Just trying to be realistic. I think you're completely delusional to what the market is for these players. Stempniak put up a 50 point season - a team is going to pay a couple mill. for that production. I know you want the market to be less for these guys because you're a B's fan. But what you want the market to be, and what it actually is are two different things.

You're wrong on Krug's leverage. Just because he is an RFA does not mean he doesn't have any leverage. He's an RFA with arbitration rights which is huge, as he can take the team to arbitration if they can't come to an agreement. And the arbitrator basically basis his decision based off points and compares them to guys of similar age and when they signed. So if Vatanen is a 30 point guy getting $4.85, and Krug is a 40+ point guy....well, I think that's going to drive it up over $5 mill per year. In a similar situation 5 years ago, Yandle signed for 5 years $25 mill., and that was 5 years ago. So, the Bruins options are too pay Krug what an arbitrator would award him, or trade him. Given that the Bruins need d-man, especially skilled d-man, I think they'll be forced to sign him at what arbitration would award him.

Sujet: 2016-2017 Trade Marchand
Green and Wideman are not comparable. Green is far better than Wideman. Wideman can barely skate.

What the Bruins did, or didn't do, last year should not serve as motivation as to what they do this off-season. Like I've said three times already - if you can get a better return for Marchand, then they should at least entertain it. A trade for Marchand should not be off the table. I think teams would give up something significant for him. Detroit came to mind as they may lose Datsyuk for nothing to the KHL. If that happens, I would imagine they would be looking for an offensive guy and the Bruins are looking for puck movers. And in this trade Detroit would save $1.5 mill on the cap for next year which would be desirable to them as they have Datsyuk's $7.5 mill sitting there doing nothing for them. Perhaps adding an extra piece in the mix would equal out the value. Just an idea.
