If we do that then we have McAvoy, McQuaid and Miller on the right side with no NHL depth to speak of and we all know one of McQuaid and Miller (and I like both) are on the shelf a lot.

I would prefer to keep Carlo. Krug or Gryz would be good.

I do think McDonagh would be an upgrade right now over Carlo but long term would be bad.

Tough decision if it actually came down to either or..I think Carlo is having a fair to poor sophomore season. If only we knew what he would look like next season and its easy to make a decision if we knew it would be the difference of a cup but we dont know that..I'll support Sweeney in whatever he would do on this one. Sometimes I do think we have Carlo rated to high..He lacks much physical play for his size and he has no offence at all..Even Quaider gets 1 goal a yr..

That's still the record, 11 players scoring 20 or more goals, can that be broken in the salary cap era? Will Grapes be making the trip?

From the article madmarx posted earlier Option 5. Brandon Carlo plus Jack Studnicka or Trent Frederic, and Bruins 2018 or 2019 1st round pickDoes this mean that Sweeney may not be interested in offering Z another contract next year? Does it mean Krug's days are numbered? One of those should be true because we shouldn't have Krug's 5.25 million dollar cap hit on our third pairing. I'm not saying I'm closed to the idea anymore because Bergeron and Krejci don't have many playoff runs left as top line centers. My worry is that Miller and McQuaid won't hold up to a long Cup run and then we have Postma and Krug as our third pairing.

I wouldn't do it. I like McDonagh, but I think Carlo's upside too much to trade away. I'd like to think that one day, Carlo and McAvoy will be our version of Seabrook and Keith, respectively.

I think Chara coming back next is all but guaranteed unless he falls of a cliff between now and the end of the season..

Was thinking about this the other night. Brandon Carlo is probably up around 20 minutes a game.in 54 games he has 0 goals, 5 assists, 52 shots on goal and 56 hits. Pretty much a serviceable defenseman who doesn’t really shoot or hit that much at all. His biggest asset might be his cap hit. Wish there was more depth on the right side but moving him wouldn’t cripple the organization. Would rather have seen Landeskog skating on Krejci’s wing for the past year than Spooner.

More disappointed with 1hit/game for a 6’5 220lbs 2nd pairing d-man.

My only concern about Carlo is that he's having a sophomore slump and he's ceiling is much higher. Moving him is gamble, one injury on RD and we're exposed for the playoffs.

Also if Carlo was drafted in Zboril's spot, 13th overall, would we be discussing moving him already?
Bringing in McDonagh pushes Grzelcyk out and clogs things up for Zboril and Lauzon next year. Just small things to consider.

I guess if they sign him and he's earmarked to be Z's replacement then it's not a horrible idea. Still he may not want to stay here.

McDonagh is signed through next year. One year though before his asking price goes to 9 million? a year. Also we're giving up another year of Carlo at less than a million and maybe a 3-4 million dollar cap hit going forward. I'm not arguing for or against but it's risky, Sweeney could be haunted over this one. If we anticipate a drop off from Z during the playoffs and a drop off next season then maybe we should get this done. If they still have any hope of Zboril and Lauzon being NHLers I still think Krug will need to go over the summer.

The D is fine, lowest goals against in the league. They just need to tighten up a bit, and have fewer of the brain-farts we’ve seen in the past two games.
Also I think we're missing Miller more than we're admitting. Mcquaid cannot do what Miller does. He's a much better puck moving defenceman and in my opinion has more hockey smarts. Maybe the most the Bruins need is a return of Kevan Miller to the line up?? Does anyone know when he's supposed to return??
