Palat trade is UGLY.

Luke Hughes is an LD. If you're getting an LD like zadorov just keep Marino

Nemec-Siegenthaler do NOT work together. At all.

Monahan is far too slow to play on Jack's wing, bad idea. He's a PP specialist and NJD is a team that has a full PP1

Luke can actually play both sides and Zadorov can play both as well. Marino is a natural RD and we have so many that one of them is going to get squeezed out. Ya in hindsight that Nemo and Siegs pair is pretty bad. I'd switch things up and put Luke with Dougie, Siegs with Zadorov, and Nemo with Samuelsson. The Palat trade is going to suck regardless since we're going to have to pair a haul to get rid of that contract. Glass is a former 6th overall pick, only 25, is a good 3C, and can definitely get better in the right system barring who the new coach is. And yes Monahan is slow but is a decent goal scorer despite it being mostly on the PP. Maybe switch him and Drouin on the 1st and 3rd and it'll work better.

Except we don't. We have 3 currently NHL capable RD. Luke looked much worse on the right side.

In this scenario you have Luke, Siegs, Hatakka, Samuelsson, Zadorov, Vilen as LD

and Dougie, Nemec, and Casey as RD.

Monahan isn't particularly good offensively or defensively at even strength. He is too slow to be a good fit for NJDs system.

Simply keep Palat. He is an effective hockey player and we have no cap issues next year

I don’t believe the Bruins would have interest in Chase Stillman. Hes a right shot, but outside of being a former first round pick; Im not sure he’s useful at Providence.

Bahl is a poor fit next to Peeke and my guess is NJ will value him higher than the Bruins. Hes a popular add in some of these deal and I don’t understand why. My guess is Boston would prefer Villen.
