What can the bruins do to make a run with this core again? The hard part is letting go of Krug who is going to get a big contract, second is what’s the next option or options to replace him. The immediate replacement isn’t within the organization.... at least this year. I believe the bruins and chara agree on a very small 1 year deal that still gives the legend that is Chara 1 more run with this group just at a smaller more maintainable role which could change with injury. 1 year 1.5 for a bottom pair Dman of his caliber is a steal. Next you address the Krug replacement. Debrusk for Nurse (Moore is just a throw in with EDM having a lot of youth and non-contracted Dmen) makes too much sense all around. Edmonton born Debrusk goes home, Nurse wants out and gets out in a place he can immediately slit into a Top 2 or a Top 4. My opinion he fits right next to Carlo perfectly where he can use his physicality and jump into the rush if need be. Ritchie’s time in Boston should be all but over, I picked Vegas because originally I liked Perri coming to Boston but Ritchie doesn’t hold that type of value besides a contract so this really works with any team I was just already on Vegas. The key piece to all of this is Taylor Hall, Taylor Hall is almost a Bruins must have. 28 years old, can score like no other, and is able to do it all over the ice. Krejci on his last year probably won’t be back and giving this team a second line that can score like they would with Hall/Krejci/Studnika or Kase would be lethal to follow “The Perfection Line” I didn’t want to do anything with Rask because I wouldn’t call it realistic to assume his future but with Holtby in the market something is very possible.
