1. My belief is Calgary hangs up

2. LA trade needs more money coming to the Bruins to be realistic.

Sean Durzi is the type of player you want on your team and the type of player you are always trying to replace with younger, cheaper talent. I’d hate for him to be the base in a Ullmark deal, because there is no upside. Think of him as the equivalent of Trent Frederic of defense. He has some really interesting skills and a great attitude, but his game lacks some important parts.

To give context, Boston fans want Reilly off the team. If Mike Reilly and Sean Durzi made the same money, Reilly is the better player. He may not have the undersized I’ll show you different attitude that resonates when you watch Durzi, but he’s a better player both ways with a lot of Durzi’s benefit coming on the PP.

The player I’d target is Francesco Pinelli, because I think the Kings need to manage the risk around Turgeon. Ive accepted that a trade with the Kings includes Iafallo or Arvidssen with a strong preference towards Iaffallo.

Were I the Pens, which I’m not, I would decline. Zero interest in Grz.

I love Marcus Petterson, but you have guy that plays no defense (Joseph) and a player who plays no offense (Jan Rutta). You have the cap position to make a stronger signing and I think you should target Orlov personally, but until you acquire better players … my assumption is you should look for an upgrade.

An upgrade is likely, but I don’t consider Grz an upgrade. Just not a fan. Orlov would be nice, but sometimes tough to predict the UFA market.

I watched your defense. Gryz would be a big upgrade, but there may be other options. I see people proposing Joseph to us in a trade and I’ve had not so nice thoughts towards them.

I’ve seen some of that, too, and also offered less than kind words the other way as I wouldn’t trade POJ for Grz straight up. I just don’t like that player, Grz does nothing for me.

I believe the board ads are more effective at defending teams than POJ. Give me Gryz any day of the week.

He’s all yours.

cgy dont want Hall, not worth Hanifin's value anyways
