BurgerKing Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Boston needs to clear caproom to sign some important free agents, gotta think Benning has the inside edge on getting some useful pieces. The obvious ones that stand out are Eriksson and Kelly. Eriksson is unlikely, he was a key peice in the return for Seguin, gotta get some production back so it doesn't look like you got robbed. Kelly is doable, Soderberg filled in nicely, only catch is of course the NTC, he has played in the east his whole career. The other possiblity is Krug, Aaron Ward was saying on Team 1040 this morning he is by no means untouchable, that would of course be part of a bigger deal. http://www.capgeek.com/bruins/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Torey Krug is like bennings prize procession from his days in boston. I really hope we can somehow get him, he's an absolute juggernaut when it comes to offence. I don't know how he would adjust to the more physical pacific division tho.

I would love that but he is one of their players at a low cap hit. No way he gets moved. I wouldn't be opposed to David Krejci if we can get him to resign here. Him or Loui Eriksson who has shown instant chemistry with the twins and can snipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With us not qualifying Schroeder seems pretty clear to me we are moving away from under sized players. Krug is a great offensive producer but he belongs in the east. With his size he would really have a hard time against the Kings, Ducks and Sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2inthecup Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Well Marc Savards $4mil will be on LTIR, so they have about $6million in cap with 18 players signed. They will still need some movement to sign there RFAs, the only one they let walk is Caron so Krug, Smith, Bartkowski, Frolek....these guys will probably come out to 7-9 million depending on raises. I would want Krug or Smith, but for the rest we don't really need...we have enough bottom 6 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks155 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Why haven't they bought any1 out yet? Savard is never playing again and Kelly has a NTC w/ a horrible cap hit. They get rid of those 2, trade Eriksson, and they may be able to keep Jarome and everybody else they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Stache Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think this is a great option for the Canucks to trade for Eriksson. He didn't have a great year for Boston and maybe we could unload someone like Higgins + for him. Like it has been said he has had good chemistry with the twins before.

They get rid of those 2, trade Eriksson, and they may be able to keep Jarome and everybody else they have. Believe Savard is on LTIR so he's a wash when it comes to cap hit and couldn't be bought out because of his LTIR status...you would think that Kelly would be a comp buy out candidate, but it seems like they're reluctant to exercise this. All this is good, since it creates opportunities for teams like the Canucks. I find it hard to believe Torey Krug is in play, given his age and production to date...I would make the following pitch to Boston if I were JB: Hansen (retain 50% of cap hit for 2014-2015), Brendan Gaunce and Jakob Markstrom -- for -- Loui Eriksson, Johnny Boychuk, and Alex Khokhlachev. This would be purely a trade driven by economics of the cap...Bruins drop $7.6M in salary and take on $2.45M, giving them net clearance of >$5M. Only "hockey" element to the trade would be that we'd give up Gaunce (an all-around prospect, slotted behind Bo Horvat who plays a similiar style on the Canucks' depth chart) for Khokhlachev (a prospect with high offensive ceiling, and apparently a Benning favorite, slotted behind Ryan Spooner who plays a similar style on the Bruins' depth chart).
