I think its a good trade for both teams but will boston give up donato

No point for CBJ to take Krug. They have a very good top 4 D which will only get better in the next 2-3 years. Plus Krug will want a raise at the end of the 2020 season and CBJ has some big FA decisions to make in the meantime with Bobrovsky and Werenski, also, why would Columbus want to strengthen a team that they might have to face for a WC spot?

I mean, I get your point about it not being a good fit, I agree. I think it's very good value though.

My question is do you really think Boston is in danger of falling into a wild card spot? They were a point out of first in the east last year.

I highly doubt they'd have to play for a WC spot, but FLA and TOR have gotten stronger which may deduct some points from the Bruins, also, I'm just imagining the worst case scenario

Sure Panarin is fine for a year, but gee look at Bruins LHD, you think they need Krug. Having cost efficient Donato for a few year is what the Bruins desire. Yep Bruins get the best player in the trade, butI'm not sure they make at trade as it weakens them in two positions.
