Quoting: Jfstompers
hey i agree stone will cost a lot but moving krug now is not an option if you want to compete in this playoffs. stone is a 1st vaak or stud and probably a roster player grz or jfk .
It amazes me how much bruins fans routinely under rate Grizz. There have been many nights, including last night, when he's been the bruins best d man. Losing him would hurt as much as losing Krug.
Just for reference, last season, the big deadline deal was McDonagh and Miller, neither of which were traditional rentals. McDonagh had a full extra season remaining on his contract (an incredibly team friendly contract), and while Miller's contract was expiring, he was an RFA at seasons end. So, neither were rentals. That package, even by the craziest sens fans standards, is without question far more valuable than a couple months of Mark Stone. What did they give up? A first, a conditional second (that moves up to a first if they win the cup), a mid-tier, run of the mill 25 year old roster player who had averaged far under a half point per game to that point in his career, and none of the bolts top prospects. An okay 20 year old junior d man, he has 5 total points in 54 AHL games this season, and 19 year old pretty good, former first rounder playing in junior.
This has the bruins giving up two first rounders, non conditional, a solid young NHL forward, a former first round pick with upside, two years of a freaking near point per game d man. That is unprecedented, and utterly ludicrous by any measure.
