Team: 2018-19 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 22, 2018

Published: Dec. 22, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I don't know about this and the interest. I know that Rackell has 4 years left and having the Ducks retain 1M each year is quite a lot but... At this point, the Ducks probably want a high draft pick, and Rackell only makes that chance lower. I feel like this trade benefits both teams. Even though there is no 1st rounders, I think the Ducks will still take it since 2nd/3rd round steals are more frequent recently IMO.

Bjork, Anders

2019 2nd round pick (BOS)

Additional Details:

Conditional 2019 6th round: If Rackard is able to score > 55 points in 2019 (including playoffs), a 5th round pick will be sent instead of a 6th.

As we all know, we are having problems with our RW. As of now, the Ducks are on a hot losing streak... ( i don't care how I say that) and are high on cap. Sending them 2 guys on ELCs and a 2nd round pick for a guy who is good, but 25 and will not help the team sink for a good pick. Nordstrom is only there for the roaster spot and has seen to have potential to score, but I would rather more speedy wings and bigger hitters. Rakell will only help us improve for the cup, and Bjork, a 2nd, could easily help Anaheim move around. Backes can be bought out at the end of the season for more cap for younger fowards. Lets face it, the Ducks are out of playoff contention and is looking for a rebuild while the Bruins are looking for a cup.

I think Silvferberg could be had, but traded Rakell would be a mistake. Hes a guy I think they as part of their present and future (only 25 yr old), hes also currently injured.

They would want quality over quantity. Think DeBrusk to start and add to that... Rakell is elite scorer and player on insanely great contract as it is..

Rakell is hovreing around the top 20 spot for wingers in the league. I think this starts with a 1st and Vaaka/DeBrusk and then adds on

Whoa, I thought that Anaheim deal was gonna fall through, but thank god you put in that 6th round pick and made it a conditional 5th. Total linchpin asset.

Ducks have no interest in moving Rakell. If they the did you could remove Nordstrom and 2nd ang 6th and add a 1st just to get them to the table.

Would be a great addition. But it’s a pipe dream.

yeah I know. Ducks are going for a rebuild, and a 70 point player won't help you get a top pick. So that is why I thought he could have been given up. I know he is injured, but I don't see why it would be a mistake?

top 6 foward. 3rd line scorer, 4 line player that puts up points. 2nd round pick, 3rd rounder. I don't see how that is bad value? Yes I know Rackell is good, but they want a top 5 pick, and a 70 point player won't get you a top 5 pick...

Really? At this point, they probably want to start rebuilding. I know a 1st round would make it go through instead of Nordstrom. Honestly, Nordstrom is in there for the roaster spot and drafting 2 years without a first rounders harsh. I know it seems kinda hard to get through, but Skinner for a 2, 3, 6, and cliff pu is going to be avg. trades this year, as far as I see the trades, and the Karlsson trade is just a different story. I kinda get the point where ppl don't see it being fair, but I see Rackell as a good top 6 at most, never going to be a top liner.

1. Neither Vaak or Debrusk will be on the table. Debrusk will be Rakell in 2 or 3 years, not talking about a 1st. Vaak is a prospect we could trade, but there is no motivation for us. As for the ducks, they want a top 5 picks, they better move some good players.

Thanks for pointing out my typos. Out of mind right now and there you go. Same thing. Skinner trade is basically the same trade as this. Weak to strong team for less value. Done

Debrusk will be Rakell in 2 or 3 years, and I don't think Rakell will be elite. I see him as a great top 6 foward but not elite, and elite is hard to define as from my angle.

Rakell is a top 20 winger in the league. Signed for 4 years to a team friendly contract. I doubt 1st, 2nd, and Bjork even gets him. Skinner had extinuating cicumstsnces. He had an NMC and was rumored to be uncooperative and turned down deals to LA and Fla (rumors). It was not until Canes went public with that that he accepted a deal. It was also widely known that Canes wanted to move him before the season started and he would not sign an extension at time of the trade. All of which pulled his trade value down. They wanted a 1st and a prospect for him. They got a 2nd, 3rd, and a prospect. Not that far off and at the time Buffalos 2nd looked like it would be a high 2nd, not much less value than a late 1st. There is no way you can use that as a benchmark for setting trade value.

He's a first line winger, and on a stupid good contract to that. I'm a Bruins fan, I love DeBrusk, but expecting him to be a top 20 winger is asking a lot. The fact that Rakell is producing on an offensively crippled Ducks team says a lot

It would be a mistake for ANH to trade a 25 yr old who near had 70 points last season. If your rebuilding, you need to rebuild around someone, right?

If they want a rebuild then they'll be looking to move older players like Perry and Getzlaf. It would be like Boston trading Pasta when Z, Bergy, Krejci and Tuuks leave because they want to rebuild. Rakell is part of the future core they want to build around.

when you're talking about higher end assets like Rakell, GM's don't give a crap about (conditional) late round picks, they're basically worthless

i agree. Debrusk and Vaak are not on the table....so neither is Rakell. You have to give to get, and the balls on you to try to absolutely rob them, and then ask a budget team to retain salary for 4 years. Yikes. just horrendously bad value.

I agree we need a RW for Krejci and DeBrusk. I don't think Rakell is that guy, no chance ANA would retain salary on a guy like him. I was thinking someone like Coyle/Simmonds. I'd try to hold on to Donato/Heinen/Bjork just for playoff depth but you'd definitely need to move one of them due to cap issues before next season.

Also, never trade with Toronto. Makes no sense to takeway from us and add to them when we will see them in the first 2 rounds no doubt. Doesn't matter how small the trade looks, do not trade with the leafs.

Rakell is exactly the type of guy Bruins need .. I would trade Debrusk and throw in Krug and 2 other you forwards. BRUINS need to start making 2 or 3 for 1 trades where they get the 1 solid guy.
