1 year takes him to UFA I believe. I can't see MacT going for that.
Where did you hear that they were looking to move Boychuk?
J. Schultz wont hit UFA until he is 27. He's 24 now

It's been floating around, and Gregor talked with a Bruins guy who said he would be someone they would look at moving.
They have cap team now, still need to sign Krug and Smith, and Boychuk one year from being a UFA and a little older, they don't expect him to be a Bruins next year (as in After this coming season).
I'm certain the Oilers would still have interest, and would be in a position to take on Chris Kelly to help with that Cap.

I would be very interested in Boychuk, but not Kelly. Kelly isn't a top 9 C in the NHL and is signed for another year. Unless Kelly was included to lower the asking price for Boychuck, he shouldn't be someone the team is looking at.
I'd prefer to look at the leftover UFAs instead of adding Kelly @ 3M for another 2 seasons. Perhaps S Koivu, Loktionov or Handzus
This was my though, I like Kelly over those guys, because I think Saku retired, Handzus is a little slow and Loktionov is out until November or later (or is my understanding)
The Oilers might even be able to get the Bruins to retain a bit on Kelly to help facilitate.
J. Schultz wont hit UFA until he is 27. He's 24 now
is that true? then I guess a one year, at 4mil wouldn't be so bad.
The most likely D candidates for the Bs to move are Boychuk or Bartkowski.
Boychuk is a RHD but where does he fit?
You could always move a Schultz or Petry to the other side. However, I would think you move Petry if that's an issue.
Man now i'm getting scared... What if he doesn't sign? Who's gonna run our pp? Keith friggen Aulie??

You sign McBain, Salo, or Corvo and run him and Purcell as the right point shots on the PP.
I'd sign Corvo. Salos finished and McBain is garbage. But damn what is Schultz thinking?
The same thing he thought when he left Anaheim. He came here because his expectation was a boat load of cash after his ELC was up.
Hmmm. Get Boychuk, move Petry + for a 2C?
He's thinking "try to get paid because that's what my side feels like I'm worth", he's no different then a lot of guys, including Ryan Smyth who's "home town discounts" were few and far between.

In other words.. He's an idiot
Hmmm. Get Boychuk, move Petry + for a 2C?
Umm, not quite. I don't like it either, but I can't fault the kid, as I can't fault anyone in their situation.
He gets rocked a few times, gets some concussions, he's done. These guys are well paid, but don't play much passed 30 to 35, that's alot of life left.
Question is, who do we move to get Boychuk?
Gernat and 2nd for Boychuk and Kelly (25% Retention)
Gernat, Marco Roy and 2nd for Boychuk
They are in cap hell, the Oilers can more then pay a reasonable price.
Maybe he can't be faulted fully but the kid needs to sign! I mean how much money does he want? He can't really use other defensemen like Subban, etc. He's not at their level yet. He needs to sign for 3.5-4 and thats the maximum.
