<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bsilk18</b></div><div>Listen, Im sure you guys arent bruins fans and dont fully understand the whole situation, so I accept that its not your fault.
Vaak is fantastic, and will likely make the roster soon. But think of the rbuins right now: Chara, Krug, Griz, Lauzon (all LHD).. Then they still have Moore who isnt getting the credit he deserves because he is stuck behind those four guys (but he is still a solid 3rd to 2nd dpair guy). If Urho was in Chabots spot on the sens (for exmaple) he would likely play considered a 2nd pair guy right now with huge first pair potential, but he isnt getting that chance. *IM not saying he is as good as chabot, dont worry. But your points that he is "unproven" mean very little because he hasnt gotten the chance to prove himself. Bruins reject this trade by a lot. If the sharks do also, thats fine by me</div></div>

Ok but Vaakanainen is the only valuable piece going to SJS in that deal. Meier is 23 and has hit 20+ goals in the last three seasons. Last season he had 30 goals and if this season wasn't cut short he could have hit 30 for the second straight season. You just don't trade a player like Meier for less than a sure thing and a player with 7 games isn't a sure thing. As I said before I think Vaakanainen is going be a very good defenseman.

Thread: Krug
I looked for anything relating Krug not wanting to go Canada but he did say he give Boston a discount to stay. The only way I could see Krug leaving is if Boston won the Cup this season and management doesn't want sign to a big multiyear contract. Boston does have a couple of really promising D prospects. That was before The COVID -19 pandemic now I have no idea. If he does leave Boston I'm pretty sure Detroit is on his short list. Both he and his wife are both from Detroit and they met at Michigan State. He also has worked with Blashill when he was in The USHL. But who knows. I think Boston is only worried about getting Chara another cup before he retires and that most certainly involves Krug. If no cup is awarded this season Boston resigns Krug for how much and how long I have no clue.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bsilk18</b></div><div>Bruins decline.

Meier is worth Bjork and a 3nd maybe.
Meier is worth Vaak alone

Sharks would be dumb to decline</div></div>

Meier has scored 20+ goals in 3 out of the 4 seasons he has played. His first season was the only season he didn't hit 20 goals. Bjork has yet to score 10 goals in a season and was drafted the season before Meier. So Bjork and a 3rd isn't close to what Meier is worth. I do like Vaak and think he could be a very good player but in his first 2 seasons as a pro he has only 7 games in the NHL which is perfectly normal but it also makes him unproven and not enough to get Meier by himself. I can understand Boston not wanting to give up this much for Meier but the deal isn't that good for SJS that they'd be stupid not to take it. With San Jose's current D you can easily say they need Meier more than they need Vaakanainen.

Thread: another scenario f the wings rule let the young play lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Maybe if they had 2 1st rounders but they don’t. I just keep wondering what would the team be like with Quinn Hughes and Trevor Zegras instead of Zadina and Seider. Add Laf, Stutzle, or Raymond this year</div></div>

I agree 100% on Hughes over Zadina. Seider I'm not ready to make a decision yet. Here is why Yzerman stepped down as GM so TB could promote BriseBois so he wouldn't go to another team but he was still under contract and join the Wings so he spent most of the time in Europe scouting players himself. Hall of fame player and a successful GM with 4 cups, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until he does something to prove he doesn't deserve it.
