Something maybe to keep an eye on...4 of the 6 dman on the Coyotes are UFA
Probably can’t get both. I think they will want 1 first rounder at least for each of them. Plus a top end prospect and maybe even a young rfa roster player. Both of them are worth this return. I do not think they can get them both.A trade with Nashville for Ekholm and Forsberg just makes so much sense. Fills both of our biggest needs.
What would we have to give up for that?
If your trading a number one or Jake hopefully it’s not for a rental
Yeah, he'll flip him to the Rags and then he'll become a Bruin killer.........The way Yzerman works, he will probably trade us Staal for Kuraly and a pick, then flip Kuraly for another pick.
something around, doesn't imply straight upDo you really think Yzerman is stupid enough to make that deal?
Not trading a youngster for a rental
Is it? The team is as close to missing the playoffs as it is to being number 1 in the division for perspective. They are a solid squad, but an organization that needs to stop throwing away pieces for losing campaigns. Say no rentals or short term pieces, especially for 1st round picks or decent assets.Why. It's winning time.
What does it imply then?something around doesn't imply straight up
What does it imply then?
Actually they are closer to first place then fourth place right now. What people seem to forget is that the point percentage is what should be looked at right now rather than points. Right now only NJ has played less games than the Bruins and Philly is the only team that has played the same amount. Both teams above them have played 2-3 games more than them.Is it?

I also guarantee every team is asking about Frederic. Kid has made a name for himself already. Would not be surprised if the Forsberg conversation starts with Frederic and then a nice +. I do it but that’s the only player on the block I would do it for.
This.You don’t trade your teams superstar player for Frederic+.
Frederic would be the + on a trade like that.
Trent looks like an awesome bottom6 guy, but an awesome bottom6 guy.
Forsberg is an awesome 1st line talent mid prime.
Would not trade Lauko, but Hall and Steen I would in the right deals.Lauko for sure. I think every team in the league would want him.
To a lesser degree, Hall and Steen. But most NHL gms know those players have really developed.
Agree I really like what Frederic has done so far this year, but for Forsberg I would trade him.I also guarantee every team is asking about Frederic. Kid has made a name for himself already.

If I had t choose between the two I would get Forsberg and then get a D that requires less to give up.Probably can’t get both. I think they will want 1 first rounder at least for each of them. Plus a top end prospect and maybe even a young rfa roster player. Both of them are worth this return. I do not think they can get them both.
That would be horrible, DeBrusk is a lot better than Virtanen + 2ndit implies something around... so let’s say there is a deal centered around Debrusk and Virtanen. It just means they’re going to be the primary pieces, it could be Virtanen and a 2nd for Debrusk and a 4th
This post isn't about getting back to the good ole days, trust me.
Krejci hasn't produced like the Krejci of old since 3 people left........Horton, Iginla, Lucic
I know Lucic isn't the guy who potted 25-30 goals for us year after year..........but in a limited role in Calgary this year, he has more goals than every Bruins player not named Bergy, Marshy, Pasta, Ritchie
Who says no to this deal:
Debrusk+(Wagner+Moore) 4.10 million
Hanifin+Lucic(20% retained)4.2 million

Kase

Halak
That's a very deep roster, youth, experience, speed, size, toughness
Vakkanainen for Palmeiri.......I dont think so. Not a freeking chance. Kase is damaged goods. He has no value.This post isn't about getting back to the good ole days, trust me.
