Thread: need to be a contender again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LPProductions</b></div><div>Not surprising, but that's still ridiculous

But back to the original point. You need to have a good team to contend in the playoffs (obviously) but it really is a lot of getting hot at the right time and getting some puck luck. This Bruins team has enough to do that imo. They're never going to get blown out in a series. Resource wise, I'd understand going all in again, going after lower priced targets, or sticking pat at the deadline. Makes zero sense to sell, not that I think Sweeney would ever do that.</div></div>

the funny part is it's not like they're playing bad. i think they hit 5 posts last night. they outplayed tampa and got goalied. in an 82 game schedule, that's going to happen.

Huberdeau - Dubois - Sharangovich

Honzek - Ruzicka - Pospisil

UFA - Weegar
Solovyov - Andersson
Kuznetsov - Spence

Markstrom

Even if I assume they want NHLers in return, I still don't imagine they'd be keen to increase their commitment to underperforming, defensively-suspect Fs to 19mil for another 7.5 years while ALSO trading away their two most valuable pieces of tradebait (each of which can likely return a 1st+) while only getting Jordan Spence in return.

Thread: something i want to try when Poitras is back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dugg133</b></div><div>Geekie is fine, end of the day he's a bottom 6 guy. Putting up points next to the best RW in hockey doesn't change that. I want to see what Merk can do farther up in the lineup though.</div></div>

Says who? He’s been used as a bottom 6 guy because there has been no place for him to play everywhere he’s been in the NHL.

He was a productive player in juniors and minors. Last season his 5v5 point production per minute was 52nd in the league. For perspective there are 192 “top 6” slots in the NHL.

He’s producing, playing well, the line works. Leave it alone. (Something Monty is incapable of LoL)

My guess is he goes back to AHL when Poitras returns, unless they are willing to play him on 4th line. A possibility, but he does not fit a 4th line role. Plays a very soft game.

Thread: In my ideal world
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Ullmark comps

Fleury: older coming off vezina win, 3.5x3 went for 2nd
Lehner: same age, coming off 3rd place vezina. 2nd+5th+prospect at 1.1 million at deadline
Kuemper: 2 top 10 vezina finishes, 3.5 mill, 1st+3rd+prospect (3rd was conditional on a cup win)

Your best case is probably kuemper deal if you retain 50%. Without that retention it's probably just a 1st</div></div>

You mean the player that was traded when Las Vegas ran out of cap room. Taylor Hall was apparently just dealt for Regula and Mitchell, so former Conn Smythe winners aren’t worth much either.

Go to Keumper for the last great goalie traded without cap considerations. A first, a third, and Connor Timmins.

Outside of cap situations, grear goalies don’t get traded. The fact that both of us have to go that far back is sign enough. GM’s don’t trade them. You can choose to believe that is because of a mystical “risk premium” or GM’s like their jobs.

Either way. I don’t trade Swayman for Mercer. Some of you say you won’t trade Mercer for Swayman. Good enough
