Description

Just curious to see how much value the Bruins could extract in the best case scenario for their pending UFAs. Obviously not sure which team would pay for each of these players specifically, so don't get caught up on e.g. "Seattle would never do that". It's more just an exercise to see how much the Bruins might get in return if they suck next season.

Canes pass. Carolina do not pay for rentals, especially not B+/A- prospects like Blake.

No chance the Canes do that deal, especially in a trade deadline situation.

Really shocked that you didnt just do the same old boring trade where you send Ullmark to NJ. Congratz on actually being different and not doing the same ole panic trade a goalie to the devils.

Again, I don't know exactly which teams will make these deals but *someone* will. These teams are basically placeholders. I'm just looking to get a rough estimate of the total value the Bs might get back if they need to sell at the deadline.

Most are fine, but Grzelcyk won't get as much especially because of his size. Anyways, I doubt it happens (just like in 2016). It's the centennial season, Sweeney and Neely will keep them all to try to sneak in the wild card and so, the Jacobs stay happy with the playoffs money. Hope I'm wrong, let's see.
