Quoting: ChiHawk
Yeah but not a chance Saad is moved for less then a 1st and good prospect or a 3rd; salary retention beyond a nominal amount of $500K or less just won't happen. Saad is better then every winger on the rental market (Krieder, Taffoli, Zucker) and has another year on his contract.
OK, fair enough, but more money in the form of a Bruins roster guy likely has to come back to CHI (re: Krug)...
* CHI acquires Bruins 1st pick, 3rd pick, Backes,
AND J. Moore (Boston add from current roster), and
* BOS acquires Saad (w/ $1M retained) and _________________________ (insert a later Chicago pick or B-prospect)?
EDIT... with Moore you can flip him at this TDL, the draft, in the summer, or keep as un-protected for expansion draft (experienced, cheap cap-hit for Seattle and they won't be locked in for life)!
