Boston Bruins ‘22-‘23 Bruins roster and trade proposals discussions. II

[The don godfather]

Reilly needs to go but assets will cost . Teams knows this. Kinda stuck in a corner here hopefully donny has a ace in his sleeve.

For the first time maybe ever, there isn't one thing I would change with the Bruins lol.

That’s where I’m at too, Lou.

They have to though in order to bring Forbort back.

I’ve been concerned this entire time about the cost of getting a team to take a contract like Reilly. But other than that, I don’t have a single problem with the roster. I don’t see passengers or roster spackle.

I think they could definitely use some jam in the lineup. A 3rd/4th line player who can scare a little.

I also think it’s valid to be worried about what happens to Gryz in the playoffs, and can Carlo stay healthy.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I would like another good offensive d and definitely want more speed at center. If they are very lucky, they might be able to get Klingberg, depending on Monty's opinion of him. They will have to compensate for the center speed through coaching, which I think they are doing.

I don’t understand the right D pairings when everyone is healthy.

I want to have Lindholm and McAvoy in different pairs.

Lindholm and Cliffy has worked better than Lindholm and Carlo by a good margin.

Forbort and McAvoy didn’t work well last year.

Forbort and Carlo don’t work.

Forbort works with Clifton.

Just seems like you either have to have a Lindholm/McAvoy super pairing (Gryz/Carlo, Forbort/Clifton), or a Lindholm/Carlo pairing that has seen Lindholm’s offense dry up. All I want to do is keep Lindholm and Clifton together but don’t see how it works.

I think you broke it down perfectly. The trade Carlo question gets more and more interesting, and debateable,by the game frankly.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

I’d like to add a third #1D.
But maybe I’m just being greedy

I even like the new Pooh bear uniforms.
The worlds gone crazy.

 

[The don godfather]

Please keep carlo. Hes solid.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Any add is really a luxury item. But if the team is looking like this in February and the space has been opened up, they deserve spending some future assets for one.

 

[weaponomega]

Moving Reilly and Smith looks to be impossible without a sweetener like a 2nd.

Curious on people's thoughts on moving Carlo and getting back assets for him. When Forbort is healthy a pairing of he and Carlo doesn't seem like an effective pair.

He's still very young, big a decent skater and is looking better than last season under Cassidy.

Edit: I see others have brought up this same idea.

My only hesitation would be shaking up an amazing team.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

I know people would hate the idea but Grz would have positive value and solve the cap issue.....not suggesting it....just saying

Love the idea.

I’m not going that far

We don’t have seconds in the next two drafts.

If we could get a more skilled d back, done and done. A low first is also tempting. Carlo looks better to me but still not all that good.

You trade Carlo for a draft pick and play…Stralman? Why actively make the team worse?

Forbort, I don't see much of a difference, except he is on his off-side.

Lindholm/Carlo
Grizz/McAvoy
Forbort/Cliffy

.......there. Problem solved.

I agree. For me this is the first time I felt this way since Horton left...

Get back ? Lol funny idea. That would take a miracle. I think they get moved for picks. If not maybe they do move carlo. Carlo has a lot of value I think. I think carlo is underrated. It would be a shame to lose him. Smith should be movable too. I think they want to move a defender though. They seem to have an influx of good defence. Even the prospect pool seems pretty nice on defence. Sweeney might be a defence specialist!

I feel like Reilly and a 4th for a 7th would get it done. I don’t think they in a hurry. I feel like sweeney has various bad offers and is just waiting to see if a better one falls into place. I feel like he isn’t the type to rush.

 

[Kegs]

I’d like to add a third #1D.

Don’t worry. Just wait for the prospect pool to ripen up :p

 

[Lobster57]

I wouldn't mind adding Luke Schenn at the deadline, or as part of a Carlo/Gryz trade, he's on a cheap expiring contract and is actually playing pretty well for the dumpster fire that is the Canucks

 

[Lobster57]

I’d like to add a third #1D.

McAvoy is right handed, Hampus is a lefty, so the third #1 needs to be ambidextrous and play with a straight blade

 

[KurtDangle]

Gryz / McAvoy
Lindholm / Carlo
Forbort / Clifton

Zboril
Strålman

Ahcan
Wissman

We dont need to add on D at the deadline.
