Thread: A lot left to be done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Trading Debrusk to bring in Kessel is brain dead move. Bringing Kessel in at all is brain dead move.

Don’t need to pay to move Reilly. He has value.

There is plenty left to do. This is not it though.

PS. You forgot Zacha</div></div>

I know I was more just messing with the Kessel stuff, ending it where it all started for him.

I didn't put Zacha on there because he will only be signed along with Krejci and Bergeron if there is another trade like the Foligno one but like you said he has the final say. I think Reilly has value but cap space has more value right now and it looks like there are very few teams willing to take on a cap hit for multiple years without giving a contract back. This is a rough ROUGH draft for sure, I'm just saying that the bruins have the most amount of work left to do in this now dwindling offseason. I don't see you guys being able to move Forbot (M-NTC) or Grzelcyk without giving up quite a bit since you'll have only one or two trade partners even possible. Its the dead part of the offseason so its just some things to ponder, who really knows about Seabass will play it all in the end

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Considering Kuemper was the team's starting goalie last year, I felt it was worth pointing out. There are rumors that MacKinnon is willing to take another team friendly deal. Obviously it will still be a pay hike above his 6.3M cap hit</div></div>

Yeh, he's been talking about taking that team-friendly deal but his agent is Pat Brisson which does make me a bit nervous. Hopefully, his best buddy Crosby has instilled in him that a team-friendly deal is worth it in the long run. My hope is a Jonathon Toews contract of 8 years and 10.5 per year. I think Sakic and company learned their lesson which is why we went after Georgiev, especially considering Avs don't have much draft capital left. Trading another first-round pick could be detrimental long-term and might make us look like the 2003 Avs with literally no prospects in the "cupboard"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Is there really that much uncertainty once Girard's cap is unloaded, and presuming Miller is only a rental?</div></div>

I say the uncertainty because Byram was seriously considering retirement and if Mackinnon leaves in FA those are two huge holes. Sammy G is a great top four defenseman who has proven with his iron man streak he can be a solid guy with higher upside like kimmo timmonen to me. Sakic/Mcfarland dont seem like they really like the idea of straight rentals either. I like where youre head is at my friend but if were trading for a 2c id rather a younger guy we can sign to a reasonable contract. This is a good topic though thats sparked a bunch of conversation, the same type of conversation that goes on behind closed doors in every front office. You seem pretty pragmatic so ill give you that but if were trading Girard id rather go after a guy like Byfield or someone like that. ( I know hes off limits im just saying that type of young growing player) cheers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Bjornfoot is a solid, younger, far cheaper defenseman and they already have him. Then you want a 1st, as well. Hoping is free, but don't get them too high, because they will be dashed.</div></div>

While I agree hes cheaper, I would argue your other points. Girard has been a top pairing defenseman for four years and is entering the prime of his career. Sean Walker would work for the Avs too, that piece doesnt matter as much. Blake has said he wants to start getting more established players and Sammy G has the potential to be very good for a long time with a very capfriendly deal for the foreseeable future. Either way I'm just throwing it out there, as an Avs fan I wouldnt mind the roster as is today with some of our younger guys stepping up to fill the 2C role, just think this trade benefits all teams involved
