Thread: Wheeler trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>Sabres decline, and that’s ridiculous
We aren’t trading a guy that wears an “A” for your egregious Cap Dump
You’d have to pay us *significantly* to take Wheeler off your hands

And why would be he waive to come here anyways??</div></div>

From Frank Seravelli "The early sense is Wheeler may be willing to consider a proposed destination that also is not on his list, if it’s a proper fit for his family and career." So, who knows maybe it would be a team like Buffalo. Id disagree with him being described as a "cap dump", he's still a solid NHL player who can play on any teams PP, and contribute at 5 on 5, he has 106 points in his past 115 games. He's not ascending, but he's also not regressing at such a rate where you'd scratch him or bury him in the AHL for example....Oh, and he wears a C, not just an "A".

Only Eakin had a good FO % but it is unlikely he will be wearing a Sabre sweater next year.

Thread: Boston taking this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DDossett</b></div><div>So do you like the deal? Is there something there the bruins would like in cap savings and a scorer?</div></div>

the cap savings is nice for foligno wise but haula is on a steal of a deal his 5v5 offence and defence has been amazing and since moving to the 2nd line has been on a 60+ point pace in 82 games hard to find that for 2.35 mill.

if foligno was making 2-2.5 mill i wouldnt move him, his defence has been great he is a solid leader bring good physicality which is needed in playoffs and he has an unrelentless motor he is always hustling even his play driving and offence has improved as the season has gone by

i like olofsson but his style of play doesn't fit boston a whole lot, he is bad defensively and doesn't play physical literally everything B's pride themselves on, he most likely doesn't beat debrusk for RW1 as debrusk is hot and has took a rather big step in his game looks better then he did back before the covid seasons
debrusk currently has 22 5v5 goals out of 24 most those goals coming within the last 30ish games
just a comparison
laine only has 21
svechnikov 21
rantanen 20
B tkachuk 21
E Pettersson 20
william nylander 19
brayden point 18
tom wilson 18

and all those guys are called great scorers some even called elite scorers yet debrusk is outscoring all them 5v5 even in Bruins rather more defensive system and could potentially be higher in total goals if he played PP1 yet no one wanted to even give a 2nd for debrusk at the TD

so ya he doesn't beat out debrusk and his solid all around 200ft game and oloffson would play 3rd line he doesn't fit the design of that role, though is more skilled the frederic, frederic is the near definition of a third line hitter and he has good chem with coyle and smith they have been very successful since being put all on the same line.

value is pretty decent production wise kinda but i just don't think it works out for either team boston style of play doesn't work with olofsson or bjork and i just don't think haula or foligno would help buffalo enough to compete

Thread: Boston taking this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lambchopz</b></div><div>Foligno has negative value as of rn and Haula has little. You could probably give them a 4th and they say yes 110%</div></div>

Haula is the bruins second line center.

Since becoming the bruins second line center (all of 2022), he’s third on the bruins in even strength points, with 35 in 52 games. For reference, that’s more than guys like kadri, nylander, Tavares, Calgary’s 2nd line center only has 25 over the same stretch. Bennett is florida’s second line center right? He has 27. Point is playing 2nd line center for tampa currently. He has 23. O’Reilly for the blues. 26. Do you want me to keep going through all the good teams in the NHL and what their second line centers do?

Little value, for 2 million and change for this year and next? Really?

Thread: Olofsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DDossett</b></div><div>...The best part of this deal is <strong>you get 2 shots</strong> at the same caliber player and dont have to worry about the ufa contract negotiation.</div></div> Actually <strong>three</strong> Georgiev, Kravtsov, and <strong>2022 2nd</strong>.
As I said, "...make this trade hoping Kravtsov and Georgiev would turn into decent players."
In retrospect if this was offered to the Sabres by Drury, Karmanos would do cart wheels all around Key Center.
Georgiev or Kravtsov may not be traded for a second round pick, but they each have a ceiling of a first round pick.

EDIT: <a href="/users/Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</a>
Rock the boat replace the 2nd with Chytil.
LOL
