Ridiculous eh? Especially for a team that is rebuilding, they more than anyone need to have a good scouting department!

A 2nd round pick seems a bit much for Moore when a buyout could be really cheap, and the bruins aren’t in a bad spot cap wise.

Honestly I'm a Bruins fan, I would pay a 2nd but that's just me. A buyout would be cheap but keep in mind he has two years left not 1, so the buyout would last 4 years. They could use that money to resign Reilly, Krejci, Rask, and Hall.

Plenty of money to re-sign Reilly, krejci, rask, hall, and carlo. The difficulty is the year after when mcavoy will likely cost 10+. Buy him out then. Real cheap. Or just bury him in the minors.

I think that a team that has already had a first , two second and multiple top 10 picks is so bad it is still looking only to shed salary and pick up more top picks. How about trying to put together a winning team instead of taking horrible contracts to pick up high draft picks in a mediocre draft.

They could also just waive Moore. If he goes claimed then great, if not you save a little over a million in cap space.
