Deadline

I'd rather keep Lysell over letting him go for someone that's more likely a rental. Other than that good deals

Ya I’m not sure what the likely hood of resigning him is but I don’t know why he wouldn’t if the bruins offered him a fair contract especially if you put him in between hall and pasta. But definitely I would only trade Lysell if there’s a good chance of him resigning

True, it seems like the window is closing though on the core we had before a retool truly takes place. Would rather keep the young guy so when the retool does happen he'll be ready to go

With the rebuild you either have to replace Bergeron or completely rebuild, I think Marchand has quite a few years left but Bergy might only have 2 left in him at most

We have the pieces to retool, getting someone in FA would be great but that's hard to do. I see the trade and where it makes sense, would just rather try to keep Lysell for the future and try to get that 1C through a different trade or FA
