Going for it all

It's been a while since I did one of these, so I might be significantly off. Any and all feedback will be appreciated.

Carlo > Brodie

So not sure why BOS would even consider that for a second.

It’ll take more to move out Backes and a 2nd won’t be going back. I think the Krieder trade is good even tho rags fans will be like “it starts with Pasta.” Carlo>Brodie and Brodie is a rental. And the Miller trade is fine. Anyway for not doing one of these for a while like u said it’s not bad

2 things. Number 1, I feel like you would have to add A LOT to get rid of Backes. Possibly a situation similar to Marleau, but since there is more term it could be even bigger. Number 2, I wouldn't trade Carlo for Brodie. Carlo looks to be a core piece of Boston's blue line for years to come. IF they were to trade for Brodie, the picks should be on the other side imo.

Miller move seems good for both teams assuming he's a healthy #5/6D again.

I think Backes + Frederic probably doesn't get you a second + fourth back unfortunately. Backes is just that toxic a contract. Marleau's $6M cap hit cost a first to move, but Backes has that for two seasons and Arizona can't fit Backes in even with Hossa's LTIR money. I think Boston would need to retain a fair bit ($2M to $3M) on the Backes contract to get back the return you have shown.

As a Flames fan, I think that it's great that we pillaged Boston for them to rent (and maybe re-sign) Brodie, but I don't think there's any chance they are moving Carlo. Maybe straight across for a re-signed Brodie plus a pick or two from the Flames, but even then I doubt it.

Kreider deal seems like a slight overpay from Boston's POV due to 2020 being a stacked draft class, but given the price for rentals at the deadline, I could see it happening. Boston probably prefers to move the 2021 1st though.
