Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion VII

[capecodder]

lucic has court a week from today he'll probably be the big deadline pickup if his charges get dropped

That could be a major help actually.

Anyone think Sweeney could make a deal with Columbus or is his name mud with their GM? They must be sellers and thinking adding Jenner Gudbranson could be interesting. Just a thought. Not sure what it would cost?

Both would be great adds. Kekalien (sp) throw his phone away when he sees Sweeneys number

Jarmo

Weekes shared a cryptic tweet with a picture of Markstrom today....if he's on the move then the rebuild is officially starting there, have to think Sweeney is kicking tires for Lindholm/hannifin if that is true.

Sounds like a bigger Sobotka at worst, go get him. Would he still be restricted by an entry level contract because of age, not being drafted, etc?

Jarmo

Figured but those two could help dang. Maybe a three way trade

Probably and yet he really has no ground to be bitter- they agreed a deal, then Jarno hemmed and hawed and f***ed around and Sweeney went elsewhere.

 

[BTO]

I think that Corey Perry got almost 4 minutes of power play time this year on the Blackhawks, something he would absolutely never get here if brought in to play the 4th line. I think he also played 0 minutes short handed, something we tend to need from our 4th line guys ideally.

I think 11 hits in 16 games is absolutely nothing to write home about, if people want a tough guy.

Him being a depth guy here is fine. But like a 13th forward kind of thing. He's not solving any issues.

Yup, no place for Corey Perry on the PP over Morgan Geekie!

Could someone tell me why Sweeney and the gm of Columbus hate each other please ??

Last year the Bruins and Jackets apparently had a deal in place and Don pivoted to somewhere else, leaving the Jackets to scramble.

It was regarding the Russian defenseman who’s on the kings now. Can’t remember his name off the top of my head

They had been talking trade for Columbus D Gavrikov that went to the Kings, seemed like a deal was in place, Sweeney wanted them to retain $ which they would not, so then Sweeney found out Orlov and Hatheway were available and he made that deal instead, which I guess pissed off Jarmo.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Do we think the Sharks would ever move on from Hertl? I really think we need more firepower offensively.

I also like Zegras.

I want no part of Zegras here. Kid is a complete hot dog. Prototypical new generation kid who cares more about making the highlight reels with his gimmick Michigan goals than he does fighting for position on ice and getting to the dirty areas. Kid is ALLERGIC to fighting for pucks.

Zegras made to be a Leaf

I don’t want Perry here to score goals or toss 5 hits per game. I’d be cool with Perry here because he’s a hound in front of the opposing teams goal. He digs in for net front position, he pisses off opposing goaltenders and D, he’s quick to dart into a corner to gain puck possession. Invaluable experience having won Cup. Ideal 4th line RW imo. I guess Steen fills that roll? I’d take Perry there (on the cheap of course)

Zegras has played his whole pro career on a crappy small market team where he's probably been encouraged to do highlight reel shit to sell tickets. I think you could see a very different player on a team that's actually playing for something. Marchy and Pasta would be great influences as skilled guys that can work hard. (I know Pasta's defensive game is far from perfect but he throws his body around a good amount).

We're not going to get a talent like his in the draft. If he's attainable for Lysell+pick or two+bad contract I do it in a heartbeat.

 

[BamBamCam]

Zegras is made of glass with a broken ankle I'd stay away. Buyer beware.

So you’re suggesting the Ducks front office has instructed Zegras to not engage in the corners and to try gimmick goals in order to sell tickets? Quite the reach there.

Im not a fan of the Zegras mindset. I see too much of it locally at the high school/ college level here.. where after the games the kids are on their iPhones editing their game reels to post on social media, instead of getting into the gym or working on their craft. Zegras is the poster boy for that crowd.

Report: Bruins Could Be Looking Into Sean Monahan

Are the Boston Bruins eyeing Montreal Canadiens forward Sean Monahan on the NHL trade market? As it is throughout the league, the injury bug is starting to ravage the Boston Bruins. With a grinding schedule about to get even harder, this could be the case going forward for the Bruins and...

[UncleRico]

Four less points than Lindholm who plays with better linemates. Teams like Colorado that are looking at adding Lindholm at his price tag could benefit at looking at Monahan instead.

Except Lindholm is a top tier defensive forward and selke candidate

 

[Mione134]

Phil Kessel is still available.

Probably would sign for 10 twinkies and 5 oreo mcflurrys

Because of the injury bug we need a....forward?

There are reasons to trade for a forward. But Forbort, Carlo and Linus injuries aren't the reason.

I don't think the single forward we have injured right now (and it sounds minor) is why we have to go get an F.

Don't forget some hotdogs.

 

[chizzler]

This team has no more picks to give up. They took a chance and that it! Ride it out with what you got. Wait for college and free agents to retool.

And a large Garden pizza!
