Description
The third line becomes the defacto defensive zone line. Nice to see Lauko return to form next to Frederic (seems to be a common theme)

The fourth line is a tad more offensive than normal. They need to keep Poitras at center
Trades
BOS
  1. Hanifin, Noah ($775,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Guarantee they get him without giving up a number 1. Losing Lohrei is tough, but Hanifin essentially replaces him long term either way, Trade Ullmark in the offseason to recoup picks.
CGY
  1. Grzelcyk, Matt
  2. Harrison, Brett
  3. Lohrei, Mason
  4. 2026 2nd round pick (BOS)
Additional Details:
Lohrei is a good D prospect with significant offensive upside. This deal is going to be dependent on Calgary’s assessment of him, but a cost controlled close to NHL ready defenseman with top 4 potential is interesting.


Add a second round pick and a decent prospect like Harrison. Grz simply lowers the amount of retention Boston asks for and they should be able to trade him.

I could see it if Calgary views Lohrei as having 1st round value

Calgary has to do this. I'm sure some fans will come on here shooting it down but it's exactly the type of deal they should be looking to make.

Add in the fact that he could "demand" a move to Boston...heck ya.

Even if it is high second round value, it still pencils out.

This draft is weaker depth wise, so the open question is do you take an NHL ready guy for later this year who becomes a FA quicker or a draft pick,

I’d do this if I was Calgary, but I am high on Lohrei and low on this draft, I don’t believe you will find a D in this draft past 20 whose in Lohrei’s class in terms of talent

Lohrei projects to be a Hanifin type, under team control, only in his 1st full year of pro hockey and has been improving in every game he's in. I'm not sold on sending him out for Hanifin. You're going to be spending $7-$8 mil to keep him? then you have McAvoy($9.5), Lindholm($6.5), Carlo($4.1).

I think it's more important to get a Middleton type right now, I don't think Hanifin is what the Bruins defense needs.
