Eklund: Bruins Offer Sheeting Trouba? On Stempniak, Brouwer, Nielsen. Buzz@1

Bruins don’t have their 2nd or 3rd next year, ek.

I think somebody is pulling your leg.

The Sabres already have enough Centres in Eichel, O'Reilly, Reinhart, Ennis, Girgensons... All these guys are natural Centres, if anything they should be trying to add wingers like Okposo, lucic...

Hey Ek can you post yesterday's podcast to iTunes?

That's not a factor if the Bruins offer him $9.5M/year which requires 4 first round picks

Seriously not being a Richard(for once) The offer sheet thing is more complicated than the (frank)ing human genome

Dont worry, Don Sweeney is on the case

Well, it is more complicated that some people's genome.

He seems to like to go off the board, so he'll probably offer sheet Darcy Kuemper

The offer sheet is going to be for over 9.2 million

So far the amount of excitement and activity between teams is off the charts!

I wonder when we will catch on to the fact that very little exciting happens on the trade front in the NHL.

He's been offer sheeting UFA's all week......

Other GM's haven't had the heart to tell him that isn't how it works.

To CLB: Jacob Trouba and 2017 Jets 1st round pick

To WPG: Seth Jones and 2017 Columbus 1st round pick

Don Sweeney has sent an offer sheet to Torey Krug.

I'm just trying to make sense of Ek's rumor since the B's reportedly don't have their 2nd/3rd next season....

For the 2015/16 season, the only offer sheet compensation schemes that don't involve 2nd/3rd round picks are:

Less than 1.2M = No compensation
Greater than 9.2M = 4 first rounders

....so either the B's need to reacquire their 2nd/3rd rounder or this rumor is like so many of Ek's other rumors.

To CLB: Jacob Trouba and 2017 Jets 1st round pick

To WPG: Seth Jones and 2017 Columbus 1st round pick

So they swap what are likely to be nearly identical picks but WPG gets an immensely more talented (and slightly younger) defenseman.

Krug accepts the 9.5M per year and is very excited to personally use the 4, 1st round picks, to ensure the Bruins management are not able to (frank) them up this time....

Boston doesn't need those picks, If they offer that much.

But trouba is not worth 9 million. If they offer up to 7.3 million, it's a first second and third. If it's 7.3 to 9.1 million, it's two firsts, a second and a third.

Trouba should be had for less than 7 million. I'd be comfortable with Boston giving up a first second and third for 6-6.5. But According to the rules, it must be their own picks and for the following season. So yeah it seems as though they cannot offer sheet anyone. Unless they trade back for their second and third picks lol.
