Is Dunn better than Grzelcyk

Description
So the idea is even though the Bruins have said they don’t want to add anymore defenseman, is Dunn an upgrade over grz?

If Dunn is better than Grz trade a first for him and then protect Dunn Mcavoy and Carlo in the expansion draft leaving Grz unprotected and now the Bruins have Zboril Lauzon and Dunn on the backend

It really seems as though the Bruins will for sure lose a Dman so why not find a viable replacement now by trading for Dunn protecting him leaving Grz exposed and saving Zboril or Lauzon from being selected in the expansion draft

👍🏻

They play similar type of game. Dunn is bigger but does not play a bigger game, has more offense.

The question is which scenario is better?

Adding Dunn and losing Grizz. Leaving Dunn, Zboril, Lauzon, Urho

Do nothing lose Zboril. Leaving Grizz, Lauzon, Urho, late 1st.

Yes.

Is Grzelczyk really irresistible to Seattle?

That’s the real question I’m asking

The way I look at it is that regardless I think the Bruins will have a defenseman taken in the expansion draft with the play of lauzon and especially Zboril who looks fantastic I think adding Dunn would solve the Bruins problem of losing a dman in the expansion draft

27 year old dman who can run a PP and under contact for 3 more seasons at under 4 million, I don’t think there would be many defenseman like that exposed to Seattle

Maybe a bit but not worth giving up a first round pick and losing Gryzzy for

Zboril has played very well this season would really suck to lose him after waiting since 2015 for him to get called up play so well and then just have him taken away

I'm not saying they won't consider him. He can play hockey. I just think they're gonna scout all year and figure out how to build a team that Francis thinks can win. But behind all the other offensive defensemen in Boston the last few years, I didn't honestly think of Grzelczyk as a power play guy.

It's only really a rumor. look at last night like I said before Berube did the same thing with Perron in 2019 benched him got a chip on his shoulder, set him up in a different perspective and he hasn't looked back since they did it with Thomas too. Dunn just sat a couple games, and now he scored a goal last night and he looked really good, and Berube after the game said he was happy with his play. I doubt he gets traded everyone wants to say because he's benched he's worth a 6th round pick, and Blues don't want him anymore. That could never be any less true.

Yes, if he's left unprotected, Seattle is taking him.

If grzelcyk is available there is zero question that Seattle takes him.

The discussion of Dunn vs grzelcyk is worth having. I have my side picked but that doesn’t really matter.

What you’re asking is if it’s worth losing grzelcyk and a first to acquire Dunn, and that is the quickest, easiest, no.

He’s the bruins top powerplay guy. Bruins powerplay is pretty good usually.

Totally agree w Bcarlo25. No matter WHO you lose to Seattle it's still going to be 2 assets gone to acquire Dunn in the end. I don't believe Dunn makes Boston any better. Save the first and hit on it.
