Into The Den BRUINS TRADE DEADLINE REVIEW!!!
Well that was an uneventful deadline and one that I am very happy about welcome back down into the den everybody uh yeah the trade deadline has come and gone uh I mean we are we are less than we’re less than half an hour until Puck dropped on uh on the Bruins Penguins
Game for today so I’m just going to try and get this out as as quick as I can I well it’s not really the best idea but it’s what we got it’s what we got but yeah this the the trade deadline has come and gone and for the first time since
Co we have not really the really the first time since like 2017 the Bruins have the Bruins have gone a the Bruins have gone an entire trade deadline without making a big move and it’s all that I wanted it’s all that I wanted and then more sorry just as a little refresher
2018 we we move a little bit for we move a little bit to get Rick Nash on the last uh on the last few years of his of his career here here 2019 we move Heaven and Earth to get Charlie Coy and man has that paid off
2020 H there’s and there was a little bit of something I wonder if you can really pick up on it 2021 of shoot 2021 and oh yeah 2021 and we absolutely fleeced the Buffalo Sabers for Taylor Hall uh 2022 we we trade a first we trade a first and second and
Earl v9 and F in for uh for hampus lolm um and then 2023 I really even need to to tell you what happened last year we like yeah we we moved Heaven and Earth to to get Demitri orov garnet hathway and and to berzi and then you know exactly how that
Ended in any case yes this year 2023 2024 first deadline since 20 since 2017 in which the deadline went on uninhibited and the Bruins did not make a big move we made only two we traded Jacob aboral and a late round pick to the uh to the Columbus Blue Jackets for
Andrew Peak and we traded a conditional 2026 sixth round pick to the Minnesota Wild for Patrick M yep Fat Pat is finally in Boston I know a lot of people who have a who have some mixed feelings about this trust me I I I feel I feel those same
Mixed feelings things but in terms of what this means for the Bruins it means that they played smar at this deadline what did I say I said that I wanted the Bruins to be to stay to stand Pat at the deadline and that’s what they did fundamentally like Andrew Peak he’s
Probably going to be as much of a a taxi Squad guy as Jacob’s aboral Well Pat maroon when he is when he gets healthy he’s going to when he gets healthy he is probably going to be at best a fourth line enforcer and at worst also shifting in
And out of the lineup uh probably shifting in and out of the the AHL but there was a there was a little bit of a there was a little bit of a rumor going around that the Bruins were going to trade Jake that the Bruins were
Part of a three team trade with with the Penguins and the Canucks in which the Bruins would get in which the in which the Penguins would get would get Jake de brusk the the Canucks would get Jake gensel and the Bruins would get Elias Lindholm which uh
Man I would I would have hated that I really would have hat that I really think that Elias lolm is the third best player in that in that entire trade and yes I know we had wanted Elias lyh home for a while offensively speaking he is offensively as a but really analyzing it
There is very little that that Elias lolm brings to brings to a Boston Bruins roster that jakee debrus does not already does not already cover the only thing that he covers is Center eyes that’s it that’s it is is just the fact that he is a center rather than rather than a
Winger and do we do we need Center depth yes yeah of course we do the fact that ptra is out right now the fact that ptra is out for the season and is a big problem for our Center depth the fact that we won’t call up
Beer is a problem to for our Center death but do I think that that we should have tried to make this this this trade no not at all I kept saying the best thing that the Bruins could do this off this this trade deadline is is wait until hampus Lindholm is
Healthy and that seems to be what they did that really seems to be what they did D Lindholm he’s he’s still not he’s still not there yet but I would take hampus LOL over Noah Hanan I would take I would take Jake de brus over Elias lhol the only way that I
Would trade Jake de brusk is if I knew that we were going to get Jake gensel in return and uh oh boy the the Carolina Hurricanes completely flee Kyle dubis there making him look like a freaking rookie on the job uh yeah that was that was ruthless that what they
Did I think the I think the hurricanes have a really good Prospect coming up I forget what his name is but i’ but I’ve heard that he’s really good and the fact the fact that the the fact that the fact that uh the fact that dubis didn’t pound the pavement for and
To get to make sure that that Prospect is part of the deal well very much not endearing him himself to Pittsburgh already and I I’m happy that we didn’t make that mistake I’m happy that we didn’t make any mistakes this this TR this trade deadline because realistically
Speaking what could we bring in that is going to make this that is going to make this roster better we’re slammed up against the cap already we’re slammed up against the cap uh there is very little that we can do there’s very little that we can
Do and we made a couple key a couple moves moves about that and and ultimately our team didn’t get better I’ll I’ll just put it out there our team did not get better but our team also did not get worse except for one one key Point morale par with lenus Alark yesterday Mark left Warrior ice pretty unhappy for pretty good reason I would say that’s I would say it’s for pretty good reason because the Bruins were looking to ship him out the Bruins were were looking to ship him out but they couldn’t find anybody that wasn’t
On all Mark’s 16 team no trade list to to take him and that omark knowing about that I’m I don’t blame him for being unhappy I really don’t blame him and and honestly that’s the one thing that I’m going to blame Don S4 if you trade away Omar in the middle
Of the Season you’re punting the rest of you’re you need to you need to pun the rest of what of the way you’re you’re not if you get rid of Omar right now you you are basically telling everybody not just not just the F not just the fans but also the entire but
Also the roster we are not competing and this roster wants to compete this roster wants to compete and and and uh and omark wants to be here now am I opposed to am I opposed to trading away in lenark entirely yes I am but but if you are going to if you’re going
To trade do it in the off season do it before the draft you need to do it before the draft if you’re gonna if you’re going to trade them away we don’t pick until the fourth we don’t pick up until the fourth round the entire top 100 will at the
Entire first 100 picks will be gone without hearing the Bruins once and we were already and we were already a little bit frustrated last year when when we went we went all the way to the third round and take here the to hear the Bruins and Chris Pelosi I think I think
He’s going to be okay I really don’t think I really don’t think that he’s going to be anything incredible well now now let’s not let’s not be let’s be real the uh the best the the best pick was uh was Christian kadinsky the uh the seventh round 18-year-old old mutant defenseman and
Who to his credit I’m very I’m very happy to see I’m very happy to see because is I mean what is it you can ask Andrew from the short shift and Puck off and you can ask it’s Chris noek from the from Puck off and and what’s brewing uh
Cuz we were at Dev Camp last season we were at Dev Camp last year and we and we saw kadinsky get got taken aside by by Adam McQuade and and and shown how to stop and shown how to turn and and we and all three of us erupted in laughter
When when he did it and and he just shouted like this but looking back on it that sort of you got to have you got to have some of that you got to have players that want to be able to be taught now this is getting onto a com
Now this is getting onto a tangent but yeah but to bring it back to the so let’s bring him back to the deadline am I do I think the Bruins got that better no do I think the brones got worse absolutely not and that ultimately makes this deadline a makes
This deadline a really good one for me we didn’t make any sort of knee-jerk decisions and the closest one that the closest one that we got was one and that had to be overturned because because nobody UND because as people forgot about the the 16 team no trade list that that allar has
And yeah I’m real I’m really excited for the last uh for the last like 15 or 16 games left of the season I don’t know about you guys but that’s going to be it for me for right now I will see you guys after the Pittsburgh game take care let’s see
Let’s see how they play without gel
HOORAY FOR NO RASH DECISIONS!!!
