Thought it might be helpful to get a thread going where users can ask for advice/feedback on making trades in their franchise and season modes.

Re: NHL 17 Trade Discussion

I am going to be starting a franchise with the hometown B's in the coming days and I want to give the aging veterans the first season to improve their value. I plan on either selling and rebuilding at the deadline or in the offseason. Only people off-limits are Bergeron & Marchand. Everybody else is available for the right price. What do you guys think I could get for Krejci? Rask? Chara (maybe a new stick and some pucks? lol) I want to do what the selfish awful Jacobs family is afraid to do in real life. Suck for a couple years, stockpile drat picks and rebuild through homegrown drafted talent

Krejci and Rask definitely have value, just might get complicated because of their high cap hits. I believe Chara will only have 1 year left if you move him in the off season. Probably could still be worth a 2nd round pick or mid level prospect to a cup contender looking to beef up their top 4.

Re: NHL 17 Trade Discussion

Merry Christmas Don Sweeney!! Your FIRED! The Boston Bruins parted ways with Sweeney who just could not understand the magnitude of his position The Bruins have hired BIGBADASS33 From upstate NY. A lifetime Bruins fan he has absolutely no experience other than playing beer league on Saturday nights at midnight because that's when the ice is cheapest. He was asked how he became the new GM of the Boston Bruins. He was quoted as saying " I saw an add on a job board and applied, next thing you know Mr Jacobs called my cell and we spoke and here we are!"

BIGBADASS33 Starts slow but the trades are coming.

His first trade sent a disgruntled Seth Griffith to San Jose for Joni's Donskoi and a 3rd rd pick in 2017! so far this trade is paying off in spade as Donskoi is off to a fast start scoring goals in his first 5 games also adding 6 helpers!

Next up a future building trade to relive some of the age of the defense

The Bruins trade prospect Justin Hickman and a 2018 4th rd pick to St Louis for Defensman Petteri Lindbohm. Lindbohn is a hard hitting defensman with a huge upside on the offensive side. He will play a lot of games in the Black and Gold! This deal has mad the defensive core full of prospects and younger players.

The previous deal freed up the new GM to pursue a future superstar. The Bruins trade defensive prospect Jeremy Lauzon to Columbus for Center Pierre-Luc Dubois. Dubious upsise and hands make him a perfect fit for the future Bruins at center when that dreaded day Patrice Bergeron retires.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Bruins and Oilers strike a deal!!!!

The Edmonton Oilers have traded their 2nd round pick in 2017 to the Bruins for Malcom Subban and Zac Rinaldo, a 2017 6th & 7th rd pick!

Subban was just not playing up to his potential and needs a fresh new start!

The Bruins have signed goaltender Joni Ortio to a 7yr deal worth 1.625 mil per year

The Bruins currently sit in 1st in the Atlantic Division with a 27-12-1 record!

I am gonna give Rask the first couple months of the season and see how he's doing stats wise and if he's doing well then Subban is getting the boot but if Rask is sucking it'll be Subban time in Boston

Re: NHL 17 Trade Discussion

I'm finding trading for certain elite players extremely difficult, even when matching all trade block requirements, overpaying and turning trade difficulty down to easy.

Examples (off top of my head, can't remember exact offers): 85 OVR Jordan Eberle + 2 firsts for Patrik Laine gets rejected. Or 82 OVR Ivan Provorov + 82 OVR Dylan Strome, 2 firsts for 89 OVR Oliver Ekman-Larsson gets rejected

I fiddled a lot with similar setups as above, but couldn't get anything done. I was able to get Ristolainen 87 OVR for a similar offer as above, as well as 88 OVR Forsberg..

Meanwhile.. I can turn 78 OVR Griffin Reinhart into 82 OVR Jacob Larsson easily lol

Re: NHL 17 Trade Discussion

Re: NHL 17 Trade Discussion

My owner wants me to improve our top 6 forwards... I was thinking Shattenkirk for Jagr, since Jagr is on the trade block. I could then use Edmunson and put Bowmeester with Petro.

I'm not big on that trade. You have Jagr for one year before he retires? I would put a package together with a pick for a younger forward. Maybe get an Evander Kane type player.

The price for Shattenkirk is much higher than that. At the draft the Blues were asking for 2 1sts and David Pastrnak, a young goal scoring winger from the Boston Bruins.

Yeah.. you're probably right. He's the best on the block that doesn't make $5 mil plus..

True.. but I have trading on hard.. so I'm not sure I'll get a ton.. I need a top 6 forward per the owner, and ideas?

Judging by the value bar on a new (no games played franchise) his value bar is like 90% full even with hard trading. So you could probably get something decent for him. What teams that should be in the playoff hunt are out of it?

I'm early in my franchise.. so I'll post back when I get closer to the trade deadline.
