Thread: Bruins V5
1. My belief is Calgary hangs up

2. LA trade needs more money coming to the Bruins to be realistic.

Sean Durzi is the type of player you want on your team and the type of player you are always trying to replace with younger, cheaper talent. I’d hate for him to be the base in a Ullmark deal, because there is no upside. Think of him as the equivalent of Trent Frederic of defense. He has some really interesting skills and a great attitude, but his game lacks some important parts.

To give context, Boston fans want Reilly off the team. If Mike Reilly and Sean Durzi made the same money, Reilly is the better player. He may not have the undersized I’ll show you different attitude that resonates when you watch Durzi, but he’s a better player both ways with a lot of Durzi’s benefit coming on the PP.

The player I’d target is Francesco Pinelli, because I think the Kings need to manage the risk around Turgeon. Ive accepted that a trade with the Kings includes Iafallo or Arvidssen with a strong preference towards Iaffallo.

Thread: offseason movess
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>princessTom</b></div><div>u really think they decline that? If im BOS and i take out the 1st AND lysell I still dont offer that, no idea how u turn it down</div></div>

the org places a lot of value on wilson, they won't move him without a massive overpay and this isn't. I'll give Fehervary and Gryz being a wash, even though the age difference would probably mean otherwise. I think the value placed by the league on Hall is declining, and with Boston's cap troubles I also don't see him as a significant piece in this deal (I have seen many Bruins ACGMs giving him away for a 2nd and 3rd, for example and the Bjorkstrand deal last summer is imo a good comp).

That leaves basically Wilson for Lysell and a 25 1st. Lysell is a great piece and had a good rookie pro season for Providence, but (like McMichael, Lapierre, Miro) isn't a can't miss prospect and probably isn't ready to play in the NHL next year. the 25 1st -- especially if unprotected -- is also a good piece but doesn't really help Washington this year.

Basically, they have the cap space and assets to add someone like Hall without making significant changes to the roster, probably could use Fehervary more than Gryz. To trade Wilson this summer, it would take either an insane amount of futures (that Boston just doesn't have) or a massive improvement to the roster (think Marner).
