Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[FrankerC]

Some guy who lives down the street from TD Garden who’s ranked 89th.

Donnie drafting - you got that on the nose

 

[Drift]

Sooooo someone like this? haven't been paying attention to the draft lol

 

[CDJ]

Also Korpisalo’s number on worse defensive teams in 2022-2023 aren’t that diff from Ullmark’s numbers last year with us tbh

 

[Zillah]

So much hype for such a depressing result

 

[UncleRico]

Have to wonder how close the Bruins and Swayman are for them to take on Korpisalo.
Insurance policy? No?

Not now. Please don’t bring in the thought of swayman talks stalling out and Korpisalo being the #1 into this thread. It may explode

 

[Sheppy]

Sweeney is totally resigning Grzelcyk

 

[Blowfish]

There's always hope the fax machine jams.

 

[Clode]

Ullmark for a punching bag, a sieve and their old 1st. Meh.

 

[BTO]

Go clutch those pearls harder if you are offended that I used the word ass.

Maybe I’m wrong but you might have missed the irony.

 

[Tbaybruin]

A little less than I thought but we weren’t getting all that we thought we were

 

[LouJersey]

If korpi finds his game again bruins dont miss a beat back there again.

Again, it's about maximizing the return. Kastelic and the 1 are fine pieces for Linus. Korpisalo back at 3 mil per for 4 years, and not getting something else is insane

 

[Therick67]

Some guy who lives down the street from TD Garden who’s ranked 89th.

Who’s 4 feet tall

 

[UncleRico]

Sweeney is totally resigning Grzelcyk

Hahahaha stop

 

[Gordoff]

Donnie pulled a Dougie and rushed a deal and took a total shit return. Ten years later.

Ten years ago (can't say 2015 'round here) he was a "rookie GM" and didn't know the draft. 10 years later and he's still stuck in first gear.

 

[UConn126]

Because the entire point of trading Ullmark was to shed salary.

Getting a first back is good. Taking on FOUR years of that deal to save what...2 mil? That's really really poor IMO

Unless there's a part two to this, this deal blows.

I disagree. We have plenty of cap. The entire point was to get something of value and not let him walk for nothing. We got a first. And if Korpisalo turns things around behind our defense he'll have trade value again.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

You "saved" two million this year with this deal then added 3mil per the next three seasons.

Now, maybe they work some magic with Korpi, and deal him down the road,

Yeah I have trouble imagining this.

And depends on how you look at it re: “saved” cap space. Because you took on Kastelic too. So that’s a little over a million dollars in cap flexibility gained going into free agent season.

You can argue they would have spent that anyway on a player similar. So I get it. Maybe someone can sell me on Kastelic being better than I understand.

We’re also likely going to be spending $11M/yr+ on what may be worse goaltending than we had in the bag for less than $9M. Long term.

 

[CrownofThornton]

Can we just fire DS already?

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

From Ottawas side, they want to win now.

That late first doesn’t do anything for them especially when they have a top ten pick.

Korpisalo was a dump for them.

And a JAG 4th liner.

They took that package of shit and turned it into the best goalie they’ve had in a long time. Probably since that peak of Craig Anderson for a short bit.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Anyone notice how Sweeney always takes on other teams problems without extracting value...

Meanwhile he always pay a hefty premium to ship out even the smallest problems like Beleskey, Backes, Moore, Reilly, etc. It's not a good reputation.

 

[Blowfish]

Pick 25 could be a gem in 5 years.

 

[22Brad Park]

I am not going off till I hear what Donny says here and see what his intentions are .Glad to be back in 1st rd though at least .

 

[LouJersey]

I'm petrified about July 1st now. I may need to go off the grid for a few days

 

[CheerstoBeers]

Donnie drafting - you got that on the nose

Career fourth liner potential I'm sure. Donny will love him

 

[Bearclaw]

Bwahahahaha.

I thought Chychrun and 25 for sure.

This?

I’m simultaneously revolted and laughing my a** off.

 

[CDJ]

I'm petrified about July 1st now. I may need to go off the grid for a few days

Zado 6/40 coming right up baby let’s goooooo
