Team: 2020-21 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 3, 2020

Published: Jul. 3, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

This is just over the past 4 days or so

Again, I UNDERSTAND that these trades happen independently of one another, and that some wouldnt happen if others did, but the point here is that: People have gotten REALLY bad at thinking about the other teams POV

Like: why would the bruins give up a 1st and their best defensive prospect (urho) to basically take on a slightly better C with a larger cap for many more years. Would clearly rather just keep krejci and resign him to smaller deals over the next 3 years lol
Or: Why would the bruins give up their entire young prospect pool (urho, Freddy, JFK, Bjork, and a 1st) for a super expensive washed up Dman, and then play him at RW where he has only played like 5 times in his career.
Lastly: Why would a CUP CONTENDER give up a top 6 winger for two late 2nd rounders. Like, hes worth more first off, but also thats just shooting themselves in the foot

Yall: Please consider the other teams' perspectives on these trades

EDIT: Forgot to mention: Krug is not getting more than 7.25 mil... but so many people wanna keep saying "ahhh bruins give him 8+" so thats why i did that lol

Just like a first line Center stuck behind another first line Center isnt a second line Center (Crosby x Malkin)

No way Sweeney is giving Krug over $8 million. Marner deal is nowhere near realistic. Krejci in a deal for Toews yeah the Hawks say no. You're still 3 players short and over the cap by some $5.234 million.

True, Not for those pieces anyways, Marner would easily cost McAvoy and then some. And Sweeney hangs up on Dubas.

"some bottom six prospects" is the first problem

But more importantly, the value doesnt matter, bruins DONT WANT Burnsy

Urho: Solid Top 4 dman
Frederick: Great middle 6 forward prospect
Bjork: Top 6 potential Already middle 6
JFK: middle 6 to top 6
and a 1st

Those are some serious homer stretches, you seriously think all those guys have sky high potentials when the bruins system is usally ranked around 30th in the league? Very doubtful

Of course, anyone can. But thats the point
Originally i thought Frederick was a top 6 C prospect, I have learned he is more of a grinder type and thus only a middle 6 (think of Shaw) type guy
Same with JFK, but he could still be if he wants to play in America (which is why i said middle 6)
Urho is top 4, thats just known\
And Bjork is currently a middle 6 forward who is coming from college and can develop into a top 6 guy still (now that he has playing time)

Anyone can be biased, but my comments here were without bias

Anyone stating that a player 21 years old that will be 22 by the start of next season and has played a total of 7 games in his nhl career is definitely anything is offering a biased opinion. Urho may have top 4 potential but he has not yet proven he can even be an nhl regular

let me ask you a question... given what youve seen from the bruins. are you playing urho over chara? krug? grz? or are you keeping status quo and bringing him up when one of krug, grz or chara leaves? there is absolutely no reason any of zboril, vaak, even lauzon to a certain extent had to come up until someone left...

Sorry. Then i guess Kakko is a bottom 6 forward. Jack Hughes is a middle 6 guy for life. Jesse Puju is an AHLer. etc...

All of these guys have played more games in the nhl as teenagers then Urho has as a 21 year old. They very well could become first line players but none of them have proven that is what they will be.

Ok sorry. i guess Kirill Kaprizov ISNT the best NHL affiliated Prospect (hes 23) and Zegras must suck.
Oh and when Panarin hadnt played an NHL game at 23 he also was a bust

You get my point. You are wrong. Urho is a top 4 dman prospect with solid potential still

He's a top 4 d prospect but not in your words a solid top 4 dman that would be Carlo. I never said he was a bust but only a projection at this point.

"Urho is top 4, thats just known". that was the projection, not his CURRENT status lol. We were talking about prospects and their projections, so that was the important context.

If thats what you are caught up on then that was just your misunderstanding and its no big deal dont worry lol

Clearly he isnt CURRENTLY a top 4 dman lol, but he is 1000% a top 4 prospect. And the point is that i was told i was maybe being biased because of that. So i was just saying people know he is a top 4 [prospect]
