Brekel's Bruins Mock Off-season #2

Very unrealistic, but going off that recent report in the Boston Globe that says Vancouver is open to moving #7 overall. (Dim) Jim Benning is familiar with Torey Krug + Cehlarik, and TK47 would fill a need for them on defense. They are rebuilding though, so it would need to be done where Benning thinks they could contend with a few moves. With a possibility that Tkachuk falls to #7 (in this mock) Bruins jump on him, acquiring a top 6 winger with skill, size, and a mean streak; something they could use (all three things). This now opens up them being able to move on from one of their LW prospects for Hanifin, who is rumored to be available for the right price. Not sure I gave up enough for him, but a package around one of our LW (Heinen is the example here) + some prospects and the 2019 1st could be intriguing.

Wonder if Nucks would add Hutton in the deal? We could add some lesser prospect Hughes, Johansson type. They’d still have Edler, Krug, Pouliot on left side with Juolivi on the way.

Could go nuclear- - - Rask for Demko and 1st. Lol. Doubt Nucks are on his 8 team list but he might be sick of his toughness being questioned in Boston.

I don't think we'd need Hutton added, unless you mean going that way instead of Hanifin.

Following year Chara goes, you have Hanifin, Hutton, Grizz on left side. Also insurance if Noah can’t be had.

Not bad, but Hutton, at this stage, is kind of a top 4/6 tweener. i'd rather go with Chara/Hanifin/Grzelcyk and then reassess chara next season. If he retires, you could then slot everyone up, and give a look to Zboril/Lauzon/Vaakaninen.
