Quoting: BreKel
Good point on trading the 2019 1st after dealing Rask and going with Dobby/Markstrom. You basically just gave Carolina a legitimate chance at a top 5-10 overall pick with that one, since that tandem stinks of high lottery team. Anything to move Rask though!
I really don't get the Rask hate.
He isn't the best in the league, but he is top 5 IMO, but almost impossible to argue him out of the top 10. People always talk about his contract, but its' not bad compared to his peer group
Tell me who you would want more? The only guys that are legit/better
value are guys on their 1st deals (Vasilevsky, Murray, Gibson)
Not in any particular order- The guys you could argue are better. I could argue most are not when factoring value.
1) Price 10M
2) Quick 5.8M (signed 10 year deal in 2013)
3) Holtby 6.1M (shorter deal, will get 7m+ in two years - especially if he gets a Cup)
4) Lunqvist 8.5m (3 years left, he is 36)
5) Bobrovsky 7.25m
6) Jones 5.75m*
7) Crawford 6m
8) Rinne 7m
I just don't get what people think is out there. Yes, every team would love to have a 22-24 year old for 2-3m - you know like the Bruins did 6 years ago. Those guys who are good, get paid. Everyone acts like there are all these other great options out there. Who? The Bruins have top 10 goalie and he is paid accordingly. The guys who are underpaid and great values, are in the exact same position Rask was in before he signed his deal (Vezina and Cup appearance).
Give me a legit option that actually makes the Bruins better.
