00:00They have 56 points, and right now they are one of the wildcard teams.

00:05How confident are you that they're going to hold on to one of those spots, and is this

00:09a team worth investing in?

00:10I don't know how you can make that case right now.

00:12I'm not confident, and no, they're not worth investing in.

00:14We'll ask Razor tomorrow, on a Bruins Thursday, if now we can say the Bruins can make a hockey

00:20trade or retool, in the words of Cam Neely, because that is happening.

00:25That's happening around the league.

00:26The Rangers made a trade earlier this year.

00:28It was just a massive trade.

00:29You played Colorado, Carolina, and Chicago, three-way deal.

00:34I'd imagine that a shoe's going to drop in Vancouver.

00:36Two players there don't like each other, and they're going to trade one of them.

00:40Never heard of it.

00:41So I imagine another shoe's going to drop there.

00:43So at what point are the Bruins going to make a move?

00:46And it doesn't have to be to just sell and move Brad Marsham for draft picks.

00:49I would do that, but I would wait until closer to the trade deadline.

00:53You're officially out of it.

00:54But they should make a trade, period.

00:56Whether it is a quote-unquote hockey trade, where you're getting rid of something on your

01:00roster to bring something back, to spark the team to make a move, because sticking with

01:05the same group isn't going to work.

01:06I think that's clear now.

01:07Or if it's a retooling, in Cam Neely's words, they got to do something to shake it up.

01:11And that I'll stand by, whether you wait until the trade deadline or not, it's got to happen.

01:15I think they have, just double-checking, 12 games before the deadline.

01:19So even though it feels like a long ways away, because you have the Four Nations thing and

01:23everything else.

01:24No, no, it's not as many games, is my point.

01:27I don't think 12 is a ton of games.

01:28Oh, you don't think 12 is a lot?

01:29Well, between now and March 7th or whatever, there should be a lot more games than that.

01:35I'd probably guess, yeah, maybe more like 15 or something like that.

01:37Because they take a break.

01:38So they have, what do they got?

01:39Tomorrow night, they play Winnipeg.

01:41And then you get into the February slate.

01:43And then, so February 8th, they play Vegas.

01:45Then they don't play again until the 22nd.

01:47So I mean, that's two weeks off, a lot of time.

01:51There's a roster freeze there, but there's a lot of time to really assess.

01:54Yeah, right.

01:55The roster in that window.

01:56So March 7th is the trade deadline.
