I don't think the Bruins are actually trading Seguin, and if they do I don't think think it's for salary reasons. The B's aren't in that bad shape under the cap. So they won't be selling for pennies on the dollars.

Say they really do want to get rid of him: I'd say

Backlund+Gadreau+2014 2nd

could make sense. Boston gets some cap relief, immidiate help with a good 3rd line C (who I think is ready to break out into a 2nd liner with an all-around game), a good Boston college kid prospect, and a high second. They'd probably want the first but there's no way Calgary has any of that. The B's would first need to get a RWer from somewhere though.

But as I said, that's only if they're openly shopping him, and I'd imagine other teams would offer more. If they're fine with him and just wanted to kick him in the nuts, like I believe, hey won't be trading quality for quantity.
