HKSR Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Let's sit back and think for a second on what a team like Boston could do to facilitate a trade for JT Miller. Canucks want Carlo in the deal... Boston goes out and signs UFA Manson to a $6M x 5 year deal. Carlo now becomes expendable. To VAN: Carlo Lysell Debrusk Haula - basically a cap dump, but could fill a role for the Canucks for a year 2nd Round Pick - recoup a missing 2nd round pick for this year To BOS: JT Miller Hoglander Podkozlin-Petey-Boeser Garland-Bo-Debrusk Pearson-Haula-Deslauriers Highmore-Lamikko-Lockwood Hughes-Carlo OEL-Schenn Dermott-Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKER67 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 If BOS is rebuilding, they're not going to want to give away Lysell. Maybe you're onto something with Carlo, DeBrusk and a pick for Miller and Hogz? Other teams are going to be selling assets too, like PIT and TOR, for example. VAN's list includes, IMO: Miller Garland Hoglander Pearson Dickinson (might not be possible) Ekman-Larsson Myers Poolman (might not be possible) They want to clear cap space, get younger and grittier/tougher/bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were gonna retool and give it another few shots while Pasta, Marchand, et. al are still performing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not simplify this deal and just go with something like: - Miller to Boston for Carlo and Lysell (Or just a pick if that is too much for Boston to give up. We could also add something small to go with Miller to help make it work instead for Lysell) Debrusk isn't cheap and I just don't get why people want him so badly. I could definitely be missing something, but his play has not impressed me much so far in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping Debrusk, adding Miller, and adding Manson would be way too much cap going into Boston's roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I thought they were an older team, with Bergeron set to leave. But it also makes sense, with Bergeron leaving, that opens up the spot for Miller and keeps them a contender with Pastrnak and Marchand.

That will be up to them to figure out and may not even be needed for them. If Boston is trying to go for another run or two before their window is done then they need to give up something to make that happen. McAvoy is their #1 and Lindholm is #2 after that would likely be Carlo. So we are targeting their #3 D which seems reasonable. Also Boston has 3 other D all signed for 2 more season making over 3 mil (which makes up their middle D group). Then they have 2 guys signed for around a mil each (Clifton and Zboril) who could be their bottom pairing/#7. (All this is from Cap friendly) So they have an good amount of D signed already. Yes Carlo is young and good, but they are in a tough spot and by all accounts are trying to push for a couple more runs before their core is done. Miller is a great fit for that team and we can retain some of his salary too if it is really needed to finalize the deal - in return Boston has to give up something and Carlo is a fair price based on their current D and who they signed recently.

Boston's plans will be very tied to what Bergeron does this off season. If he retires, then I can definitely see them interested in finding a veteran 1C to contend for the next 2-3 seasons. UFA and trade options would be: Miller, Schiefle, Kadri, Trocheck. Kadri is old and probably wants a long term deal and BOS more likely try and compete for next 3 seasons then rebuild, so Kadri is not a great fit. Trocheck also looking for long term, is younger than Kadri, but not really a 1C on a contender. Schiefle has two years left on his contract, might be the best fit as he is under contract while they want to contend and comes off contract around the time they want to rebuild. Miller would be great but they will know he wants a big long term contract after this season and they likely want someone whose contract expires in 2-4 years. If they are keen on Miller I could see this trade as a potential: To VAN: Carlo + Debrusk + 2023 1st To BOS: Miller + Myers (1.5m retained) We could keep Debrusk or on-trade him for further assets (my preference). Boston also offloads Reilly, who is a good depth LD but is expendable with Lindholm on their roster.

Debrusk, Carlo, Beecher and a 2nd for Miller+. This could be a deal i could get behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either that or re-set around Pasta with a couple years of tanking kind of like what LA did ... i think that they don't have enough on there team to do much other then go the SJ route - which is a re-tool like you suggest they could do (SJ re-tool actually worked...now they have to pay the piper lol)...

I don't think the Bruins have ever rebuilt, They tank occasionally and they retool they tanked in 1997 but drafted Joe THornton 1st and Samsonov at #8 and rebounded the next season That #8 pick was acquired by trading Glen Wesley in 1994 for 2 firsts they later traded THornton they traded Phil Kessel for 2 first Lucic for a 1st + and Hamilton for a first and two 2nds the Bruins are the masters of the retool but are not rebuilders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
