Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion V

[Sheppy]

The guy who kept his gloves glued on when challenged to a fight was intimidating them?

Cousins dropped his gloves.

Then again, so did McAvoy.

I must have missed cousins answering the bell. Because McAvoy asked him to go.

He did, while behind a ref. The ref had McAvoy locked up, Cousins also had his gloves off.

Very intimidating.

 

[Sheppy]

Very intimidating.

I'm just saying. You said Cousins kept his gloves glued on when he didn't. I never said anything about intimidation.

I saw the Cousins turtle differently.

 

[Sheppy]

I saw the Cousins turtle differently.

He also didn't turtle. I legitimately have no idea what you're even talking about now. You're actually making things up.

To break out of the physicality talk cycle - if Edmonton continues their fall and picks in the top 10, in the offseason:

Would you trade Ullmark for that pick, assuming he'll waive his NTC?

Would Edmonton be desperate enough to trade that pick for Ullmark or would there need to be an add?

Did a quick look at their cap situation for next year.

They have about 10 million to spend but need 5 forwards and 1 D and 1 G to get to 20.

Not impossible, but they’d have to move out a couple of players making real money.

They probably need to move Campbell, although not too many teams are taking that contract.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Yakov Trenin would be ideal, he plays that tenacious style the Bruins like, very physical and good enough defensively to play against the other team's top forwards. So he probably ends up in Tampa.

Love this idea too. But are the Predators moving on from him?

 

[BamBamCam]

He's a UFA so maybe if they can't sign him

According to my calculations they have over 20 million in cap space next season. Could be a lot more depending on the cap.

But they do need a ton of players signed. I agree with that much.

3 defenders, 1 goalie and like 4-5 forwards.

9 players essentially sharing the remaining 20+ million. I think the cap is jumping though.

I was going by cap friendly

Think we've got a wildly different definition of intimidation.

I am sure we do have a different definition of intimidated but to get to the question you asked I would be very wary of moving either goalie right now unless a young top 2 center was the return.

Also I don't know much about this years draft, say Edmonton comes in between 8-12, is there an impact prospect there or is this a weak draft?

Also can't see Ullmark waiving.

 

[BamBamCam]

Dark horse to upgrade 4th line and physically Taylor Raddysh?

I think the main sticking point would be Ullmark waiving, but hypothetically speaking they could get that lottery pick from the Oil and now have a pretty valuable asset that they can use to obtain a top 6C.

Is for this draft I honestly have no clue about the players, I think you would make that trade with full intention on flipping the pick.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Love this idea too. But are the Predators moving on from him?

I think he gets traded by deadline. Preds will have tons of cap next offseason, but I suspect they are going through rebuilding so they might be looking for picks and prospects.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

The only reason I would move on from either of our goalies is a cap situation or someone totally blew us away with an offer we couldn’t refuse. I have tons of faith in both of our goalies. I’d like to keep them both for the next decade or so.

 

[HustleB]

I wonder how willing Lauko is going to be to fight, given his injury.

Understandably.

Lauko might be as willing as Greg Campbell but he might also lose a fight with Greg Campbell. No thanks. Forbort has a better chance.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

Dark horse to upgrade 4th line and physically Taylor Raddysh?

What’s not to like about Beecher, Steen and Lauko?

 

[PlayMakers]

I feel like they could have used it last night, no?

Coyle threw several big hits last night. The play at the end of the second where Heinen didn’t shoot was started by Coyle plastering Luostarainen to the glass and taking the puck.

Coyle?

 

[PlayMakers]

Much better suggestion than McEwan, I personally see Shattenkirks spot as one to look to add some size, although RD are already hard to come by.

Except Trenin makes $1.7m. They can’t afford him without moving a fairly important/expensive piece. I think they need to look at guys making less than $1m.

Not sure they can replace Shattenkirk with a hammer either. Someone in that third pair has to pass the puck out of the Dzone.

 

[PlayMakers]

Coyle?

Yes, autocorrect, sorry.
