Well the cost will depend on who the Bruins go after. It will probably be 2 or 3 good assets. Malcolm Subban, Ryan Spooner, Alexander Khokhlachev the 2013 1st rd pick. Hope the Bruin fans are ready for this if they want to keep the current roster together.

rumors here in new jersey have the devils are bruins talking about a possible andy greene move to boston for a top 6 forward. don't know how much truth there is to it, but it seems like something both teams could use.

A 1st and a prospect is what they paid for Kaberle, and I would gladly pay the same for Iginla. Give Iginla a couple games with Krejci and Lucic, I would bet anything his stats immediately start improving.

Iginla would be incredible on your team. Love to see it

Meh, I think I would pass on that deal. I like Greene, I think he is a solid defender and would definitely help our D group. I just don't see Chiarelli parting with anyone from our top 6, because then he would need to replace that player going to NJ. I think they need secondary scoring help instead of D help.

I like Jarome but he's getting up there in age and if prospects are going to get moved, I'd like to see more than just a rental player like Jarome.

I still say P.A. Parenteau should be the target. The Avalanche are floundering, he's only 29 and the cap hit is only $4mil. If the B's are going to give up prospects, getting a player with a long term potential is the way to go.

He just signed in Colorado this past summer. I can't imagine the Avs management flipping him already. If you were to acquire PA and his $4 mil cap hit, it would spell the end of Nathan Horton in Boston. The cap is going down this summer and you couldn't fit both players under the cap.

The Bruins wouldn't trade someone on the top 6, it would be a step backwards unless you are talking about acquiring a really special player in return. That's not to take anything away from Greene, I think he's pretty solid.

like i said its a rumor from northern NJ, and with the devils being off until thursday and the rangers and islanders playing like poop, it could simply be a slow hockey news day?

Bobby Ryan

I would love to have Kaberle back with the Bruins
- Rayven

Could help your PP

Iginla would easliy fetch a 1st (probably a 1st+) as a rental player
- SpoiledByOil

no.

What about Brenden Morrow he would be an up grade from Bourque, I think he would fit well with the Bruins and could be had at a reasonable price
- Spoons19

A lot of things would be an upgrade to bourque....

Meh, as far as Ryder, Habs can have him. Not really space on our roster for him, dont see him playing 3rd or 4th line duty.

Jarome at 35 is better than Alfredson at 40,
or Knuble at his age...

yeah but that is universally considered a bad deal, maybe PC's worse deal as GM. We won the cup despite him. If the Bruins hadnt had all those pics already from toronto it would have been much harder to swallow.

i like the cut of Brière's jib.

I agree the Kaberle trade is considered a loss for Boston, but at the time he was the player everyone wanted. I thought for what Kaberle was potentially brought in to do was worth a 1st and a prospect. So in that respect I think for what we expect Iginla to bring to the table is worth the risk.

I agree that Iginla for Lucic wouldn't happen, but it's not like the Bruins will be able to get him for a bag of pucks.

Even if it is decided that it is time to do it, The Flames aren't going to trade the face of the franchise unless the pieces returning are going to be a real step in the right direction. At the same time they don't have to trade him.

If the Bruins need what Iginla can offer (no he isn't the player he once was but that potential to be is what a team will be hoping to get) it will cost probably a good to top prospect and a their first. Roster players probably won't be on the table. The Bruins will be gearing up for another cup run so they aren't going to give up current active pieces. Their first will probably be int eh pick 25-30 range, so it's not like it is a "top" pick. And for prospects look at a Spooner or a Knight.

Yeah Bruins fans will think it is a lot. But that's what it takes. Trading for a rental (and potentially a re-sign) is about getting what you need now. And if the Bruins aren't willing to do it, they may have to go against it if say Pittsburgh was to pull the trigger on it.

1st rounder and Knight? Done sir! Thank you once again Kessel

Out of all of those the only one I really hang on to is Koko. An absolute steal in the draft and fills a need on the wings. Bruins are log jammed at center and have 3 other goalies in front of Subban.

He just signed in Colorado this past summer. I can't imagine the Avs management flipping him already. If you were to acquire PA and his $4 mil cap hit, it would spell the end of Nathan Horton in Boston. The cap is going down this summer and you couldn't fit both players under the cap.

I don't see Chiarelli making a move for a Parenteau like player. If he goes big he'll go really big (Iginla, Alfie). Chiarelli's MO as a GM, outside of the Kaberle deal, is to build his core and then supplement with role/depth players at the deadline. I think we're in for more of that this year.

I will say, though, that Horton and his expiring deal could be something of a wild card. If the Bruins, say, made an early move for a third line player like Morrow and still wanted to go for broke and add a stud veteran (again, Iginla or Alfie), I think Chiarelli would consider dealing Horton to a western conference team for additional assets/cap relief. He is the only player off the top 6 I think he'd consider moving and only if he could be replaced immediately with an upgrade. In that scenario, I do believe Horton would have tremendous trade value to a team looking for a rental.

Petr Forsberg!

But seriously, what about Milan Michalek? Sure he's been injured but last season he scored 35 goals and he's only 27. Je still has another year on his reasonable contract. At the deadline he may be available for the right price. Ottawa may interested in letting go of him with all the young guns coming and the high end UFAs this summer.

i think michalek would cost more (in terms of assets to get him) then boston would be willing to give up.

he's still fairly young, productive, good contract, not a rental. michalek has high value...sens would want, at the very least, 1st rd pick and a good roster player, or 1st and a couple of good prospects
