Thread: Welp that sucked
Honestly all of the trades are cap dumps that I tried to make realistic. Didn't think of the fact that the ANA pick is 33 overall. Adjust the prices as necessary and even the teams, I'm just saying those are the three I'm shipping out to make cap. Send Hall anywhere that'll give us at least a 2nd for him and I think the B's will have gotten decent value.

Reilly I think is still NHL caliber and now that it's only a year left of term, I do think you can package him with a 4th to clear the space. Maybe Arizona? They're always game to get to the floor.

Abandoning the rotation killed the Bruins in the playoffs. I'm trying to keep that goalie rotation if at all possible, so I really don't want to use Ullmark just to clear cap space. 5m for a potential vezina winner is cheap money.

I'm hoping 1 of Bergeron or Krejci decides to come back for Marchy's sake and they take cheap money. If both retire, we are well and truly screwed. Coyle is not a 1C. If he's between Bertuzzi and Pasta, I think you can make an argument that Zacha can be a poor-man's 1C on a line that doesn't need him to be the driver. But without one of 37/46 we'd need to clear yet more space to bring in a free agent center.

Thread: This is it
I think McQuaid, much as we love him, won't bring any more than a 4th.

The biggest problem I think is that the B's aren't likely to put 3 young players like that on the 3rd line without an established defensive presence. I also believe that even though its probably where he belongs, they'll be reluctant to put a 6m salary on the 4th line. I love who Backes is and what he brings, but man do I hate that contract...

As for the D - Grzelcyk is a left D so he doesn't really fit in Miller's spot. Miller can play his off side, but Grizz has only played left side in the NHL. I have no idea what they'll actually do, but I could envision Moore on the second pairing with Carlo as a shutdown pair and them dropping Krug to the third pair, giving him favorable zone starts and doubling him up on the powerplay to get his minutes in. I'm honestly not sure what they do with Grizz after the Moore acquisition because I think he belongs in the lineup, but there may be no good spot for him.
