Description
Bruins don't mortgage future to land big fish, instead go with youth on Krejci's LW. Bruins give up good prospect in Heinen, NHL ready Spooner and Morrow to get a capable LHD in Dillon allowing D prospects more time to develop in time for Chara's contract to end.

DeBrusk, Vatrano, or Cehlarik, start at Krejci's LW, depending on who has strongest camp.

        That's a steep package for Dillon.

        Fair enough. Perhaps B's squeeze a higher pick than the 5th from SJS, and offer a lower pick than the 3rd.
        To me, Dillon is an interesting option. At only 26 he's approaching his prime, cap hit not too bad, manageable term left on his contract, can slide up to second pairing if need be. Could be a good veteran by the time Chara's out and Zboril, Lauzon, etc are NHL ready. At that time you can decide to resign him or trade for other assets.

        Dillon isn't a bad grab but not for that price.

        Trade package revised. Mainly the picks. Guessing SJS will have other suitors for Dillon, so still need to dangle a good return for them.

        I like it, Heinen is only one of value, I think you get more for McQuaid from Stars,Wild or Oilers.
