Bergeron shouldn't go anywhere. Krejci should be a trade piece but we would have to eat some money in order to do that. Marchand right now is our BEST trade piece. He's at an all time high for trade value. Who needs a scoring winger that will give good dmen?? ST LOUIS! ANAHEIM! MINNESTOTA! Sweeney, pull it! Spooner isn't a bad bait either. With all those centers, why do we need spooner now? He sucked on the wing.Sweeney can't make a trade like Chiarelli could and thats a problem. You have to make risks as a business man. Sweeney makes BAD risks.Quoting: LeafsFan
In all serious, I know the Bruins have some amazing pieces, but could it be time for a rebuild? I know it seems early given their recent historic success but if they started now they could fetch some unbelievable returns for the likes of Bergeron, Krejci, Marchand and even ship out Chara and Rask for some decent hauls
St, Louis? Pietrangelo is the only defenseman that I would move Marchand for in a deal.
Anaheim? Lindholm is the only defenseman that I would move Marchand for in a deal.
Minnesota? I would not move Marchand for any of their defenseman.
So if Sweeney is "pulling!" a trade with Marchand included for any player NOT named Lindholm or Pietrangelo, then he should be fired on the spot, because Marchand >>>>>>>> Shattenkirk, Dumba, Fowler, Brodin.
You want to "win it now," and be a Cup contender, yet you want to move our best offensive forward for a defenseman who isn't going to make us any better. You weaken our offense (and take Marchand out of it. It becomes really ugly) for a minimal upgrade on defense. You think it's a great move, but looking at the whole thing, it's a lateral move at best, because the Bruins are not 1 top 4 defenseman away from being where you want. You severely weaken their top 6:
Beleskey -- Krejci -- Pastrnak
Vatrano -- Bergeron -- ?????
Woof...... That gives me heartburn.
