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

[The Storm]

Way off. Swayman is getting $7M minimum, likely more. Heinen is getting $2M minimum. Grizz $3M

"Grizz $3M"

What a waste of cap space

 

[Blowfish]

My birthday is tomorrow. What will the Bruins get me??

Concussionated Nash.

I wouldn’t sign him to it, but someone will. His underlying numbers are very impressive (up until this year).

marchand cross checked in the throat, we need someone to beat people to a pulp

Would it kill them to have one of these on a 4th line wing? Everyone plays “free-er” with a genuine tough guy sharing the bench.

Pretty sure they don't get paid for the playoffs. The salary cap exists under the guise of keeping things competitive but in reality it's to control spending by the owners.


I agree the LTIR loophole needs to be closed. The spirit if LTIR is to allow for a temporary replacement player while the injured one is out, but it's turned losing star players to injury into an advantage. Maybe they could do something like cap LTIR usage. If you use over $1.5 mil of LTIR that becomes cap penalty the next season. Shouldn't be a problem if you're just using your prospects in the minors to fill in.

Just do what they do for buried players. League minimum + a few hundred k to fill the spot

Anything that promotes player movement in a salary cap system overall is a good thing. Trades/potential trades are a big part of being a fan of a sport.

It's like people who get worked up over tanking. Or would like to see some ridiculous rule where bottom feeder teams "compete" for their draft pick position like the PWHL has gone to. So what those people are really saying is they want LESS trades. Because if it wasn't for this annual extravaganza of non-playoff teams unloading their UFAs for draft picks and prospects, there wouldn't be much trade activity to talk about in the National Hockey League. I daresay a message board like this losses half of it's traffic if trades were drastically reduced.

Ehh. It was inevitable. They were gonna take the opportunity. Kill’em.

80% of the posts in this board are about needing THUMP and GRIT so I disagree with your final premise.

No one had Bertuzzi or Orlov going to the Bruins last season. Let's see what Sweeney is cooking.

Bruins don’t have picks and can’t afford to trade prospects. We went in last year and lost this year see what going to happen hopefully after cleaning money we be on board

I agree but can’t giving up first rounders

can someone please tell brazeau that he's 6'5"

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

The Leafs know

 

[bbfan419]

Just kind of player the Bolts target a big guy that can really skate, similar to Nick Paul.

 

[TSBruins13]

Great game tonight - can we please trade for Olivier? Would have been nice to have a tough guy out there tonight so Charlie and Marchand don’t have to scrap

 

[TSBruins13]

Baseless speculation in my part, but if Emily Kaplan is saying Bruins are a team to watch tomorrow, and we didn’t scratch anyone tonight….could Linus be on the move? We have nothing else to offer and I’d be shocked if we’d play someone that was a centerpiece in a deal…

 

[duffy]

Olivier would be nice

TSN announcer just said Bertuzzi was fighting Jeremy Lauzon, does he know something?

Ya he needs to retire

Let's hope that Sweeney's patience pays off tomorrow.
