If Florida is trading Ekblad it would be because of cap

Being the 7th worst team in the league and only 2 points away from being the 5th worst 95% of your team should be available.

Who’s more valuable, Reinhart? Or Ekblad? In your opinion

Wow, interesting trades and I mean that in a good way. I’d say those are pretty fair. Of course you’re gonna hear people say the complete opposite, but I’m with ya on these.

Boston most likely passes on Gavrikov. Lohrei should be taking a spot in the top 4 sooner rather than later and they'll need a third pairing guy at most

Watching the last couple Bruin games Lohrei looks like he’s almost ready to be a full time NHLer so one yr of Gavi as a safety net could benefit him.

RD are apparently one of the hardest position to find in hockey so Ekblad is arguably more valuable, but I'd rather have Reinhart over him tbh

Yeah but Fiala isn’t worth 3 mill more than Batherson

Outside of Stutzle OTT doesn’t have anyone close to offensive ability of Fiala. Could you imagine the two of them together? Michael Jordon and Scottie Pippin type of magic right there.

I wanted him before Debrincat , we were in on him.

But the offence isn’t the issue with the Sens . It’s everything related to lowering the goals against, from 2 way forwards to defensive Dmen to goalies

Great thoughts here smile

Too creative to happen, plus the NMC, but I would say LA got two first rounders worth of better team structure here. A lot of it is one year in duration though.

I would have been with you 100% about three weeks ago, but if I'm the Bruins FO and my choice is a 1st rounder or 1 year of Gavrikov and a 2nd rounder, I am taking the 1st round pick and rolling the dice with Lohrei. Lohrei has shown his ability to rise to the occasion now, so I have far fewer reservations about giving him a top 4 spot next year. They are in a re-tool after all, so if he faulters then it isn't the end of the world.

Batherson was on 80 point pace once Jacque took over, he isn’t getting moved for a side grade who makes 3M$ more and shoots left like 80% of our team already does. Great player but not what we need.

If Boston moves Ullmark it's to make space to add at forward. Gavrikov is more expensive and doesn't fill a need, so pass on him
