I think it's a playoff team on paper, but it seems to be missing the piece it needs to be a real Cup contender. Any ideas on what it would be? Lemme hear 'em; please and ty.

Not sure the Miller trade really benefits either team that much. Also don't think there is anyway that McAvoy would be paired with someone like Depres in his first full season. I think Sweeney will do everything they can to move Beleskeys contract, and I think its almost certain that Spooner will move. Personally I think Bjork is more NHL ready than JFK, so I have him in the 3rd line spot over him in my roster. Feel free to take a look at!

The idea was to trade Miller to a team that needs a bottom-pairing RHD; we have too many of them and Washington lacks one. Would McAvoy be paired with Chara? Not splitting up Krug/McQuaid because they have good chemistry in spite of McQuaid's shortcomings. People have said that JFK is ready, but I don't have an opinion, so if Bjork is more ready I'll listen to you.

I think DS likes Miller too much to move him, but I see where your coming from. I just really don't think that JFK is NHL ready, at least compared to Bjork. Overall, a full season in Providence would benefit them both but I assume at least one will make the opening day roster. I'm a big Debrusk fan but I think with A'gostino signing, he'll start in PRO.

I see Carlo staying with Z simply because if you go Chara-McAvoy, then you pretty much need Krug with Carlo which doesn't represent the strongest defensive pairing, while you have McQuaid, Miller and Postma for the bottom pair, yuck. If they protected Colin Miller, you would have a lot more flexibility and talent for that bottom pair.

Agree with everything you said until the D.
Just because guys played well together last year means they need to be paired again this year. Good thing about Bruins is they force different guys to play together so they all know each other well.
So I see:
Krug/McAvoy (playing with Bergy and Marchy and some kid will be a lethal lineup!!)
Chara/Carlo
Despres/McQuaid

But we signed Postma not to play in AHL so not sure why you wanna sign Despres..... we have plenty of kids for that spot from the P Bruins
