Would this be fair for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>You're right the thought of McAvoy is joke cause that wouldn't be close either.
You are absolutely wrong about eichel not being in that category.
McDavid and MacKinnon are clear cut above the rest.
Next tier would be drai eichel Matthew's point and schieffle.
Eichel is 24 under contract for 5 years. Don't compare to ROR this situation isn't remotely close. And neither are the players.
Eichel won't be traded for anything less than a potential replacement and some secondary pieces. Boston does not have anything remotely close to fit that mold. They won't want current players and won't want defense they have their #1 they will work around with dahlin. So why would your 1c return a #2 dman. It doesn't make sense.
I think I have been more than reasonable with the prospect of trading eichel but please not even adding your beat prospect is an insult</div></div>
I didn't say this trade would work, but it will be something close. I guess we will see. I actually think you are getting Boston's best prospect in Vaakaninen. If you are talking about Studnicka -- ok, I get that, and I agree he would be coming back in an Eichel Deal.
Eichel really isn't that top tier, he isn't. He isn't in the second if you separate McDavid and McKinnon0 I would actually put Draisaitl in this category. I think he could get there, but those guys got their teams to the playoffs. Eichel has not. There is talent around him.
Eichel is about a top 20 center in the league right now. Here is my top 10 young centers: Obvious not included.
1.McDavid
2. McKinnon
3. Draisaitl
4. Matthews
5. Barkov
6. Schiefele
7. Point
8. Petterson
9. Kunetsov
10. EIchel/ Coutourier/Aho

What do you think his value is? The thought of McAvoy is a joke to be honest.
Eichel is a good player, but he is not in the category of Matthews, McDavid, Draistaitl, McKinnon, Barkov or Schiefele. He just isn't. He is in that next tier and he wants out.
Just try and remember what you got for ROR, who... went on to Win a Cup, it turns out it wasn't his fault.
You will end up with something similar to this deal, maybe not from the the Bruins, but some team, It almost as to happen because of salary, or if a Guy like Pettersen or Aho wanted out.

Which makes most sense at TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shane_Kelly</b></div><div>First, I think Debrusk is a picee in the Hertl deal, hence the two 2nds to go with it. And Having someone who is elite defensively but doesn't produce is not what the Bruins need. They need someone not names Marchand Bergeron and Pastrnak to score. They don't have that. With this aging core, they can't wait around for these guys like Debrusk Kase and Bjork to find their scoring touch. They just don't have that time. If they want to win the cup one more time, then they have to sacrifice a piece like Debrusk or Kase or Bjork or Vaak or a 1st to do so.</div></div>
I don't disagree with moving on, per say. I think the Bruins would be selling very low on Kase. As you would Debrusk. I think they are both better than they have played, but I honestly think Kase ceiling is much higher. I think if you can get Kase healthy, he will be that secondary scoring. I don't want to give up the assets for as similar player. Hertl has also had troubles staying healthy and has only really had one season where he scored. He has one season with more than 22 goals. I believe both Kase and Debrusk could do that. I understand the center aspect, but... Krejci for one more at 5m is a good thing. He is still a 50-60pt center and has always been a playoff beast. Hertl will be UFA and seeking $. Again, I like him, but 1 season with more than 22 goals amd 1 50pts season.
Why Trade Bjork now? I mean obviously if you can get a team to pay on potential, then by all means, but not as an add on. He is cheap and finally playing well.
He is also a potential Seattle pick or lure away from Zboril/Lauzon. Doubtful, but maybe.
I need to see where they are closer to deadline. I am feeling more comfortable with Studnicka. This call up has been noticeably different.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shane_Kelly</b></div><div>Lets face it, Kase deal was a mistake. Bruins took a chance on him and it has not paid off, so it's time to move on. When Kase is in the lineup, he has proven he is not a top 6 forward. But I think moving Debrusk in the Herlt deal will be enough.</div></div>
I am not sure how you can say that and then say that you think Debrusk is enough to get Hertl.
Health is certainly a concern for Kase - No doubt, but you said when healthy he isn't a top 6. Interesting because statistically they are almost identical. Kase is cheaper and under team control. They are pretty much the same age as well.
Debrusk played in 13 playoff games and had 4 goals.
Kase played in 11 playoff games and had 4 Assists.
Debrusk has 4pts (1 goal) in his last 16 regular season games.
Kase has 1 pt in 7.5 games with the Bruins.
Kase is also ELITE defensively. JD, not so much.
I get the health thing, and he needs to finish more, but it's there. Thing about stats is they tend to balance out. Yes he is 0 for 26 on SOG since joining the Bruins, but that won't last. He'll go 6/9 over some stretch. He is creating chances. New team, Covid, and injury. I am not willing to call it a mistake. He isn't getting benched. He isn't a empty shirt. He just isn't finishing. Which - JD has 1 goal. One.
If they can get Kase back healthy. It's huge.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsFan35</b></div><div>I know. I’d drop Krejci anyways and let Coyle/Studnicka figure it out, but Hertl is one of my faves. The first will be late in a weak class, Bjork isn’t anything special, and I’m not worried about losing a third. All those pieces are expendable, except for Vaak which would hurt but Lauzon, Grizz, and Zboril have been great when healthy. I think Hertl would be worth it.</div></div>
They can't trade Vaakanainen without getting a D back IMO, unless they really think he can't hang, or they really like Lohrei, Achan or FA. They will more than likely lose One of Zboril, Gryzelcyk or Lauzon to Seattle. I guess Kase, Bjork and Frederic are on the table too, but I'd take one of the D unless Kase comes back flying, in which case the Bruins would protect him over Bjork or Frederic.
I also don't like the idea of bailing on Bjork now. He is noticeable. Pretty much every night. That can not be said for anyone else except the 1st line.
He feels like Blake Wheeler 2.0. He is so close...

