Along with Hamhuis.
Who they no like us?
I just think guys at that age have the money and they want to go somewhere they want to be to close out their careers.
Schlemko is probably an attainable UFA, but I think he'd end up watching from the pressbox as Stu fishes the puck out of his own net 3 or 4 times a night...

If BB were considering offersheeting a D wouldn't be more likely to go after Lindholm? Anaheim has less cap, more players to sign and a more restrictive internal budget.
I think they would go after the player who is more willing to sign the offer sheets...without that first step the rest is useless .... I'm not sure trouba is more or less likely to sign an offer sheet then Lindholm??

Yes, true of course but we have no idea who that would be. Potentially it is any player.

Maybe they bought into the rumors that the Jets can't afford Trouba. Or at least that there's serious conflict between the Jets and Trouba's contract demands.
Also, there's very little rhyme nor reason as to which players Boston values.
I don't view Boston as a well run club.

I think most offer sheets get signed...especially if the negotiating process is taking a long time. I would have to think that any deal that a player found favourable they would probably sign.

So if Boston and Winnipeg were to circumvent an offer sheet by swinging a deal today, what would that look like?
I imagine Zboril coming back, but what else? a 1st rounder (or two) and roster player?
(though if not tempted by Taylor Hall, not sure how the Jets could be tempted by anything Boston has to offer)

Why would the jets do Boston any favours (which the above certainly would be)
If they were serious about the offer sheet business(which we would have to assume they were to be talking. About circumventing it) why do the jets demand anything less then four first round picks if it also means the bruins being able to sign trouba to a lower cap hit?
If anything I'd want MORE the. The four firsts since I'm doing the bruins a favour by eliminating the necessity of overpaying and shaving 1 mil per season off of troubas contract.
So yah... start with two firsts, your best prospect, AND a good young player.
Don't like it? Pay the kid 7 mil a season and hand over the picks buddy.

Yup we are in the driver's seat here. If Boston is desperate enough to make an offer sheet than the minimum return we can get is 4 firsts. So that is the minimum price Chevy should entertain if the Bruins are looking to trade for him. I would also demand more than the 4 firsts and if Boston doesn't like it tell them to submit the offer sheet.

4 firsts + something or equivelent
The something is payment for them not having to pay Trouba 7 x $7M

Agreed. Although I don't remember his name, there was a reporter/columnist I believe from Montreal on the warm up show yesterday that said some things I haven't heard anyone say out-loud. That Subban had been having numerous instances of missing curfew, being late for meetings, etc.
Was an interesting interview.

No thanks. Rather have the 4 1sts and the Jets can use them as their own currency to get better players.
Krug is one dimensional and not a guy I'd want to depend on for the second pair. Do not want at all.
Marchand has 1 year to UFA (which Lawless couldn't be bothered to check).

4 firsts is superstar payment. There's no way any team, even the Bruins, are dumb enough to do that.
As far as I can tell, 4 first round picks has never been part of a single transaction in NHL history.
The closest is 3, and that was part of the Gretzky trade.

Yea it was very interesting interview He said Subban was a problem and the organization was covering it up. He said he was loved by the fans but things were very different in the locker room and off the record the players told him it was a huge issue. Sounds like things were never right after a patches was made the captain.

The Vanek and Weber offersheets if they were not matched would have done it. So it almost happenend twice.
My reasoning is that Krug is a large step up from any of our other internal left D options, and that 2020 first is realistically not worth much (it's true value) as a trade piece for a few years.

Subban being all about himself and not caring about team or rules? Consider me shocked JUST SHOCKED.

On a moderating note about this.
If you have been vetted by the admin staff here you can make "insider" statements on the info you know about (for example garretts stuff or when i talk about a very select number of players i know about in guys like hall phaneuf toews).
Generalized statements like i think so and so was not well liked or has character issues because of these reasons ive seen in media or on ice or heard about from media thats fine as well (like when i talk about thinking subban or kadri have character issues/not leaders). Thats just my opinion of their character and im entitled to that.
If you start saying player a has a drug problem, or player b slept with players c's wife or something then that falls under libel if you cannot support that with sources. If you start claiming player d told you player e is a cancer, or i know such and such about player f due to my contacts thats outlandish claims of insider info unless you are vetted by admin staff.
Hope that clears this up.
