I feel like this is a good trade for both teams.

Add 50% retention from Dallas and switch the 4th to a 3rd from Boston.

Thanks fam, I appreciate that.

I like Pavelski to the B's but that is a lot to pay for a pending UFA

I agree, but considering Pavelski is putting up just over a point per game right now, I think he's a more realistic option for the Bruins because JT Miller would cost a lot, and I just can't see the Bruins trading Fabian Lysell.

Take out vaakanainen and i think that’s solid if theres some retention.

Thanks fam, I appreciate that, and I forgot to retain part of Pavelski's contract to lol.

Take out the 1st and keep Urho in there - not sure Joe will get a 1st as a rental and a large cap hit. Bruins don't part with urho, Studs and a 1st for Joe. I could see it being conditional pick for a resign, but not the 2 players and the 1st.

I'll definitely do that, thanks fam.

This condition is no longer allowed.

true but if there is a will, there is a way

There is not. It's banned by the CBA.

You don't think allowing a team to talk to Joe before never happens? Or perhaps talking to Dallas to sign him and trade him? You may be delusional to think favours, futures and gentleman's handshakes don't happen that would allow the end result to be the same.

Oi vey... what part of not allowed by the CBA is eluding you?

I swear to Christmas, I'm in the Twilight Zone here.

Its illegal to speed as well, are you saying that you haven't? Don't be an idiot and as naive to believe there is no way around a rule - the entire history of all sports has teams finding work arounds
