Boston Bruins IX-Rumors, Trade Proposals, Speculation, etc.. (rumors must have recognized source/link)

[TobanWest]

Now them words sound like a fight.

Your sarcastic words not mine....
"At least we have comfort knowing Sweeney will wait to the last minute and add a couple old plugs. Good thing we don't have a proactive GM."

I responded with sarcasm to your sarcasm and commented about the bruin GM being cautious / patient. Was not looking for a fight.

Sorry didn't read into your sarcasm. Im just at my wits end with Sweeney not getting a second line stud. He's had years and Gail's over and over. I'm over him.

I get it...trust me I'm frustrated with him as well. He's made some good moves, built strong D core, but horrible at identifying skilled forwards.

We are fortunate Pasta, Bergeron, Marchand were pre-Don. There's a draft year that irks us all, including Don.

It would be a different situation if he landed a big fish or Nash worked out.

 

[Oates2Neely]

He usually plays wing. And honestly if he isn’t scoring he’s a non-factor. Still has the skill, but I am not impressed with anything I’ve seen from him this season.

Well it’s a good thing he scores a crap ton. 2018 season he scored 102 points. 2019 season 85 points. Last season 53 points in 69 games, this season 25 points in 30 games (which would put him 3rd on the Bruins in scoring, tied with Bergeron).

It would all hinge on Philly retaining. I wouldn’t want him at his current cap.

Ritchie Krejci Giroux

Stall is 36.5 years old, they don't need to forgo the future for a year or 2 of a heavily declining player.

The average age of retirement is between 28 and 30 in the NHL of what I could find.

 

[VanIsle]

I know, I know, I see the source but the 2nd one below was correct.

HockeyBuzz.com - Eklund - Palmieri going to BOS? Staal heading to Habs? Fri's Buzz


Chatter out there is Boston and NJ talking. Palmieri and Vatanen with DeBrusk and a pick coming back. 50% retention on Palmieri.

Also, numerous reports are indicating that Buffalo is beginning their teardown and that Eric Staal is heading to Montreal......

 

[Sheppy]

Hockeybuzz is garbage.

 

[VanIsle]

Hockeybuzz is garbage.

We all know that, but the bottom one was right with Stall and the Bruins have been talking about Palmieri for years it seems now.

Maybe ol Ek finally got something right.

He's probably right that they're interested in Palmieri but he definitely made up the return lol. I would be shocked if they did that trade.

 

[Montecristo]

Who cares palmieri was the answer 3 years ago. Today he might as well be named lee stempniak. Doesnt exactly put boston over the top. Just another guy to throw out there and hope something clicks

DeBrusk & a pick? No. Maybe Bjork & a pick.

Isn't that the Bruins way though, that is why I think it is going to happen.

Bruins never make a big splash, always just someone ok to fill the void until the next year.

Rinse repeat.

 

[BostonBob]

Claude Giroux is listed as a C-LW-RW. Anyone know how often he plays wing and how he looks there?

He usually plays wing.

He takes a lot of faceoffs - he's won 274 this season which ties him for 15th best in the NHL.

 

[wintersej]

DeBrusk & a pick? No. Maybe Bjork & a pick.

Yeah I'm ok with a Wheeler/Peverley move with DeBrusk, fine.

But this isn't that.

 

[mar2kbos]

Waiting for them to do something small or nothing at all and claim we like our team, Kase could be back and it’s like getting a deadline player.

 

[Deal Law]

Yeah I'm ok with a Wheeler/Peverley move with DeBrusk, fine.

But this isn't that.

There's no way it happens. DeBrusk may be a black hole, but for someone they are "afraid to trade and watch him realize his potential" he's not going out for two rentals. That type of move reeks of desperation.

 

[Bodit9]

Yeah I'm ok with a Wheeler/Peverley move with DeBrusk, fine.

But this isn't that.

Yeah I'd prefer to trade JDB. Calgary is kind of a dumpster fire. I wonder if a JDB/Gaudreau trade framework could work.

This is exactly where I am at.

 

[Sheppy]

Kase is cooked. If he comes back, he will be out again almost instantly. If a simple puck can wobble you and scramble you, one more hit and his career will be over.

I don’t want staal but they got him for a 3rd and a 5th not exactly mortgaging the future.

 

[DominicT]

No he wasn't right. Read it again.

Also, numerous reports are indicating that Buffalo is beginning their teardown and that Eric Staal is heading to Montreal......

He's just quoting the many, many reports that had it correct.

However, he is half right on Palmieri.

 

[Greek_physique]

I know it'll never happen right now...but if we could somehow acquire a legit 1c ...I don't think wed need another winger.

Pasta goes there and Bergie and Marchand become 2nd line....

Alight now to try that in nhl2021 lol

Huh?

Puck? It was a glove and stick to the face.

Welcome back Dom. Hope all is well for you and your family. You were missed by me and many others.

Half right as in Palmieri coming to Boston but not with Vatanen and certainly not for DeBrusk and a pick?
