Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[DaBroons]

It wasn't that far back IIRC.

Maybe there were two trades discussions at different times, but da Broons were getting either center Martin Hazel or Antione Vermette and LD Keith Yandle. Chia was sending two #1s the other way. Other players may have been involved, but I can't remember who they were.

Higher up(s) were appalled at giving up two #1s and vetoed the trade. Chia was viewed as trying to save his job with this ill-considered trade that would have long-term negative effects for the organization. He was sacked shortly thereafter.

 

[Gordoff]

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.

Right, seeing Ully's disdain for moving his family, IMO once he settles in, he settles in for the long haul.

Maybe there were two trades discussions at different times, but da Broons were getting either center Martin Hazel or Antione Vermette and LD Keith Zandel. Chia was sending two #1s the other way. Other players may have been involved, but I can't remember who they were.

That has nothing to do with Garland and OEL trade discussion.

Donny

Get 25OA
Ostapchuk
Forsberg 50% retained

Don’t get greedy


Apparently trading Chychrun asking price per article

I’m still in the 25OA & Ostapchuk camp

I’d honestly rather just have the 25th pick and the cap space. But I doubt bruins get this little in a deal. 34 year old markstrom got a better return than that.

I think it was Krug + 1st + 1st for Yandle and Vermette. I don't remember the year but has to be 2014. If true, Boston would never have drafted Pastrnak.

Those were two different trade discussions in different years, both with Arizona.

 

[TCB]

I say one day after that. Hump day.

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

I want no part of Reinhart a very good player, but is he a 57 goal scorer? My opinion never again, he's more of a 35 goal scorer moving forward, but he's going to get paid as a 57 goal scorer by somebody out-there and I sure in the hell hope its not the Bruins!

 

[Oates2Neely]

Swayman $7 million

Bussi $1

Guentzel $9

Chychrun $4.5

Duhaime $1.8

Kasteilic $0.8



Marchand Zacha Pasta

Guentzel Coyle Geekie

Frederic Poitras Lysell (Merkulov)

Duhaime Kastelic Brazeau

Chychrun Mcavoy

Lindholm Carlo

Lohrei Peeke



Sway Bussi



Guentzel creates his own offense no matter who his center is in the same way P Kane did. Debrusk won’t fit under the cap, so move Geekie up and give him a chance, maybe he can develop into Knuble., in any case, his numbers won’t be worse than Debrusk’s in the regular season. Then see if Lysell or Merkulov can make it on the 3rd line, can’t keep them in the AHL forever. The 4th line has to be a hammer, Maroon is too slow, and if Ottawa wants Lauko, then Bruins should want Kastelic who is decent on face offs. Duhaime for obvious reasons. See how this lineup develops through the season and make adjustments at the deadline. But I think the extra offense from Guentzel & Chychrun, and the extra toughness on the 4th line will build on last season’s excellent outing.

Needs additional top 6 center. Otherwise solid

 

[BruinDust]

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

They've made some great moves, but they got too cute with the Hertl deal and that contract will come back to bite them.

 

[UncleRico]

I’ll trade a cup for a contract or two that might bite us years down the road.

Hell we had like 15% of the cap in healthy scratches last year. We already have yearly contracts biting us in the ass.

 

[DKH]

The Sens can go pound sand. That's insanity

Not from Bruins - anyone

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.

Greig more valuable agree

I’d love him in it but I was just figuring no way Jose

 

[MattFromFranklin]

DJ Bean was on Felger and Mazz earlier talking about Ullmark and Felger said he'd trade Swayman if the offers for Ullmark suck.

 

[DKH]

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?

They got to pay him 1 M on the 30th so time running out

Nah. He wouldn't. He's just whingeing and moaning as he usually does.

 

[GatorMike]

 

[Shaun]

here we go

 

[the negotiator]

Clearly a prove it contract..one year, two-way low dollars

 

[Bruinfanatic]

here we go

Because they resigned Bussi?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Nah. He wouldn't. He's just whingeing and moaning as he usually does.

Felger used to call Linus skidmark. Guys a shithead

 

[TCB]

here we go

Gotta make Gary happy an announce no deals until after game seven

 

[sarge88]

Good deal.

I was thinking 2x1.25 to 1.50

I don't care that they see it.

 

[Son of Donegal]

You're a generous man!

 

[UncleRico]

This is just to attract viewers, but if management ever did this they should lose their jobs.

You are right he is not 57 goal scorer, and your offer to him should be what you really think he is and if someone else wants jump on the one time 57 goal year let them have at it.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

How dare they announce this before the Game tonight
