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.
