Description
So we have two 1st round picks this year. We had 3 last year plus two 2nds. We don't need too many picks this year we can afford to give them up for players.

Joe Morrow + 1st Round Pick for Dustin Byfuglien (This gives Winnipeg some space to resign players and they get a young D man who may be half good for them) - (Depends whether he wants to come to Boston of course) Risky trade as he may not even want to resign with us. However he's automatically the number 1 right hander and he'd be loved in Boston for his physical play.

Eriksson + 1st Round Pick for Cam Fowler (Anaheim gets their forward, he can play PK, PP. They have been scouting Loui for a while now so makes sense) -
He's on the block if ANA can get a forward. 24 years old, left handed, again automatically the number 1 left hander on the team (As Chara is struggling a bit with the big minutes carrying the team)

That first pair gives Chara a breather, gives him less minutes and he can be more effective.

Now to replace Loui. Had a look around and Cam Aktinson seems the best option. Went to Boston College. Decent contract, has 17 goals this season. Incredibly fast skater, plays PP and PK for Columbus. So that's Loui's jobs taken over if needed. Of course doesn't quite have the defensive game of Eriksson but he's still the most viable option. So hard to value him though, as 17 goals this season makes him a bit tricky to get. I gave two 2nds and Seidenberg. Columbus can use those picks to rebuild and Seidenberg gives them a veteran presence on the back end. Could throw a low level prospect in there aswell if they wanted.

I would like to get a heavier body on the 4th line. Maybe a guy like Ryan Reaves who is just a hitting machine but I'm not sure of his value.

Seems like a lot to give Buf as a rental. Gotta believe the Ducks think Fowler is worth more than a first rounder. Don't think Seidenberg was waive his NTC to go to Columbus. Maybe McQuaid and a 2nd rounder might do it.

Buff - Generally good rentals get a 1st and a prospect. Joe Morrow isn't a high level prospect, he's got pretty low value right now I'd say. Also this would be with the idea that Buff wouldn't be a rental and that the Bruins would resign him to a long contract.

Fowler - I agree he is worth more than a first rounder. They are getting Eriksson. A top 6 forward aswell as that first round pick.

Atkinson - Seidenberg said last year if the Bruins didn't want him anymore he'd waive it. I think he's a respectable guy. He'd probably go.
