Gretzky to Lemieux Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 To BOS: Zack Kassian, Ryan Stanton, Yannick Weber, Chris Higgins, Linden Vey, Tom Sestito, and Brendan Gaunce To VAN: Dougie Hamilton, Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, and Adam Mcquaid Boston saves about a million in cap space while adding LOTS of depth and size. They receive a potential superstar in Kassian while we get a potential top 2 defensemen in Hamilton. Vancouver receives some size, speed, skill and grit. Eriksson has played and thrived in this conference before and Hamilton and Mcquaid would also dominate in the West because of their size. Smith is used to replace Kassians numbers on the 3rd line. Keep in mind that Eriksson has played with the Sedins before which will allow us to rotate Vrbata, Burrows and Eriksson with the Sedins if we're struggling with offense. Hamilton and Mcquaid are upgrades on defence and we should be able to sign them once their contracts have run out because we have the cap space. I think that Gaunce and Jensen are good trading assets because we already have Horvat and Mccann as our 2 way centers so Gaunce is the odd man out. I am willing to give up Kassian ONLY if we get Hamilton in return. What do you guys think?

TheRussianRocket. Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 You know it's a quantity for quality trade when one team is trading away 8 players and receiving 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassian, Stanton, Higgins, Vey and Gaunce are quality. Sestito and Weber are add-ons. Sestito also gives them some size. Weber is just a quantity piece I'll admit.

asian player Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm sorry for making such a stupid trade but please make some better offers so I could learn and not waste your time in the future. Thanks! Aside from Horvat and Virtanen, there's nothing we have that will fetch us Hamilton. He's taking over that #1 spot when Chara retires and will be one of the top defensemen in the league. You also need to look at what both team needs and if it fits into their cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks1219 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Kassian, Stanton, Higgins, Vey and Gaunce are quality. Sestito and Weber are add-ons. Sestito also gives them some size. Weber is just a quantity piece I'll admit. Not relative to what they are giving up. There isn't enough "certainty" in what we are giving them. Kassian - Has the highest potential but has been very inconsistent both on a production and physicality level. He's either trying to score, hit, both, or neither. And you never know what you are going to get on any given day. As it stands, he does not actually "project" as a top-6 forward. There's a difference between "potential" and "projection". Vey - Redundant small-ish RW since they already have Seth Griffith. Gaunce - Like Kassian, he has the potential to be a top-6 but projects as a #3 centre. Stanton - Not a top-4 defenseman. He will be a solid bottom-pairing defenseman (7th on a deep team) but nothing more. Very little in the offense-department. Higgins - Aging bottom 6 forward. Lately it's become more evident that he is slowing down. He doesn't have the same aggressive forecheck we've seen from him in the past. Weber and Sestito you've basically admitted to being add-ons. On the Bruins side: Hamilton - An already established top-4 defenseman who basically has all of the traits the Bruins are looking for on the backend. He's a big, young, mobile, defenseman with solid offensive upside. He'll be their #1 one day. Smith - Like Hamilton, Smith is young (23) but has already established himself as a regular top-6 forward in the NHL. Eriksson - Hasn't played up to standards since coming to Boston and has gotten a concussion relatively recently, which lower his value. That being said, he has size (though not particularly physical), skates well, has very good hockey IQ and is, well, a better option than Higgins on LW. McQuaid - With McQuaid in the package, they are losing both of their top-4 right-handed defenseman. McQuaid has size, is very steady, and is physical. The problem with the proposal is that the real quality players we are giving are not established at all. Yet the 4 players they are giving up are established top-4 defenseman and top-6 forwards (Eriksson would be a top-6 on many teams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Then make it better It's my job to make your trade better? Ok. For starters, think about the last time this many players were moved at one time between two teams. At most you might get 5 players moved at one time (all players in), but 3 of those players would usually be a combination of AHL players and low end prospects. Here, you have 11 players being moved, only one of which isn't playing in the NHL (Gaunce). Boston may be in a cap crunch, but you have them giving away not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 players that not only relieve cap for them, but are also some of 2 top 4 defensemen and top six wingers for, arguably, Canuck underachievers and bottom 6 players.

Mackcanuck Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Higgins, Sestito and 4th for Loui Eriksson Sestito is a UFA at seasons end so his cap won't hurt the Bruins Higgins and Sestito are Bruins type players Eriksson is a Canucks type player Clears cap for Bruins and opens a roster spot for our prospects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
