Thread: A replacement if Reilly misses time
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ritzy</b></div><div>I'll bite, and go along with you that he is good. I don't watch Bruins games so I can't argue how good/valuable he is.

It still doesn't change the fact that TOR is taking on 3M in cap and will need it off the books when Morgan Reilly comes back. Unless of course he's out for the rest of the regular season then I'd try and go after someone a step up from Mike Reilly.</div></div>


I like mike Reilly him being waived was a cap move, B’s had a choice between him or Forbort to send down and considering guys like mcavoy, lindholm, grzelcyk are already good puck movers they stuck with Forbort a more defensive oriented guy. Are depth guys like stralman and zboril are also more offensive too

Thread: Kaner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Look... I know Lysell and Lohrei rank highly in BOS's prospect pool, but compared to prospects from other teams, they aren't that great. Lohrei would probably never make it high enough in CHI's depth chart to get a real NHL shot, and, unless Lysell can find another level of toughness and compete, he probably tops out as a 3rd line RW on a good team. Then you have a cap dump and what will most likely be a very late 2023 1st round pick.

So, yeah, it might be smarter for BOS to just hang on to what they already have in their system. But if BOS is going into rebuild mode after this season it shouldn't matter a whole lot, because what they currently have in the pipeline is not even close to enough to build the next contending Bruins roster. What would be more important is holding onto that 2023 1st round pick.

Regardless, I'd honestly say CHI declines here. But I also don't think, if BOS is looking to load up at the deadline, that they should be looking at a player like Kane, since they don't really seem to need offense. BOS's current NHL roster doesn't really have any holes or needs outside of maybe acquiring more depth or bottom 6 upgrades, but then BOS has to consider upsetting team chemistry too. Either way, it doesn't really look like BOS will need to make any big splashes at the TDL, so far.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Duggysdanglers</b></div><div>Exactly!</div></div>

I remember when people said Pastrnak wasn’t strong enough or big enough or tough enough to breakout and here we are now.

Lysell’s skating was compared by a scout to only bure and mcdavid. He also carried swedens offence at the WJ and is playing very well in the AHL for it being only his 2nd year on NA ice.

Lysell easily is a top 3 prospect in chicagos pool, lysell was ranked as a top 40 prospect in the NHL by the ATHLETIC

Thread: Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Seven more seasons of Colton Parayko for a first and an A prospect? (A rental and an over-the-horizon middling pick don't count for much.)

I don't think so.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Point of order: Neimela is in no way, shape or form an A prospect.</div></div>

Niemela was an A tier prospect last season but he has not been that good this season. He is also turning 21 and hasn’t transitioned to NA yet and usually that takes a season or 2 to adjust to aswell.

Overall though parayko would be a good target for Toronto but I can’t see St Louis selling, even if they are out of a PO spot come TDL a lot of their top players are young and majority of their core is u31 so they got time

Thread: Breaking up the Band 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wulfgar85</b></div><div>Hey yeah I like that idea, using the other team side. As you are right I know the leafs cap off the top of my head. As for the players I choose on Boston, this one was done a bit lazy. I really don't know anything about most of the Bruins players.












I like Marner a lot but I couldn’t see Boston giving up a large package like that unless it was for a Center.

If Marner can play Center then by all means I’d do that trade
Marner at 9 mill, perfect set up guy for pasta and u26 so he has a future. Would make the bruins once again contenders for another 6+ years having a core of mcavoy/lindholm/pasta/Marner/Swayman. But again I don’t think Marner has much experience at C so they would most likely not do that</div></div>

Thread: All or nothing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I mean... Considering Foligno and Reilly are pretty close to neutral value if not cap dumps and the way Domi is playing, if he can keep it up, this probably isn't enough. Not to mention the way BOS is playing, that pick should be very late.</div></div>


Domi isn’t playing that good his stats are inflated by playing PP1 and also playing with patty kane. Also 4 of his 7 points are from the PP which goes to show he isn’t producing 5v5. B’s once healthy have their PP1 and PP2 locked so they don’t need power play merchants they need guys like marchment last season who produced very well 5v5

Some guys I’d be interested in bruins targeting would be along the lines of horvat, vilardi. B’s are also unlikely to target a rental if they are using assets like 1st or prospects as they need long term C options. Domi ain’t that guy
