2. Way too much given up for a defenceman we don't need.
3. You missed Spooner - either traded for high round pick or signed and playing 3rd C
4. Move Vatrano and DeBrusk up, move Bjork to Providence and Nash to 4th C

Signings are accurate and Cap Space is good!</div></div>

Thanks!
1. I saw the reports too, but I don't know if I'd say he 'wants' to go there. Also, he's documented saying he likes it in Boston as well
2. I disagree, they desperately need a proven left shot defenseman to help groom prospects (McAvoy), and be the Chara's replacement.
3. Didn't miss, think they'll cut ties with him. I've been convinced since he sat in the playoffs
4. After Marchand, the left-wings are a crapshoot. However, I think Bjork will make the team out of camp. Whether he stays is a different argument</div></div>

As soon as Stafford says he's interested in Minny, Bruins mgmnt turn the corner on him. They always want character guys that WANT to be there. I like Stafford but these days of pro athletes wanting to take control of where they play probably won't sit well with "old school" senior mgmnt in Bruins office IMO!!
I think they could use a stabilizer so Miller doesn't have to play left, but they have the guys to groom them already (Chara. McQuaid, Miller, Krug). I wouldn't pay any more than $3M for that stabilizer
Spoons is an asset. Even if they moved him for a 5th rd pick it's still better than we have!!! But I think they sign him for 1 year and give him one more shot with new linemates
