If I’m Philly I wait to the trade deadline a player like Simmonds would fetch them a Kings ransom and possibly put a team over the top . I see what you did there. Sorry sometimes I can’t help myself 😉

I'd be nervous about getting Simmonds, if we traded for him tomorrow we have him this year and next. After that he's 31 and probably looking for a Backes type deal. I had the Philly broadcast last week and they said he was battling a hip injury this year. I wouldn't give up one of the kids for Simmonds but maybe Krug.

They're talking possibly a 80 million dollar cap next year.

I'd like Backes a lot more if he made 3 million a year and not six.

So you'd basically fritter away your assets for somebody that might only be here 2 years. Leave him alone and keep working with the kids.

Totally agree I’m up trading deadwood to create spots for younger Players.. the reason they got backes and the reason simmonds would be good is b/c of the sale of the bruins product of being big bad bruins...we love the bruins cuz there are players on the team like that. flames and preds are interesting teams..

The Ducks and now Vancouver have to be dying for a center, can't believe we can't unload Spooner on one of them and eat half of Beleskey's salary to move him as well.

Certainly makes for a great discussion but RH, personally when we're healthy I think our offence is fine. BUT I really REALLY think if Bruins are looking to trade, it should be for a solid defenceman. He doesn't even have to be offencively gifted cause we're fine in that regard But I'm getting tired of so many turnovers thats costing us points. I want a dman that is solid in his own end, dedicates and prides himself in keeping the puck out of our net and keeping players away from our netminder. A defenseman that would be a fan favorite to Rask or Khudobin..AND a stay at home defenceman will not break the bank. Opinions please!

Opinions please! Ogara, Zboril, Lauzon, Wiley Sherman I like Lauzon most, Zboril probably has the most raw talent and O'Gara is a viable call up. I know Sherman is huge but I know nothing more about his potential. If this team is ready for a deep run this year I'd be good with Chara/McAvoy Miller/Carlo Grzelyk/McQuaid Postma and O'Gara I wouldn't mind shopping Krug if the front office had something big like a top six forward in play.

Bud, what about packaging Krug and Spooner together and if they want to save for a future trade, include Beleskey?? Sounds to me like you have alot of confidence in Matt Grez in the time we seen him..Cant say I blame you, so do I..

Grz is just a safer player, while Krug just takes too many chances and gets caught out of position I think. Grz is a plus 5 and Krug is a team worst -10. Grz has been playing during a strong team stretch while Krug endured a rough October for the team and he also missed most of training camp and was behind a little. Krug does 20 mins a game probably against better players than Grz but I'd like a bigger sample size before I jump to conclusions. Krug could be a great team guy and moving him could be detrimental to the room, you just never know.

"We've tried to instill that attack mentality in him, be aggressive not reckless," said Cassidy. This stood out for me in the Grz article link you posted. I think Mr. Krug can be borderline reckless. Thoughts??

His first three seasons here he was a plus, last a minus -10 and so far this year a minus -10. I know his responsibility has gone up once his salary went to 5+ million a year , we always use to question if he was a second pairing guy or a third pairing guy plus PP specialist. Either way he needs to clean things up.

I will give him some slack for now because of his rough start to the season , but his play needs to start trending up soon . He also needs to lead the Kids by example and not be a turnover waiting to happen..

Either way he needs to clean things up. Think he’s pressing for sure. He’s also been taking a pounding. Maybe Backes helps in that regard. Do think he’s a leader in the room. Tied for 5th in team scoring. Does need to pick his spots better. A lot of minus players on that team, they struggle to score. Gryz has been good but has the waiver thing working against him. Unless there’s a team out there in love with Krug.... Second trip to DL for Spooner for groin issue, not good for Donny.
