There’s no right way to build a team, and your front office should reflect these mindsets. Look at the Toronto Maple Leafs: You have the young, nerdy boy wonder in Kyle Dubas, the man who helped build the CBA in Brandon Pridham, old school Mark Hunter, and Brendan Shanahan who started a revolution in the NHL head office before he scared them and they sent him to Toronto.
DON’T: Ignore some of those hires
If you’re going to make a huge, franchise altering trade, and someone objects, don’t fire them. Listen, and disagree, but don’t dump dissenting views.
Report: Canadiens let analytics consultant go after advising team to keep P.K. Subban | Hockey Inside/Out “Ultimately, this is the nature of this kind of work. Management makes their decision based on a variety of criteria. Their evaluation may have been different in this case, but there was consensus on other decisions through my time with the team.”

chowderandchampions.com/2017/06/09/boston-bruins-minnesota-wild-trade-rumors-heating/?utm_campaign=FanSided+Daily&utm_source=FanSided+Daily&utm_medium=emailSimilar to the post Seabass put up yesterday morning. Ryan Spooner and this yrs 18th pick to Minnesota for defenceman Jonas Brodin. Brodin plays the left and that's what they're looking for, a young defenceman to pair up with Charlie ManAvoy. Brodin is only 23 yrs old and still signed for 4 more years at 4+ million a season. He's not an offensively gifted defenceman so that maybe makes him an even better player with CM as Brodin plays a defensive minded game. He did have 25 pts last season but that was a career high, 3 goals 22 assists. Will Spooner and a 1st be enough to land this former 10th overall pick. He's only 23 but has played 5 seasons and has missed quite some time every season cause of injuries. Personally I think we'll have to throw in an extra prospect. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't one of our top 10 prospects plus I trust this team a lot when it comes to drafting.. Just imagine Carlo, MacAvoy, Brodin plus several prospects..

We'd would definitely need to protect him along with Chara and Krug so that exposes K.Miller, C.Miller and Quaider. If I was Vegas I'd be snapping up K.Miller and I'm not okay with that. I think I'd protect K.Miller and expose C.Miller and McQuaid. Also if we get Brodin how do we give him 20 minutes a night this year when he is still behind Chara and Krug on the depth chart. We have at least one more year of Chara, I'd take a long look at both Zboril and Lauzon (both strong prospects) for the third pairing LD. Brodin's 4 million a year deal is a great number but it still stretches us thin with the cap. I wouldn't be upset with the deal but I'd stay away if it was me.

Man you made a lot of points I wasn't even thinking of. If the trade were to happen, it would pretty much have to be after the expansion draft cause losing Kevan Miller along with the players included in the trade is just too much. Damn, if Bruins knew for sure Lauzen or Zboril were ready to step in, the trade wouldn't even be necessary. Kjc, after your post, I certainly had a change of heart and agree, shouldn't be done , at least not until we see who Vegas takes from us. Maybe they will take Jimmy Hayes although I very much doubt it. Maybe we don't lose a defenceman at all because they find enough elsewhere.

I I don't think Krug would be ahead of him on the team. I actually would have Krug 4th. Brodin is probably a better stay at home guy but Krug is better offensively or at least it appears that way from the numbers. Not sure if Krug or Brodin can play the right side but I wouldn't want to mess with Carlo, McAvoy or K.Miller's minutes. I'd like to see what shakes out from the expansion draft but that said a lot of these players are off the table after the expansion draft.

And we have to let the Expansion draft take its course first to see who we lose. If we lose Hayes, that'll be a gift. His 2.2 million{?} off the books and him replaced with a young gun. Then we have the 2 Miller, Mcquaid, MacAvoy, Chara, Carlo and Krug. That's 7 regular defencemen there guys.
Just recently, I was reading an article on Jonas Brodin, and they were saying his 25 points could very well be his career high as he's not an offensive minded defenceman at all. BUT the problem with Jonas is his injuries. In 5 seasons, he's only played at least 79 games once. God knows we have our share of injured defencemen. Do we wanna bring in another Mcquaid when it comes to the wounded. In saying all this, the kid is young, has tons of experience on a good defensive minded team in Minnesota and could certainly help us. IF we don't lose a defenceman in the E draft, maybe we can send Mcquaid, Spooner and a 1st for Brodin or maybe that's too much. That package should land you a Matt Dumba instead. Now I think that's the guy we should be pushing for. Not sure of his contract status but no problem getting that, only I have to take off..Later guys!

Too many injuries for a young Dman. I would stay away. We have our share of great young Prospects on Defense. Wait till E draft is over.

Now the interesting part of June happens. If we (Bruins) were playing hockey into June great but I'm talking about the expansion draft, amateur draft, trade rumours and free agent signings into early July. Seems like a lot of potential to really upgrade a team, more than a normal offseason.

Seems like a lot of potential to really upgrade a team, more than a normal offseason. I think it looks pretty certain now that Don Sweeney's long term plan all along was to upgrade our team through the draft and boy, sure seems like he's doing a great job. His strengths isn't in making trades, his strengths are in drafting system. Right now we may not make the playoffs next season without making a trade or 2 BUT if our prospects have good seasons and show potential to be good/great players with us for a long time, then I'll be completely satisfied. We have an opportunity to have a very good team for a very long time and DS deserves a lot of credit for that!!

Agreed, some of those odds are very questionable. Dallas and Montreal are way to generous. Maybe the new coach and Bishop can boost Dallas but the Habs haven't done anything. They are baby shit soft up front but they have a sound D and good goaltending. There best forward last season was Radulov and I don't believe they even have him signed yet. I think the B's finish ahead of the Habs this year and the Habs might be out of the playoffs. I got both Florida teams getting back in so something has to give.

Bishop will have to make a complete turn from last season. Maybe last year was an off season cause he was good for TB before that. Habs have nothing whereas we have a solid bunch of damn good prospects coming up the system. That's Donny's strength for sure. That's why we need him concentrating on that and someone else taking care of the trades, if that's possible. It would have to cross over DS desk but it may be better than Donny doing the dealing..

The hardest thing for somebody in that position to do is see their weaknesses. A great GM will surround themselves with staff whose strengths will offset their own weaknesses. Hopefully Donny knows this and the Asst GM et al. can look at trades.
