Thread: Boston Trades for Burns with retention for Backes and a 1st

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vr1995</b></div><div>people call leafs fan delusional meanwhile there are bruins fans are here justifying that this is a bad trade for the bruins, laughable</div></div>

It is a horrible trade for the Bruins.

Backes' contract is bad, but Burns' is equally as bad. He is not a 70/80pt dman anymore. It will be 50 this year, 40 next, and so on. NOT WORTH 11M. Adding him at twice as much as Backes means they lose Krug.

The Bruins don't really need a RHD - Carlo and McAvoy are just fine as 1&2. No need to trade a #1 for a 3rd pairing RD. He's not, but he would be in Boston because you are not pairing him with Chara or Krug.

If this was 2014-15 It's a great deal. It's not. Burns is old and it shows. Bruins would be in the exact same situation they've been in with Backes for last 2.

Thread: Crazy Bruins Trade

Yeah, This deal doesn't work for the Bruins.

Value may be fine, but it just doesn't help the Bruins - Dumba and Carlo are a wash (although completely different players). Bruins need the shut down element more than the puck mover. (taking into accout; age, contract and team control)
As stated, the Bruins aren't trading Studnicka; unless they get a (young) center back - Bergeron and Krejci have a ton of miles.

They hope Beecher and Studnicka are their replacements.

I almost don't want the Bruins to do anything Major. Bjork and Heinen are finally looking like the have confidence. I want to dislike Kuhlman, but he's making that pretty hard.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>nah man it's a good trade. don't be a hater</div></div>

I am not. I am being realistic.
This does not upgrade the Bruins offensively enough to give up Carlo. Maybe a little, but not much. Heinen and Bjork have 15 goals between them and are cheaper than Johnsson and Kapanan who have 16 goals. 1 goal is not worth Carlo a 2nd and Kuhlman.

Carlo for Nylander. That is about his value. I have no idea why people don't give Carlo the credit he deserves. Career high in pts, 21m a night as a shutdown dman. He has been their best D man this year.

Thread: Trade with rivals to win your thoughts

Also - I don't get bumping Debrusk. He had 27 goals last year and 15 this year... which is one less than the two combined...

Johnsson had 20 and 6 this year.
Kapanen had 20 and 10 this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>this is good</div></div>

Yuck. No it's not. Johnsson is Heinen and Kapanan is Bjork ( a year ahead of him though).

Carlo is by far the best player in this deal & Kuhlman is somewhat of an unknown, but in a very limited time he has produced.

Yes, I know Kap and Johnsson have scored more than Bjork and Heinen. I get that, but if you've watch Bjork or Heinen play they would put up pretty similar numbers if they were playing with the offensive talent that Kap and Johnsson were/are.

Thread: Bruins

Holy cow. Why? No.

Kuhlman is better than Malgin.
Heinen* is on a wash with Toffoli. Ladue is awful and adds nothing to them. They have petrovic if they want a vet.

Personally, I think Heinen is way better.

Cost for Toffoli is a 2nd and Prospect: Zboril & 2nd, Senyshyn & 2nd or Lauzon and 2nd.

Thread: Acquiring a RW Bring on the hate

Yeah, I am not sure this is enough. I don't think MTL can afford this when Byron and Drouin are healthy either.

He's a 30 goal scorer making under 4m a year. On a team where he is the only guy you need to cover.

Would love him on the Bruins, but I think it would take more.

I could see him playing there. I don't see a real contender going after/needing him, and he seems like he's worked too hard to retire. He just doesn't fit into the Bruins system. Minnesota for league minimum would be the only reason I think he wouldn't play there and I am not sure how much they need or want him. They already have Suter, Parise and Staal. I am not sure they need more leadership/Vet presence.

I hope he lands a job somewhere. Seems like a genuinely good guy.

Boston tried to get you to take a 3rd, but ultimately says Yes.

On a side note. Backes could really help a young team like OTT- Brown, White and Tkachuk in particular.

Not worth a 1st.

He wouldn't be a PK in Boston and he would be the 3rd or 4th faceoff guy.

Koivu is done.

Thread: Spark

Honestly don't think they need to do much. They Waiver Ritchie today.

Cassidy spoke about a lull/hangover in Dec/Jan in the beginning of the year.

Bjork and Heinen are playing really well. They need to keep Bjork on 2 RW and find a 3rw (senyshyn?)

I haven't seen anything overly concerning. The last two games... They got complacent in Philly cause they knew it was back to back and they spent way too long chasing around Bemstrom last night. Felt like they kind of dominated that game. Goalie had a real good game... it happens. They still have points in 8 of their last 10.

Don't get me wrong, they need to right the ship, but

Thread: Ritchie Brothers Unite

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>That’s the problem.

I loved the signing. Was always intrigued by his size/goal scoring combo in jrs and AHL. But he has been absolute trash. Least he could do is hit people and drop the gloves to protect his teammates if he’s not going to contribute. He throws 1 good hit a game and does little else. Waste of a roster spot at this point. Hell trade him for Zac Rinaldo, at least he knows his role and would have laid someone out last night.</div></div>

He is gone because of what happened last night. It is not Debrusk, Carlo, Krug, or Nordstroms job to go after Bemstrom. I know he wasn't going to fight, but Ritchie needs to go in there an get a 2m roughing or cross checking penalty... You know like Nordstrom did (although he shouldn't have). Say what you want about Backes, his glove would have been in Bemstrom's face.

Semantics.

To me, B Prospects are org depth.

A+ = Sure thing
A = highly shocked if not in top 6/top 4 roll (Stud, Vaak, Beecher)
A- = Top 9/ 4th/5th dman (Lauko, Shen, Steen, Lauzon, Senyshyn, Frederic, Andersson, Zboril, Keyser)
B+ = 4th line NHL'er 6th/7th dman (Blidh, Cehlarik)
B = Organizational depth - NHL call ups for a couple games ( Zech, Sherman)
C = Never seeing NHL.
