Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Bruins desperately need a legit top pair LD. I have zero faith in Don Sweeney. It’s inexplicable that all he’s done is go out and get a decent RW, just to block their top prospect, ignore LW, and sign kevan miller to a bonkers deal.

So, who can be had? No interest in OEL. Don’t think he’s a legit top pair guy.
No, Carlo and McAvoy aren’t available. All futures should be except for Studnicka. Now that Hall is off the board, Debrusk probably shouldn’t be moved.
Who’s available that I haven’t thought of? Petro can’t play the left side, can he? I’m not seeing much out there.

First sentence of the description....

If the parts available are Vaak, Moore, Kase, Bjork, some AHLers and picks, Boston isn't getting a legit #1 LD.

Aim lower.

Top pair. Mcavoy is their number one. They need a number two d man. I never suggested getting, “a legit #1D.”

I asked who I hadn’t thought of for legit top pair guys, and you gave me a bunch of nobodies.

Ghost is trash. Yandle is a bottom pair guy five on five that’s a beast on the PP. Butcher? Seriously? Sergachev is a top pair caliber player. The rest aren’t.

All are upgrades over Zboril, Moore, Vaakanainen. That is the point.

And those are the level of guys you'd get with what you are offering.

Nate Schmidt traded for a third round pick. There ya go. I mentioned earlier I had a feeling his value may be shot due to Vegas not having any leverage. The fact that Boston wasn’t all over this makes me very angry. Vegas traded him to a division rival. Boston could of easily had this, wow.

Don Sweeney is very bad at his job. No vision. No urgency. Contradicting methods of success are abundant in his office.

Problem is, after Studnicka, the prospect pool is quite thin.

If you want Krug-lite, I'd think guys like Dunn, Butcher, Gostisbehere, Mete would be available

Brendan Smith, Thomas Hickey, Jake Gardiner, Jake McCabe, Calvin De Haan could be had at discount

But the guys you listed above...I don't think they could be obtained without dipping in NHL roster.

Guess schmidt could be.
