uhhhhh the boston bruins need defensemen.

this doesn't work.

uhhh then go get the best one out there Boston boy Hanifin.

A load of average doesn't mean it's a good return. Bad for Seattle. Easily will get a first for Wennberg.

easily a 1st for Wennberg huh? your funny.

that would be great! but, you know, for normal prices that have been long established over multiple decades. have a great day kiddo!

yep normal fair price like a 1st, which is a yr and a half away,and a former late 2nd pick Lohrei,who has rocketed up the charts because Boston has one of the worst prospect pools in the league.for a former top pick Hanifin who is 27 yrs old plays 24 minutes a night,skates like Bobby Orr,and comes from Boston.is that what you mean KID?

where lohrei was drafted matters exactly zero.

ya i thought that would stick in your craw. did you read what Rupert Mcdonald from the hockey writers thinks Hanifin brings?

why does Rupert Mcdonald matter? does he work for an NHL team?

but if where prospects were drafted matters, forget lohrei. i'll do better. how about a former first rounder? Jake Zboril. all yours.

Wennberg is a solid piece that can play two way and win faceoffs, but there are a lot better options to use with a first round pick other than him. Also taking into account that he will listen to a lot of offers this summer and it’s smart to get something before you can get nothing

rupert mcdonald is more dialed in than you are.he isnt some fan who has fell in love with his teams 2nd best prospect.basically what im trying to say in a nutshell is this. when i look at the bruins i see a hole in your top 4 on the left side,you have Hampus but thats it.Lohrei might get there but its awhile away,and Lohrei does not have Hanifins upside. Hanifin would absolutely resign in Boston. but the problem is the bruins have no picks and other than Lohrei or Poitras theres no real options. so its one of those two guys because Lysell isnt a option,and your 1st next yr.theres nothing else that could get it done.now i know you dont want to give that up for Hanifin because you dont value him that much.thats your opinion. but to say a 1st next yr and Lohrei is a overpay is just ridiculous,thats definately in the ballpark.and remember this is with 50 percent retention,and maybe some bodies move to make the money work,but there just throw ins. Jason Bukala liked the idea thought it was a very reasonable proposil,and sorry there Kid but i respect his opinion a tad more than yours, through your Bruin colored glasses.and again look what Hampus brought,and once again a very fair comparision. do you work for the Bruins?

With a top 4 in mcavoy, greclyk, carlo, and lindholm, they can look around for a lot more depth. I’m more concerned about Bostons forward depth for playoffs, especially considering the fact that they weren’t able to get out of the first round with Bergeron and Krejci last year. I think adding depth and having those top 4 d lock down, they become top contenders to win

getting defensive depth isn't easy.

and what i'm saying is i know what deadline rental deals look like, and you don't. simple. you haven't been able to provide one comp for a team trading one of their top two prospects with a first rounder for a deadline rental because it doesn't happen, yet you're stubbornly and incoherently banging your head against the wall and saying its a lock to happen. its a delusional look.

They have to focus on the big things right now. Forward depth is a must

defensive depth is always more important.

They have one of the stronger top 4 d core in the league

and we are talking about depth.

The forward depth is more important in their situation. Both pairs are capable of playing 20+ minutes a night. The forwards do not compare well to the rest of the rosters

again, you're talking about the top of the lineup when you're trying to talk about depth. these are not the same thing. defensive depth is always more important than forward depth. the position is of more importance, logs more minutes, and has a higher rate of injury. this is a 100% for every team. defensive depth trumps offensive depth. the market shows this with the prices.

Its not impossible some stupid team overpays, but lets get real o what Wennberg value is..... and it's not a 1st LOL

Wonder of Kylington would be available - would be some what affordable as well. Bruins should move some lower end AHL player and nab Trenin from the preds.

Well if they’re going to acquire defensive and offensive depth then they’re gonna have to trade some big names because they have absolutely no cap to fill their holes

right, so what i'm saying is it's foolish to trade two d men that provide very important depth for a forward that provides less important depth.

Mantha just went for a 2nd and a 4th. Wennberg is a 1st. lol
