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

[Tbaybruin]

I’ve been a hide Frederic fan but no one in the world thought he would show this much improvement in his skating and offensive play.

 

[veganbruin]

Still think we should sell

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Can't believe I am saying this, but I think you are too pessimistic.

Sabre game going on now = all we need to know. If they cannot beat the Sabres how the heck are they beating the Caps or Isles in the playoffs.

Build a younger faster core, get some scorers. Too many grinders. Explore trading some of the older core, this window is closing.

 

[BB88]

To make a run this team needs serious help.

A top line talent no 3rd liners hoping them to turn into 2nd liners

 

[bolt thrower]

Taylor Hall is really bad, he lost every board battle today. What a bum this guy is turning into. Anything than a 3rd would be an overpayment.

He's an 8m/yr 2021 Jake DeBrusk.

 

[BBBruins]

Just 1 new player is not enough. We need AT LEAST 2 f's. That scoring is so painful - it’s been years. It’s already starting to get frustrating especially since it’s been that same for a long time. We need to be able to do more 5v5 goals. (Yes that is not a new news)

 

[Oates2Neely]

I've never minded the Kessel diet stuff, it's more funny that anything because in spite of it all the guy is a proven offesnive weapon in the NHL even now later in his career. I would damn sure take him back on the Bruins over what we are currently rolling out there as "scoring" options below the top line.

This. Bruins lack a shooter. Kessel is a shooter. He’s familiar with Krejci. I’m make the move if Yotes retain

But does he play with the sort of effort the Bruins guys want in the room? Dunno. Maybe.

 

[McGarnagle]

I would be ecstatic if Kessel came back

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

He's also a -116 in his 15 year career.

Can not argue that.

But he's +21 in the playoffs.

And led a team that had Crosby and Malkin in scoring during a Stanley Cup run.

If we are talking old Krejci wingers, man, it would be nice to get Blake Wheeler back. (Don't ever see that happening, but nice to dream)

You really think he is trying very hard out there? They lost 17 straight.

What about

To Coyotes: Studnicka, Vaaka, Wagner, Kase (salary match purposes)
To Bruins: Kessel and fillers

Seems like a downward trend.

 

[rocketdan9]

He should. Because he is losing FA money with every loss

 

[Blowfish]

Full circle story...so I would be cool with that.

I met him briefly in Moncton when the bruins would do the travel preseason schedule out east. Humble shy dude. Bet that hasn't changed much.

I can't imagine he lost that wrist shot speed still there?

Seems like a downward trend.

And that 17-18 was a fluke more than the norm.

 

[The don godfather]

Add brassard and ryan if prices are stupid. Get hall for debrusk and sign him 3 year extension if possible.

At this point, Taylor Hall is a Rangers move.

 

[DominicT]

I want some of whatever it is you smoke every day

 

[Oates2Neely]

GP: 24 G: 10 A: 12 PTS: 22
GP: 25 G: 8 A: 15 PTS: 23

These are Kessel’s numbers during the Penguins Cup runs. I’d say the Bruins could use that.

 

[Oates2Neely]

What about

To Coyotes: Studnicka, Vaaka, Wagner, Kase (salary match purposes)
To Bruins: Kessel and fillers

Are you serious? I was thinking more like Kase + a 2nd/ 3rd for Kessel (with Arizona retaining)

 

[bolt thrower]

Well I hope he is, if he's not I want him as distant as possible from anything Bruins. The guy has a loser mentality and now even looks like a loser on the ice.

 

[rocketdan9]

Are you serious? I was thinking more like Kase + a 2nd/ 3rd

I rather keep the picks

I dont see a high ceiling for Stud nor Vaaka

Bottom 6 type players. Let Coyotes figure it out

Kessel on the other hand would add a legit scoring threat from the right side other than Pasta

Lineup could look like

Marchand Bergeron Pasta
Debrusk Krejci Kessel
Ritchie Coyle Smith
Bjork Kuraly Kuhlman /Frederic/Senyshyn
