Merkulov-Zacha-Pasta
Marchand-Coyle-Lysell
Frederic-Poitras-Geekie
Lauko-Beecher-Brazzeau

Is what we’ll likely see if they don’t sign any UFAs at all, all summer, and make no trades. basically unpossible but fun to think about
Lysell, Poitras, and Merkolov all making the team next year, I don't see that happening , as a matter of fact I think you have better chance of none of them on this team next year......I might also add, do not be surprised if one or more is involved in a trade......
 
Duclair
Geuntzel
Zadorov
Merkulov

Out
Forbort

Linus
Shattenkirk

Reinhart will resign with FLA imo

Duschene would be another on a one year

MAC / Lindholm
Carlo / big z
Witherspoon / Peeke

Pasta Heinen Brad
Zack Coyle Getzenl
Trent Duclair Lysell
Braz Beech Bo

Merk

Speed combined with skill size and toughness
The only other thing I would consider is Monahan or Lindholm C on first line

Or you could switch Brad to L2 switch with Zack

The D especially looks real good

If Reinhart becomes a UFA and he should test free agency, as he has had a great season, then I think he is the Bruins #1 target over Lindholm, offer him a chance to play top line with Pasta, could be of interest to him.

I am absolutely impressed by your commitment to misspell Duchene with just about every variation possible but the right one.
 
PIck up @ 32:30 (or whenever you like),

They react.

If they react.

They NEVER initiate.

Not in their DNA under Don Sweeney. Never will be,



Pick up @ 6:50 (or whenever you like).

*It's April 1st.*

Do you know what your first, second, third, or fourth lines are?

Really?

Are you sure?

Do you know what your defensive pairings are?

The bruins entering an offseason with like 25mil in space (or whatever it is) and exiting it with Heinen as their top line center would be very funny, so if that's what you're going for then you nailed it.
 
Florida is as heavy as any team going to Cup finals and Bruins showed they can beat them.Lost last year by 1 goal and should have won u ask me.Beat them the other day as well.I think this heaviness is a bit blown out of proportion.

Perhaps.

Marchand is, I believe, 5'9", 175 pounds.

To his great credit, the captain fought Nikko Mikkola, 6'5", 205 pounds, sparking the Bruins.

Apparently it is necessary that Brad take matters upon himself,



He would have done so in 2011, when half the lineup understood the value of physically initiating, hitting everything that moves, participating in scrums, and imposing their will.

It's 2024.

Veteran Hampus Lindholm had his first fight NHL fight! Holy f*ck!





Go home, Hampus.

Yes, I enjoyed David's backside bump on MT. Please post if you can find.

He has his teammates' back,

Well Boston added some size with Maroon The Goon to combst that.Marchand scores on that breakaway it would not be brought up as much.Want to beat em the pp needs to be sharp.Florida in box alot.
 
Ok ok switch Heinen with Zack

Just wanted to make sure everyone is reading

Lobrei and Poitras start in the minors

I'm all for Maroon.

But, truly:

Are you hanging your physical hat on a 35-year-old recovering from back surgery as of April 1? One guy, even at his best, is not getting it done.

FLA has several, as the Bruins did under Peter Chiarelli and Claude Julien. Within about four years.

Sweeney has done jack in this regard, and it's TEN YEARS in. He doesn't value physical play, heaviness, etc. To him, signing Milan or Maroon is sufficient.

"Speed and skill."

Florida is not a team full of tough guys, they're a team full of rats. Big difference. Bennett can fight but only actually drops the gloves against guys that can't, and besides him they literally only have Gadjovich and he's a 4th line plug that likely isn't in the lineup come playoffs. Stop talking about this team like they're the 2011 bruins, they aren't.

Perhaps not.

I'll take a team of rats over a team of mice.

They built their team around a forecheck and agitating.
