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

[Hookslide]

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

Please do not do that............

Care to elaborate ?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Death, Taxes, Miles Wood in the trade thread…

 

[Hookslide]

Care to elaborate ?

Because he is not worth tying yourself to that contract...........

Well I can see that but man he has looked good since last years playoffs looks like he was let out of his cage this year

 

[The don godfather]

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.

Carlo will be a fine and a pillar . Stay the course back there plus cliffy is just a pure horse right now. Dont need and D.

 

[DKH]

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

Yes - my daughter wore Bo’s game work Memorial Cup jersey to 2013 draft in NJ and we hung with them. Bo’s dad Tim said Bo was summoned to the Bruins suite very late Draft Eve for a meeting with Chiarelli and scouts and to sit tight. They were dealing Seguin

Dallas picked 10 you can figure out the rest

My daughter was livid because he goes to Boston we are down stairs with family and Bruins in a perfect storm

History changes too- for all we know Chiarelli & Clode still here

Clifton needs more than 4 games before we label this “the new Clifton”.

 

[BruinsJoe]

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 would be a great ad 3rd line RWinger big body speedy physical winger...send them Smithy + Studnicka or Steen

I think he’s a LW. I wanted him a few years back thought he’d become the “next” power forward. Haven’t watched him much lately think he hasn’t reached his potential. BUT, he’d be a welcomed addition here in the right deal. Although with Foligno playing as good as he is, we may not have room for a Wood!

 

[DitClapper]

Probably should look into extending Clifton and moving Carlo.
And bringing Wissmann into the fold.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Oh I agree but if he is a new Clifton you are not getting him for 2.5. I also think he was better than some people gave him credit for

 

[PlayMakers]

I'd like to see a game or two of...

Hall - Bergeron - Pasta
DeBrusk - Krejci - Coyle
Frederic - Zacha - Smith

Carlo frequent injuries makess it a tough trade

 

[Tbaybruin]

Well, Hall has me rethinking my opinion of him. Proving me wrong. Looking good out there

 

[Alan Ryan]

I'd like to see a game or two of...

Hall - Bergeron - Pasta
DeBrusk - Krejci - Coyle
Frederic - Zacha - Smith

At some point the team needs to see whether Zacha is an option at center for life after Bergeron and Krejci.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Doubt they'd be in a rush to move him and he isn't part of the problem either, but if the Canucks continue sinking, Horvat would look really good here.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

True but I don't really see him as a 1st or 2nd center. Maaaaaaybe #2C if he progresses

 

[quietbruinfan]

Miles Wood is hugely overrated here. He is very fast, strong, and physical but he is often out of control and pays no attention to details, like body positioning, or angles, or defensive position. He goes too fast for that. He is not a particularly good passer and is not good at anything when not at break-neck speed. He is bad Jake Debrusk but physical. He would go from folk hero to gigantic whipping boy here in two or three games and rightly so.

Still want him here because of this....

 

[PB37]

After perusing some stats, I found a couple of interesting Bruins tidbits

- the average age is 26.71 ( 11 youngest in the league )

- the average height is 73.67 ( 3rd tallest team )

- the average weight is 202.5 ( 5th heaviest team )

 

[Coach Parker]

Doubt they'd be in a rush to move him and he isn't part of the problem either, but if the Canucks continue sinking, Horvat would look really good here.

Cost would be Carlo and another forward/C to play their 3rd line I'd assume.

And he is definitely available. I'd bet he is the first move before the firing of Boudreau. It is a nightmare here in the city. I have several season ticket holder friends who are already scrambling to sell off tickets. Last year I probably went to a dozen games this year will be more with many being last minute free tickets.

Schenn and Miller fighting on the ice and arguing before 2nd intermission, three jerseys tossed on the ice. Hell, I turned down the season opener but the fact the tickets were offered tells you enough.

They bet on the last season and ignored the underlying numbers which suggested Demko was covering up huge faults in their system. Miller played his ass off for a retirement contract and has looked horrible all season and camp.

Boeser was another mistake signing. They should have moved on from both and acquired assets to build around EP40, Demko, Hughes and some of the younger forwards (Podkolzin, Kuzemenko, etc). Instead they handcuffed themselves with these bad contracts that are already being compared to Eriksson's deal.

The fans have moved past anger to disinterest and to have the boo birds out in full force on your home opener speaks volumes.

Bottom line; Horvat wasn't resigned before the other two despite being the captain and here since his draft. Agent thinks he is a 1st line C (numbers suggest 2nd line C with $7 million dollar contract being the comparable) but if you could get him for 8 years at his number ($53 million) and bring him to a winning culture you could really avoid the Bruins center exodus and build around him, Coyle and then target one of the C's the Bruins are scouting via FA.

 

[DKH]

I’m good with keeping Carlo

I saw Barzal vs Carlo and Clifton vs Barzal at ice level and it was noticeable

Cliffy is a high end third pair

Carlo needs to be more aware of protecting himself when on the wall

I see Zacha as a pretty good winger - like to see him with Coyle

Could be really good

And yet the Devils could not wait to get rid of Zacha and give Wood a raise and the "A" after he missed basically the entire season with a hip injury.

Good counterpoint. Edit and I would also up until this year the Devils have stunk and have not evaluated talent that well. Desire and speed do count for a lot among hockey management. I still say bad Jake Debrusk and not someone I want.
