Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[FrankerC]

When McDavid has 4 goals at 11 minutes into the 2nd period tonight, Bettman will give them the green light.

Snag is in the extension. But they continue to work at it. Ullmark's agent is in Vegas as well so maybe face to face gets it done. But I'm told Michael Andlauer had no issue paying the $1 million signing bonus for Ullmark on July 1, and is more concerned about him coming in at their price.

In Vegas....hmmm. You did once say "Vegas does things nobody else does". Something like that. I found that interesting.

put ullmark on that team.....apples to oranges

Just like the putting McAvoy on their point would give him 25 more points Using the oilers as any comp is not very fair.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Most Canadians don't care about the "Cup in Canada." thing, it's media drivel.
Most Canadians only care about the team they cheer for.

Not the hockey people I know here. Massive for the more casual Canadian fan, and important to a lot of hard core fans.

Bruins Should Look to Acquire Rutger McGroarty From the Jets - The Hockey Writers Latest News, Analysis & More

The NHL offseason frenzy is almost here. With the chaos that is to come, the Bruins should make a splash to acquire a disgruntled prospect.

I like this idea and I love the Wolverines jersey. Beautiful!

 

[BergyWho37]

Only crappy part is he’ll be a UFA after this deal and could be gone if he has a good season..

DiPietro is still there if this happens thankfully. He may end up much better than Bussi from some things I’ve seen. Glad the B’s continue to have good options in goal even multiple years down the pipe.

Sounds like they want to package him with Ehlers…

 

[Demon Eyes]

No doubt. Swayman was sensational. But my point is you can win with Coyle/Zacha. I’m almost 100% sure we beat Florida in ‘22/23 if we kept Coyle down the middle instead of Bergeron. Do you know why? Cause Boston had great wingers like Hall & Bertuzzi who left in the off season. If you improve the D, goalie and team toughness, provide more scoring from the wingers then this offseason was a success IMO. And this team can compete vs any team in this league.

I wish they say bergy and Krejci longer. And Marchand this year. We were winning without them when they were injured. I felt they could have sat them an extra game or 2, and maybe left Marchand this year for the next series.

You know everyone is basically there for the draft right?

That's okay. I'm willing to take both.

 

[ranold26]

even zinovjev

Don't tell Blowfish, he'd be there on the next flight.

[Fenian24]

Agree...however I do want to see McDavid win the cup. He's so friggin good.


I'm guessing ye olde Canadian taxation system is the snag.

Ye olde Massachusetts tax system isn't much better

oh right. lol me dumb dumb.

Ha I miss Zino. Need a replacement.

Makes no sense to spend assets to bring in a goalie when you already have one in house who’s brought you to within 1 win of the Stanley Cup at a much cheaper cap hit than what Ullmark will make. They are already paying Campbell 5m to ride the bench.

Ullmark hasn’t even proven he can be a go to guy in the playoffs yet.

You need to look at the bigger picture.

 

[Alan Ryan]

Only crappy part is he’ll be a UFA after this deal and could be gone if he has a good season..

The two way contract also carries some risk. They could lose him to waivers if he doesn’t make the Boston roster out of training camp and is sent to Providence.

 

[pucksindeep92]

That's okay. I'm willing to take both.

As am I

Seems like Bussi likes the number 33. I wonder if it’s available?

No I never said it makes sense for them to bring in Ullmark. I said if he played for Edmonton, he would likely have a better playoff record.

You can not compare Bruins to Oilers.....Just like do you think he would have won Vezina if he was on San Jose or Arizona?

You need to look at the bigger picture and the situation, not just numbers

 

[CDJ]

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

Icarus flying too close to the sun imo

 

[neelynugs]

steve conroy says deal is going down

guess we'll see - i'd be surprised if it happened tonight

If it goes down tonight then the return is probably brutal and they want game 7 to cover it up
