Thread: Looks like a trade for Chychrun this offseason is all but certain
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Rentals at the deadline routinely get more than this. Why would half the offer come out when youd be getting a full year of the player instead of half?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Nah half is way too much. It’ll be a similar return to what they got for Debrincat .</div></div>


No one’s is gonna pay more then what it took you guys to acquire him, especially since you guys got him with 2 yrs left not just a potential rental.

I think Chychrun is starting to get very overrated, everyone hyped him up so much and then he got traded for half the return everyone thought Arizona would get even though there was lots of teams interested in him so maybe that goes to show what GM’s around the league value him at.

That being said I do really like Chychrun but I think he’s a better #3 then top pair dman unless he’s got a very solid d partner

Thread: Keller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>idk much about those two prospects going back, but this feels like a sharp underpay. Lysell or Poitras not being included probably shuts down the deal.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FoxYou727</b></div><div>Even if Keller doesn't want to go to Utah, the Coyotes don't have to trade him and this is such an underpay. Lysell would need to be part of any package</div></div>


I’m a huge lysell fan but I’d gladly add lysell instead of Merkulov and even add a bit more if needed.

Keller has 222 points in his last 224 games playing with the likes of Boyd/ hayton/ Kerfoot as his center and Schmaltz as his RW ( no hate towards Schmaltz he’s a solid player), imagine what he could do with pastrnak and Zacha who are a very significant upgrade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>ya, this ain't it.
Teuvo is inconsistent and just isn't worth that - stick with debrusk. cheaper, and the devil you know
poitras is not a winger
letting heinen walk would be bad business.

this is one of the sillier things i've ever read.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>Poitras played some winger in the past from what I read:

https://nesn.com/2024/01/bruins-matthew-poitras-learning-on-job-during-position-change/

But certainly can learn from Coyle in the meantime or Geekie slides out to the wing. I think that was a line combo this year before his injury anyway.</div></div>


Poitras playing wing learning from coyle isn’t a bad idea, he can take 40% draws, coyle taking all the defensive zone draws and some of the more important o draws.

Calling teuvo inconsistent and saying resign debrusk is hilarious, im done with debrusk buddy shows up for 2 weeks every 2 months.
He may be good 2 way but bruins don’t lack in the 2 way forward department what we lack in is guys who score or create opportunities for others to score.

Teuvo/ Tarasenko/ Toffoli/ Lindholm/ stamkos/ Marchessault I’d rather pay the 1-2 mill extra for.

Hell for what debrusk will sign for I’d rather go for Mantha/ Duclair/ Arvidsson
