Post-Game Talk: NHL TRADE DEADLINE - MARCH 8 - HF Bruins Discord backup is open

[TCB]

Seems quiet so far today, not much out there.
Calm before the storm ?

 

[smithformeragent]

Quite the opposite

Ok, so you're good with him being the Bruins' "rental" if it comes down to it?

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

11:30am practice today, right?

Will be interesting to see who is/is not skating.

Deadline Day has become Deadline Week, even Deadline Month.

Many teams have made their moves.

What's left at this point? And what do the Bruins have of value?

 

[Bridges31]

If they were to move DeBrusk for a 2nd and do nothing else today, is it a success?

I’d say yes if they’re absolutely sure they won’t re-sign him. For the record I don’t want him extended and I don’t want them to lose him for nothing.

That would be very disappointing, and make the team substantially worse

 

[TCB]

Didn't even know he was still around.lol

 

[Oates2Neely]

On paper, it's pretty clear that the top 2 teams in each division are the heavyweights in the East: Panthers, Bruins, Rangers, Canes

But if history has taught us anything, it wouldn't be a surprise if one, maybe two of those four go down in Round 1.

Canes are gearing up for a run.

You've got teams like the Flyers and Red Wings who are sort of playing with house money.

The Islanders are coming on strong and will likely pass Tampa/Philadelphia.

This puts the Bruins in a weird spot. This was supposed to be a transition year where we'd have been content with 3rd in the division or a WC spot, and yet here they find themselves, right in the thick of it with the other contenders.

Say it's Boston & Florida in Round 2, is there anything that Boston can do today that moves the needle in that match-up?

Getting a physical dman who can handle Tkachuk & Bennet out front when they’re in Swayman/ Ullmarks crease wreaking havoc. How would Kevin Miller handle those 2

I think you're leaving out everything else that could happen. DeBrusk for a 2nd and nothing else done? Miserable failure. DeBrusk as an "own rental" and other moves made to help? Potential success.

Where was Sheppy on this move?

Say it's DeBrusk out and bottom pairing stay at home defenseman in...

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Yes, trading him for someone who might help in 2027 or 2028 is basically sending up the white flag and telling the team you are quitting on the season. After they dominated Toronto twice this week. Very much the wrong message to send

 

[Cronuss]

I have a suspicion they are keeping Ulmark, and if they do, I think they should break the tradition of running 1 goalie in the playoffs, and run them in tandem the entire run.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

It's games like last night where I think they should make a few moves. I know I said stand pat, do nothing other than unload, but when you see the effort and overall game they played last night, now I want them to add a few pieces, lol.

that's the big tease though. You know they can play ornery. They just rarely do. Now maybe they are saving it for the play-offs, but I loved what I saw.

 

[Bridges31]

I’d rather they get rid of their ufa players, maybe add some depth, and look toward the future rather than a long shot playoff run.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Say it's DeBrusk out and bottom pairing stay at home defenseman in...

I think that proposal makes the team weaker.

So I'd give it an F

What's the point of bringing in a bottom pairing defenseman at that point? I don't get it . Are we gonna put our hopes on lysel coming up and saving the season? Promote Brazeau to a top 6 role????

No doubt but the rumor mill has disappeared as well. there's like nothing out-there. lol

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

Malcolm Subban is still alive??!!!

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Didn't even know he was still around.lol

Yeah Malcom has been playing for the Blues AHL affiliate team Springfield Thunderbirds this season. That is until today!.

Someone who can help secure a 2-1 lead late in games.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I don't mind sitting it out. But I won't be disappointed if they make a good deal.

Should be the thread title
