Gaudette Celly Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Quote The Bruins are open for business. With a pipeline simply loaded with prospects, many of whom are already here with the B’s or ready to make the jump into the NHL picture next season, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney has let it be known that he’s willing to trade the club’s first-round pick (No. 18 overall) if the right deal presents itself. This is nothing new for Sweeney, of course, who has made it a habit to try and swing big deals on draft day. He did it in 2015 when he moved Milan Lucic to the Kings and then moved Dougie Hamilton to the Flames. Sweeney also tried like hell on draft night in 2016 to make a deal for a defenseman, but would (rightfully) not budge when the Blues allegedly demanded both of the B’s first-round picks along with David Pastrnak from the Bruins in a deal for puck-moving d-man Kevin Shattenkirk. It’s believed that the Bruins are looking for another left-shot defenseman to bolster their overall defensive depth and help ease the burden on the 40-year-old Zdeno Chara, who remains the club’s best left-side option, and as a complementary piece either behind or ahead of Torey Krug on their left side, who established a career-high in points last season, with 51. The Bruins could also stand to add some more scoring punch to the left side of their forward corps, and potentially move out of a bad contract or two, depending on what happens with the NHL expansion draft, which comes just days before the draft. The Bruins will have six picks in the 2017 Draft, which takes place on June 23 and 24, in Chicago.http://bigbadblog.weei.com/sports/boston/hockey/bruins/2017/06/02/bruins-gm-don-sweeney-open-to-trading-2017-first-round-pick/ #18 (+ Spooner/cap) for Edler/Sbisa Canucks draft London Knights' C Robert Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Sbisa and our 3rd rd pick? May be overvaluing Sbisa but eh its the Bruins. Imagine if we traded Edler, Tanev, and Sbisa. Boy would our D look thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of it they are looking for a 2nd or 3rd pairing left-side dman. Describes Edler and/or Sbisa quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 we could trade them higgins and a 7th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Shero already said he'd move the 1st overall for the right deal. In other news, Jim Benning said that he'd move his first round pick (#5) for the right deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I could see Minnesota capitalizing on this whether trading Brodin or Scandella, so they don't lose too much in the expansion draft. Plus they lost their first round pick in the Hanzal trade, good opportunity to get one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckswincup8 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 edler will just block the trade sbisa + subban for their first draft one of suzuki yamamoto or thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Dont think Sbisa or Edler gets the 18th overall or even close to that on their own. The nucks would definitely have to add a pick and take back a cap dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodin and Scandella from the Wild - they need to clear cap space and they can't protect them. Although it's unclear what is the best strategy for them. Do they simply leave both exposed as Vegas can only pick one - it allows them to keep 4Ds after expansion (the three protected and whoever is not picked). Or do they at least try and trade one and risk losing the other in expansion - which leaves them with only 3 Ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Sbisa, Baer + 55thoa + SJS 4th = 18th and Spooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this deal is made pre expansion draft, Benning could offer up a 3rd or 4th round pick if the Knights take Beleskey, leaving Spooner on the roster. I'd rather have Bo-Sedin-Spooner-Sutter as the center depth instead of rushing Molino into the line up, he doesn't look NHL ready yet. If they want Edler, then the deal gets better in our favor, especially if we have to take a bad contract from them, I would gladly re-work the deal as such: Boston - A. Edler - CLB 2nd pick 2017 Vancouver - Beleskey - Spooner - DeBrusk - 18th OA Canucks add another LW prospect with some pedigree to the farm system.

Everyone else is an important piece or RFA. Likewise I don't see us needing Spooner (shopped) nor Belesky (cap), but something else may be needed to make it work. 1 minute ago, S'all Good Man said: Sbisa, Baer + 55thoa + SJS 4th = 18th and Spooner? Spooner has minimal value, and Sbisa + Baertschi should certainly get us better than the #18. Players in that range may not turn out better than either one of them.
