Its a nice haul but y would CBJ retain on Panarin to help Boston?

Bruins should cling to heinen. Move bjork instead. I don't think Columbus would do this, they would want an NHL player coming back to keep them competitive.

Bruins pass.

LW is not a problem area for Bruins. It is one of the teams deepest positions. Plus without an extension that is a huge price to pay. With an extension it may inhibit their ability to sign the players that come due the next 2 years. Not to mention any deal for Panarin likely starts with Debrusk and likely ends without him.

Why? why do people trade players that literally just signed this off-season?

Bruins fan here. As much as I would say yes to a deal like this, surprisingly this trade offer would more than likely be a No from columbus and here’s why.

Danton Heinen is considered the big piece here going back to Columbus. Danton Heinen has a tremendous season, surprising to most Bruins fans. However, he’s really not a guy that is known for his offensive flare. Heinen was really good mostly on the defensive end of the ice. He had a huge run where he was putting up points but then completely slowed down. You don’t really notice Heinen too much in the offensive zone, at least that could be just me. He’s just a solid player but I don’t know I just don’t see him being a top 6 winger on a competitive team. He’s just a great third liner.

Zboril had a decent first pro season, former 13 overall pick. I wanted to see more offense out of him in the AHL, but from what I’ve read he was very gritty and solid defensively throughout the year. That offense can come next season but he’s more than likely going to make an NHL roster in 2019-20 if that.

Senyshyn is expendable but I can’t tell you if other teams are really interested in him at this point. He was a reach at the time he was drafted and he had a very underwhelming first pro season. I think his value goes up if he’s showing signs in the AHL next season. (FWIW: He looked lost and no where near ready when he played in Boston pre season games)

Wagner won’t get dealt, he just signed

So my point is, if Columbus trades Panarin to Boston, it starts with Jake Debrusk. Jake Debrusk showed a ton of offensive flare and work ethic throughout the year ESPECIALLY in the playoffs where he dominated the Leafs. Debrusk can be a future 60 point scorer so I believe Columbus would want a player like that. And in my opinion, I’m keeping Debrusk.

Edit- so Columbus would want a player that keeps them competitive. They’re not going to upgrade trading Panarin no matter what. Debrusk is a player that’s younger and already gives them good scoring. Heinen is just inconsistent as of now and didn’t have spectacular offensive flare that Panarin or Debrusk brings.
However, Anders Bjork could be a guy that Columbus may look into. When he played in Boston, he showed a ton of offensive upside but suffered a very unfortunate injury. If Bjork cracks the Bruins lineup and has a strong start to the season, he may be the trade chip that Columbus wants. He has top 6 potential and is a very fancy player. I am pushing for Boston to showcase him and potentially be involved in a deal that lands Panarin. I can only dream though
