Thread: Playoff Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhuntlol</b></div><div>works out to McCabe for 1st and 3rd, Kane for Voit+2nd, and Lafferty for Robertson. Toronto has the leverage in a kane deal.</div></div>

You aren't getting Kane for Voit and a 2nd, if the pick has to be a 2nd you are giving up Knies, and even that might not get it done. You might get McCabe retained for a 1st and a 3rd, but it sounds like CHI wants a late 1st for him without retention and I don't think a 3rd gets you 2 more seasons of $2m retention. Robertson doesn't get you Lafferty, either. Robertson is not worth what he once may have been. Maybe if he had already produced significantly at the NHL level, CHI would make the bet that the injury stuff is a fluke, but they aren't gonna bet on his health and that he actually becomes an NHLer, not at his age and with his history. Laff is worth at least a 3rd and I would not give up a 3rd for Robertson.

Thread: What a Kane Trade Might Look Like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>babouie</b></div><div>So you think the righting is in the wall for this roster because of their age right ??? So why would they not be all in ?? This is best Bruins team I have seen yrs . They need depth because of there age because they might burnout playing every night in playoffs . This team should be all in this year . The point of playing is to win the cup not to look good in the regular season ( Toronto ) the Bruins will go into major rebuild for next season or the season after that's a given . All the more reason to be all in now . I would sacrifice 5 seasons of bottom ten finishes to win a cup without question . As would just about every team and player because that's what this is all about . I am a hawk fan aswell and feel the pain but knowing I got to see my Hawks lift the cup 3 times makes it worth it . Very few fans have seen their team in this day and age win three championships in ten yrs .</div></div>

Yeah, because of their aging players and the thin prospect pool. I don't think BOS should spend big because they are already the most complete team in the NHL by a pretty large margin and they have a really great team chemistry going on. You don't want to mess up that chemistry. If they need to relieve some of the stress off their older players they should be bolstering the bottom 6 and adding depth with players that can eat some of those minutes. They don't have to expend all of their high end assets in order to do that. Those assets are going to be VERY important to BOS in the coming years. I mean, if BOS is offering and Kane and Toews want out and are willing to go to BOS, we'll take it. But I very much doubt things will unfold that way.

Thread: Seth Jones Options if Possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I'm starting to wonder if Jones and Chicago agree to mutually terminate his contract such that he can sign somewhere else at a sane cap hit.</div></div>

Did something happen that I'm missing? I doubt he elects to mutually terminate and I think they'd sooner just keep him than buy out his contract or retain anything substantial for 7 years. But, who knows what will happen. They might not care much about the consequences, at this point. They might care more about just moving on from Bowman's poor decisions. Which I wouldn't blame them for.

All I know is that if they continue to tank beyond this season and don't at least bring in a legit partner for him, he is probably going to be very miserable.

Thread: Potential Fits for all vets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>Think MTL could get Seth Jones out of Chicago? Would he waive for MTL if they also traded for Dubois and are ready to compete soon?

How much would Chicago ask? My guess is a top 15 pick, just like DeBrincat and Dach, in a better 2023 draft. Maybe something like OEL.</div></div>

If Jones wanted out of CHI, I'm almost positive Davidson would oblige. But the price would have to be right. A top 15 pick is probably right, and then maybe a prospect. That would recoup about half of what Bowman gave up. But, would he waive for MTL? Idk... Anything is possible, I guess. He may not have wanted to go to a Canadian team before, but he might go to a Canadian team now if it means getting out of this rebuild. Plus things are looking up in MTL, so he might look at that as a positive. But honestly, he is pretty quiet, so even as a CHI fan, your guess is as good as mine. I do know he has had a look on his face lately like he might not want to be in CHI anymore.
