Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion X

[Sheppy]

There is a video on youtube of him getting into a shoving match with some players from Springfield either this season or last. That is the only video I've found of him getting into a semi-fight. He doesn't hit.

Ok, so transitioning to the Bruins shouldn’t be too difficult.

Something around Carrier+ Novak for grez + debrusk?

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Brazeau sounds like he's a very very poor man's JVR.

 

[Hookslide]

Not even a little - it’s the perfect irony really

His physical stats are impressive, kind of like a boxer at the weigh in, but later that night in the ring not so much.

If what you say is true with that size will not be long before the fans turn on him.

 

[CDJ]

Brazeau has gotta be camped in front on the PP

C'mon, hits are more dependent on who is doing the counting than any other stat in the league. Almost useless. They are also far more dependent on how much the puck is on the other team's stick.

If he sticks to his game and what he is good at, has a chance to contribute. He doesn't have the speed to close gaps and produce hits. He has produced in every league he has been in, so its time to see if hes just another AAAA talent.

Seems like they already have...

 

[FRyan4426]

Not for nothing and I don’t want to see it happen. But what do you think the Bs could get for JVR or Heinen in this weak market? Again I wouldn’t but just wondering.

How many do you remember?

 

[bob77]

I suppose that's a good point. Could plan to move Gryz, bring in Hanifin then Carrier plays RD with Forbort or Wotherspoon?

Idk, just not sure another sub 6 foot D is what they should be looking for

Not sure any of this is doable

But is that not JVR's job ? I hope this kid does well and some have commented on the road he took to get to play in the NHL, wish him the best, but now I ask why are we getting slower and we are looking at undersized D-man Carrier. sorry but no more band aids. Go out make moves that will help this team or ride out the season with what you have, and Donnie your job will be safe you got Jeremy his playoff dates.

Exactly!! That and Giveaways and Takeaways

Ah we’re onto the memorable hits segment of our roster thread.

Another fun fact - only 4 of the top 10 team fight leaders are in playoff position right now.Bruins middle of the pack with 12. Carolina and Colorado tied for last with 5. Dallas only one more than them with 6. Also below the Bruins - NYI, STL, CGY, LAK and Vegas. Rangers are even with the Bruins.

Saying someone is not physicial is not turning on them. Its stating a fact of their game.

Byron Bitz with better hands

I never said anything about fighting.

 

[Fenian24]

I"m just going to ignore the Brazeau signing, he won't be up long enough to care.

If they make a deal with Nashville two of Lauzon, McCarron, Sherwood, Trenin and Smith need to be involved. I like Novak for second line center. I watch quite a bit of Nashville as I like how physical they are, they are a good match with Boston to add some skilled grit.

 

[The don godfather]

No selling buying but cheaply. Let's go!

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Byron Bitz with better hands

Let's trade him for Dennis Seidenberg 2.0!

 

[bob77]

I'm honestly shocked they called up Brazeau.

He's been good for Providence for a few seasons, but his skating is barely AHL passable despite improving.

Happy for him though since he's definitely out in the grunt work to get to where he is.

It’s all about league minimum contracts for the cap

 

[CDJ]

That's what JVR does.

2 PP units! JVR on unit 1, him on unit 2

He just resigned for 2 years. He's not likely going anywhere
