Figured we will need a separate thread for the next week for strictly Bruins-related trade rumors.

I agree with this and would be happy with either but at this point, we do need one of them. Caps got better with the Dillon addition on D and Bolts got better with the Coleman addition.Kreider is the better player but I think I’d prefer Palmieri if only because he’s not a rental.
Assuming they are confident Kreider can play off-wing I'd rather take the better player this year. Bs have had incredible injury luck and will likely lose Krug in the off season. They will undoubtedly be a good team next season but are already great this season.Kreider is the better player but I think I’d prefer Palmieri if only because he’s not a rental.
I agree. It would be a shame to have this core "only" get 1 cup, and this might be the best last chance; yoou never know.Assuming they are confident Kreider can play off-wing I'd rather take the better player this year. Bs have had incredible injury luck and will likely lose Krug in the off season. They will undoubtedly be a good team next season but are already great this season.
At that price tag I see no reason to make the deal. A guy like Kreider or Palmieri just don't seem like anywhere near enough of an upgrade over a guy like Heinen (or even Bjork) to be worth a 1st and a prospect and the increased cost. Just because other teams make overpays doesn't mean the Bruins have to follow suit.1st, Backes, Heinen/Bjork, prospect (Steen-ish level?) if we follow the Rick Nash trade.
I wouldn’t mind trying to get Lias Andersson in a deal with NYR. He’s 21 years old, plays center and was the 7th overall pick in 2017. It hasn’t worked out for him in New York, he demanded a trade and left the team back in December. They let him join a Swedish team recently. Most prospect followers think he won’t be a top 6 guy but he could probably play in the NHL as a 3rd or 4th line center.
I’m one of Heinen’s biggest defenders but Kreider is a huge upgrade. Worth a 1st rounder and prospect? I’m not sureAt that price tag I see no reason to make the deal.

I agree with this take. Too rich for a rental. If he was under contract for next year, yes.I’m one of Heinen’s biggest defenders but Kreider is a huge upgrade. Worth a 1st rounder and prospect? I’m not sure
The Boston Bruins are exploring the market for a top-six scoring winger and one of the players they’re examining is New Jersey Devils forward Kyle Palmieri, a source close to the situation told TFP.
Palmieri, 29, has one-year remaining on his contract after this season and comes with a $4.65 million salary cap hit. He also owns an eight-team no-trade list as part of his contract.
The Bruins aren’t alone in their pursuit, however. Several teams are believed to be eyeing Palmieri, including the New York Islanders, Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames, among others.
Bruins GM Don Sweeney has a number of irons in the fire, as he’s also shown serious interest in New York Rangers winger Chris Kreider, who is on an expiring contract and can become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
The price tag for Kreider is believed to be a first-round pick, a top prospect, another asset and a conditional draft pick should he re-sign with the acquiring team. It’s not known what Palmieri’s price tag is, however, but a first-round pick and a top prospect or young NHL-proven asset could be the starting point.
The Bruins own their first-round pick in this year’s draft and it appears Sweeney is willing to part with it.
Devils interim-GM is believed to have some interest in Bruins forwards Sean Kuraly and Danton Heinen.
That’s not going to get you Palmieri. He’ll be a lot more expensive, he’s signed for another year.I wonder if NJ would put a higher value on Beecher than most given the Hughes connection. I'd imagine they are friendly after playing together, can't hurt to have someone in the system close to Hughes if that is the case. Beecher is so far away that he would be a better fit for NJ than NYR as well. Not that I want to see the B's trade him but if you can get NJ to take Backes + Beecher plus a 2 or 3 for Palmieri vs. giving up a bigger package for Kreider that might make sense.
Probably both.I don't know if it's an indication of the weakness of the Boston beat writers, how tight lipped the Bruins FO is, or some combination of both but the Bruins are definitely the most leak proof team in town. There were some rumors about Backes going to a western conf team, but I didn't see anything linking Kase to the Bruins. The Coyle trade last year came out of nowhere.
Get it done Donny. I'm fine moving Heinen, Steen + for Palmieri who has 1 year left of term at a reasonable cap hit. But no Bjork, Studnicka, Beecher or Vaak.In fact, even after adding Ondrej Kase on Friday, sources have told 98.5 The Sports Hub that the Bruins remain interested in swinging a deal for the Devils' Kyle Palmieri before Monday's 3 p.m. trade deadline.
Devils like Bjork and Heinen. Bruins prefer not to trade Bjork. Devils like Oskar Steen. The lack of a 2020 1st is an due but has not been a dealbreaker for the Devils.

Also may have something to do with the Bs not being interested in signing him when he came over.Kovy picking Caps over Boston makes sense, I don’t think we have a single Russian on the team currently, do we?

Similar trade offers from both teams, and the Habs asking him which team he would prefer?Explain to me how Kovalchuk would have the choice of his destination? This sounds like an agent throwing some shade at the Bruins for not signing him in the first place after initially showing interest in him.
They do this with vets.Explain to me how Kovalchuk would have the choice of his destination? This sounds like an agent throwing some shade at the Bruins for not signing him in the first place after initially showing interest in him.
I just came down to the habs not wanting to help out the Bruins, and the agent is using it as an excuse to needle the Bruins a little bit.They do this with vets.
He probably wanted to play with countrymen, Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Samsonov.
How is that needling the Bruins?I just came down to the habs not wanting to help out the Bruins, and the agent is using it as an excuse to needle the Bruins a little bit.
I’m with you, I want him back for the nostalgia. I’d guess they’d kick Nordstrom up stairs, Kuraly to the wing and Joe would be their 4C and PP guy.I know it’s sentimental and probably stupid, but I would love Jumbo Joe back for this run.
I imagine it wouldn’t take more than a 5th round pick at absolute most, and fuck if it wouldn’t be awesome to win one with him on the team.
I don’t think he fits. I don’t think it makes sense for the Bruins. But sometimes being a fan is more fun than being an armchair GM.
Subscribe! Jumbo Joe was the only fun thing about the Broons for a couple of years there.I know it’s sentimental and probably stupid, but I would love Jumbo Joe back for this run.

I would take Joe. They need more size. He can still protect the puck and finish around the net. Put him with Coyle and Bjork.Joe's slow as hell nowadays, isn't he?
He can come back as long as they bring out the Pooh Bears to wear. Let's go full retro.
I had an autographed Jumbo Joe Pooh Bear jersey #6, wife made me get rid of it but I can't complain too much since she did get me a Bergeron signed jersey many years ago. She waited in line to get it personally autographed. She tried to get the Lucic jersey but it sold out before Bergeron, sometimes better to be lucky than good.Joe's slow as hell nowadays, isn't he?
