Expanding on Kscoop's Pastrnak for Draisaitl

I think Bruins need to add to Edmonton trade. I think most value a potential franchise center than a franchise winger. I also do not think Krug waives to go to Ottawa however, I do love Stone.

his no trade list is only 8 teams. Ottawa could be in that, but they might not be.

as for Pasta vs Draisaitl, remember who drafted Pastrnak. He's paid less, he's put up better numbers over the last couple years. I agree, the center is worth more, but it could be an organizational fit for both teams.

1-star for continuing to even play with this ridiculous idea

I can't tell you how much I hate this idea.

I understand that Bergeron and Krejci are aging, but both are still very productive. I understand Draisaitl is good, but I wouldn't go near this deal with a 10 foot pole.

Pastrnak's contract is amazing and Draisaitl's not so much & the theory that you should always take the center is false in my opinion. Should Tampa trade Kucherov for Draisaitl? Just an FYI Pastrnak has outperformed Kucherov vs their 1st two seasons. I also see no reason why he would not continue to get better as well. I know they have a perceived problem at center in the future, but I don't think it's unrealistic to think they are decent for through the 2018-19 & 2019-20 seasons.

A) they have enough young talent to go get someone.
B) Free agent centers in the next two years: Seguin, Backstrom, Duchene, Pavelski (Old and performing), RNH, Plus any teams that may fall out of playoff contention and be looking to deal. FLA has a lot of center depth they might look to upgrade other positions.
C) The Bruins have young guys who could step up and fill in
D) There are about 5 teams that don't have to worry about their best players getting old and most of those aren't playoff teams because well the reason they have good young talent is because they have drafted high
E) Bruins have a top 5-10 1/2 punch at center right now. They don't need to fix that now.

Yes, players fall off fast, but like I said - baring injury (which any player can have) Bergeron does not fit that mold. I see no reason to think he isn't 70 ish points next year playing with Marchand, and unless I see something this year, it seems a couple years away before he isn't a top 15 NHL center.
