Idk I think Sami Vatanen is a better option for Boston to go after than Barrie, plus Barrie costs a lot more than that! I would also trade away Connolly, because he's really turned into nothibg more than a bust, he's hardly a 3rd liner. Santorelli had a terrible year and will get no more than 750K. Staal is not the answer for Boston his career is pretty much over. I also think it's in Boston's best interest to get rid lf Seidenberg and let Eriksson go. Seidenberg has 2 years lest at 4 mil per season and could be traded to team who needs veteren and defensive experience (though B's would retain salary) . Eriksson is expensive and yeah he had a great year but he's in his 30's and it'll be hard for him to consistently pit up these kind of numbers. Boston fans keep complaining about the contracts of Chara, and Seidenberg, if u signed Eriksson to that deal u would be complaining just the same.

This is just my take on it.

The reason I chose Barrie over Vatanen is because, in the end they are going to cost around the same amount in terms of a trade and a contract, and Barrie has more offensive upside, which is something their blueline is seriously lacking. Barrie has proven to be a star on a weak Colorado blueline, while Vatanen has the support of a strong defensive core in Anaheim. As for Eriksson, he is invaluable to the bruins now, he's a point producing (63 points) 2 way forward. He is a piece that they should keep around until he's 34 (duration if contract) . And you are right Eric Staal is not the long term answer in Boston, and that is why he was signed to a 1yr probe ut contract similar to the one Brad Richards signed a few years ago. He was still valuable in his role on Chicago, but there was never any intention of resigning him.

No from the Devils on both trades. The Devils need young prospects more than they need roster players. Also, there is no way the Devils are trading 11. There is a talent drop off after Brown, Keller, and Jost are selected.

Not close to enough for Barrie but the rest ain't bad.

I think they should keep Stempniak, but not at all costs. Valuable experience, and a sometimes scoring touch.

@henpow Oh i loved Eriksson's play last season he was pretty fantastic especially at the beginning of the year, but I think that if Sweeney really wanted to extend the guy than he would've had it done, just like Stammer with Tampa. Oh and Vatanen definitely would cost less than Barrie. Barrie between 6-7 mil, while Vatanen realistically shouldn't cost more than 4.5 mil.

Agree Seabass2011, I believe he'll stay - they can't send all of the last years average signings away, neither practically nor for the word it would send to the fans about how they handle business and long term planing.
He'll be a usefull/ cheap complement!
