Or we could just get our crease figured out for the year and see what gillies and ortio can do this year. Why give up on Gillies when he finally has a chance to show what he can do

McDavid was a simple counter point to you saying Rask will be 35 in 6 years. Just saying a lot of players will be 35 and 35+ in number of years.
You're not gonna find a Rask in free agency. Did you see the UFA class this year? It's getting worse and worse every year.
Rask is 29, he doesn't need to trend upwards he needs to stay at his already elite level. I didn't say Rask is a missing piece, I said having him would make us a contender, do you doubt that? this year and next few years.
Last point, Gillies might be great or he might be a bust. We don't know. If you can get a Rask at a cost of Gillies+ you do it, imo.
Regardless, I doubt the Bruins are trading Rask anyways.
