I love this game...
Gaudreau - Monahan - Loui Eriksson
Colborne - Bennett - Hudler
Bouma - Backlund - Jones
Ferland - Stajan - Jooris
Bollig, Granlund, Shore, Poirer all get ice time
Giordano - Brodie
Russell - Wideman
Eric Gelinas - Engelland
Schlemko, Wotherspoon
Ramo
Ortio
Bruins have up and coming right wingers in Pastrnak and Smith who need ice time. They need to clear some space as they have to fit 3 forwards, 4 defensemen and a goalie under the cap with $10M in space. I think Eriksson gets moved to create that space and we have the pieces the Bruins might want - Some combination of Poirer, Granlund, Jankowski, Klimchuk, and the 2015 2nds would get it done I think.
Rumours have Gelinas being traded for an NHL ready young forward (something we have an excess of), and he fits what we need on defense (big, young, NHL ready). I think we make good trading partners with the Devils.
Neither move weighs us down going forward salary cap wise, as Eriksson only has two years @ $4.25M left on his deal and Gelinas is an RFA.
Looking at that line-up, barring injury, the biggest question mark going forward is in goal.
