There's a sizeable gap between 2nd and 3rd. Way bigger than Hayes and a second.

The Bruins have Alexandrov and Cross and will likely get their big defense prospect at this years draft. There's talk about them putting a package together that could include any of their next three picks (or you could even throw in Wheeler) to get up around the 5 range to get one of Fowler or Gormley while still keeping Seguin or Hall. Ther Bruins have solid prospect depth, it's not like they have to keep adding and adding to it.

I really don't care that he did it. But think if he still had one of the top two picks and another GM did the exact same thing. He would loose his mind. He is one of the biggest hypocrites out there. Its just Brian Burke being him self.

To go from 2nd to 4th, which is still an excellent pick, is not a bad, especially when picking up a 2nd next year, and a pretty good pick from two years ago. Boston has 3 good centers, and for being such a good defensive team, they lack blue chip prospects on D. If they have a chance to dump Ryder I think it is something they at least have to consider.

On the surface yes, absolutely they are, but look at the term, and who Tampa has to resign. Stamkos 8+ for sure, Hedman, possibly 6+, they already have Vinnie locked up for too much. You have to look past the value of players and more into the contracts, and teams they are on.

Well he was raving about Tavares being so amazing last year and when asked about Taylor and Tyler he just brought up Daigle. That seems to me that he was alluding to it.

Do you really think Boston would give up the second for that? With the Bruins having alot of cheap rookies they can plug into the lineup it won't be too bad to bite the bullet on Ryder. Leafs fans really have to let that pick go. And if Pysyk somehow falls past the Stars at 11, there's no way he's getting past the Ducks or Bruins at 12 and 15.

Unless that top six guy is Kessel you won't be getting that trade.

I know that's why I wrote in the post "This was just a question to get inside a players head and see their reactions and reasoning's"
