Too much for Carlo
Take Shak out @ least

Easy pass from the Blues. They have no cap or need for Tatar, and won;t be throwing this year's second around willy nilly.

I appreciate the concept you’re suggesting of openly overpaying, and i don’t this trade is necessarily bad value, but if you look at Boston’s needs, i just don’t think it does anything for them.
So lets start with the d man swap. I think the bruins downgrade in terms of the player. The player they get is older, and only has a year and a half left on his deal as opposed to five and a half.
Then you’ve got Nolan Foote, 21, had a cup of coffee in the NHL. Been mediocre in the AHL. I’ll be honest, I just don’t think he’s an NHL player. Doesn’t do much for boston, he’s a lottery ticket.

Then we’ve got this Shakir fellow. Devils fans have straight up told me that his floor is carlo, and his ceiling is mcavoy. Ya, okay. I certainly don’t watch a ton of KHL hockey (if any), but is 7 points in 34 games this season really getting anyone’s rocks off? I think at this point, the value the Bruins would see in him is the possibility that some team might value him, and they could flip the player.

Boqvist is organizational depth I guess? The bruins have plenty of it.

So I just don’t see what in this package makes the bruins start saying, “maybe we should move this guy that we don’t want to move.”

I think if you want Carlo, start with a legit, young 2C with some term, of at least some team control.

Very, very good value for the Bruins in terms for futures so don't get me wrong, this is as you said an overpay and you try to fill the gap of Carlo with Severson so I can totally see how this makes sense

But as long as Bergeron is on the team I still get the sense that they will never leave the idea of winning with him despite getting overpayments (even though after this season they absolutely should look to rebuild in my opinion unless we snag Hertl) and instead of seeing it as an amazing package for Carlo, they'll see that he is better than Severson and they won't help the "win now" mindset

It just doesn't make sense for another team to try and get Carlo for futures from the other team's perspective because of what I have to imagine is the Bruins' internal point of view of the team right now

In short, I say the Bruins SHOULD ABSOLUTELY accept, very likely won't in my opinion

Blues pass, they already got too many forwards as is

Too much for Carlo

Carlo has been re-signed and he's staying in Boston but I would take this deal otherwise.
