Thread: opening night roster 17-18
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Threw up in my mouth when I saw these deals. Boston getting hosed in the Krejci deal and Rask is a top 10 goalie with a NTC and he wouldn't waive to go to ARI. Not to mention Mike Smith is complete trash. The DET deal is also terrible, why would they move back in the 1st to gain a 2nd a 4th?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BreKel</b></div><div>That Arizona deal is an all timer! We get back a worse goalie who is barely cheaper than Rask...But hey! We get 3 draft picks as well. Please don't tell me the reasoning behind that deal is because Hayes' contract seems 'immovable' to you. Poor attempt here, re-assess.</div></div>
Mike Smith is an average goalie to bridge the gap for the next goalie, Subban, McLntyre, or Vlader

Thread: Blow It Up
Andrew Ladd who has done nothing for you this far and is a complimentary player, and Travis Hamonic who is a solid Defensemen, that I would love to see in Boston but retaining both their salaries isnt going to sweaten the pot anywhere near close enough for Don to give up Carlo, Beleskey, Heinen, Senyshyn, and a 1st. Carlo's stock is way up right now as it should be. the way he is looking right now he could shape up to be a very solid number 2 D man. Beleskey and Heinen are both liked in Boston but that doesn't make them untouchable by any means. But Senyshyn at the time of the 2015 draft seemed to be a reach with the 15th overall pick but is on track for back to back 40+ goal seasons with the Greyhounds in the OHL so somebody would have to make a really good offer to Boston just to get Senyshyn. and you want a 1st from Boston who probably wont make the playoffs.

Thread: A reasonable Landeskog trade for Boston, read description.

With that said, you do realize Zboril although a good prospect, alone wouldn't be enough for Landeskog. A 1st and a secondary lesser piece would have to be included. I mean LAK paid essentially Zboril, Jones and C Miller for 1 year of Lucic! Landy is younger, signed long term and cheaper than Lucic was.</i></div></div>

Oh of course I do, I have a deal up on here for landeskog. I've just seen too many "I wouldn't even trade zboril for landeskog" which doesn't make sense. I said "headlined" btw. I should have went more in depth but what I meant is that he was one of the big pieces going back.

Also. For rodden: you said 3 reasons why you wouldn't trade for landeskog. You listed 4 options. Can't count, bruh? Lmfao</i></div></div> ok Brekel please explain to me why Boston needs Landeskog, and then explain why you would be ok with trading Zboril, and i hit 3 by accident... its right next to 4. out of all the Bruins prospect D men, you really only need one to be the next guy. and nobody knows who that is yet so why would you trade away your odds of it being Zboril, a highly ranked prospect who projects to be a solid NHL d man and who knows where he can go from there. but it only has to work once with the blue line and then the rest of the pieces will fall into place. you don't win the stanley cup without a stud on the blue line. the more prospects you have the better your odds get at having a Doughty, Letang, Kieth type player on the back end already in your system.

I can understand Bruins fans not wanting to see Carlo and McAvoy dealt, but the Zboril stuff is just Bruins fans showing their true colors. if you can land Landy for a package headlined by Zboril, you do it everyday and twice on Sunday.</i></div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div><i>I think everyone was impressed with McCavoy at the WJC. He looks like he's going to be really good. With that said, is it not slightly hasty to go all over the moon for a player because of one championship? We do this as fans of all teams. Not just Boston btw. How many guys had great WJC to end up being decent but not elite players? Tons!! I'm not saying McCavoy won't be a star, I think he very well might but its safe to say using the WJC as basis for a players value against a true tested NHL'ers is a dangerous game.

I wouldn't trade McCavoy either but anyone who says Landeskog is an average player is being biased. I've been watching McAvoy at BU for a little over a year now, this kid is going to be a stud Landeskog is a 20 goal scorer tha'ts not being biased, that's stats. hes not going to all of a sudden come to Boston and score 30 or 40 goals. hes a good player, but you don't trade possible great players for good players.

One of the biggest problems on this site is posters feel the need to put down other players in a trade for their teams players in order to make their point seem more valid. That's just being petty. Its ok to like McCavoy or Zboril or etc more then you do Landeskog. That doesn't detract from the fact Landeskog is a good player. Don't just look at the player of this year. Look at his entire sample size! Landeskog is up their with Simmonds, Lucic and other power forwards of that ilk. Maybe not as nasty as those but is younger and has many more good years ahead then the other two do.</i></div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>I like Patrick Rodden's logic. Unless the Bruins give back money to the Avs, what would be the logic in getting 5.5m Landeskog? Bruins would be much better to to hold onto their assets and make a run at Shattenkirk which might only cost 6.5m.
Coga, you have a better feel of the situation in Denver. Betcha Sakic and the owner are really worried about their team. If they can't win with all that high priced players. Landy, Duchene, MacKinnon, Barrie, Johnston and Varly...that's a lot of money tied up going nowhere. Six guys making 45% of the cap...and with term. Some of those guys have to leave....somehow. Maybe Sakic too.</i></div></div>No Shatenkirk either! he's 27 going on 28 and he would create a log jam for all these kids too, just let the kids come into their own, I promise Bostons D will be one of the top groups in the league just give it time

I mean you could go back and read the description of the trade or the comment he posted afterwards stating this is what COLORADO IS LOOKING FOR AND WHAT THE RUMORS HAVE BEEN SAYING rather than sound like an ass commenting?

Also, come on, no one is saying you have to like Landeskog or the trade offers posted for that matter but saying he's an average LW is just silly.</i></div></div>Landeskog is a 20 goal scorer, I'm sorry but that's not elite.
