Fantasy Bruins Roster (Part 2/2)

Folin/Blidh just extra's....They could be filled with countless players. McIntyre is a question mark as well. In the first mock, I had him as the backup and if he has a good year, could see an extension, but is replaceable if he falters.

McDonagh deal was done in the offseason of year 1 for Zboril, Frederic, Senyshyn, 2018 First Round Pick.

I see your a big fan of McDonagh I like the trade but I think you are over paying for him you are essentially trading 4 First round picks I would take away one of Frederic or the 2018 first. I also think your over paying him by 1 mil or so but I like the idea and its rare to see an over payment on here.

You're trading 3 prospects and a 1st round pick. Once a player is drafted, he isn't a draft position anymore. He is a player with different potential than the pick holds. Nail Yakupov was the 1st overall pick. Does he still hold that value? Anders Bjork was a 5th round pick. Does he still hold that value? I'm just not a fan of that mindset when looking at a deal.

I'd love to be overpaying him by a million, as it would get Boston more cap-space. He makes 4.7M right now. 6.5M would be an increase of 1.8M in salary for the player. Seeing McDonagh is a top pairing defenseman and this will be his last big contract, I figured 7+ is the starting point for that type of player, with the cap going up. If he came in at 6.5M though, that'd be great. Chances this happens are slim to none, but it's nice to see a Bruins team capable of adding a big-time salary on defense and still have space and such to make moves. It's so hard to really do these mocks 2 years down the road since you have no idea what'll happen with drafting, and player development.

Thanks for the response. I do like McDonagh a lot, and feel he and McAvoy would be one epic top pairing for years to come. He also would succeed Chara, which I feel is a need.

I like the idea of McDonagh (evidence by the mock I did last week) and it certianly would be the type of "all-in" move that could put Boston over the top. I will say, its a tough pill to swallow on Seny. The kid has two things you can't teach and that's size and speed. If we could keep him out of the deal then I'd do it, but Zboril + Seny + Frederic + 1st just seems like so much to give. Maybe if McDonagh is coming with a signed sealed and delivered extension, but even then IDK if I want to give up that much....to a major rival no less.

I'm right there with you. I guess it's just a situation of Boston capitalizing on that deep prospect pool. While they move Senyshyn, Frederic, Zboril in this trade, they still have Donato, JFK, Studnicka, Lindgren, Lauzon, Vaakanainen, Cehlarik, Bjork, etc.. It's just not fair. Plus, while they move the 2018 first, they'd still have picks to restock with more prospects.
