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

[NeelyDan]

Charlie McAvoy #3
Brandon Carlo #12

edit: nvm, @LouJersey beat me to the punch

There’s no way Zacha plays on the fourth.

Yeah Zacha s gonna be at Coyle his left side, if Smith is traded Lauko and Greer could be at his right, but why not put Lysell with Bergy and Marchy and put Debrusk with Zacha and Coyle...

Nosek is a major concern. Frederic as 4C is better.

Foligno has been good but not that good. 3rd line will be Zacha, Coyle, Smith/Frederic.

Zacha/Coyle likely alternates as 3C depending on Krejci'S STATUS based off what Monty did w/ Zacha prior to Saturday.... Frederic isn't a 4C and is brtter as a winger

Because Lysell isn’t NHL ready.

Why is Nosek a major concern? He plays an extremely important part of this team from being excellent on PK and FOs?

 

[wintersej]

Because Lysell isn’t NHL ready.

But could he be 19 year old Pasta ready by the second half? If he keeps producing like he is all year, I think you have to take a peek at some point.

1 points (an assist) in 12 games. That’s a 0.08 PPG pace. That’s pitiful for any NHL player. You need to produce something more than this. You just need to. He’s on pace for 0G/7A on the season. The level of defense and PK’ing that needs to be done to make up for this is ridiculously high.

Divver, a highly respected writer said this:



The Bruins, so far, are one of the highest scoring teams in the league and he has 1 measely point. It’s a concern.

And the NHL again must be trending for a high scoring season additionally. 2.5 million for a PK specialist is tough to justify.

 

[PB37]

Guys like Nosek can easily end up being a coach favorite. But I think there's a better option for that 4th line center spot, with Nosek coming off the bench.

Yet another example of a player leading his junior team in scoring then...

Hasn't Monty said that he feels his centers (Bergeron-Krejci-Coyle-Nosek) are perfectly slotted? I'm not disagreeing with you that there are better options but sounds like Monty basically wants his 4th line center to effectively be a 3rd D-man who can win face-offs. Point production be damned. And what is crazy is the 4th line has produced without Nosek factoring in much in terms of goals or assists, yet he's been a mainstay.

I've wanted them to use Frederic back at center for awhile now but doesn't sound like that in the cards with Monty.

This is correct but others are right to he needs to chip in more.Ole stone hards

Stone hands is right. But you know what, I don't hate Nosek as an everyday player on this team. Go back 15-20 years ago and you would of had a big lumbering winger who couldn't put the puck in the ocean. Your 12th Forward so-to-speak.

Now instead maybe the strategy is that your 12th forward that can't score is a defensively strong center who can win face-offs, compete down low in the D-zone, and works really hard. And let the two 4th line wingers look after the offense for that line. If your gonna dress one forward per game who can't produce, maybe you get more bang-for-your-buck by having that guy be a center rather than a winger.

Guess which team has the best PK in the league?

His winning F/O percentage is 56% in comparison to Bergeron who is 62% and third in the league.

The points will come but he plays a very important role on this team. I can't see him sitting out. Being moved is an option.

I like Nosek work ethic and Bruins PK is really been good and he plays on that but he just has to find a way to pot a couple.He nailed post other day thought he had 1

He basically averaged 10 goals per 82 games during the course of his career in Vegas. He popped 8 in 38 the year before signing in Boston. Had 4 in 17 during Vegas's run to the cup final. He has scored half-decently before relatively speaking. Maybe he's being deployed in a more defensive leaning role here. There is probably some stat somewhere that shows this but I wouldn't know where to look.

He does need to pop a couple and soon. I'd be happy with 2 between now and Xmas.

Bruins are first in the league in goals scored. His linemates are chipping in. He doesn't have to score to be effective.

Yea he might be utilized different here.Some systems allow a player to go that extra bit and that could be difference in reaching some pucks

Can't argue it but hope he pots a few Marchyknows

You're correct, who cares what an individual on a line is doing as long as the line is scoring. Especially the 4th line. In the past that line had 2, sometimes 3 players on it who couldn't score. Not the case this season. Some of what Nosek is doing is creating a situation where the other guys can score. I'm perfectly fine with what he brings at $1.75M. I don't want a whole bottom 6 of Noseks, but I sure appreciate having at least 1, particularly in crunchtime in the playoffs.

I agree ,I have always felt Fredrics is more comfortable at center and I might be wrong but he possibly could be more productive....

 

[Dellstrom]

Because Smith is healthy most likely? There still has to be another move or two with McAvoy close.
