Description

I know this season is still early but as someone who’s watched a lot of bruins hockey, I’m really not impressed with these players. If other teams feel like they have some value I say we get it now before they realize. Debrusk is just too soft and doesn’t get/keep the puck, don’t get me wrong he’s a great skater and has talent but maybe he could use a change of scenery he is not a player to depend on for scoring. Now griz, although I probably haven’t given him enough time at this point, he is not prepared for a major role on this team. Calling him anything close to krug or saying he can pick up a little of that slack I feel is just crazy... this kid has been fairly solid in a super deep defensive core but he is not ready to be counted on. He has the same issues as krug (undersized, easy to get off the puck) with only a quarter of the offensive talent. His contract is also just a little to rich for my blood. Clearly we’d need to get something decent in return for these guys or we’d be gutting the team but I would take calls on both these guys, hopefully get an upgraded forward for krecji so he actually has someone to play with.

Edit: Don’t think that’s a legit trade for either team, just showing the players I want out, and the type of player we should target in return.

You don't like these two players for x, y and z reasons....but you think you'll get Ehlers for them?

Sorry should have clarified, don’t think that’s a legit trade just saying, would like to get these guys traded and hopefully with some extras pick up a real player who’s a bonafide nhl scorer. Yea I don’t think that would happen. And not to say these players don’t have any value I’m just saying I’d rather we use a few assets that have value in the nhl and try and upgrade.

Grzelcyk has literally been the Bruins second best D and moving him will leave you with a worse defense. Ehlers is really good but you won't win with a stacked offense, meh defense.

Trade doesnt really make sense for either team. Jets just dealt Laine and need Ehlers play making and speed.
B's shouldnt trade one of their best dmen

You think he’s played better than Carlo? Personally I just find him soft and doesn’t really command the PP, but that’s me. It’s not like he was highly drafted with loads of talent(and yes I know guys come out of nowhere to be HOF’ers), I don’t know like I said maybe I haven’t given him a fair shake but I don’t love his play.

Zero interest in trading Ehlers for yet another smallish LHD, the Jets have too many of those types of dmen as it is.

Yes, Carlo has had a good start offensively but not sure yet if it will last. Bruins are generating way more scoring chances with Grzelcyk on the ice than without and they're allowing less (quality) chances with him on the ice compared to the other D. Grzelcyk has only played 5 games so far and Bruins didn't score much in the first 3 games of the season. Need to try him on the PP1 again but if McAvoy is better suited for the job, keep him, Grzelcyk will help more at even strength/5v5. Not sure how he's "soft"

Have to agree with this plus the fact that Winnipeg is without question giving up the best player of the three in the trade so they should say no.
