Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[Gordoff]

I feel like when July 1st comes and there’s a couple of high end cars available with the money we have, we will then spend the money on 5 Chevettes

"Think of the gas money we'll save, and parts are cheap when they break down!
Anyway, Chevette, Corvette what's the difference? Both have 4 wheels and an engine. "DS

 

[Bodit9]

Why didn't Donny extract more for taking on a shit contract? Donny traded Ullmark for a 4th line JAG. Unreal.

 

[Alicat]

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Not to defend SweeNeely, but Korpisalo regain form and plays good behind our D, SweeNeely are going to look like geniuses to have him under contract for 3m 4yrs etc.

I don't care if Korpisalo plays great for Boston, he won't by the way, terrible glove hand. Why the Bruins want to allocate something close to 11 mil/year on goalies is nuts. Sweeney had better be buying this guy out, we need to improve our roster for a better playoff run and need that cap space.

 

[Blowfish]

What happened to Necas!

 

[Drift]

Kastelic speed

 

[MillerTime29Bombs]

If Sway goes to arbitration. Does the sweenanator dump him at the deadline

 

[CDJ]

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Do we think we can fix Korpisalo? I dont get it otherwise

 

[Tbaybruin]

Jesus Christ on a bicycle.

He’s In my heart

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

My favorite part of the spin being attempted now is the deal could actually be really good if the bruins do a bunch of heavy lifting(rehab Korpisalo) and get lucky(pull a rabbit out of the hat with late 1st) to improve the value.

 

[CDJ]

Kastelic speed

View attachment 886507

Not terrible, def better than Maroon I’d imagine

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

The more I research this the more infuriating it gets.

Why a bottom 6 young C? He will block either Poitras or Beecher.
Why a 30 yr old goaltender at the lowest value of his career? He will block Bussi.

Donnie has to have another move in the works with these pieces, right?

Right?

If Korpisalo had even neutral trade value, the Senators would have dumped him for future considerations long before pulling the trigger here. Retention unnecessary.

Kastelic is either Beecher or Brazeau and I like the latter two better. 13th forward

I don’t see where another deal is made

 

[KrejciWinger]

If I knew how to setup a poll I'd ask:

A) Trade that just happened

B) Stand pat (Ullmark walks)

C) Trade Swayman for a haul and sign Ullmark for 5 years @ 7 million

 

[JRull86]

Just buy him out.

1st + project bottom 6 C looks wat better

I am desperately trying to find a silver lining.

 

[The don godfather]

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

Korpi has the tools to be a number 1 he has shown it before. This is a buy low with that retention. The 1st is sweet. The thing is linus is being stubborn to where he wants to go and not sign a extension. Not bad return.

 

[Fenian24]

Maroon too.

Watch out now

Please do not group Pat Maroon with Papa smurf and Heinen. Pat Maroon has three Cups, plays with intensity and passion, the other two.............Don't

 

[Sheppy]

Pick 25 could be a gem in 5 years.

Yeah, on another team

 

[PB37]

Right?

Flexibility. Kast is a RH and will take the strong side faceoffs while Beecher ( LH ) will take the other side. I don't think Kast block either guy.

#Sweenious

Can’t wait to see who we pick

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Another trade in a long list of them where Sweeney shows he has absolutely no understanding of the value of players around the league.

Ottawa should’ve had to attach a first just to dump Korpisalo’s contract to any team. They basically just got Ullmark for free.

 

[Tommy Tubs]

Sweeney does some things well, but my problem with him is he prioritizes veteran depth, at the expense of putting resources into top line talent.

to me it feels like he probably feels like Karpisolo is less a negative and more someone he's happy to have as a vet backup at G.

This juts seems like how he spends money.

 

[DiggityDog]

I was really looking forward to this off-season too.

Had a little cap to spend, an asset to trade. I just feel completely deflated by it.

Hope there is something else coming, but I doubt it.

 

[JRull86]

If I knew how to setup a poll I'd ask:

A) Trade that just happened

B) Stand pat (Ullmark walks)

C) Trade Swayman for a haul and sign Ullmark for 5 years @ 7 million

Since they'd never get appropriate value for Swayman....Out of these? Option 2.

I don't think committing to Ullmark long term is the answer, especially at 7 mil a year. If you can sign Swayman to 8x8, that is a far superior option than 5x7 for Ullmark.
