Thread: What would it take for Lindholm?
Love/hate Marchand also but this next deal he signs is going to be the one (IMO) "smart" teams avoid. He's coming off an extremely good year in which i think he over achieved so his base cap hit he will be asking for will be high especially if he has another good year. Like 7M+ high. Now add in the fact that they'll probably have to get him for 7-8 years i would think. Throw in a NMC as well. That's a contract that looks good now but not so good when hes 35.

If he's willing to take less than market value, then by all means lock him up long term. IMO at best he should get what Lucic got in Edmonton. Give or take an extra 250K. Him getting more than Bergeron just seems wrong but that's just me.[/quote]

I agree with you here. I think Marchand is their best trade chip right now, and when you combine that with the Bruins not really being cup contenders this year, I'd rather see them stack the deck with more top end younger talent, as they bridge to the next generation. I'd rather trade him now while his value is high, because otherwise, I think they will end up severely over-paying for mediocre performance from him down the road. I would imagine he will command 6-7 years at $7 mill per year. Once he gets paid - I don't see him scoring 35 goals + each year. I just don't think he's worth the risk.

Thread: Stamkos is the direct injection they need

No chance that sells him. He gets paid the same, no matter who he plays with for the next five years. First and foremost, he's going to want to go a place that he, and his wife, will want to live. When they shop a guy for a trade with a NTC, they get a list from him beforehand of teams he is willing to go. No chance, Krejci would put Winnipeg on his list.

Thread: Stamkos & Shattenkirk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsForTheWin</b></div><div><i>Anaheim should basically dump Fowler for futures, like STL should do with Shattenkirk. Both teams have serious Fwd holes and an abundance of dmen. They could use the extra cap to resign players like Perron, McGinn for Ana and Backes or Brouwer for STL. Plus Theodore is ready to get action, as is Schmaltz.</i></div></div>

Im not sure exactly how to handicap the trade value, but I think your assessment is off. St. Louis was looking for both Bruins 1st rounders + Patranak for Shattenkirk. One would assume, Anaheim would be seeking similar package for Fowler, especially since any team Fowler goes to, would have him locked up for 2 years. If Bruins sign Stamkos then I think it would make sense to reallocate $4 mill of value from Marchand down to their Defense. Especially since it'll be very difficult to sign Marchand next year, if they have Stamkos' contract.
