Looking back at this, obviously a lot of flaws.. one being that Hanifin should get more in return, at least Poitras. But I think the idea of this is realistic anyway

Avs decline. Two rentals, retention or not, won't get you Byram, the guy they would want to replace Byram if they actually considered moving him, and their first.

You are either overvaluing pending UFA Hanafin, or you are undervaluing Poitras. That is particularly true from the perspective of Bruins needs, which are NHL center talent and draft picks/prospects to restock their pipeline. There is probably no trade that includes Poitras that the Bruins would do for a pending UFA.

Idk if Toronto makes that trade man

lol hard no from Colorado, remove Byram and keep your third

Buins say no, Lohrei is starting to round into form right now, I think both him and Poitras are gonna be viewed as core pieces going forward and aren't available.

Ya, easy no from Boston

There is something to be said for developing your own and reaping the benefits of young, talented players on ELC.

Lohrei is the perfect example.

Boston keeps him as well as Poitras and Lysell.

No thanks. We'll keep Lohrei and try and sign Hanifin in the off-season. If Hanifin signs elsewhere then oh well. LHD isn't really a "need" for the Bruins.
