If we land JT, Rick Nash will be totally off the radar. Besides I think Donato showed enough in his debut to win that 2nd line RW job.

DK $$$$ wise Can't be Krejci this year but I'm thinking a Backes buyout. I'd be shocked though if JJ is as casual about a buyout (as I am) seeing he's writing the cheque.

I've been hearing a lot of Klefbom to the Bruins talk. Could Krug be going the other way, it would save us 1 million in Cap. Hopefully we get something else and it's not one for one.

Think the whole Nash “retirement “ talk was due to all the gushing over Kovi 2.0. He’s outta here, a good thing. The heck with JT, we’re talking 11/12 mill per year. Like to kick the tires on Perron.

While I'm excited about the prospect of landing JT, I'm also very nervous that if it actually happened we could be in cap hell and change the salary structure of the team.

Carter Hutton - Blues still in the mix but would likely have to move beyond 2 years. Not sure STL willing. Red Wings, Bruins and Hurricanes also among interested.

Well as much as we needed him last year. I'm hoping the best for him. Maybe he lands a #1 job somewhere. Out west so we dont face him on a regular basis....

I've been hearing a lot of Klefbom to the Bruins talk. Could Krug be going the other way, it would save us 1 million in Cap. Hopefully we get something else and it's not one for one. Oscar Klefbom drafted 19th overall in 2011 has 24 goals 70 assists for 94 points in 255 games, all with Oilers. He's 6'3' 215 lb. His best year was 2016-17 when he had 12 goals 26 assists for 38 pts in all 82 games. One thing I dont like: he's a fairly big guy but only has 34 career penalty minutes. Past season he had 18 pm's, more than he had his previos career combined.. Comparing stats, Krug had 30 goals 95 assists for 125 points in his 1st 240 games BUT his 2 best offensive seasons were his last 2, not included in those previous stats. Krug has amassed 22 goals 88 assists for 110 points during those 2 seasons. And this season was his best with 14 goals 45 assists for 59 points, same point total as PK Subban but Krug played 6 less games than PK. Problem with Krug isnt his size cause Matt Grezylk is almost the same and he does fine in his own end as pointed out by Seabass. Grz is far better defensively. Krug is a PP specialist but in his defense, of his 59 points this season, he had 9 goals 26 assists 5 on 5 or shorthanded.
I dont know if I would do a one for one swap. Klefbom's cap hit is 4,167,000 til the 2022-23 season. Krug's is 5,250,000 for 2 more years and both has a Modified NTC in their last 2 seasons. I guess Sweeney knows it could be now or never for Krug as he dont need his permission until the start of 2018-19.. IF McAvoy is ready for #1 PP duties, maybe we can trade him thanks to having Grz. Seabass convinced me of all this, lol..BUT the question KJC is: Do we need a defenceman coming back?? We have McAvoy, Chara, Carlo, Grezylk, Miller, Quaider and I'm hoping Lauzen or Zboril is ready.. www.nhl.com/player/oscar-klefbom-8476472

So that begs the question: Did Carlo play a postseason game yet?? I'm not sure what I was thinking there my buddie, maybe I wasnt thinking at all considering our past history behind our blueline but Im happy you corrected me. Lol, maybe I needs to be put in my place more often. I bet the wife would agree..

The more I think about the Tavares thing the less I like it. Very doubful it happens anyway so I won't lose any sleep over it. Giving away prospects to dump salary and breaking up the top line, one of the best lines in hockey to get a guy that'll cost us a minimum of 12 million a year is too much shuffling for me. We made good strides last year and we should continue with that same momentum. Leave it the fuck a lone please!

JT or no JT, there's no fucking way I would send Krejci to Montreal much less throw in JFK to sweeten the deal. Backes might be a good pick for Blues considering Bruins have 16 of the 30 million already paid to Backes but I dont like the idea of throwing in Trent Frederic. He could be on our 3rd line this season. Sweeney HAS to keep in mind how successful this team was last season and whatever vision he had when he took over as GM is already here and that vision is brighter than ever. He should stay the course, it's just been working way way way to good so far.

Kev, If we did trade Carlo, do you think McAvoy is ready for prime time PP time and be successful?? Personally, I think he's pretty darn close. He looked average last season but that cause he had average players around him on the powerplays 2nd line. I think if you put him out there with the likes of Bergy, Marchand, Pasta, he would do great, especially after a few games. He's already a great passer. But where he has to improve is his defence when they're on the offence. He's already great in his own end but when the Bruins are pressuring the other teams end, he has a tendacy to get caught sometimes.. But no doubt he's gonna be a gem and I think this season he'll be ready to put up far better offensive numbers. That's a big reason I think why Krug is expendable..

Lmao, our posts are almost identical, well our thoughts are..How many times did that happen last couple seasons?? Good minds think alike eh? Haha I agree %100! Too much for too little. He ain't gonna carry the team to SC alone & we would be giving up to much $$$ & prospects for one guy. is he good hell yea but not for what it's really gonna cost in the big picture!!

can't crap on management for it because at the time Subban hadn't showed he can play at the NHL level but in hindsight it is too bad they waived Subban and he got claimed.
