PowerAids Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 With Boston in some cap trouble next season, with some key RFA's to sign this offseason I think it's inevitable that they will have to make some moves. Now that Benning is in charge here, and obviously has a strong connection with Charelli and co. In Boston, do you guys see any possible trades between the two organizations? I'm looking at Loui Ericsson, he's a new face in BOS, and has a 4.25 cap hit for the next 2 seasons, so he may be available for less than market value if they need to dump cap. What do you guys think? Are there some trade possibilities between these 2 teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoted Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hansen and 2nd round pick for Loui E.?? Reilly Smith stole his job on the 2nd line, and his salary isn't great for a 3rd line winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Would love love LOVE Loui. I have no idea what he's worth after his year in Boston though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks155 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I went to Capgeek to see which players were potentially movable for them and saw that they have the same problem as us- ntc/nmc. They have 11 players w/ 1 of the vs our 10. Anyways, any trade between the 2 will be difficult due to this. I doubt anybody waives to come here because of the Finals (Eriksson wouldn't leave a cup contednor to go to a crappy team in the toughest division in hockey). So these players IMO are off the table, the only other guys they would potentially trade off of their roster would would be: Soderberg Smith Krug Bartkowski All these guys are unlikely (espicially Smith and Krug) because 3 of them are RFA's this year and they were big parts of their team. So moving onto their prospects. Here are their best prospects they might trade away: Spooner Morrow Khocklachev But, since they're prospects, the salary issue comes up and that's what Boston is trying to fix... In short: I doubt any trade will happen between the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't just take Ericsson off the table so fast because he has a NTC, look at the success he had at the WC's with the Sedins, you don't think he would prefer to be a first liner here rather than a 3rd liner in Boston? Or at least consider it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 hope that Lucic has a bad season Then we can trade Edler, Hansen, and a pick or prospect for Lucic and Camara at the deadline. Camara is a young energy type player (similar to Torres) with some skill that can fill Hansen's role in a few years. Lucic is a psycho and having him with the twins would be great.... However, having two psycho's in Lucic and Kassian on the same line would be scary for the opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I wonder what Brad Marchand will look like in a Nucks uniform He would look like Matt Cooke, except a little smaller and more skilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulchain Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Loui is not coming here... he was a key peice in seguin trade. And unless its a trade that involves kesler going their way I dont see Anythingn involving him coming here happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Maybe Peter Chiarelli does Benning a favor and trades us Eriksson or maybe even Marchand!? As much I despise Marchand and his antics and all that, as a hockey player the rat isn't bad... Trade for Marchand and sign Bolland!!!?? Oh boy ratcity...

Outsiders Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Loui Erikson maybe higly doubt that since he was part of the Seguin deal. and LOL ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC2 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Would a deal surrounding Edler and Erikson makes sense? I could be wrong but wasn't there rumors at last years deadline that Boston was interested in Edler? Their contracts are similar as well as their age and Edler could be of more use to them if Erikson is only going to be mainly a 3rd liner. I think a deal like this would make sense for both sides as long as both players are willing to waive their ntc's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However 2 concussions and low production last year may have dropped his stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we gone that low that we would gladly take on the rejects from the successful teams? It's not so much that a player like Eriksson is or would be considered a reject...it's more like timing and circumstances for certain players on certain teams. IMO, Eriksson would be a great fit with the Sedins (mainly based on WC 2013 when the three were dominant at that tourney). I would gladly send Burrows, Hansen and prospect for Eriksson and Khokhlachev. Probably a pipe dream that Boston would do such a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
