2023 NHL playoffs/offseason

[MrCrowesGarden]

Good on Doug for being ready, willing and able to pivot. He took Briere to school. 3 for $3.5 per is just fine.

as it stands right now, we're basically done

we now have 1.5 left under the cap and have to sign tucker and toropchenko

krug seems to be the one they're trying to move (obviously, as he and peru are completely redundant and shouldn't be on the same team)

I wonder when the draft starts tomorrow and players in this deep draft start falling, do those 25th and 29th picks become REALLY valuable, and a team krug would accept a trade to comes calling wanting one of this picks.

I'd think army has had those discussions, right?...ok krug, you don't want to go to PHI (I wouldn't either), can you give me a list of some teams you WILL accept a trade to?

[JCShutout]

Yeah, barring a trade, they’ve got to be done.

If they can’t trade krug and can’t quite get under the cap, they could always flip scandella for a late round pick. With just a year left on his deal, someone would probably take a chance on him.

yeah, something has to give...obv need depth, but once tucker re-signs we have 9 defenseman

Parayko, Bortuzzo and Faulk RHD

Leddy, Scandella, Krug, Peru, Tucker and Rosen LHD

[MrCrowesGarden]

It may have just been/likely was idle speculation, but I thought I saw chatter that they thought Krug would've waived the NTC if the Flyers would then turn him around to the Bruins.

Agreed, though Peru got a 2 way deal, so he could start in the minors. I assume tucker has plenty of options.

They can squeeze under the cap with the minimum compliment, and not need to unload scandella unless they like the offer. (No retained salary, etc) Scanner and bortz are gone after this year. I could see them if both flipped at the deadline for late picks.

Edit: oops, Peru got a one way deal. Who knows and we’ll see!

yeah, peru is a 1 way deal and tucker is out of options, so if we send him down, we expose him

[JCShutout]

Dang I don’t know who I had all mixed up in my head but yeah. Gotta move a dman. I wonder if they waive scanner or bortz if they can’t find a trade

[MrCrowesGarden]

I wouldn't be surprised if they find a team that Krug will waive his NTC for and basically make the reverse of the Hayes trade. Once you know your team doesn't want you anymore, it's hard to go back I think.

I think it was idle speculation because Boston has absolutely no cap space for a move like that.
