Quoting: bhavikp27
Too much in the Coyotes trade. Crouse is a bottom-6 player that yould would need to overpay. O'Brien is an AHLer.
Coyle would not waive. Good to include Frederic. Can't have a "if player re-sign" as condition since last year.
Subban is a 6/7th D. He is not better than any of the Bruins regulars. Studnicka and Reilly separately are an overpay. both together? That's way too much. Don't see anyone who signed last year getting moved just 6-7 months later.
At best, Subban should be worth a 5th with half retention but I don't think Bruins should target him; I personally prefer targeting a good defenseman defensively which Subban is not at all.
I am not sure I agree with most of this. I Think Coyle would waive for Philly. He only has a 10 team NTC. I know they aren't in the best place now, but it's the Flyers. Legit hockey town. Close to Boston and I am like 99% sure him and Kevin Hayes are Real close.
Remove the if he resigns. Top 10 protected. Still a smart deal for Philly being 2023 pick. Of 2023 is in the top 10 so will 2024 cause it means Bergeron retired, they didn't replace him and Pasta walked.
I don't think Az is an overpay either.
Debrusk for Crouse. Debrusk is better, but you can't ignore 5m QO. He is far more expensive. 27g Debrusk woth it. 14g Debrusk is not, so he ends up UFA. Senyshyn has no real value and has publically asked out. He has a far higher ceiling, no doubt, but if he is anything more than Dan Paille I would be shocked. Taking moore is the 2nd. I guess a third?
You aren't giving Subban enough credit. He is better than Forbort (similar) and especially Reilly and Clifton. For Nj to eat half of his salary it's at least a 3rd. Reilly is a dump. Vaakanianan and Zboril can play. Reilly has some upside but paid too much and his what he is good at is a redundancy. Lohrei and Achan are very close to ready as well, or will be by end of Reilly's contract. agree it's a bad look to move so quickly, but he was their FA. Feel like it's better than say Fortbort or Foligno coming from somewhere else.
I am down on Studnicka. He had every chance to take it. He hasn't seen. Steen did. Zboril did. Vaakanianan did. Blidh did.
I was very high on Studnicka. I am losing that hope. He is 23 next week and is not a ppg player in AHL. Pastrnak had (2) 70pt seasons, an 80pt season and a 95pt season by that age. Debrusk had 62 of his 74 goals by that age. From what I've seen he deserves more of a shot, but...
