Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion VIII

[Dizzay]

So, Middleton & Maroon are just going to be given to us?

Well Gryz isn't there and I didn't toss out any picks/prospects.......

A player you don't want and picks we don't have are getting Maroon & Middleton?

 

[Lord Ahriman]

One move he could make is Grzelcyk for a draft pick. Saves the Cap.

Yes, they could. However, I can't see that. They might get done some minor trades, nothing more than that, imo.

I think at some point they have to move Gryz or Forbort. I don't think it works with them both here, and they have no money to pay for anything else. Of course I guess someone else could go on LTIR, and then thy are out of cap prison. for a bit

 

[stungun54]

doubt much happens roster wise. like it or not griz is a top pairing defenseman on this team. not replacing that. dont see how a bottom forward moves the needle to much either. dont see much options to make this team more of a tough contender cap wise unless something falls into sweeneys lap. lots of subtraction for little addition really.

 

[Sheppy]

Grzelcyk is not a top pair d-man, lol

I dunno bud, I never proposed a return!

 

[KrugAvoy]

Imagine Maroon having a post game q&a with Jack and brick. The tension

 

[Colt.45Orr]

I watched 20 Flames games last year and loved Ruzicka. Huge upside if he can ever click. He's had a tough year but is still miles better than Steen and has huge upside. I'd waive the Swedish fire hydrant and bring in the whole firetruck.

They will be free agent, so I'm pretty sure they are keeping both for playoffs. As I said before, I'd be shocked if they trade for a big fish this time (and they shouldn't).

 

[BlackFrancis]

Pasta's had a rough past couple games.

The level of teams have something to do with that,

rediculous.
shouldve had lindholm macavoy as a top pair tonite.
and wotherspoon carlo 2nd pair.
gryz shoukd be on level 9

 

[Dr Hook]

Yep Grizz is to blame for every loss and contributes nothing to every win.

 

[wintersej]

What about Sundqvist as a cheap pickup? Big body pending UFA right shot 4th liner making vet minimum. Pair him with Heinen on the 4th line and let Boqvist, Poitras and Beecher fight over the C spot.

Good thought. He's a dick to play against and he's cheap, plus St. Louis is looking out of the playoff picture at the moment.

 

[BamBamCam]

Just read Zach Parise is looking at signing with the Avs or Bruins. Just speculation by The Athletic’s Michael Russo tho.

 

[sarge88]

Thing is if you were this wrong about Heinen, how can we trust you on toughness?

How do you earn this trust back?

But is he as wrong about Heinen today as so many were when he was here the first time and people pretended he was something he wasn’t?

Because that’s a high bar to reach.

 

[Gordoff]

When have I heard this before?

About 5 years ago exactly

Well not exactly exact.. but ya know. . .

 

[TobanWest]

Sadly though I see the Bruins holding onto him for the playoffs, not play him and then let him walk for nothing. On one hand people say he's to expensive too move and then turn around and say he is a good defenceman. Good defenceman are moveable. Just takes a little fandangling.

I wanted him before he went to Minny. He still has stuff left in the tank. If he wanted to sign with us, I wouldn't hate it.

 

[The don godfather]

Just glanced at the 2016 draft Donny got McAvoy and Frederic in the first round. Unreal.

 

[Hookslide]

Just move him , no one is going too give picks for him alone add a Marc Mc Laughlin or a Ian Mitchell type player and get a late pick and the cap space to get some help.

USA kid, 39 years old, sounds about right.
