habs1119 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It seems that Bob Gainey is trying to get Brad Boyes into la sainte flannelle here's a link <link removed; others forums do not count as a source> So the rumored trade is to Mtl Brad Boyes possibly another asset to St-L SK74 MaxPac 1st rd 2010 Boyes is under contract for this season and 2 more at 4mil per. He's had 40+ and 30+ goal seasons, he's 6'0'' 195lbs R handed C/RW This works under our cap this season and may need tweeking to fit it in for the next 2..... but.... My question is, do you do this? Imagine the top 6 lineup Camm - Gomez - Gionta AK - Pleks - Boyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbarker78 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 If Gainey can pull this off it will easily be his best move yet.Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 If Gainey can pull this off it will easily be his best move yet.Do it. Yep, for certain... However, why would St. Louis make this trade? St. Louis, last season, showed that they might be ready to start getting back into the post-season on a regular basis, so why deal one of your best (maybe THE best) forward you have? I would make that deal in a second. I doubt it will happen, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the top 6 lineup Camm - Gomez - Gionta AK - Pleks - Boyes To answer your question absolutely YES !!! However, my question is, why would St. Louis even think of trading Boyes, they have a very good team that is winning and are not in need of cap dollars. This is a strange rumor.

swimmerpuck Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 There doesn't happen to be a viable source for this rumor? But playing along I'd be okay I guess if SK74 is still demanding a trade. Couldn't they send us a little something else since we appear to be throwing our future away. A D-man prospect or how about a top 4 D-man? How about a top 6 D-man? Okay then, just Boyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deal, like what's presented above, is entirely fair for someone like Boyes. And quite frankly, Sergei K. has zero value now anyway. Boyes could score us 30 goals and 40 assists under the right circumstances. Maybe even better if he had a great year. Giving up a 1st rounder, Max Pacioretty, and Sergei K. for that would be the easiest deal in the world if I was G.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that they may be more interested in getting the K-Bros together (which would be alright by me btw) for Brad Boyes... and dollarwise it works better for both teams IMO... and there would be no need to lose a Pacioretty.

vince271121_mtl Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 id rather give up ak47 and keep paccioretty and 1st rounder seems alot.but it wiould be great if under the right circumstances. by the way i didnt read jen rockets post before typing mine , so i did not steal his term ''under circumstances'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babinator77 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 i'd be pretty jazzed to get a player like boyes but, as it stands, i have no clue what happens to our team next season cap-wise let alone with an additional $4mil salary. would we have to go through sweeping changes all over again?!

habs1119 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 There doesn't happen to be a viable source for this rumor? The source is just some guy they call DT "Deep Throught" But really, this is just for fun. If this is real though, I would do this deal. It hurts to give up young talent like Patches but you have to give to get. Why would the Blues do this? Could be cash reasons, could be he quietly asked for a trade, could be the GM is on crack (I'd like the 3rd reason so we could offer up some crack and a smoked meat sandwich instead of Patches).

tony5775 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Another forward who never wants to go into his own end. Thats why St Louis would do this deal. We will be giving up more then we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs1119 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 why not throw Hammer into the deal for Boyes, makes it a nice tidy package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 why not throw Hammer into the deal for Boyes, makes it a nice tidy package! Because St. Louis wouldn't be interested in aquiring Roman Hamrlik. None of this makes sense... Brad Boyes is, more than likely, not going to be traded. It's fun to imagine that he WOULD be traded, but it seems highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracie12 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Folks, when a rumor comes from another message board, and starts off "member of another site, got this from a different site" Its not legit. Say what you will about Eklund (trust me, most of the moderating team here doesnt like him any more than you) but he does have a 'real' site with some fairly credible writers, which is why we've allowed his rumors to be posted here. If we allow every post from other message boards, we'd have about 100,000,000 rumors to sift through. Closed. I put this in for fun and as a "What would you do" kind of thing. And thats why it deserves to go into the existing thread: "If i were Gm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
