Think Stanley cup winning 3rd line center that is going to be a key part in winning that cup. Coyle is very good at what he does. 1st and 3rd is probably a little high though. Would be likely at TDL though.

Kind of my point exactly. They are getting more which means we have even less cap to work with, making this roster less than that.
Prediction:
Sweeney moves a lot of players we wouldn’t think possible in the off season to recover picks. I’ll mock another one up for everyone to disagree with moving some key pieces.

You’re over the cap when DeBrusk comes back unfortunately.
Grze would (and should) go as part of the ARZ trade to make enough salary.
Clifton is mini-McAvoy and not sitting, nor Forbort (PK and shot blocks). I can see the leadership wanting to keep Grzelyck but does it make sense?

I also said, I don’t think the Bruins do all of this and should only do it if the results is people are saying “I can’t believe they got him for that” when the dust settles.
Bruins are a wagon right now and you don’t mess with that much. The only small gaps are 3RW and 2LD. Both players who will fill that spot are not hurting the team to any level. I’m more than happy going into the playoffs with the current squad and keeping our picks so when we “suck” next year, we have something in the cupboard to start the “rebuild.”
Hard to call it a rebuild when you have 2 of the best D in the league, top 2 goalies, and if they extend him; one of the best goal scorers in the league.
Also hard to imagine them sucking with those players in the lineup. Goaltending can cover a lot of team issues, but with the center position being as weak as it will be without Bergy and Krejci, the odds of them being a wagon are low.

For what its worth guess which right wing on this roster you just built has the fewest even strength points.</div></div>
Moving out Smith who’s been in and out of the lineup and almost no points to add in Kane is not shifting this roster in a bad direction. Look at the team he’s playing on as well.
Nosek is good away from the puck, but so is Toews
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Take out Kane and Toews from that trade and the Hawks likely accept.</div></div>
They both have NMCs. People seem to forget the Hall trade. A bunch of expiring contracts and 3 picks for them, while a fleecing, may actually be the only deal they can get.
I also wrote in my novel of a description that I’d only mess with the bottom of the roster and Grze who is 2nd pair D. While they are big name players coming back, it isn’t changing the dynamic of this team in the wrong direction as some of the 6 team trades that are floating around.

I don’t disagree that they probably need an upgrade for Grzelyck for the run over RW. I also wonder if nothing is possible on the D front, then a Kane add is likely a good move. It’s probably the most attractive deal for Kane. 3rd RW instead of having the play big minutes. He also can be a backup plan for the Bs if Pasta doesn’t re-sign (not ideal but how high is Sweeney in Lysell?)
Regardless, a 3rd and Smith is not out of the question. Little low, but if Kane only wants to go to Boston, they don’t have much chOice do they?
Swayman does not go in that deal.
Let’s say they do get Kane and use a 3rd party in the deal for a 5th/6th, then they may actually be able to make another deal.
While I don’t do this if I’m the Bruins, Swayman,, Grzyck, Lysell, and a 1st could be close to get Chychrun, and there’s still Reilly to dump with a sweetener to another team or keep as insurance.

This is an interesting idea. Not something based on trade rumor mills where Bruins are in on every big name target.
Both players can be better than they are. Worse case there is no loss.
Probably more likely than a block buster trade happening.

I agree with the other guy. Sweeney would probably only trade away DeBrusk from this current roster for a most consistent scorer.
On D, the only full time roster player who will go anywhere is Grzelyk, only if there is an upgrade on size.
With the Bs assets, only one of them is happening, and I’d bet on it being Grzelyk.

Where is Studs?
My gut is he makes the squad to not lose him on waiver wire. Wags, Folgino, and Nosek would be fine to lose on waiver IMHO. Short terms remaining on their contracts and they are at the end of their NHL/Bruins careers (2 of 3 at least).
Grier, Studs, McLaughlin should be the 4th line based on play.
Would like to see Beecher play but I’m pretty sure he’s waiver exempt so he will season in AHL.

Need to upgrade LD and clear some cap
I like getting Chychrun and also believe Grze is undervalued by capfriensly GMs.
Where did you hear that ARI turned down Lysell last year? Bruins NEVER made him available. The deal was pretty much what is posted here AND the only reason it didn’t happen is LA was a little sweeter of a deal. (From a guy who lives close to the Bs organization).
Grze contract expires when Chychrun needs to get paid which is what ARI is trying to avoid. Plus, he’s played top pair D and was actually good, not great, but good. He’s a great 2nd pairing.
The only real problem is that the Bruins won’t have a 2023 1st after they trade for PKane ;)

Never would I ever pay Barzall that much money. Sorry. They passed on him in 2015 do to his personality and apparently he’s turning into the guy they passed on.
Worse, is you’re giving up 4 first round picks for a guy not named McDavid. Double whammy.
If they can extend Pasta, I’d expect Bergy and /or Krejci to go for one more year, and then you hope that Beecher/studs take a leap forward (Studs played well at 2C remember… 2 more years of his hard work and more strength, he’ll definitely take the 2C).
Save the $11M for some UFA C that comes available.

Add Debrusk and Smith and it might just work.
Smith gets flipped at TDL for a 2nd/3rd.
Debrusk, if he has someone to play with, could be flipped for a 1st and Prospect at TDL. Makes the trade more reasonable.
Yes… other teams will offer more but Kane in the Bruins makes them an immediate cup contender, which is what Kane will be looking for to waive his NMC.

Sometimes very young teams want a veteran player with a strong work ethic to show the kids what it takes to play the NHL level. Not just because we have no players, you’re playing, but long term success.
Yes, Fliggy has performance issues, but they aren’t getting him to win the cup, it’s to accelerate growth of a very young team.
I’ll concede though. How about a 5th?

Would love to see Hague in a Bs uniform hard to do that without taking something on, which both teams can’t really do right now.
Although, would anyone pick up Forbort on the waiver wire? He’d be the first to go (but the math doesn’t work to trade him one for one, nor the skill).
Interesting to add Ullmark there. Not sure who’s available for a backup goalie duty for Swayman, so that would be a challenge. Again, cap issues for VGK to make that happen, though they do need a starter.
