  1. Torn on this trade. Think the return is ok but not necessarily the positions we really need to address. Boeser or Schenn need to return a top 4D preferably a righty to really help this team
  2. You can tell that Kuz just loves the game! Glad we resigned him. Hoping we trade Bo now though. We need to get some younger kids and build towards our contender years
  3. Suddenly Benning doesn’t seem so bad

      Benning was a terrible GM but at least appeared to be a decent person.  Aquilini just is a bad seed.  Benning took the hits for him and now JR is doing the same.  

  4. I like Kuzmenko’s attitude so I’d rather keep him. You’d need to move one of Miller or Boeser though. Otherwise just doesn’t seem an option. Personal preference I’d keep Boeser for now and trade Horvat, Miller and Schenn.
  5. Its a no brainer to trade him. If we resign him next summer again then great but we need to get the assets while we can.
  6. Was reading a transcript based off a Boston podcast that talked about how Bruins would need to move some cap to make a Horvat trade and sign work. The sports guys were proposing Carlo be the guy that moved. They’re also rumoured to be interested in Schenn. Therefore, Horvat Schenn 3rd for Carlo Lysell 1st Thoughts?
  7. Tons of guys hit higher potentials once traded. Plus he’s more in the power forward mild so better chance he develops later. but as I said he’s not the main piece of this trade but adds allows cap compliance and some potential value
  8. Puljujarvi balances the cap. I don’t think he has much trade value right now. Considering he’s playing with some highly elite players he should have more points. He might succeed here and that’d be great but his next contract will be low. I see Kuzmenko being worth a 1st+ and Schenn a 2nd+ so an added third and Puljujarvi seems fair
  9. We are not a contender right now. Need to be selling high on assets while we can instead of resigning to these ones we always seem to regret. Therefore, Kuzmenko+ Schenn for 2023 1st Puljujarvi 2024 2nd 2025 3rd
  10. If you can get something for Miller at this point you take it and run…. terrible team to watch and his attitude for everyone to see makes it worse. Tank for a top five pick. Bedard or not we need one of those top players and some other prospects/picks coming back in some trades.
  11. Not a fan of this. Let Bruce run out the rest of the year. Give a new coach a fresh start next year with a dramatically changed team. I don’t feel Bruce is the problem right now, it’s players attitudes from what I can see. move Miller, Horvat, Boeser and Schenn this deadline. get back a top 6 centre prospect, top 4 RD prospect and some first rounders
  12. Horvat for Nemec (+Tatar if needed cap wise) Would you trade a 30goal scorer for potential top pairing Defenceman?
  13. Myers is UFA next year so I’d keep him as a potential rental sale next year unless you can trade him sooner without giving up an asset. I’d look at trading Boeser for a reclamation type player and a prospect or two. something like Boeser+2nd for Greenway+Addison and/or Öhgren. that should leave room to sign Bo
  14. Don’t agree at all. Horvat is only 27, scored 30 goals last year and on pace for 60 this year (will more likely be in the high 40 low 50 range). Someone is going to really need to give up some very good assets to get him. I’m disappointed we didn’t trade Miller so that we have the room for all our guys but management made a different call then I’d have liked. Horvat is easily worth a young prospect like Schneider and more on top of that. Especially since he has more quality years ahead of him compared to Kane
  15. if we add Schneider on D we become a way better team. Hughes-Schneider would be that top pair you win cups with. Kakko replaces Boeser when he’s traded and Boeser could fetch us a quality centre prospect. I like Kuzmenko but the way he’s playing may price him out of our Cap so he might be the guy to trade this deadline, but who knows. So Maybe Garland, Boeser or Kuzmenko gets you something like Räty or Turcotte. Dont get me wrong though I’d rather trade Miller over Horvat but the time to do that was last year before we resigned him at 8M. Personally I see this year as a write off even though we’ve played better recently. we need to stop this mediocre bubble playoff structure and move some pieces to get some younger higher potential quality Pieces.
  16. NYR Horvat VAN Schneider Kakko NYR won’t be able to afford 3 RD costing more then 20M of cap so Schneider will likely needed to be traded at some point. Kakko is floundering and in need of a change of scenery, would prefer Lafreniere but with Schneider added doubt it happens. Kakko also carries just over 2M of cap allowing the trade to work cap wise
  17. Not the worst idea if they’re just going to be in the press box half the time. They are waivers exempt still for now send them down until you trade some vets for futures and then give them a real opportunity to succeed once they’re confidence gets back up
  18. Guys been dealing with injuries and major personal family things. How’s your performance when that’s happening? give the guy some time now that he’s healthy to up his play. By year end I bet your eating your words
  19. No for me give Boeser some time to get his feet under him and he will be worth minimum a first
  20. Horvat has 7 goals in 10 games. Hard to trade him right now for what he’s bringing miller garland pearson ekman Larson can all be traded if this team doesn’t start stepping up on a nightly basis
