I want to know if Sweeney is working on a deal for Debrusk or a trade. He has 3 weeks to decide. I personally think DeBrusk is going to ask for too much and because of that he won't fetch as much in a trade as the other team will want to resign him. Donny will have to add to the deal with someone else. With Jake having goose eggs in the last 7 games and pretty much the whole season it is probably not conducive for him to entertain a sign and trade scenario. At this point would a 2nd rounder or better and a blue chip prospect get it done?

DeBrusk has been great past 2 games even though it didnt show on the scoreboard..If Sweeney were to trade him for a prospect or pick, we are still down a 2nd liner..It's a complicated situation because his numbers this season are way down, on pace for 40pts!! Yes I love Jake ever since the day we drafted him 9 years ago and he had a great season last year..IF he was producing along with playing a better 200ft game, the decision would be alot easier..I would keep him, hoping he would sign a 1yr deal and see what happens next season..Yes we could lose him for nothing but thats precisely what we did with Hall and Foligno, trade them for nothing..

For the record we didn’t lose Hall and Foligno for nothing. Hall was traded as a salary dump because of Sweeney’s ineptness and the signing rights to UFA Foligno was part of the deal. We got the signing rights to Alec Regula and Ian Mitchell who were both signed and are big contributors in Providence. I like Jake too but he’s had more than a fair chance here and hasn’t made the most of it. He’s already had his bridge deal and will test the market. Time to cut bait with him.

I know what we got from Chicago, and I say again, we got nothing compared to what the Hawks got..Forget Foligno as he was walking anyway but Hall is still a good player..Yea the trade might be helping Providence but as of right now, Boston Bruins got absolutely nothing to show in the trade except 2 ahlers although they might make team next season, maybe never,,WHY wasnt Hall a legit trade where we got something decent back like we gave away?? I realize the Debrusk situation is completely different and I should nt have mentioned Hall or Nic.. ps..a Big contribution to Providence, could not have said it better myself..But Fforr, I respect the hell out of you and apologize for the poor comparisn..

No apologies needed my good man and I loved Taylor Hall on this team. It was a poor return. Sweeney had himself over a self inflicted barrel. Not in a position of strength in the DeBrusk situation either.

Not in a position of strength in the DeBrusk situation either. Cannot agree more, it's a tough situation for sure..Jake was worth maybe 6 million last season, well cut that in half this season..Yes his overall game may have improved but with his speed, we need goals from him and he's not even on pace for 20..He might get hot going down the stretch but he's so darn inconsistant..He played realy good last night and even though he may be a little snakebitten going pointless in 6-7 games, he's not even close to being worth 5 mil a season as of right now.. Plus Bruins barely need to show up for this summers draft as they dont have a pick til 4th round..If a team offered a 2nd rounder even if its a high pick from a top 5 team, Sweeney is almost forced to accept it..Only problem is replacing him for this yrs playoff run..Cheers brother, have a great weekend!!

Lots of noise on Hanifin now that he wants to hit Free Agency

Seeing Scott Laughton rumours to the Bruins. 7 goals, 18 assists, 25 points this year in 56 games. I think he plays C or LW. $3 million cap hit this year and next two seasons. I don't see a lot of Philly but looks like he is playing on 4th line, 2nd PP, and kills penalties? Seems a little rich to me unless maybe Philly eats salary?

If Calgary would take Hampus Lindholm for Hanifin straight up and of course we would have to have a deal in place to extend Hanifin then I would make that deal.

I would do that deal now even without a deal in place. Hampus is another player with a NTC for 2 more years and a then a 15 team NMC

His skating has looked super slow this year compared to last year.

His skating has looked super slow this year compared to last year. I was thinking the same thing, he has to have a nagging injury. If that's the case and it could be healed with some time, I'd say take the time, but it might be something that can only be surgically repaired in the off season.

Mavrik Bourque would have a good ring in Boston and a Center to boot .

Left shot center with 575 games under his belt. Plays with a as bit of an edge , 104 hits would be 3rd on this team. 49% at the dot. Has played on a lot of bad teams in Philly, think he would fit right in. We’ll have the space next year. Don’t know that we have anything Philly wants though.

Who on the Bruins would you trade ? Debrusk, Ullmark, Grz. I'd probably consider dishing Forbort as well because I think he'll just get hurt again so that doesn't help us for playoffs and he is UFA so might as well try to get something for him while you can. I expect a first round exit whether we make moves or not at the deadline so might as well try to retool a little bit. Ullmark could be traded in the offseason but I think the sooner the better.

DeBrusk, Lindholm has a NMC so he would have to approve it, Gryz has to go but I think there is a better chance I grow hair on my head, Forbort should go. If the price was right I would let Freddy go. Might as well not have any balls left on the team. Unfortunately I see Lysell, Poitras or Lohrei getting plucked in a deal.
