Description
BOS isn’t getting any major trade pieces at TDL, can we please stop pretending they’re going to👍,( now I’m going to pretend they do😂😂) I’m guessing the sweeny usual here, to little to late plays out again.

•Guessing JD stays in BOS till after season (I would like to see him moved but not sure it happens, and if he continues his decent play the top line should be ok)

•Sweeny acquires a depth D or two and maybe another bottom 6 forward (cause those are exactly what this team needs)

BOS needs (in no particular order)
•Top 6 RW few options out there but would like to have 1 extra year of term to allow Lysell one more development year and then have room for him for 23-24 season(if JD is moved)
•Top 4 LD Preferably someone in 25yo range, Sanheim/Provnov? Couple options but don’t see any happening really until next offseason at best (would need to move LD out)
•2C beyond Hertl not a lot of options here that are upgrade over Haul ( don’t care what they say, haula been ok could be a lot better with an actual 2C in place)
•Bottom pair RD ( slight upgrade over cliffy, I personally like cliffy game but beyond him we don’t have a lot of options for RD, can see Schenn from VAN or Braun from PHI) just some veteran experience back there is idea here

If I had to pick one major move it would be Hertl, and then get package with Middleton also to help out backend

                    11.
                    SJS
                      I personally don’t mind this idea, I like Middleton style, BOS needs big body dman who not afraid to use his body. Love the RFA status and wouldn’t hurt my feeling to see forbort and Reilly go in the off-season and plug in urho and Middleton, possibly zbroil also if he returns next year. So all in all not against sween depth d signing in this one
                      12.
                      CHI
                        Can see Sween making move like this, not totally against it, I like his play not sure on fitment though as LW is the absolute LAST thing BOS needs
                        13.
                        DET
                          Newly added trade bait, Again I’m not totally against this. I like his play, could be RW option and with 1 year remaining it would fit BOS timeline. Although the can’t travel to Canada thing could be a real problem in playoffs ( not really cause what’s chances of TOR making out of the first round???) and what’s chances of a BOS-CGY cup? Hard to judge value here based on that issue alone, along with UFA status after next year shouldn’t be exspensive
                          14.
                          BOS
                            Wish they would send him off for his own sake, SEA rumored to be interested. Would have to have replacement in place for him before moving though. And there really isn’t a whole lot of better options out there

                            I’m sorry, but this is one of the more incoherent thought processes exhibited on this site. Just all over the place.

                            I’m sorry, but this is one of the more incoherent thought processes exhibited on this site. Just all over the place.

                            How so? Please elaborate on how it’s incoherent? Or just planning on another degrading comment with no plan on conversing on the topic?

                            I mean to each their own. I thought it was insightful. I don't know if Gio gets moved or if so for much. I think he might just hit FA and return right back to Calgary

                            Alright, well lets start with the very beginning.

                            There’s no reason to think that Sweeney isn’t going hunting for a big deal. He’s done it in the past, and it seems like this is a good year to do it again.

                            Then lets go to the emojis. You realize every time you use one of those laughing emoji things what you’re saying is, “since i can’t actually come up with anything funny, I’m going to tell you that this is supposed to be funny.” Try just being funny.

                            Debrusk staying in boston - good here. I agree. Lone bright spot.

                            Then you have “sween,” - puke - signing a couple depth D. Who are these guys that are still randomly free agents at this point in the year? NCAA guys? Are those really NHL depth immediately?

                            So then we have this random list of everyone getting moved to different places without much of an explanation as to why? Are you just showing where you think everyone is going? If so, cool i guess. Seems kind of, well, incoherent, or at the very least disorganized.

                            Then we have the needs. If debrusk is staying, why is an RW the apparent number one need, despite Debrusk, Pastrnak, and Smith playing that position? I get that you say he’s moved. But right before that you say you don’t think he’s moved. Know what that is? Incoherent.

                            Then how on earth does bertuzzi enter the conversation?

                            It kind of goes on and on from there, but you get the picture…..Middleton on the top pair…woof.

                            I think he gets moved, not for as much as they want though. I think he would like Calgary but not sure about cost issue. I can see someone grabbing him for cheaper veteran option. LA could be option also, if the cost gets reduced a bit. I just personally saw best fit with NYR for little veteran leadership on a younger backend and low cost. Don’t see them resigning him though, just using for playoff run

                            Ok great, appreciate the feedback!!

                            I think sweeny gets outbid on big TDL targets is more of what I’m getting at, not that sweeny doesn’t have the balls to go after a big target

                            Emoji’s, lol that’s the most petty thing I’ve ever seen you complain about so not bothering

                            JD 👍

                            Sween- sorry missed a y there, fixed it! Thanks for proofreading

                            Signings, sorry your right, miss spoke there. Should of said acquires not sign, as I meant to trade for. So my bad on that

                            Trade targets list is list of where I think people are going, not getting into fit, cost, or as to why they would go there. Plenty of articles out there that already discuss these points. Incoherent not at all. Unorganized? Player moved on the right-Acquiring team on the left, want it in alphabetical order next time? I’m Not wasting whole bunch of time making it pretty. It’s quiet simple to understand player and where I think they’re going to end up.

                            RW is not the #1 need, it says right above it, “ in no particular order”. Pasta and smith are working where they are so not moving them off their lines. Don’t know how your so confused over this. IMO JD isn’t moved separate, now on to needs, hypothetically, if JD is moved RW is an issue that needs to be addressed.

                            Bertuzzi was newly added to DFO trade bait board this week, thought it was interesting topic so through it in there. Has played RW, is an upgrade over JD, and acquisition should be cheaper then some others, that’s all. Don’t see it happening personally. Again guessing JD stays put

                            Middleton is averaging 19mins TOI and stay home dman makes sense alongside Mac. He’s good at blocking shots and making hits. And also provides some good protection for Mac, who seems to being targeted a lot more this year. But other then that I guess could slide him down to play with Carlo and Grez back up top, also a solid option. And could see swapping them two based on who the match ups are, if it’s not a physical team or not targeting Mac then slide Middleton down the lineup but if it’s the opposite then throw him up top for a little bit to keep guys in check. That was my thought process anyways, not best option I’m sure, but viable one IMO. Again this is only cause i don’t think BOS acquires a true top 4 dman at TDL

                            Hope that helps make it not so incoherent

                            laugh laugh What even the hell is this? It basically looks like Boston acquires these players and deal them to other teams with retention. Having an issue even knowing what this means.

                            It’s just guessing where TDL targets end up

                            Yeah that makes more sense then, Pretty much have a clue where most of these players will land.
