00:00I don't expect much at this trade deadline.
00:03Now, I don't need him to trade a first-round pick.
00:05I don't need him to trade Hagans, Letourneau, Zellers, guys like that.
00:08I don't need you to trade your precious prospects if you've fallen in love with them.
00:13I don't need to trade you a first-round pick.
00:15But I also wouldn't expect much at this trade deadline listening to Sweeney.
00:18I don't expect anything.
00:20And I know some people kind of took the line of them like,
00:23oh, we might want to improve the team as where they're really going to add.
00:27I didn't read it that way at all.
00:28It was sort of like a we're-not-going-to-do-anything sandwich where you started out by we're going
00:34to look to see what we can do.
00:36Then they give you a little morsel of maybe adding stuff because you're the GM at the trade deadline.
00:41You better be talking about that.
00:42But then sort of put too many caveats on it.
00:44We need you guys with term and all this stuff.
00:46I read it as they're more likely to dump a player or two than they would be to add somebody.
00:52Yeah, which I would hate.
00:52I would hate that too.
00:53I would hate if I'm Pasternak and Geeky and McAvoy and even Swayman.
00:59I would be really frustrated if they're trading away pieces instead of supplementing the team.
01:05Look, you move a second, third, fourth-round pick, whatever it is, for a depth player, bottom six guy, third
01:11-pair defenseman.
01:12I would consider that at least fortifying your roster.
01:15I don't know how much you're improving your team, but I'd consider that fortifying your roster.
01:18I don't really know if you're buying in a meaningful way.
01:21You know, Breslow's like the king of this.
01:22You're adding like a Dustin May type at the trade deadline.
01:25At least you're fortifying your roster and you're not subtracting.
01:28The Bruins should not subtract.
01:30They should not be selling off pieces for future assets because I think that would send a bad message to
01:35the veterans in the room.
01:36I don't know if you're going to be selling off pieces for future assets.
