That's what they'll do , business wise it makes sense, not sure it's the best long term plan though.
Post-Game Talk: GAME 32 - Bruins are in a Yule Fog - Wild 3 BRUINS 2
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
they will not stand pat.
they are first in the division with no legit top C.
they will trade for a center and probably D and forward. as they should.
they have assets. you dont need 2 goalies in the playoffs.
after lsst year all that matters is how you are playing in april. these games mean nothing.

You're right...there was some excitement in that game, and the game in Toronto that the B's won in OT also was entertaining
..but other than those 2 games, there haven't been too many fun games to watch since Thanksgiving

DeBrusk, Gryz, and Lysell for Lindholm and Hanafin. They are both UFA’s for Calgary and it allows Calgary to avoid a repeat of the empty hand departure of Gaudreau. Add a sweetener prospect if necessary.

Debrusk and Gryz are ufas too so there's no point at all from CGY.

If I am the Bs I do that trade in a minute ...but to your good point if I am Calgary I wait as long as I can
if I can't resign Lindholm and Hannifin I trade them closer to the deadline
one caveat- if DeBrusk made it clear he was willing to sign an extension with Calgary at a reasonable number and you toss in Carlo instead of Grzy you might have their attention
Those goalies haven't won a round with much better teams in front of them than this.

I thought of that, but was gambling that they might have a better shot at signing the guys we send them than the two guys likely leaving. At least they have a shot at signing them and Lysell is an add-on. Completely understandable if they don’t bite.

Bruins right now I’d give a solid B grade for a team
A 105 point playoff team and a 50/50 first round
Bruins have two needs and those two are close to perfect.
Both are FA and the Bruins will have money especially if they don’t resign DeBrusk
Hanifin I’m assuming is here for Christmas and probably is hearing the talk from family and friends about Bruins rumors
I’m sure his agent knows the Bruins interest if any
Lindholm not that easy - there are other teams who could use him as much or more as Bruins and have better assets to trade - and may extend and do sign & trade
