Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion X

[SPLBRUIN]

Norris can't be on the block. Is this anywhere?

They won't find many takers with his contract and shoulder issues and they know that. I have no doubt based on stuff I hear here in Ottawa that he is available. The Sens untouchables are Tkachuk, Stutzle and Sanderson.

Swayman?

I would as long as they had Ullmark resigned.

Seen it in main proposals on hf boards seems like some smoke. Not sure. Anyways I like his potential if available.

The Sens would love to unload his contract.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Norris' contract was signed before shoulder issues.

Maybe send grez and jake back something like that .

With Kevin Hayes having 50% of his contract retained by Philly what do we think about him being a bottom 6 center/faceoff ace? He’s winning 57% of his draws. Obviously not physical but has some hands and he’s huge. Does the family hate us?

Leaving the Hayes family stuff aside, STL is in a playoff position and not sure why they’d trade him at his number. He’s not exactly lighting it up this year though so I guess maybe.

Even at 50% retained he is still at over 3.5 million for the next couple of years. His face off percentage this year is outstanding, but that has never been the case prior to this year. I'd pass

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

Brazeau has gotta be camped in front on the PP

Maybe, but he’s got one NHL game under his belt. He’s the shiny new toy right now, but that will be worn off in a week or so.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I would trade the whole team, Blades, the Zamboni driver and something named later for both Tkachuks.

 

[bbfan419]

Do you think LA would consider something around Kempe for Ullmark?

That is one I have been thinking about exactly, it helps both teams in positions of need.

 

[BruinDust]

I doubt the Kings are looking to trade their best forward.

 

[dugg133]

Couldn't watch last night's game live, but finished the replay this morning. About as good a debut as you could reasonably expect from Brazeau IMO. Definitely not a good skater, but I didn't notice it nearly as much as I thought I would. Seemed like he was in the right spot all game long, had a good backcheck, potted his first goal. Monty definitely gave him pretty favorable deployment with like 70% ozone starts, but you aren't hammering a line with Richard and Boqvist on it with dzone starts anyway.

Needs to repeat that a few time to prove he deserves more then a cup of coffee, but having another dirt cheap bottom 6 options that's also waiver exempt for the rest of this season is a good thing.

 

[Absurdity]

Lohrei called up, Steen to Providence, Poitras on LTIR

 

[Dr Hook]

Lohrei called up, Steen to Providence, Poitras on LTIR

Guessing tht Lindholm is likely to be out for at least a couple games, then. I am glad to see Lohrei back but losing Lindholm, even as underwhelming as he has been relative to his abilities this season, is a bit of a gut punch.

 

[bearcountry17]

I wonder if LA would entertain something around Ullmark for Phillip Danault?

Good player, but another somewhat expensive, older second line enter.

I need to do better for Ullmark

 

[CDJ]

Danault is poor man’s Bergy, I like him a lot

goalies dont carry as much value as we all think, I've been guilty of it myself. especially after Adin Hill goes and wins a cup.

 

[SPV]

That is one I have been thinking about exactly, it helps both teams in positions of need.

They’ll probably have to move something, I know Arvidsson is up at the end of the year, but they won’t be able to get rid of PLD, and they have several RFAs including Byfield, and no goaltending signed at all.

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Was really hoping we'd see some movement before the road trip. Oh well.

Looking forward to hopefully seeing Lohrei live.

And I get that, but do I want another 5.5 million dollar middle 6 center?

 

[SwayHeyKid]

I roll

Lindholm Mac
Lohrei Carlo
Wotherspoon Gryz

Shat and Forbort can watch the next few games

Edit didn’t see Lindy was out

 

[Blowfish]

Bruins with 4 decent middle centers in Fred/Boyquist/Geek/Beecher? and have succeeded with 1B Coyle and 2A Zacha.

In a perfect world you have a Bergeron, McDavid, Crosby, and/or Matthews as your #1. Tough thing to find.

A team can't have it all...and right now, the bruins are okay at center, excellent goaltending, decent left/right wings, and quality 1, 2, 2 D.

See what you got with the new 4th line ... and stay patient to see where the team is struggling into the trade deadline.

I doubt the bruins trade the goalie hug. Debrusk and Gryz most likely gonzo.

Get Vatrano via trade...he's a far better option than Debrusk at the moment with 28 goals.