Ug, I disagree. He has one season over 50pts. One.

5) Debrusk
6) Ritchie

my Guess is Zboril. Most upside. Slow developer but keeps getting better, or Kase, if he can come back and stay healthy. Depending on others available - could also be Bjork - I feel like there are more good defensemen available.
Would love the Bruins to trade Senyshyn and a 2nd for Seattle to leave everyone alone. Might actually be plausible if Senyshyn keeps playing well.

The Preds 2 Paths - PT2 - tear down
The Bruins have no interest in this deal.
Forsberg is better than Debrusk, but not by anywhere near Studnicka and a 1st (& Senyshyn). They have a ton of depth at wing and don't really need him. Not two for 1.5 years.
Not when Studnicka looks legit and you even reference and trade Debrusk for a good prospect and a 1st (which Nashville doesn't need). Huh?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabresspoonz3737</b></div><div>one of the worst eichel trades ive seen. starts with mcavoy</div></div>
It's not fair value. But I would say a McAvoy trade starts with Eichel.
I know you think Eichel has as much value as some of the other centers but he doesn't. With the way McAVoy has played this year, he has more value. #1 D have more value than #1C in my opinion. Or AT Least these two
McAvoy was solid defensively and were hoping to see his offense and puck carrying improve. It has. He is Literally leading one of the best and youngest defense groups in the NHL. You can't really have it both ways.
The thing buffalo fans seem to keep overlooking is that as good as Eichel is, there is a cloud over him. Can he win? He has had some talent around him. More than Say a McDavid has had and he has been able to get his team into the playoffs. That can actually be said about pretty much all the other centers EIchel is compared to.
He also couldn't win at BU with an absolutely stacked team that should have won.
There is no doubting his skill, but he has a bit of Jumbo Joe in him until he proves otherwise.

Off Season
I don't see them walking away from Krejci IF he resigns for 5 or less on 1-2 years. He doesn't seem to want to leave, so. I feel like a 4m x 2 years is coming or 1 x5. It gives them a couple years to let Beecher, Studnicka, FA or other to develop. They aren't strapped for cash.
No reason to Let Krejci walk. He is still productive.
I don't get the Seattle Trade. I don't think a 3rd is enough for Moore. They could just take Zboril. I also don't see the point. Moore has not been an issue. Not him or his salary. He is an overpaid 6-7th dman. He should be making half, but I don't want to give up any assets to rid myself of a useful guy who is taking up 1.25m more cap space than he should be. Not when they don't need that money.
Where did Kase go? Not sure why everyone is so down on him. I know he hasn't scored, but it's been 7 regualar season games, and it's right there. you can see it. Good thing about stats is they balance themselves out. His shooting % will not end season at 0%. He will be right around 9% - assuming he plays again.

It is way too much. Assuming the Bruins don't make the trade to let Seattle Claim him. That means they lose Gryzelcyk too. So they lose 4 years of Grzelcyk, 6 of Vaakaninen and Lauko, plus the pick. I don't think it makes them that much better. Lauzon has been very good. I think Eckholm is better obviously, but I am not sure how much of an improvement over the way Lauzon has been playing.
Point being the Bruins could have dealt with their LD "issues" in the offseason. They chose to go young, and they haven't been let down, I see no reason to bail now. They would love to add Eckholm, but they won't give up that much. It's a year and half before he gets a huge payday. It's just not worth it.
Grzelcyk is criminally underrated too.
I also believe Lauko will be a Star in the league. A Poor man's pastrnak 25g 35a

He isn't very good. A) colorado has/had been looking for defense for a long time and realized he wasn't the answer B) Toronto who has been looking for defense for a long time realized he isn't the answer C) the Bruins who had torey krug who is a younger and better version let him walk because he can't play defense. D) the Bruins could have signed him without giving anything up. They made a decision to go young and have given up the least amount of goals. They don't need to add a bottom pairing offensive dman. No. I will take Kevan MIller 100 times out of 100 Over Tyson Barrie.
