shea weber
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeces</b></div><div>Weber is and will be better than McAvoy for the next 2-3 years. Weber is still a top 5 defenseman in the league and you're not getting him in a trade for peanuts.
The cap is going up every year so 7.8 doesnt look too bad anymore. At 50% retained thats 3.9m for a top 5 defenseman in the league. Montreal could also take back one of the Bruin's absolutely bone headed contracts like Backes or McQuaid</div></div>
At least we know why Montreal does what it does.
Backes contract, not so good, but really not that horrible. He can be moved. He wasn't great his first year, but he was actually pretty good last year especially when you consider what he went through. If you can get 20/20 out of him for another year or two along with his leadership, it's an overpayment, but it's not the end of the world.
McQuaid's deal is fine. A) he is off the books at the end of this year, so... it really doesn't matter and hasn't hurt them one bit. Veteran NHL dmen get paid more than it seems like they should. He should probably be around 2m, but again, that 750K isn't going to hurt them. He is the perfect veteran 6th or 7th Dman. He is good on the PP and tough as nails.
You are paying Karl Alzner 4.62m and he is just about the same player. Sorry. Alzner is a little better, but still at best a 5th or 6th dman. You have this sloth for four more years. FOUR. ugg.
You are also paying David Schlemko 2.1m who again is very similar to mcquaid, although somehow he is less durable than McQuaid. One guy is a career +60 and one guys is a career +10. two more years. LOL.
Shea Weber is not one of the best dmen in the league anymore. He is not. He is too big and too slow. He is good, don't get me wrong, but the game is about skating and moving the puck now. Chara is still good, but not one of the best in the league. He is also signed for 8 more years at almost 8m. A) I don't see Weber's body type holding up at 40. I just don't. Big bulky guys don't last, especially with the way he plays. Big guys who are already a little slow - it's not a good sign that they are tearing tendons.
You are also paying a goalie 10.5m a year. WHAT?!?!?! Personally I think he is the best goalie in the league, but he was awful last year. Awful. 3.11GAA and .900 save%. All this with one of the best Dmen in the league, right? This should worry you. Especially to this in a Claude Julien system.
Weber is one of the worst contracts in Hockey. Right next to Seabrook. 3 years from now Weber will be pretty similar to Chara for the last couple. Chara will have made about 16m over the last three (Including this year) Weber will make that 24 in that same time period, and then 8m a year for 8 more years. YIKES!
While we are pointing out bad contract. how about shaw. 4 more years at 4m. Ouch.
Remember that time John Tavares wouldn't even take a meeting with your abysmal team?

Its possible to sign them. With this ACGM the long-term outlook has Boston around $30 million in cap space (assuming an $82 million cap next season). Even using the numbers you and <a href="/users/ngikas" target="_blank">@ngikas</a> have going on (say $19.5 million as you had) and you'd still have $11 million left

on a side note though, Murphy's sources are Murphy and he's as credible as Eklund, Hackerty and Felger

bruins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinsdiehard</b></div><div>I totally agree, and that's exactly why I doubt he would authorize a trade anywhere. He lived for so long in St Louis, and the nature of the contract that he signed ( NMC for first 3 years, backloaded with signing bonus to prevent buyout) seems to signal that he wants to stay put for the duration of this contract. Unless he and his family have a problem living in Boston, I doubt he would leave a potential Cup contender for a team that could afford to actually take his contract (i.e. Arizona, Carolina, Buffalo etc).</div></div>
Probably not unless he felt like he was no longer wanted in Boston. I think he'd accept a deal to a team closer to MIN/STL, but IDK that either team would be interested in him without Boston retaining. I know he and his family did struggle to adjust to Boston his first year here, but he also said that the organization did a great job helping him transition to being in Boston. I think if Backes gets moved it'll be after next season when he goes to a NTC.

Regarding Grabner, he completely disappeared for the Devils in the playoffs, so his cost as a UFA should not be as crazy as it could be.</div></div>
Left handed defenseman is definitely the bruins biggest issue, they have plenty of forwards they can slot into the second line. The second line next year will probably be Debrusk - Krecji - Donato which I would definitely prefer to Debrusk - Donato - Grabner. I get that Krecji has a huge cap hit and it's arguably too big for the caliber player he has been as of late but your second line is a huge downgrade to the idea of just bringing back what we had last year plus Donato. I also would have no interest in swapping Krejci and Heinen for the inferior Coyle and Niederreiter while also giving up a 2nd and a 6th in return for a 3rd rounder. If they were to keep their current core they would have Heinen, Backes (who probably should get bought out), Bjork, etc. to fill in the wing spot if Donato doesn't fit and they have a few centers in the pipeline that could slide into that third line center role if we let Riley Nash go ie. Frederics, JFK, or maybe even just Heinen. The young gun forwards will be getting better and the offense will be fine. The defense on the other hand could be greatly improved by swapping one of our smaller player (imo it should be grz) for someone like Hanifin. We have plenty of prospects to work with and we won't be trading more talent for less talent like your Krejci trade does.

Honestly, I think that Maroon would be a good addition to the team. He was putting up big numbers when he got to New Jersey, and if Backes ends up having problems with concussions like he did this year, I think it's more than likely that he does end up on LTIR. Eventually he'll be able to be moved as a salary dump but for now, I think this would be the best possible team going into a offseason with lots of contracts that are gonna get re-signed. If you have a better signing lmk though and I'll consider it.

Krejci's much needed blanket (i.e. Simmonds) - Flyers fans comment?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruinsdiehard</b></div><div>Then we will simply agree to disagree on that one. I don't think the Bruins make it where they did without that line as it was. They are pure magic, and it just shouldn't be tampered with by moving Pastrnak down and putting "whoever" on that right wing to play with Bergeron and Marchand. And if any of Bjork, Heinen, Donato, or someone from Providence is worthy of playing top line minutes with Bergeron and Marchand, why not just put them on Krejci's line? I think the answer is that Bergeron and Marchand would be expected to cover for that winger (i.e. carry him), whereas Krejci wouldn't be able to do that, and that might have a greater impact on that line's production than you might imagine.
It is interesting to look at Krejci's ice time. It's also interesting to recall that there was a point when Krejci was considered the Bruins #1C, or at least that his line (the KLH line) was considered to be the Bruins #1 line. But Bruins management has no one to blame but themselves for what's happened since.</div></div>
I'm more than happy to agree to disagree (it what we seem to do a lot lol). I will say though, it would be easier for Marchand/Bergeron to carry someone like Bjork or Heinen then it would be Krejci/DeBrusk. Now I'm not saying they would break up that line, but if they didn't I would be more than ok with it.

Yes! Tavares should be on the top line. And its interesting you bring up if thats legal because i was wondering the same amd even thinking a for several weeks what if a team did a trade like that and can they? This is good though. Any team with tavares is better with him.
