunch a bit. Even if they weren’t going to sign him, they are the best team in the league or top three at least. They have a legit chance at the cup. They aren’t reading him for second rounders.

Are you talking about trading his rights after the season?

Because there’s a negative infinity % chance he gets moved in season. And quite frankly I think there’s a 5% chance he even sees the open market

If Anaheim or Phoenix lands Bedard he will come as well as the money. Boston is against the cap and can’t sign em on a 8x8. Anaheim and Phoenix As well as Sabres can offer him what he’s asking. Which is likely a 10 million dollar contract.

Like I said. You’re sleeping on the bottom dwellers who just need that one piece.

So can a lot of guys....but you don't see contenders selling all their UFA's every year. The Bruins have $26 million in cap space next year. They have the space to sign Pastrnak. Pasta has also said he plays to win....ARZ isn't close, ANH is still a few years away, as is Buffalo.

 

[JlindiesANA]

Why would he not? He knows his value. He knows what he can see on the open market. What if it’s a 10 million dollar contract. I have to disagree.

And yes 10 million dollars works with Buffalo, Coyotes, as well as Anaheim.

We need to hit cap floor anyway after these contracts from Anaheim perspective

 

[CDJ]

Because I think the Bruins know his value and will give him what he’s worth. They’ve always been pretty good about locking guys up.

And even if he does test the market nobody’s touching him until then. Idk if you’ve seen the standings or not lately…Boston is trying to win this year. They’re not about to trade the guy that drives the offense.

Boston can go 11 to 12 x 8 years. No other club can offer 8. There is money for next so I have no cluewhere your 8x 8 comes from. Its false.

That leads me to the conclusion of reading your stuff is youre just trying to ignite an argument.

Youre done. Thanks.

Edit: sorry Wally didn’t see he was done before posting

Exactly.

If pasta doesn't re-sign it's not because Boston couldn't pay him what he wanted.

And the whole point of having an NHL franchise is winning the cup. Not drafting first, amassing a bunch of mystery box prospects, etc.

With the way the Bruins are playing (so far) you keep Pastrnak even if he tells you he's testing FA.

If they were a middling 4-5-6 slot maybe I think about moving him for a help now+future package but we aren't there.

 

[whatsbruin]

Sweeney held on the Erickson , a UFA, for the playoff drive.
No way he is trading Pasta before the end of the season.

That would be like me offering a third round pick for Zegras. The value of seconds is highly diminished compared to firsts. I love hockey and i know that everything people say has merit, but you may want to go check some recent trades if you believe Pasta is worth three second round picks. Pastrnak is worth at the very least two first round picks and an A prospect (think 2 firsts and McTavish) and anything less is highway robbery for a former rocket winner, elite goal scorer, and a man on pace for 60 goals who just so happens to be worth the price of admission any night. Not many teams have that (Crosby, Ovi, Kaprizov, Kucherov)

Because there’s a negative infinity % chance he gets moved in season. And quite frankly I think there’s a 5% chance he even sees the open market

I agree with your first point about there being a -100000% chance of us dealing him. Not so sure I agree with you about him not wanting to test the market. ESPECIALLY if we end up winning a Cup this year.

I hope that doesn't happen (the testing the market part, not the winning the Cup part), but I think its a very real possibility. If he was concerned with contract stability or being a lifetime Bruin, he would have signed by now.

I think he's taking a page from the Aaron Judge playbook....and I don't blame him for doing so.
