Thread: dont take this seriously but value wise is it far off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>westleysnipez</b></div><div>You've gotta be ****ting me. You <em>hope</em> Lysell becomes a 60-point forward. When Batherson was 20, he was already in the NHL. There is no question Batherson &gt;&gt;&gt; Lysell, especially with the contract factored in.

Frederic for a 3rd is easily worth the difference of Batherson to Lysell. Bruins could pick up another 3rd line centre from another team for the same price.</div></div>

You are jumping the gun. Of course Batherson is the better player right now. He's also 5 years older and might be carrying some extra baggage. The Bruins should stick with Frederic's contributions to a winning team and Lysell's relative youth and potential at this time.

Thread: Possible bottom 6 options
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Now that's where you've lost me.. newhook played 2 full years with the avs, the cup year he was very sheltered and didn't have the opportunity to move up the lineup, but last season he did, not only did he not seize the opportunity to become a top6 player even with all of their injuries by the playoffs they played Lars Eller over him.
Colorado outplayed Seattle in almost every playoff game but their issue was guys like newhook and erod getting pushed around.. then Cmac comes in and trades newhook a guy that isn't reaching his potential for a 1st rd pick and essentially ross colton who's more experienced, had a higher compete level and an edge that newhook doesn't have... obviously time will tell but colorado seems to have improved their team with that trade.

I'm referring to guys more like kaut and bowers and probably olousson wasting away in the minors</div></div>

Loved the Newhook trade. Makes them a better team right now which is most important and gave them a D piece for the future.

Kaut and Bowers (Boston) are in the minors because they are just not good enough. Don't give up on Olausson. He's only 20 and just starting his ELC.

Thread: a big trade to go for it this year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fail4Nail</b></div><div>As of right now (our window of winning a cup) Kulak is a better player than Broberg. I never said he's a top 4 dman, but can play up the lineup if need be (2022 playoffs against the kings when Nurse was suspended or 2023 playoffs against Vegas when Nurse was suspended). You mentioned trading Kulak and moving Broberg over to the left side, that's not helping our defense right now, if anything it makes it worse.

All I was saying was we need a top 4, RH D, because that would transform our d to the below, which is good for a contending team, like us.

Nurse-X
Ekholm-Bouchard
Kulak-Ceci
Desharnais

It sounds like your hesitant on making any changes to our defense, because it would compromise Broberg's development, which we don't have the patience for right now.</div></div>

Signing Bouchard caps Edmonton out. There will be no trade for another top 4 D unless LTIR shenanigans come into play.

I find it amusing that you don't have patience for Broberg excelling in your top 4 right now because "We're in our Cup window now" but apparently you believe one of your two goalies can provide "We're in our Cup window now" goaltending.
