well, if we can get a guy like recchi for the cost of recchi.
he cost the bruins nothing really.
the pens look unbeatable as far as the bruins are concerned...so
i dont know if they should blow their possible future.
but you never know. look at joe colbourne. we freaked when he got traded but he looks like nothing now.

I don't mind the idea of the rental, but the prices that have been paid in the past are just plain ridiculous. If PC pays the asking price for Iginla we're giving up a top end prospect, mid range prospect, and a high draft pick. Iggy can turn around and sign back with Calgary in the off season and they turned a shitty season into restocking the cupboard. I can't see Iggy signing back with the Flames, but you get my point. I personally think a rental should be one asset...period. We land JI and win the Cup...totally worth the cost, we don't and he leaves...wasted assets. Very high risk IMO.

But no way we get Iginla, or St. Louis for anything less than a pick, high end prospect and most likely a roster player. Recchi was in the twilight of his career, but both these guys are still very productive and valuable. Not that Recchi didn't produce and have his moments, but nothing like these two.

remember a couple of years ago the rumour mill was buzzing with St Louis going to Montreal? well wouldn't it just burn their fans collective asses to see him a Bruins Jersey???

Yzerman loves St Louis, I can't see him being on the block unless they have cap issues going into next season. I do like the sound of a Marchand/Bergeron/St. Louis line with Seguin moving up with Krejci.
CBC guys last Saturday were saying about how Iggy does his own thing and is not very coachable at this point. I don't know how true that is but Julien would not be good with that.

Take St Louis (as long as the price isn't crazy). You can always trade a guy like that in the off season and get back some of what you gave up. Hell, work a deal with Stevie Y to trade him, then send him back after the season. TB gets a pick or prospect in the end and we get a rental for the playoff run.

derek roy, jaromir jagr, curtis glencross, ryan clowe are other players the bruins are interested in.
i like jagr......he might not cost anything.
derek roy has become a journeyman....i dont know how good a fit he would be. smallish player.
clowe would be good but he looks on the decline.
i dont know anything about glencross.......wasnt he in that movie fatal attraction?

Isn't he like 87 years old? And yes, Glencross was in fatal attraction...if you're chinese.

i dont know anything about glencross.......wasnt he in that movie fatal attraction? Just did a few quick google searches on him and it sounds like he'd be a pretty good fit here. Decent size and hands, is physical. Not a gamebreaker, but would give us some half way dependable depth. This is one of the profiles I found. Plus, he's cheap and only has 2 years left on a $2.5M per year contract. forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?4092

Yup, pretty much what I was thinking too. I don't know what CAL would want for him, but you'd have to think it would be way less the Iggy. My question is, given his salary and what he brings, why is he available? ;D

The scoring talent that might be available will:
be expensive be old be gone in the summer be in heavy demand be another waste like Brian Propp
For that reason, I'd avoid getting into bidding wars for this group of players.
Now if the Bruins are in the trade marekt, then what I would want is a more physical player who'll add hunger and energy, and happy to be on a contender. And maybe they'll be given the chance to unseat a complacent regular.

Almost every trade deadline since he took over the GM job, the Bruins have been linked to some big names and he's passed on all of them in favor of complementary players. If these teams weren't asking so damn much for their aging stars, I would be more behind bringing in an Iginla, or St. Louis, but that isn't how it works.

Screw the Glencross idea. Bs already have this player in Paille. He didn't look out of place on Bergies line last night. I think he should be bumped up to the 3rd line at least.

I also don't think this is Boston's year, so no sense. While we debate the piddly goings on in the East, the West are beating each other to bits. Might be a Western year

Few long timers believed we'd see that in our lifetime. But if memory serves, the way they played vs Montreal early that season left little reason for optimism. But that big 8-6 game in Feb 2011 with all the brawls left me feeling better about theri chances, at least versus Montreal because it was a statement game. But come playoffs, I once again believed they had no chance vs Montreal (due to curses, Montreal rulebook, conspiracies, decades of playoff failure, hose jobs etc...) And I was nearly right.

Kipper informs the Flames he won't report if traded??? I understand his reasoning, but that's a pretty low move to a team that has given him everything.

Iggie's going to go and Boston just makes too much sense. You can forget a 1st, top prospect, and mid prospect after the Morrow deal. A 2nd rounder, Caron, and a bag of pucks probably gets it done now.

Flames look bad against Hawks tonite. All the drama has to be distracting. Iggy looks quick and solid, Glencross not so much. They got a D man named Brody that moves the puck. Think PC will still overpay.

The rumour is Malcom Subban as part of something for Jarome Iginla.
Please DO NOT trade Malcolm Subban. You can never have enough goalie prospects. Plus, Subban will be an absolute Hab killer. I just know it.
This is Pittsburgh's year to rep the East anyway, with or without Iginla. The Flyers won't be around to oust the Pens this time. The Flyers don't even have the horses to beat the Scranton Penguins, let alone the real ones.

I am not so sure anymore it makes any sense to do any deals. The price is too high and I just don't believe that they will go anywhere.
I am not trying to be the negative nelly here but after watching the last dozen games or so they are not playing with heart or drive anymore. Maybe they will wake up come playoff time but my spidy sense feels otherwise this time.

@murphyslaw74: Keep hearing Oilers D Ryan Whitney possibly being traded to Boston but nothing confirmed.
@tsnbobmckenzie: There has been considerable talk of Ryan Whitney being traded to BOS and Bruins have certainly done due diligence on his health etc., but...
@tsnbobmckenzie: ...the Edmonton Oilers say they haven't traded Whitney to BOS or anywhere else. That's as of now. No doubt they're trying to move him.
