Despite all of these rumors, every Bruins fan knows that this is going to be a quiet off season and no real major moves will be made. It is unrealistic to expect this team to acquire a big time player through FA or a trade. I can see Sweeney moving one or two of the following players in a "camp dump" trade or to acquire more draft stock in the mid-late rounds.
Bjork: Low top 6 potential
Moore: somewhat of a camp dump, more just clearing a de spot and save some money
Ritchie: the experiment didn't work, if they find a decent deal, take it
Senyshen: He has to make the team this year or he goes through waivers
Zboril: Same thing as Senyshen
The bruins will try out their younger guys, and at the deadline, try to acquire a top 6 player.
Also if Cassidy decides to change the dzone to Man coverage rather than zone, I'm not sure how well Chara will fit into that.
Those other trades are possible deadline moves for the Bruins. I think those are all fair value. Also not all of them will retain. Salary.
Well a cap dump in the since he's not being acquired by another team to improve them. Also this really isn't taking on a david backes or lucic contract. this is only 2.75 mil, and for Det, he would be a great add to the team. He can play a decent amount of minutes when the younger de are feeling the pressure, if not, he understands his role.
I’m assuming this was toward my comment?
Like I said doesn’t make sense as we have Nemeth/Lindstrom on the bottom pairing and then Biega as the press box guy. So we don’t really have a spot for him since we need a top 4 guy.
well 1, saad isn't actually going to be retaining salary, that was just to try and fit the acgm under the cap, and I think the first and like oskar steen is plenty for saad. Vaal and swayman are way to much grouped with a 1st.
If we aren’t going to retain on Saad (which we will to find the best deal no doubt), a first and a meh prospect is probably enough. However, Saad with retention at the dealline should ideally be worth a 1st and a decent prospect, maybe Swayman is too much... I agree. But I think Zboril or Vak would so nicely.
It depends on what you are willing to give up, if it’s a better prospect like Studnicka, we probably don’t need a first, or we at least send a better pick like our 2nd in 2021. (Although I fully expect that Studnicka is not up for trade)
I could live with any of Zboril, Vaakanainen, or even the goalie Swayman in the deal you proposed with Saad at 50%.
Vaakanainen and swayman would be overpay. Sweeney should be strung up if he made that deal.
