Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[SPV]

Well Maroon skates about as fast as he can walk.

I’d rather they go after a third liner that’s more in a power forward role who isn’t way past his prime. Maroon was a failed experiment here imo.

It’s fine, I just have been in enough GDT to know what’s coming

 

[Alan Ryan]

I’m a terrible Canadian haven’t watched hockey at all since Bruins were eliminated,just can’t bring myself to cheer for Edmonton,will have to hear about Canada winning the cup all summer,and don’t want Florida either really.If it’s not the Bruins playing just not interested,I know I’m a terrible hockey fan.

Only the Bruins matter for me. Not interested in other teams.

Really only watch if a team I really hate is playing,and only if they’re losing.I guess I should be cheering for Canada ,but not really cheering for either team.

Going down tomorrow at 3 pm (waiting for confirmation if Vegas time or Boston time)

I say one day after that. Hump day.

Gotta see how furious Reinhart is when they lose, and if he wants to leave asap

Sens want a first and top prospect for Chychrun

This is getting interesting

Going to be pissed if this ends up Ullmark for Korpisalo

Wait, so they don't want Ullmark? What the hell, man

To go with Ullmark?

 

[Tbaybruin]

Vegas like their "smartest GM in the room deals" but they screwed up big time bringing in Tomas Hertl.

Well they won the cup last year and went to the finals year one. I wish our GM was that smart

Donny

Get 25OA
Ostapchuk
Forsberg 50% retained

Don’t get greedy

To go with Ullmark?

Apparently trading Chychrun asking price per article

I’m still in the 25OA & Ostapchuk camp

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Korpisalo

That would be nuts only gives the Bruins $1 million in Cap space might as well keep Ullmark.

 

[Patdud]

Going to be pissed if this ends up Ullmark for Korpisalo

thats where I was coming up with this:

Perhaps the 2nd and 3rd are dropped to offset the retained salary and Ottawa sends a 4th for Lauko
Would be about a 900k penalty to bury him in the AHL assuming he cleared waivers, another team might grab him. or you keep him as the insurance given the fact that Bussi has never played a second of NHL time.

trading for him and buying him out is dumb as its the same penalty for a RS trade and then bury for a year, except its two years.

Id prefer they turn the ullmark money into a forward but this trade does turn ullmark into more offense and an improved PP1.

Still have the money to sign a heavy player for line 4, E.Lindholm and sway for 7x8.

Would give you space to bank for the TDL as well actually.

Break the trade down its:

Ullmark for Chychrun
Lauko and a 3rd for a 2nd
1st round pick for taking on Forsberg contract/salary

 

[KOZ37]

Sens want a first and top prospect for Chychrun

I tend to wonder if the Bruins would prefer to not take him back in a deal. Maybe they prefer the cap space to spend up front. Is it possible Ottawa is trying to deal him for picks to send for Ullmark?

good lord, has Chychrun suddenly become a 7 time Norris winner?

I want Greig instead of Ostapchuk, other that that I like the deal.
If they want us to take on Forsberg at 100%, I need the 7th OA.
Or they can add Brannstrom to the deal and we can trade him or another dee in a separate transaction to some one else.

That is a shit sandwich, I would rather do nothing out of spite. Make those 2025 picks and take Forsberg out and there's at least a conversation to be had.

The Sens can go pound sand. That's insanity

Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

Tom Petty might have been thinking about the days before the draft/ FA when we wrote this

Today's nothing burger,

Latest report on Linus Ullmark's trade market as NHL Draft nears

With the 2024 NHL Draft approaching, we could soon get an answer on Linus Ullmark’s future with the Bruins.

[HuskyBruinPride]

“Boston is hoping for a higher price than New Jersey paid for Markstrom, and the teams that are interested - including Ottawa - that are looking at this are like, we're not interested in paying that price if it doesn’t come with an extension.”

I mean I've already been assuming if Ullmark gets dealt he'll be extending with whoever aquires him. So a moot point more than likely.

The Bruins don't need Chychrun, it would be a luxury at that position. The Sens desperately need a goalie or there season is over before it begins, there aren't many other viable alternatives to Ullmark out there.The Sens are not in a strong position here at all, Sweeney can dictate things as long as he dosen't get too greedy.

 

[Gordoff]

I think Jeremy or Cam vetoed the trade b/c Chia was giving up 2 #1s. Then he was fired shortly thereafter, IIRC.

It wasn't that far back IIRC.

yeah, picks or our first and a young player would be great, having that much cash to get a top line winger and a top 6 C would be great.
