Confirmed with Link: Frederic & Max Jones traded to Oilers for 2nd , 4th and Max Wanner

[Alicat]

Unless there’s a deal that can’t be refused and we are good with Mike Callahan on the tank squad.

Exactly and I don't like tanking.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

If Marchand stays I’m absolutely happy to have him.

If he decides to go I will root for him to win another cup wherever it is he goes. You will get a great return in the process

Brad has earned it either way.

There’s only one Bruins that would’ve devastated me if he went and played elsewhere of this previous “era” and that is Bergeron.

Bingo!

 

[Dr Hook]

Exactly and I don't like tanking.

I don’t like it either but it’s happening before our eyes and I don’t think it’s by design.

 

[DKH]

You can't deal Carlo for picks and you have to have a plan to get a RHD.... Unless you deal him for picks and wrest Dobson say from the Isles.

Like trading your car for another car that ‘MAY’ show up in three or four years

The alternative is public transportation, uber, biking, (can you still hitchhike or is that legal - and really I can’t believe when I was 7th or 8th grade my parents told me if I couldn’t get a ride home from little league hitch hike. Wtf mom )

you trade Carlo you need a replacement within (they don't have ) so would need coming back

Carlo better off here to me

Yea this is definitely not on purpose

 

[bobbyorr04]

Good return Donny ..now keep selling

..hopefully Coyle next to go

 

[Sheppy]

If they can move Coyle without retaining I'd be thrilled. I don't even care what they get back.

right now next years D side 100 feet of Ice

Lindholm- McAvoy
Zaderov- Carlo
Lohrei - Peeke

Swayman
Korpi

That ain’t going to get you 1 overall

Agreed. I'm okay with Carlo going but I have Coyle at the top of my trade list.

But honestly I don't think anyone is untouchable but some would require huge returns and overpayment that simply won't happen.

Get some picks Donny, free some cap, this season ain't ending in a cup

 

[LouJersey]

Thomas took a year off at 38 years old. Chara was 43 and didn't want to take a lesser role.

Surely Marchand's situation, who is still pretty easily our 2nd best forward, isn't really comparable to those two.

"Brad we have a possible deal...a top 3 team center prospect and a 1. Will you go????"..... "No, I want to retire here."....Ok good, well deserved, we will worry about that extension in July

 

[Absurdity]

I was expecting a conditional 3rd or 4th that became a 2nd or 3rd.

Sweeney was able to get a 2nd that will be better than Edmonton's, a 4th for Max Jones of all players, and a defensive prospect that is RD depth in Providence that could become a bottom-pairing defenseman. Good deal!

 

[EverettMike]

Hence why I said technically. He played his last game for the Islanders and was a UFA. He announced his retirement and then signed the one day contract with the Bruins. Technically he retired a Bruin.

.......Alison.

 

[Alicat]

.......Alison.

Michael.....

Is now the appropriate time to say I was right about Ryan Spooner

 

[nORRis8]

He had played 44 games.
Was suspended, as a teenager with 3 others, for 17 games.

Non criminal breakage of team rules.

My best guess, teenagers doing stupid teenage shit.

Who is Max Wanner? New Bruins prospect has NHL upside, suspension history

The former seventh-round pick the Bruins got in the Trent Frederic deal could be more than a throw-in.

Not entirely sure but the drift I got was some hazing crap that some morons feel impelled to do and generally go too far

 

[Over the volcano]

If Carlo moves it will be at the draft. We are already down 2 D so I don't see DS moving him now.

Carlos averaging a full minute less per game this year than his career average. Would have thought he'd be getting more minutes if anything

 

[shelbysdad]

right now next years D side 100 feet of Ice

Lindholm- McAvoy
Zaderov- Carlo

That D looks decent, decent enough I think Carlo could be moved. Replace him with a D that can generate some offense which we are lacking

 

[KillerMillerTime]

RIP to the Minimum Jones meme

Who cares, we got the Max for the Minimum baby!!!!

 

[Alicat]

Carlos averaging a full minute less per game this year than his career average. Would have thought he'd be getting more minutes if anything

I'll be curious to see what his minutes average out to be now with Lindholm out for the year and McAvoy also likely, tho not officially, done for the year.

 

[Fingertools]

One way contracts are meaningless except for Jacobs out of pocket. Not a cap concern as long in minors and under cba amount. 1.15 M

I know, but I like the extra roster spot

 

[Sheppy]

I wouldn't have nearly as big of a problem with Carlo if he had any idea of what to do with a hockey stick in his hands.

He has a horrible shot.
He can't carry a puck.
He has next to zero offensive instincts.

He's positionally sound, no doubt, but jesus.

 

[Kegs]

2nd and fourth plus the oilers 4th best
Prospect? Not too bad. Second round picks are nice and sometimes turn into star players.

It won’t this year either probably, but since the two best guys in that list are out indefinitely they are in trouble. A top ten pick this year would be nice

Yes, you usually get 2-3 very good players , and a few other playable players out of the 30 second round picks.

I have no problem with the trade, they had clearly made the decision that they were not wiling to go long term with Frederic.

All draft picks are lottery tickets. The first rounders are those crazy expensive 20 dollar scratchers. The socond rounder is more you 5 dollar scratcher, and the later round guys are the dollar scratchers.

This is my main issue. Love his defensive game, love his personality and teammates seem to like him a lot but so many other dmen in the league can give you defense first while also having a great outlet pass, shot or mean streak. Carlo just has no other dimension to his game but defense and I'm not sure how well that compares to the modern nhl middle pair dman on a good team. I will be happy if we get a good return but also won't be upset if he's on the team next year for a redo.

 

[22Brad Park]

Frederic will fit in nicely with the rest of the Oilers bottom 6 given they may as well not exist.

Good move for Oilers as they are trying to trade Kane to make more cap room.He should be back b4 playoffs thus eating that 5 million they have.
