Description

Trade Mrazek at deadline if they are feeling comfortable with Swayman/Vladar or Rask coming back .

Rask may not be ready, but should have a decent sense as to what Swayman is.

I have little to no faith in Kase staying healthy.

I think that’s really far from perfect. Dunn is not the kind of d man the bruins should be adding.

Bit of a steep package for a middle pairing defenseman and an aging forward with injury issues that never may get back into high numbers again. Not to mention the 7.5 mil contract he has.

That "steep package" still managed to contribute less than said middle pairing dman and injury prone forward. Who, it sounds like is not happy with STL's training staff.
Dunn is only 24 and is a slightly bigger version of Grzelcyk. I will take that over Zboril or Vaakanianan at this point. Tarasenko is also 29. That is not really aging, especially with 2 years left on the deal, it's not like he will be 37 when the deal ends. If he is injured again, they can LTIR him, so not really worried about the cap space. Also - he is only 29, and he doesn't have a ton of wear and tear other than the shoulder (which is big), over the last two years. I am not worried about his age. Injury is the worry. IF he is healthy, he is really really good. Worth the risk of Debrusk IMO. Frederic is fun, but he isn't overly good. Goodrow is similar, but probably more skilled, or at least more polished.

Why? They aren't going to land a true 1LD - It would take a near miracle to get anyone better than Grzelcyk, which - Dunn is, or at least there is an argument. Hopefully they hit the jackpot with Lohrie - They should have a good idea in the next 6 months.

They 100% are resigning Miller. Probably the same deal and he will play when he is healthy. That is their right side. Clifton as the extra. They gave up a 2nd for Reilly? So, I assume they try to retain him. Love him as a 3rd pairing guy.

So, they need a 1LD or 2LD and depth. With Lohrei coming up, and the overall lack of availability of another LD I don't see them doing much better. Dunn, Graves (trade w/Seattle), Hanafin or Klefbom seem to be their options. All varying degrees of concern. Maybe Eckholm, but that would cost a fortune, or Nashville waits and deals at deadline for more.

Wrong style of play. He isn’t that good either. Plenty of options in UFA that are a far better fit.
