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

[kdog82]

Yanni Gourde at the deadline please. His versatility would serve the Bruins well and help next year as he could slot into the 2C if Bergeron/Krejci aren't back. That being said, for this year he'd be a huge boost on line 3.

Not sure the cost to acquire him but I'd gladly send Frederic + Studnicka over. Something Seattle might consider as they get 2 younger players that can play in their lineup. Smith would need to be dealt somewhere to free up some space.

When healthy.

Marchand-Bergeron-Debrusk
Hall-Krejci-Pastrnak
Zacha-Gourde-Coyle
Greer-Nosek-Lauko/Foligno

That could be done, if not for Gourde's $5 mil + Cap hit.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

$28m or so.

Is that with/without the bonus cap hits from Bergeron and Krejci?

Smith and Reilly would need to be dealt somewhere.

If the Bruins are healthy at the deadline, I don't see the need to do anything at all. At least if Jake continues to play well.

At most I'd want to upgrade the 4th line

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

No he won't, but they aren't going to lowball him and run the risk of pissing him off.

I'd rather Boston be the place that pays it's good players than the place that the star players get discount prices, so the GM can overpay for the bottom half of the roster.

Pay Swayman, pay Pasta.

I think defense is more important than adding a forward at this time......

 

[Kegs]

How?

[ON3M4N]

I think defense is more important than adding a forward at this time......

as of right now, I'd agree. For me specifically its the right side and someone that can log 20+ if needed. Carlo's bad luck with injuries is no secret, which is a concern for me. Stralman isn't a guy that I want having to step into a 20+ a night role either. I can't recall if I posted it or not, but the team/player I'm keeping an eye on is New Jersey and Damon Severson.

NJD isn't likely to be a playoff team again this year and they have Hamilton & Marino already locked up long-term for the right side. They also have #2OA pick (Simon Nemec) whose a RD. Severson is a pending UFA who may not be part of NJD's future. Severson just turned 28yr old so he's a guy who you could make part of the future (depending on the cost to re-sign him).

When healthy you could roll a right side of McAvoy, Carlo, Severson....that's a deep RD group. If one guy goes down then you still have to Top 4 d-men to play the right side.

Last year, I thought there was no way the Bruins would get Lindholm.

The year before that, I thought there was no way the Bruins would get Hall.

I'm curious to see if the Bruins do it again and pick up another big name in a few months. When healthy, this is a deep roster without a lot of holes but the key word here is healthy. Carlo might be a question mark moving forward. I like @ON3M4N 's suggestion for Severson, which would be on par with acquiring Lindholm. In fact, those two would make a fantastic 2nd pairing, which would push Carlo down to 3RHD and help manage his minutes.


Grz -- McAvoy

Lindholm -- Severson

Forbort -- Carlo

that could be one of the deepest starting 6 dmen in the league.

B's D' Needs bigger tougher, but same skilled.
You can't count on Carlo now. If you can trade him, I'd do it.
Gryz, and Clifton are too small. (Height and weight combined)

 

[PlayMakers]

potentially another 4 right? if the escrow is paid off. that wipes out (effectively) bonus overages

That includes the $4.

 

[PlayMakers]

Is that with/without the bonus cap hits from Bergeron and Krejci?

It includes the $4m increase and does not include the bonus overages.

 

[goldnblack]

We've clearly developed an interesting Craig Smith problem. Be nice to get his game going and deal him at the deadline before he walks.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

Human Goat hormones?? !!

 

[Oates2Neely]

Are Brian Domoulin or Carson Soucy any better than Forbort? Serious question.

In my mind those are two big physical defensive dmen, a position I’d like to add.

A young center too. I admittedly have not watched much of Horvat.

Trade for Horvat, please

Center should have been addressed off season ,with Bergey and Krecji back you need to wait until offseason.............I know " well you can trade Coyle " , I do not want to go down that road at this time

I’m referring to offseason 2023

Bruins have to stop with the Studnicka think he s not an nhler bring back Mclaughlin

Yes you cannot run d corp only with small guys and guys who can skate you need to be physical at a moment in this game

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Trade for Horvat, please

Horvat seems like an off-season thing, but maybe a good time to buy low. Benning is gone, so I feel like there's less of a chance for them to make (as stupid of) a move than they would have.

Horvat, can he play wing temporarily? Plays wing for the season, then back to C next.

Canucks need RD.

A deal around Horvat+D for Carlo+ Smith +pick+prospect

Although Carlo's healthy seems iffy, and Smith doesn't bring a lot to this trade if the Canucks aren't competing.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Would the Devils take a 3rd to swap Foligno for Miles Wood? 3.2m for this season only, guessing he could produce more than Foligno.
Wood Coyle Lauko

If Horvat makes it to free agency the Bruins will be all in. @DKH said Sweeney has liked him since his draft year.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Sign Clifton. It’s early but he might take a 4x2.5. I take the chance that this is the real Clifton.
