Lets not get into rumors etc..Just, who would you like to see them get.

Me, I'm going to go off-course here. The second he asked for a trade I've wanted the Bruins to got get Nino Niederreiter. His numbrs in the NHL, terrible. Played low minutes on the 4th line for that team last year, didnt get invited to camp and is fustrated in New York...I've seen enough of him to think he's a very good player with a huge upside in a bad situaton. I think if you brought him here now, put him on the third line, his potential would come to fruition. After that, won't be long before he's on one of the top two lines.

Again, i know his numbers tell a different story, I think if he came here he would be an impact player with a high ceiling. I would trade this years first rounder to get him.

Versteeg.  Always liked his game and was clutch for the Hawks.  Think he would be an ideal fit for the 3rd line and wouldnt cost a fortune...I've also stated my interest in Chimera, Clowe, Morrow and Hemsky as well.  I think any of these guy would be a nice fit for the 3rd line.   Sure Iggy, Perry etc etc are there but I don't believe we have the assets to trade unless the top lines are torn apart. 

In response to shuperman's comment:

He's out again.  Made of glass.

From the Panthers, little known and little followed Shawn Matthias would be a good third liner.

Why would the Panthers trade him?  They stink!

Anyone not named Huberdeau, Gudbranson, Kulikov or Markstrom is available!

Smid - left shooting reliable D, stuck on a team wih non-existant D and no team defensive stratgey. I think he'd absolutely shine under CJ. If he wasn't injured I'd suggest Filppula up front. In my dream world, Holmgren has temporary insanity and trades us Simmonds.

Well he did give Bryzgalov that contract...but he's dumb not doopid.

 

Dubinsky would be sweet but Columbus needs players like Brandon. Pierre-Marc Bouchard is an expiring contract and the Wild need a veteran defenseman like Ference, not straight up but part of the deal.I think Ference has to be in discussions if PC is not goint to resign him.

I know it is crazy to picture him with a spoked B but Ribeiro is a playmaking machine with an expiring contract. Clowe of course would be a great pick up, what i'm hearing is Wilson wants to add some expierenced post season defenseman.

 

Absolutely trade Ference, San.  Honestly, if someone in Providence can't at least mirror his awful season, they need to go get used car jobs.

In response to red75's comment:

Like the idea of Smid, althoug I have not seen all that much of his game.  B's need a left-side #3-4, so Seidenberg can pair with Chara.

In response to Not-A-Shot's comment:

B's are 17-4-3, why so negative?

Bingo.  The same guy I was going to list.  A strong, punishing d-man with enough skills to help out.

Maybe they can throw in Ryan Jones for some 3rd line help.

Or, Curtis Glencross from the Flames.  Like him, should be attainable, not too expensive.

I be happy with Clowe from SJ but yes they have and will do something. I am trying to be positive even though that loss last night bugs me. How ever big picture i am happy the way the team is playing at the  1/2 way point, not everything is perfect but what team is. As I am watching Montreal and Ottawa on the center ice package.i agree with Kel 33 no rumors just players you want them to get, oh ya Chimera would be good as well.

Tootoo for Thornton straight up, for some reason I think he'd get along with Marchand.

For the Bruins third line; Daniel Briere, David Clarkson or Brendan MorrowBriere doesn't want to leave Philly, but no one has more Playoff point than him
NJ probably won't part with Clarkson, but always thought he was Bruins material
Most likely possibility would be Morrow (tho Dallas is still on the edge of a Playoff spot) and would be a great fit for the Bruins, a very smart and steady, stabilizing veteran player

Seeing how well Michael Ryder is doing (9pts in 7 games with Habs), coupled with Chris Kelly's bad break certainly makes me think it might be better for Chiarelli to look to add some depth, sooner rather than later.

I love this place.

In response to Not-A-Shot's comment:

My sarcasm detector is off the charts.

Bouwmeester from Calgary...He dosen't have the points like he did in Florida, but I think he would help the PP and he's good on defence.

In response to Stuke50's comment:

That contract is not something i want unless you want ST on the 1st line next year.

"Very good point from Peter Chiarelli on @Toucherandrich about the lack of trade market b/c so many teams still in playoff hunt."

It's going to be awhile as I expected.

I'd tell Horton to get his head out of his azz or I'd try and move him.

Wish list

Clowe and Camalleri

In response to JWensink's comment:

I would also love both these guys.  Both playoff guys. 

Iginla. I know, it's not likely, but wouldn't he fit nicely?

Fat chance of the Bruins getting him but for the back end I'd like the return of Mark Stuart.  Up front, a guy who for some reason has morphed from being a one-season 30 goal-scoring wonder into a dogged, aggressive, hitting puck-hound.  6-1, 225 lb. Nik Kulemin. 

I also like the idea of Matthias I think he would be a good fit. Another player I like is Travis Hamonic. Anybody have an idea on what the Islanders would want in return? Another player I wouldnt mind is Raffi Torres. I know im gonna hear it but this guy can play, he hits like a truck and will chip in some goals and his energy could spark this team. Hes the kind of guy players dont like to play against.

If the Jets fall out I could see it - maybe for a second rounder? I know that may sound high but he's been very reliable for them. Given the Jets organizational lack in goalies - Stuart for  Svedberg plus a late rounder could  do it.
