Oh man, the value of that extra 3rd rounder definitely changes our offer. You can buy one whole Zac Rinaldo with a 3rd rounder.Probably been discussed before but I read on The Fourth Period that Buchnevich and Mantha might be in play.....
Red Wings getting calls about Mantha — The Fourth Period
Could the Rangers trade Buchnevich? — The Fourth Period
Those are the type of players that make sense to overpay for. Not overpay by a huge margin, but throw in that extra 3rd rounder or 2nd tier prospect.
They trade for Ekholm and all would come down to Vaakanainen- I would be on himYup, agreed with Dan here. Ekholm isn’t just a defenseman. The Bruins have plenty of good, quality defensemen, but they aren’t Ekholm.
How the cap works with a player LTIR is that the team can’t bank cap space by sending players to the taxi squad or minors. And since they are currently sitting over the cap space they can’t add a player without moving more or equal amount of cap hit as the player they are acquiring. An Example would be to get Hall who has an 8 mill cap hit they would have to trade Pageau(5 mill) and Komarov(3 mill). And they wouldn’t be able to add another player to there roster because they are over the cap.Anders Lee LTIR? What does he make?
Thank god
Some people have a short memory, but I sure don't.

The stats may say otherwise but my eyes tell me they need to add a stable dman soon. It feels to me like the dam is about to break. Add Ekholm, get Carlo Miller Lauzon back and that makes the team a lot stronger. Less time in d-zone = more time in o-zoneEkholm makes offense players A LOT better
absolutely.... that's why Coyle became the focus .Isn't he the same guy who nixed a trade to Boston from Minni?
Yes but that management group always finds a way out. Not to mention they draft well and are great at signing young undrafted playersTampa is about to be a train wreck. They are already over 3 million over the cap next year. Then you look at the fact that they only have 15 players signed and they are in some massive trouble. They will need to trade players which will hurt them. Then the following year they have 12 mill in cap space but that's not including Point who will be a RFA.
If you go back and look at what it cost for Vegas to not pick a player, it was huge. A first at least .They trade for Ekholm and all would come down to Vaakanainen- I would be on him
they then can protect LHD Ekholm and expose Grzelcyk Clifton Lauzon Zboril knowing they atleast get 3 back - and likely are able to work out deal to keep Grzelcyk if Seattle wanted him
no brainer
example - Vaakanainen Steen first I take if Preds
True but the way this team drafts will they even miss it?If you go back and look at what it cost for Vegas to not pick a player, it was huge. A first at least .
Yea. I would try Achan and see if he works. Then loosing a guy like Grizz might not hurt so much.True but the way this team drafts will they even miss it?
What happens if Vladar plays a few more games and is lights out. Does Seattle show interest?
Yea but even if Boston put in a claim they wouldn’t have gotten him since Vancouver has a worst record.Vesey would have helped and he was basically free. Darn.
that's what makes the taxi squad rule handy in this caseCan't, Boston can protect one goaltender and it will be Vladar. Tuukka & Halak will be a UFA's.
Boston HAS to expose one eligible goalie and that's why they picked up Booth.

OK, I had a little fun at Jimmy ThinSkins last night, but now I'm pissed off. I cleared my calendar earlier this morning and it is now 12:44 PM EST. Nothing. Crickets. A lonely western town with tumbleweed rolling in the wind.....Sorry, so late but working on a #NHLBruins
trade scoop I'll hopefully write about tomorrow for
