Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion IX

[The don godfather]

Just get tyler Johnson for a 5th round pick 2026. Forget the expensive stuff.

 

[Gordoff]

You don't win a cup with guys playing over their head for a entire season in such a critical position. He is a black hole at the dot as well, losing face offs in the Ozone is bad enough, lose in your end it will end up costing a series


So lets add another third line player just because? Keep up the good work

Brutally honest, I like it!

Yeah, huge pass.

 

[Gordoff]

it's been really nice in Providence. I really enjoyed my time there."
"EnjoyED?" He doesn't expect to be going back???

That's the right attitude to have

 

[Gordoff]

I think you are placing the importance of the refs in game determination way, way too high.

If there is an incorrect call on an actual goal, that would be big. But that doesn't happen anymore. They can watch replay. Bad (from fans view) penalty calls don't determine outcome. They don't change the score of the game. And they are judgement calls, not cut and dry like a goal being scored.

I can't recall the last time I thought the outcome of a Bruins game was directly determined by the refs.

That's an easy one: Ottawa game January 25th.

he is 5 mil,

 

[Oates2Neely]

It's kind of nonsense. team is alot bigger than last season and I'm sure will add a depth forward and defenseman. I would go with what they have. The Bruins outhit the Knight and Florida per 60 in last years playoffs, and guys like Geekie and JVR aren't going to be moved around easily. Bruins have as many hits per 60 as Florida this year, more than Tampa and have blocked more shots. Those are the only two remotely physical teams in the east.

Not all burgers are the same, not all hits are either. Shawn Thornton logged tons of hits as a Bruin, they had the effect of a mosquito bite. McAvoy on the other hand hits with purpose. Hitting is a skill, not all players “hit” equally

Thoughts about Mantha as a rental? Had a rough few years, but rn he's on pace for like 25+ goals almost all at 5v5, with good defensive underlying numbers too. Would need full retention, but I think he might end up going pretty cheap at the deadline and then make a big impact for someone in a middle 6 role.

Brutally wrong as well, if 51% constitutes being a "black hole" in the face-off dot.

Not a bad idea, but Detroit is currently a playoff team. My guess is they'd be looking to add, not sell.

Mantha got traded to the Caps like 3 years ago

 

[DKH]

Billy Guerin grew up here and is a Neanderthal so no suprise his team is pretty tough/ he’s got 2-3 guys I’d like

He was a great Bruins and typical hockey player as a nice guy

He had an eye injury rookie or second year with Devils - and was not playing game one of playoffs and sat in the seat next to us. He was sitting next to my wife and they were same age and both went to Boston College so they got along great - I think he said hello and good bye to me.

100 % agree

 

[SPV]

if we are looking for bottom 6 grit, i'd rather get brandon duhaime. great wheels, tough, can PK, big upgrade over steen on 4th line.

That works too. Get him, Middleton, and Sam Carrick from Anaheim. Add three guys that have more hits this year than anyone on our current roster.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I have a couple friends that are Wild fans and they think it’s hilarious how much this place pines for Middleton. Nice player but not anywhere near what people have him pumped up to be here.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Is this evil doppelganger Hampus? Did he shave off his evil moustache?

 

[Blowfish]

Go Big...

om Wilson signed a 7 year, $45,500,000 contract with the Washington Capitals on Aug. 4, 2023. The contract has a cap hit of $6,500,000. CLAUSE DETAILS: 2024-25 to 2027-28: Player submits a 15 no team trade list | 2028-29 to 30-31: Player submits a 10 no team trade list.

what could go wrong with picking up a PF in decline at age 30 under control forever

I'd sooner eat a bowl of a stranger's vomit.

LOL Yikers...okay I want no part of Wilson.

Debrusk or Gryz or both to Buffalo?

 

[FRyan4426]

Beecher can’t be any worse than Boqvist can he?

 

[Gee Wally]

has nothing to do with better. They currently dont have the cap $$$ for Beecher. Boqvist is cheaper and fits cap.
