All of the trades make sense, but maybe a bit light on return to Calgary in the Boston and Toronto trades! Great job! As for Boston fans, apparently they think unproven Lysell is just like McDavid lmao
Bedard/ fantilli/ carlsson are unproven, all of them haven’t played a damn game in the nhl yet. You think their respective teams are gonna move them for backlund?
Mcdavid at one point hadn’t played an NHL game you think they would had moved him for backlund because he’s proven?
Lysell shows potential and for a team that needs to get younger and is about to retool until he proves us wrong he will hold a lot of value for us.
How about Boston counters with Matthew Coronato for Charlie Coyle, sounds fair you know because coyle is a “proven” shutdown 3C

Put it this way, take out Grz AND Lysell, still wouldnt trade a 5th for Backlund + Gilbert. BOS doesnt need a 34yo 3C and an 8th Dman, let alone trading away a top 4 LD + one of their top prospects
Bruins are fine financially now, your argument of having no cap space with weak Centre depth is false and doest justify trading for Backlund who Flames are trying to get rid of

Cap hell? Lol. They have 7m to sign Sway and Freddy. They are just fine.
They need a #1. Backlund is not. They are set at 2/3. Creating a hole to fix nothing is kind of dumb.

Sounds like you're really upset..... Maybe because your team blows and has no future?
The poverty flames and their tiny fan base make me laugh
They think their 25th ranked fan base by size can out hockey bruins ranked 2nd in size fan base
