I think everyone has to cool their jets! Totally agreed, it is a extremely painful to watch this team after being a top dog in the East for many years. But making a panic move is the wrong thing to do. This team can win with some tweaks. Last year they could have went to the Cup Final. They lost in a tight series to MTL which they could have won and would have buried the Rangers in the East Final.
They were close. MTL was a good team and we couldn't match the speed. This is a concern with this team, they are slow and soft. Not a good combination.

I think trading the core is a big mistake. Trading Rask would be silly, he won the vezina last year and going into this year he was arguably the best goalie in the world. He has been off this year and everyone is calling for his head. For what Lucic brings to the team as far as intagibles couldn't be replaced. He is a player that you want on your team in the playoffs. He has been off but he hasn't found his groove yet. Seriously Seth Griffith as the answer for the RW on that line. That is really weak, Pete did not provide a better option.

Guys I would consider moving, Erikkson, Seidenberg, Marchand, Smith, prospects (Spooner, Koko, Subban).

Pete needs to bring in a viable option at RW. I would prefer it being Stewart or maybe Kassian. Bruins need to get tougher and meaner, that is there style. Iginla and Horton were tough and power forwards and that line was dominant and unstoppable at times. Stewart would score 20+ on that line. It was also get Lucic going.

In the meantime Claude needs to shakeup the lines to create a spark.

Lucic / Krejci / Smith

Marchand / Bergeron / Erikkson

Kelly / Soderberg / AHL Checker

Paille / Campbell / AHL Checker

Awesome post. Bottom line though, Hamilton will cost you Hall or your pick this year.

I don't see our teams being great trading partners unless we decide that Petry 100% won't resign. In that case I could definitely see a deal getting done. He would be huge for a cup run for the Bruins. I could see something like Petry + 3rd for Subban.

It will cost you Subban or Hamilton. Possibly both if you want it autographed.

You guys need a top line RW. We have Eberle but I don't know how Boston would make that cap number work. I would be willing to do Eberle + Marincin + Pittsburgh's 1st for Dougie Hamilton.
- Ihatebrianburke


Nooooooooooooo,

#1 Defense Men>Top End Center>Solid Goalie>Scoring Winger

Dougie is way more valuable to a team than Taylor Hall even is and Eberle is a notch below him.

It's just the importance of position.

21 yr old top pairing D men are Rare..........

High skill wingers........please see Edmonton.

No deal, Dougie stays.

But just for kicks, here is a ridiculous trade offer. Because everyone is doing it. One time only, take it or leave it.

To Colorado,

Hamilton, Chara, Subban, Lucic, Krejci + All 2015 draft picts (rounds 1-7) and a 1st in 2016 and 2017


To Boston,

EJ, MacK, Iggy, Picks, Landy + 2015 1st, and all draft picks (rounds 1-7) in the 2017 entry draft


We will even throw Joe Sacco in to sweeten the pot

Swapped tanguay for landy, because both captains need to be traded.

As much as I think Kassian would fit great here, it does nothing to help the Brions score Goals.
HEY I have an idea Let's start Paille in OT,

Great. PC will probably cave in to his agent too and give him PK subban money when he needs to be resigned.
