I'm very open to trading Nelson. We will retain 50% too give us either a 2nd or a roster player + 3rd

Nelson(50%) for 1st+ Merkulov?

Kid should crack an NHL roster next year has a great shot, agile as well.

I would do it. The islanders lack good prospects and he would fit well in. Could maybe play 1st line with barzal and horvat

Is there any way we can get Poitras out of Boston for Nelson? Let's say Nelson comes with an extension at 4 years, $6M per.

Highly highly highly doubt it poitras is poised to be bruins future 2C we also need guys on their ELC. The fact he cracked the line-up at 19 means bruins definitely don’t move him unless it’s for a U25 Center that’s already a 2C and could become a 1C

No. Unlikely Poitras is moved at all but if he is it will be for a long term solution. Nelson's age precludes him from being that no matter what the extension looks like

They’ll keep Ullmark before trading him for a second
