I wonder if the Bruins will roll the dice and pencil in Poitras as the 2nd line center. It would help with figuring out their salary situation as they look for free agents this summer. Top 6 center, top 6 winger, top 4 dman, 4th liner physical presence.


Lindholm - 8
Chychrun - 4.5
Duhaime - 1.5
Swayman - 8

If these are the plays to be made, Bruins are going to have to dip into the bargain bin for their 2nd line winger ( Heinen, Lysell ) to be under the cap


Zacha -- XXXXX -- Pasta

Marchand -- Poitras -- XXXXX

Frederic -- Coyle -- Geekie

XXXXX -- Beecher -- Brazeau

extras, callups: Lysell, Lauko, Merkulov


XXXXX -- McAvoy

Lindholm -- Carlo

Lohrei -- Peeke

extras, callups: Wotherspoon, Regula


Swayman
Bussi
Ideally he shows up and looks like second coming of Savard

Took him 3-4 professional years to get to be legit top 2C

Is he going to have no limitations at camp ?

The Senators would like to have a contract extension in place with Ullmark before they make the deal and there’s been speculation that’s what has been holding this trade up. We’re not sure that’s the case and it’s believed a big factor has been the asking price by the Bruins.

The Vegas Golden Knights and Detroit Red Wings are reportedly also involved in talks to acquire Ullmark.

Good post (as usual). The B’s could start out with Poitras as the #2 center. But I wonder if he will start the year in Providence. If he doesn’t make it they could move Coyle or Geekie into the role.

I expect Heinen will get a new contract and contribute in the bottom 6.

I’m really curious to see if Lysell and/or Merkulov can make the Bruins out of training camp. Sure would help the cap situation.

But that one guy on xitter said Ottawa was the only suitor and 25th OA would be enough 🤔

Haha my daughter worked all thru high school and college summers at Shaws

I think my mother went 80-85 %

I’ll ask @Saxon Eric he’s my combo prospects/cooking guy

The most emotion I’ve ever seen him was when I told him I made pancakes out of a box


My list of Bruins I campaigned for

Stone- Vegas
Eichel - Vegas
Hertl - Vegas
Hanifin - Vegas

I have noticed a pattern
Butchie C has told his Vegas scouts and GM to zero in on @DKH and roll with his plan.

Dan, you are doing the heavy lifting for them. Demand payment or you’ll start pulling for us to break the bank on guys like Davey Snedmeir a very undersized D-man from a small club in Tuskaloosa. He’s slow, small, and has poor vision, yes. But easily worth a 7x$12M flyer.

Vegas could be a wildcard if Ullmark has changed his mind on going West, but if there’s a GM that’s going to give you 50 cents on the dollar for a player and nothing more, it’s Steve Yzerman.

His opening line would probably be “I’ve noticed the teams interested in Ullmark have moved on but don’t worry I’ll send over a protected 2nd…”
