If we’re retaining almost half of his contract, for the rest of his contract (which is a long time).. as well as take on a horrid contract with someone playing in the AHL, I can guarantee you we aren’t adding a 2nd..
that’s what.. 6 mill in Edmonton? again? What’s the point of this if that’s the case. We aren’t releasing cap if we do this deal. We’re just trading Postma for a 2nd, ew

well, when your gm loves to give out huge back breaking contracts , trades like this would be a blessing

If he was free i wouldn’t take him.

What if we took on Lucic ($1,336,667 retained), you guys took on Beleskey, we gave you DeBrusk + our 2018 1st round draft pick + (additional pieces) to move up in the draft for your top 5 pick??? Would this be of interest and if so what would those "additional pieces" need to be? This is just an idea I've had rolling around in my head...

Its like taking a nice fast paced team and grinding it to a halt with this giant rock. They dont want him. He doesn't fit.

What is all this Lucic bullshit? Stop... It's not happening lmfao

Bruins don’t like Lucic. Probably why we TRADED him in the first place

You are smarter than this so i will give you a pass...this time. Lol.

You wouldn't even do it for a top 5 pick? Dahlin, Svechnikov, Tkachuk, Boqvist, Zadina could all make an impact their draft year... Like I said just an idea rolling around in my head... I haven't drawn it up, because I don't think it would be too welcomed.

Nope

Well than that's just being dumb imo

6m for 5 years of a statue that doesn’t play defense, is a shell of his former self and going downhill. What do you call that? Intelligent?

They could retain half his salary i’d dtill say no. I’d rather have Beleskey for 2 more years than Looch for 5. The top 5 pick isn’t that much of incentive to me. Unlikey to land Dahlin who is the only sure thing star there. Love Tkachuk. Keep in mind though, just a few years ago Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhardt, Michael Dal Colle were top 5 picks. B’s took Pastarnak 25th that year. It’s a gamble not worth taking.

It would be 4.6 with the retained salary, but I hear what you are saying... Like I said it was just an idea that got stuck in my head... sometimes the only way to get stuff like that out of my head is to put it out there and get some feedback; I didn't think it would be well received, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head. You are right, we have been doing pretty well with drafting in spite our low draft position and we would risk a draft bust just like any position in the draft, so there is still that risk. It just seemed tempting to want to take a top 5 pick this season with so many good players available, but I totally understand where you're coming from and why this wouldn't be a good idea. You'll have to excuse my momentary laps of judgement (I have them from time to time lol... I'm sure this won't be the last time)
