this is a good team which means its unrealistic

You guys are relentless, but you are not getting Carlo.

While I don't expect the Bruins to trade him, I'd imagine a rebuild is around the corner. This is a hypothetical if the Bruins were to get back some assets they lost from going all in. Bear is not a bad player and acts as a temporary stop gap. A first round pick wouldn't hurt the Bruins either

That is actually a pretty fair offer for Carlo. I could see Boston considering it. Would shed a bit of cap and get a replacement (albeit different style) RHD.

EDIT: I like the garland trade as well. Difficult to say if Pittsbugh would be interested or not until they get a new management team in place. If they hire an analytic driven team (which would make sense given what that ownership has chosen to do with the redox) then I could see something like this as a possibility. Garland has strong analytics and 5on5 numbers. I've often thought he would be a good fit with malkin.

I know Bruins fans won't like the Carlo trade....but they do need cap, and Carlo is one guy even with his M NTC that could be traded for good value (no cap) in return.
Like the Garland trade too. Canucks are going to take similar cap back in a trade, so a trade like this can work with some team if not the Pens.

Bear is just added to large pile of bottom of the D types they already have. Their RD is so shallow that 3rd on the depth chart today is a low end prospect in jrs. It’s a terrible move for Boston.

There are half dozen guys that could be moved to create cap. Carlo isn’t one of them.

Boston ownership will never allow a rebuild. Even if it was needed.
