Thread: Rebuild
Bruins aren't near good enough to win this year, the whole "playoffs are a different animal" isnt gonna matter for this team, they simply do not have the team to do it this season

Personally believe selling would be the best way to go, dont care that they've been in 1st place most of the season, there are much better teams in the East and theres no point in wasting more assets to slightly improve the bottom 6 or bottom pair, those small marginal upgrades wont matter when they get bounced in 5 or 6 in the first round, get as many assets for pending UFAs as possible

Especially DeBrusk, guys the streakiest player in the league and really seems to pick and choose which games he shows up and gives effort for and which games he takes off, clearly doesn't wanna be in BOS, ship him to a contender in the West while you can

DeBrusk, Griz, Shatty, Forbort, JVR, and Ullmark should roughly fetch those returns

As much as CGY fans will say otherwise, Lohrei + 1st is an overpayment for rental Hanifin

Ducks would want more for Zegras, although hes pretty overrated and I wouldn't pay that price for him

Thread: Deadline bruins if they trust Swayman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I’m kind of curious what Calgary’s and NJD’s thoughts on Holtz is compared to the first round and third round pick. Id value Holtz over those personally, but I’m not sure where either is there. There is something to say for more service time, but I just view that jump from Junior to AHL/NHL as so big that if a prospect shows competence there: he has more credit in my book,

To NJD: Ullmark and Forbort

To Bos: Hanifin and Vanacek ($1 m retained)

To Calgary: Holtz or 2024 NJD 1st/3rd, 2026 Boston 2nd, any prospect not in Boston’s top 3 (no Lohrei, Poitras, Lysell)

I could see Calgary having an interest in Grzelcyk for Vladar swap instead of giving Forbort to NJD for Vanacek. It buys a few youngsters more time and Grz might covet contractual stability / opportunity at this stage. Plus, I think Vladar is a negative contract and that might have value for Calgary

Is Poirier ready to be a top 4 D once he’s healthy or should he develop as a 3rd line guy who can beat out Grz? Plus, I think Wolf and Markstrom is an ideal pairing. Its better to ease a young goaltender in as part of a duo rather than just make him the unconditional number 1</div></div>

If Hanifin signs an extension with BOS that could be worth, although bringing on Vanecek re-introduces the Forbort problem where Bruins have another 3mill bad contract for another szn, if they could flip him for a mid-late rounder, Id much rather have Bussi backup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Boston passes on that</div></div>

Do they? A 1st + any other assets for Ullmark would be fine, Spence is a great prospect, and pending UFA Talbot only makes 1mill, not crazy about retention, but there have definitely been worse offers

Obviously would prefer assets to help the forwards or get Hanifin, but this is pretty solid IMO, wouldn't expect LAK to offer it tho<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I have the get out of jail free card trade I’ve already mentioned

To Boston: PLD and Talbott
To LA: Ullmark and DeBrusk

Depending on your perspective of PLD’s future, this trade could be very bad for either side.</div></div>

PLD is terrible, wouldn't trade JD for that package alone
