Value of: Just to play Devils advocate Value of Bergeron at the deadline

[McJedi]

Really you wouldn't want him on the Avs? The last time the Avs acquired a Bruins Legend it worked out

He’s already won something in Boston. Unlike Bourque.

Kadri already doing well as the 2C anyway.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

People are crazy if they think there is zero chance Bergeron leaves Boston, tenured players leave all the time. I don't think Boston even considers trading him though

 

[Price is Wright]

He's still a point per game player at 36. We're talking a premium haul for him. Not only that but he's going to control his destiny so there's going to be a limited amount of teams that can get him. He's got a three team trade list. So that's three teams bidding against each other for him.

If all three are in the playoff hunt and think he puts them over the top, and can fit the cap hit, you're looking at a haul similar to when Keith Tkachuk went to the Blues. A top six winger under 23 that can score 20+ goals, top six centre under 25 that can score 20 goals, an A prospect just drafted in the first round, and a 1st round pick.

Boston should be competing for the 1st WC spot against the rest of Metro, I have a hard time seeing them pass Florida, Toronto, or Tampa.

In terms of asset management it makes sense to rebuild now, but that would be a slap in the face to Bergeron and Marchand. Chances are they'll keep aiming for the cup for as long as Bergeron is a #1C.

As long as the Bruins have 4 elite players in Marchand, Bergeron, Pastrnak and McAvoy there is no smarter asset management than to go for it.

I don't factor in games that haven't been played because they haven't been played

So if Tampa only played like 10 games this year and they were out of the playoffs you’d consider them struggling and make Kucherov for ??? Threads ?

 

[AvroArrow]

I don't think Bergeron ever wears another NHL teams jersey. The guy will probably be a lifetime Bruin. Then again they did let Chara walk, but he was washed up at that point. If somehow Bergeron is moved, he's getting a 1st + Elite prospect at the very least. He's still a very good player and one of the best defensively. For a legitimate playoff contender, Bergeron has the talent to take them over the hump. IMO Bergy is still a legitimate 1C, those kind of guys don't come cheap regardless of how old he is.

There would be no shortage of suitors.

The return for Boston would be massive.

Bergeron is everything you want in a player that has the ability to impact all three zones.

If that was the direction the Bruins were going, they should move Marchand as well at which point the rebuild would be short

wrong....the return would not be massive....he is 36 years old

Doesn't matter when you bring to the table wjat he does.

An all situations player.

if you search the list of active players 37 or older you will see there uis not much productivity there, and forwards do not age as well as defensemen

Boston has played 17 games

Would it be nice to be able to sign him to an extension sure.

But you are not acquiring Bergeron at the 21-22 deadline with anything but this years playoffs in mind.

With that said, if Boston ever put him on the market, no less than 16 teams would all be interested.

That's how valuable a player he is.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Boston has played 17 games

But you said all the matters is games already played, so why does it matter if they played 10 or 17? If Tampa was 6-2-2 but due to other teams playing way more games, would you say they were struggling and “not a playoff team”?

Maybe now you’ll see the stupidity in not paying attention to games played at this point in the season

That is irrelevant when talking about this current season only. He’s a PPG all-around #1C… that’s a massive return

Because you gave an unrealistic example where Tampa would only have played 10 games by the end of November that would never happen even if Covid decimated them that would never happen.

The NYI prove that, Covid has destroyed them and they are only now being shut down and even then only for what? 3 or 4 days?

The example you provided would never happen.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

On pace for over 100 points. They aren't missing the playoffs.

That’s not what you said. You said games played doesn’t matter only their current point totals. So why does games played not matter anymore? What’s your cut off where you suddenly stop caring about games played?
I can guarantee if the Leafs were behind in games played that you’d only be talking about p%

 

[CanadienShark]

Wrong thread -_-

But yeah give me Bergeron for Eklund + 1st + something

Uh what? That's insane. Sharks are in no position to move futures for Bergeron. And honestly at his age, even if we were contenders, Eklund is too good of a prospect for me to give up.

Doesn't matter how other 37 or older year old players are performing, there is plenty of production there from Bergeron.

This has to be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on HF. I have to take an advil and go to bed after reading this because my head hurts

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Someone doesn't look at games played

Don't think Bruins will make it in the top 3 in the Atlantic that means wild card spot and right now there is like 7 teams for 2 spots
