Thread: Hronek

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beantownboy17</b></div><div>Younger defenseman with a higher ceiling? Move an unproven asset for a known one? Lots of reasons. I can't believe that you think it wouldn't make the team better, so what's the package that makes sense.</div></div>
1 year younger is NOT a thing. A $7M-ish new cap hit for Hronek next deal basically punt's $3M out the door to get 1yr younger/move sideways!!
Garland is not a BOS-style of player and is overpaid.

Moving Lysell to go sideways IF not backwards; is backwards.
Carlo is playing out of his mind and next to Mac is BOS current "#2D" in the playoffs, on paper...

BOS' need is a #1C - neither is returned w/ VAN.

Leafs trade for a position of need and the Bruins get a setup guy for Marchand that allows them to move Geekie to 3C</div></div>

Not bad - prefer a 2nd.

OK, so what's the '<strong>deal</strong>' that makes me trade my:

Hint - TML have nothing comparable ^ ^ for a "WIN-WIN" hockey trade...

Team is grossly unbalanced (Dubas + Treliving tandem);
Top-6 = solid
Top-3 = solid
Pipes = 1 solid 'hopefully' (Woll)
Bench = fail

Seems to be twirling around good enough last night!
BOS aren't going to win a track meet in the playoffs - they 'team you' to death not "coupla-skill guys" to victory.

2024-25 BOS (today)
Top-9 = solid
Top-3 = solid
Pipes = solid
Bench = solid
no issues!

Yes they can both get the $5M & term (for example UFAs out Griz/Forbort = minus - $6M)...
Coyle+Zacha this season had more points than Bergy+Kreji did last year; <strong><em>if it aint broke, dont fix it!</em></strong>

If he's $5M per/ 5-yrs term ($25M tot) they'd likely do it no prob.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrAicrow2009</b></div><div>Just wanted to see his value, And Fredric is very underrated so if Fredric could produce with Malkin or Crosby better than Rust, i would take Fredric</div></div>
He got almost 20G on BOS, mid-6 role, $2.4M-per.
I think you got to like what else he brings, or can do - honest to gawd grit/toughness, 200-footer.
PIT is soft...

I'd sooner re-sign Fred then trade so that too makes the earlier offer easy to cancel!

I like FRED - you asked!
That's my assessment/hockey-trade that's trying for a WIN-WIN for both clubs...

Forum: Armchair-GMSun. at 6:31 p.m.

Thread: How much are they worth 3

Rust > Frederick
<strong>But</strong> I think that's the trade-call BOS would pursue w/ PIT...
* BOS adds pick/pros; needs scoring
* PIT retains $1M; needs grit, CAP space, get younger...

PS: other notables for a "HOCKEY" Trade if above is BS = Bunting or O'Connor

Rackell is washed and overpaid.
No retention, no sale.
Even w/ retention, he'd be one of the last players for BOS to consider quite honestly...
