Half of that is not true. Boston has options that would be of interest, and you are not getting a 1st and 2 high end prospects +.</div></div>

Not saying "high end prospects." Depending on who the prospect is that's being added, a 2nd prospect (or pick) may need to be added for value. If I'm being honest, I think the only "high end" prospect in the Bruins pool is Fabian Lysell (who won't be involved in a hypothetical Klingberg trade). After that, you've got guys like Studnicka, Lauko, Vaakanainen, Beecher, etc. that are all decent prospects, but I wouldn't consider any of them "high end"

DeBrusk is more a cap dump &amp; reclamation project than a value piece at this point, so a late 1st &amp; a couple of the guys listed above (again, not Lysell) should be on the table IF Boston were serious about trading for Klingberg, which I doubt they are. As stated by another user above, Boston needs LD help, not RD.

Thread: A Strong Puck Moving Defenseman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Think DAL takes it but honestly considering that Klingberg will demand a close to $8M contract can VAN really afford paying four different D-man over $6M a year with only one, maybe two of them being actually worth it? Don't think so.

If they add Klingberg, they need to get rid of Myers or OEL, which is going to be near impossible with the latter.</div></div>

I'm not so sure Dallas does take the deal. If you're the Stars, you have to know a rebuild is coming up. Do you want to pay Boeser the $7M+ he's going to want (in addition to the awful Benn &amp; Seguin contracts and Miro's $8M+ contract) just to finish out of the playoffs every year over the first half of his contract?

I think the smartest thing for Dallas to do is stock up on high end future assets &amp; try to gear up for a run around the time that Benn &amp; Seguin's contracts expire.

With the cap space they have this offseason, even after signing the RFA trio, Dallas is in a prime position to take advantage of teams that need to shed some salary. That becomes harder to do with Boeser's contract on the books.

I think the value is alright, but I'm not sure Dallas is the right team for Boeser at this juncture.
