OMG that Nucks trade. No.

rick nash contract would be a 1 year because we have cap room this year... but we want him next year 2. we would make a gentlemans agreement. we would tell him we are overpaying him this year because part of the money should be considered as next year's payment. we would get a promise from him that he will accept a bonus laden 35 year old contract next season with a base salary of 2 mill and 3 mill in bonus money

we need this to make the cap work next year. what this means for nash is hes promised 9 mill over 2 years... if he doesn't make a single bonus. but if he does make his bonus he can earn as much as 12 mill. so if he plays great he will be paid well.

edler is on an expiring contract so I imagine krug fans will be irate that im trading him for a guy that is only here 1 year. but I want a cup and I think edler does more to help us get the cup. hes also a better partner for McAvoy as McAvoy needs to go through the sophomore blues this year and needs a good partner. getting brandon sutter who is a right hand shot at 1/2 price will be very valuable to the bruins as they try to break federic and studnicka and jfk into the lineup over the next couple years and makes it easier for the bruins to trade krejci and/or backes next year when their ntc opens up.

my team isn't finished yet... its too close to the cap. we would still need to trade one of miller or McQuaid. I would hold off until someone gets desperate for a rhs dman and gives us a very good draft pick. id fill the 7th spot with a rotation of different providence guys to give them experience

id also fill the 14th forward position from providence guys too

got to get some of these kids more nhl time before we start losing them all to group V free agency
