Quoting: bsilk18
I disagree:
Bjork can 10000% be ready for a top 6 role soon, so cant take him out, so is Kase but im fine with withholding him and Ritchie for this.
I maybe one of the bigger Bjork fans and I've said he's the B's most talented u25 winger not named Pastrnak. With that, if you told me that trading him for a guy like Palmieri would bring a cup to Boston, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Love the kids game, but we're loaded with middle six guys.

This is what I would be doing. Argueably what they really need is another good center prospect or someone that can be a solid full time 1C. In three years, that is a really good third line, a good second line, a good 4th line, and Marchy and Pasta need someone to center them.
Marchand - 1C - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Studnicka - Bjork
Lauko - Coyle - Senyshyn
Wagner - Frederic - Steen
Beecher, Blidh, Hall
Then i just wanted to add the defense for the sake of showing that we dont need defense.
Urho - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Griz - Lauzon
Clifton
Two names I'm keeping an eye on in regards to #1C are going to be UFA's when Bergeron is. Those two are Barkov and Zibby.

In saying that, this would leave Kase, Zboril, Ritchie, John Moore, JFK, and Kuhlman all ready to be traded for anything. (Now i dont think you could give up a huge bundle for a good center or center prospect, but maybe work your way there: Kase and Zboril to someone for a 1st, John Moore and Ritchie somewhere for a 2nd, JFK and Kuhlman for a 1st, Now you have two 1sts and a 2nd to give up for something better).
Kase + Zboril would have to be a late 1st unless Kase stays healthy and becomes at top 6 guy...but at that point why trade him
JFK + Khulman probably doesn't net you a 1st. JFK is a 2nd rounder that hasn't shown much in the NHL (really disappointing for me TBH) and currently in Sweden. He says he'll return, but things can change. Khulman is a nice bottom 6 spark plug, but not much more than that.
Moore + Ritchie I guess could fetch you a 2nd rounder, but I'm not big on either guy TBH.
