Ryan Wilson: Crosby leads Penguins over Oilers and passes another legend Crosby leads Penguins over Oilers and passes another legend

Bruins are in a free fall right now and all of a sudden, 2 WC spots could be available.

I am still adamant about keeping the status quo by being definite sellers at or near the TDL. If we get in, great. It’ll give the young guys some value experience. If not, no worries because our draft should be a little better.

*From the last comment section*

Yeah I agree. Honestly Beau, Hayes, DOC or Ned at goalie really wont move the needle. Especially with potential younger talent coming up. I know Pettersson would be a loss, but honestly he could potentially bring a huge return and potentially much like last year with the Guentzel trade potential players who could this team in the future. I think they are thinking POJ, Grzelcyk, and Pickering will be our LHD. Which they all have been playing good.


Dubas could also do a hybrid type of trading where maybe he sells off Beau, Hayes, DOC and Ned. Retains cap for a separate deal for picks/prospects and then trades some of what he received in separate deals for a younger or multiple younger change of scenery players like he did with Tomasino.

I think the whole bottom 6 except Lizotte should be traded, as well as glass when Geno returns. Nothing to do with performance or lack there of. Those are the 2 bottom 6 centres and the rest of the spots go to the kids. Lizotte can run a 4th line of bangers and Glass can have a more skilled set of linemates like ponaromov etc.

I'd be ok with that. Don't even need to keep Glass.

I'd assume Hayes stays and that there won't be any takers for Puljujarvi unless he really improves his stock. Acciari I think will be here too because of term. Nieto I'd love to punt somewhere but IDK if anyone wants him. I'd personally be fine keeping DOC if he isn't getting a good return, but writing is on the wall there.

So I'm not sure how many spots will actually be open. McGroarty, Broz, Koivunen (and for me Poulin) could all come up. Bennstrom is a possibility if they need another since he's been WBS's actual top player, though he feels redundant. Ponomarov probably gets a look too, I'm just not as high on him.
