Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion VII

[ON3M4N]

As a 3C with some bite, 15/30, and a fan favourite

When you say 15/30 are you talking 15G/30A or 15G/30PTS?

 

[goldnblack]

Potentially.....or 13th forward

Well that's the one thing they will never do

 

[NeelyDan]

15g, 30a

 

[dugg133]

Daniel Paille had good wheels too.....he was a 4th liner.

Paille wasn't 6'3" 220lbs with those wheels though.

Potentially.....or 13th forward

They've already said they aren't sending Poitras back to Juniors, and there's a 0% chance he's made the 13th forward.

 

[dangermike]

What do you see him as? I'd say if everything falls right in his development then he could be a average 3C.

oh i meant he could still be a prototypical boston 4th liner but he'll be more dangerous offensively than nosek for sure

If he turns into a 45pt center, that would be freaking amazing, but I think that's a pretty steep expectation for Beecher. He was a 0.48 P/GP player in NCAA, then a 0.40 P/GP player in the AHL. For him to jump to a 0.54 P/GP player in the NHL would be a HUGE win.

 

[Hookslide]

and a guy who in a "bad year" on an awful team is on pace for 50+ points lol.

You really want to give a 30 year old 8 mil plus for 8 years , I don't..........

Potentially.....or 13th forward

I do not believe he can go back to juniors, and he cannot go to the AHL, he is Bruin for the rest of the year, unless they trade him.

 

[wintersej]

Personally, I would rather have Hanifin in the fold and resign him before free agency. Money talks and in FA I'm sure someone will over pay.

Especially since they can offer an extra year.

Why not? The cap is expected to jump to $87.7 million next season. The rough projection for the season after is $92 million. By the time you get to year 4 of his contract the NHL is probably flirting with a cap ceiling in the $100 million range. More and more players are still effective into their mid/late 30's. Even if the final 2yrs you want to move on from Lindholm, the cap will be high enough where his cap hit shouldn't be an issue for teams to fit in.

I think he can go back to Juniors. Didn't Shane Wright get sent back to Juniors last year when the world juniors were over?

Yea he can but once he played 10th game he burned a year of cheap control

Sweeney played the Drunken sailor once with a whole lot of money, I don't want to see it again.

 

[ON3M4N]

I have and I've done well for myself, but I don't see how that has anything to do with this.

Lindholm since the over the 3.5 seasons among centers ranks...

Goals - 23rd
Assist - 24th
Points - 22nd
PP Goals - 17th
PP Points - 28th

Just turned 30yrs old and still has 5-6 years of really good hockey in front of him. He's never had a significant injury in his career and even as gets older and the offense goes in the final year or two of his deal, he's still good enough to be an average 3C.

 

[Hookslide]

I think he can go back to Juniors. Didn't Shane Wright get sent back to Juniors last year when the world juniors were over?

To be honest, I am not sure , but I thought he used up his 9 games at the beginning of the year, I might be missing something.

How do you think he is going to be better than what you already have seen from him when he does not even average over 50 pts a year in his career.

He can go back to Juniors. He has already used a year of his entry level contract at this point.

OK thanks .

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Who? Lindholm?

He absolutely does.

 

[ON3M4N]

Why does his production from 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years ago matter? The player he was at his age 19 season isn't relevant to the player he is at his age 29 season. For his career though....

779GP / 536PTS = 0.68 P/GP

In an 82 game season a 0.68 P/GP is good for 56pts.

 

[Hookslide]

Who? Lindholm?

He absolutely does.

536 pts over 11 years

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

536 pts over 11 years

As intellectually dishonest as it comes.

Very good, I am impressed but not a 8mil plus for 8 years for a aging player..........

 

[UncleRico]

536 pts over 11 years

Two of those years were covid shortened season and another is the season we are currently 40% of the way through.

Bottom line are you willing to pay him that kind of money for 8 years ?
