I'd be good with getting a 4th for Boro.

and a 1st + prospect for Jeannot... prolly what it would take for Nashville to do it

That's the part of the trade I don't see happening. A very late 1st and an inconsequential prospect isn't going to convince Poile to trade Jeannot.

Merkulov is an B+ prospect at worst buddy... 1st in a deep draft. What do you think Jeannot is worth?

Merkulov Is not an inconsequential prospect

Yeah seems pretty fair to me... don't know if Nashville can expect more for Jeannot. Maybe Greer or Smith going the other way?

If you’re going to trade a first and a prospect at least get more than a 4th liner

Obviously Jeannot is not just a 4th liner he can play on the third line, he’s RFA he’s cheap and provides a lot for the bruins for a playoff run

He’s a healthy scratch on Boston and they don’t need anymore left shot wingers.

To Poile? More than this. Right now, given the drop in his numbers this season, Jeannot likely doesn't have this much trade value anymore. Really can't fathom NSH selling on him anytime soon though. He's a key player for them if they do try to return to contention, and a guy they'd want to keep during a rebuild as a leading by example type.

Even in a deep draft, GMs aren't expecting to find players with Jeannot's toolkit in the #28-32 range. "Inconsequential" wasn't so much of a shot at Merkulov, as to how much interest NSH would have in him. They've got enough higher ceiling prospects at wing that I don't see him ever getting a chance with the Preds. He's definitely a lot more valuable to BOS, given their weak prospect pool.

That’s just not true, and he plays on the RW who cares I what shot he is

They don’t need a another plug forward. They need a defenseman to play with McAvoy.

Bruins have both Lindholm and Grzelcyk. They don't need a defenseman to play with McAvoy. Maybe they could use a two-way 3rd pair D but they don't have the cap space or the luxury to do it while needing a top9 forward.

No they don’t

Yea they do

Merkulov is 22 and hasn't seen a single NHL game yet (hes also undrafted), no idea where you're getting him being a B tier prospect lmao.

Jeannot might not be having the best year, but its a result of bad coaching.
He's 25, an expiring RFA, and only making 800k. Also scored 20 goals last season.

You want Jeannot? Throw Lysell in the trade.

He'd flourish on Boston, and is just the identity they'd want in their top 9. He can also play both sides. Do your homework

Watch Sweden in the world juniors this year and then you’ll see why Lysell is not available

Jeannot had a 19.4% shooting percentage. For comparison, Ovechkin has shot at 14.8% the past 5 seasons, Pastrnak at 14.5% and Connor at 15% (among top players). In other words, Jeannot was shooting at an unsustainable pace and he will most likely score less goals if he bounces back.
Hynes was also the coach last year and there was no problem then but now, it's all him, right? You can say this about a lot of players in this league in CBJ, OTT, ANA, SJS, etc. It is what it is.

Merkulov is about 0.80 pts/GP in his first pro season and has NHL potential. Nothing false in saying he's a B prospect. Lysell will be better in his second season or even first than Jeannot will ever be. They aren't adding him and Nashville can keep Jeannot. Anyways, they're trying to win, no? Don't see them trading him.

Your comments about Hynes comes from not being a Preds fan, fine. So I'll fill you in.
He's lost the room. its apparent his system that worked last year has collapsed, and as a result, he mix-matches the lines daily trying to find something that will work because his job is on the line.
Nashville is trying to win because Poile wants to keep his job. He only cares about selling seats, not building us a good team. Trading Jeannot would probably be the better option, but it wouldn't be to Boston. They don't have anyone in value Nashville wants.

And Merkulov is not a B tier prospect. sorry, hes just not that good lmfao. If he IS a B tier prospect, keep him. Your prospect pool is about as thin as a piece of fishing string. he's better for you than he is us.
