Now is when you push your chips in and fully go for it. If you want to win again with Bergeron as your number 1 pivot, you have to fully commit.

bruins have already been drafting and developing centers (stud, jfk, fred, and beecher) so theres no worry for me about the future of the bruins down the middle

Also too little for carlo on an 8 yr deal and way to much for mcavoy on a 2 yr deal

I do see your point, but does the trade diminish the team enough to not be a contender? Heinen is very good at both ends of the ice, Killer when healthy is also solid, but Bruins are deep in wing prospects. Are Stud, Jfk, Fred, or Beecher potential #1 centers?

Honestly I didn't even notice there was a trade. I read your description and thought you were suggesting tanking this season for a top Center.

I don't think you can trade your way into the top ten draft pick When Backes and Krejci contracts expire in two years, maybe there is money to trade for a premier centre or sign a UFA.

Holland isn't that stupid, you know?

I figured the deals were around +/- 500k?


Heinen and a slightly injury prone Killer should fetch a prospect and a high 1st with a small cap dump, or have I over/under valued?

Edmonton laughs at that trade, Carlo laughs at that offer, way too much money for McAvoy on a 2 year deal, lineup is awful with pulju on line 2, and Björk and Backes on line 3...Kuhlman die or something? This whole thing is an F

The trade is a joke for Edmonton. Carlo never takes that. Way too much for Mcavoy

That's a really bad trade for Edmonton.

agreed for the first 2/3 part of the comment

Gotta remember that Chiarelli's gone now lol, if Edmonton was smart (and I believe Holland is), they would hold on to their 1st round pick for dear life, and certainly not trade it for that package.

I thought the trade was tight and considered a defence prospect instead of Killer. I think EDM would trade the first to become better now. Heinen brings 40pts+ on third line, for a good cap hit and would be their best defensive forward right away. I thought I was underpaying Carlo by around 500-750k. I think a bridge at 6.25m + or - 500k was reasonable for McAvoy. Can't see him taking less the 5.75m.

Say it with me. Group. 1. Rfa.

Carlo is Group 2 I believe as he played 10 or more games in each of his 3 ELC years(maybe not first year?). McAvoy is totally different, not even a RFA. He is a 10.2 FA as he never played in 10 games in his 3 ELC years. Is this correct?

Noooo he’s a group 1 rfa. Hence why he would get less than you’re giving him.

carlo on an 8 yr deal gets minimum 4.5 Mcavoy on a 2yr deal gets 3.5

From our 4 C prospects id say stud and beecher have #1 C potential.

Ah yes I didn't realize the first year he signed he only played a few AHL games. Makes sence he would take less then.
