Description
Before going off on bouch being a scratch that’s only for the start of the season work him into greens spot with Jones. If season starts in January I see jones and bouch taking 2nd pairing by end of February.
I know lots will probably say keep bear but expansion draft comes into play instead of risking loosing one of jones or bear I moved bear to fill 3c. Sucks to loose I completely agree. Nurse for debrusk is also expansion related. I only see this being possible if chara decides to hang up his skates after this season. I’m not going to debate why the oldest guy in the league might retire rather than play a season that won’t start till January and likely run threw the summer. I know Boston is high on a few prospects but to be fair are those prospects ready to fill that type of role that soon. Panthers trade I can see them using neal as a cheaper replacement for Hoffman in current dollars and term.

I mean if chara retired and krug walks maybe they kick the tires on a ld but not one that sends debrusk away. Why you'd move nurse I'm not sure having Russel and banning as a 2nd pair seems problematic. Trading bear too seems a bit rash.

I really don’t care for the AA signing but only did a one year to give a more fair viewing of him. I can respect the opinion of the many that think sample size was too short to walk away from.

Expansion draft. 7-3-1
Klef larsson Jones. Bouch is exempt.
I don’t really like posting anything that involves handshake agreements to extend after expansion draft on guys like larsson so just sign an extension and protect

You'd rather keep Larson over bear or nurse

Even if the season is delayed, if Chara wants to keep playing, he'll return.

And the Bruins can't trade DeBrusk; who is going to play LW on 2nd line then?
We have more depth on defense and it would be easier to replace Chara's production rather than DeBrusk's production because of that depth.

He doesn’t get the love he truly deserves around here. Without question he’s a physical tough shutdown guy. That won’t break the bank to resign and he’s most definitely a guy I want on my team come playoffs.

Kind of screws Boston in expansion as they'll protect McAvoy and Carlo as 2 of the 3. If they re-sign Krug as does Grz and they trade for Nurse then Boston has to expose 2 of those guys. My guess is they protect Krug and then probably lose Nurse, so they traded DeBrusk for a year of Nurse and then are left with nothing.

Swap the 2nd round pick and the bruins still decline. Value might be fine but it just makes zero sense for the organization.

Don't see them losing on protecting 2 extra guys. Trading DeBrusk also leaves a huge void in their secondary scoring. DeBrusk since joining the league is a top 20 goal scoring LW

Larsson is a UFA wasting a protection slot and losing Bear for a so-so #3C is an awful awful GM move. Keep Bear.. NHL requires puckmoving D. If you like/want Larsson you handshake agree to a contract after the expansion draft

Trusting handshake agreements shouldn’t be something should expect on a site like this. Is it possible sure but we can’t assume that

LOL people were relying on CBOs and #1 overall picks for the last 4 months.. but no we can't expect a handshake agreement for expansion draft. Even though there was players and teams that did that during the last expansion draft couple years ago.

If you want to target a C with Bear at least get a good one.. like Faksa/Hintz from Dallas

I don’t mind kerfoot and like the 3 year term reasonable cap hit. Aiming any higher than him I don’t think getting a second rounder included and moving a young guy like bear I want a decent pick to replace depth in organization.

Bear trade means the Leafs have to go 8 skaters/4 dmen in the Seattle draft or trade Dermott.

Russell and benning are third pairing material

Larsson a ufa. You dont have to protect him. You can baisclly make an agreemnet with saying you will leave him open and if seattle selects him, he can come back in FA
The proper one would be protecting klef, nurse and bear
