With little to no cap room, how do you really address the problems by adding….

They are not selling anytime soon, but they could send a message by trading a few passengers and replacing them with cheap but energy guys.
2nd in the Atlantic but Florida, Toronto, Carolina, NYR, Philadelphia, and Detroit all have less total losses than us
keep you assets and play the kids. There is no realistic deadline acquisition that helps this team be more then a 2nd round exit at best. Keep Lohrei up and get Lysell and Beecher in the lineup, let them work through the rookie mistakes that come and get them their first taste of the playoffs.
It was always a bridge year. Strong goaltending could only cover it up for so long.

I think this team has wildly overachieved and that's all goaltending and a good system. The cracks were always there but they can't seem to patch them anymore. Don is going to do something stupid costing us a bunch of assets to continue to be pretenders. Like is there anyone in this forum that believes the B's could get to the final or win it? Even with a couple of additions? I think as fun as the overachieving was to watch it's cost us in the sense the team is now going to trade away more picks and prospects for a team that'll get run out of the post season quickly. It being the centennial season makes all the more likely

Try to move DeBrusk, JVR, Heinen, Boqvist, Grzelcyk, Forbort, and Shattenkirk. Listen to offers or make a hockey trade involving Frederic, Zacha, or Ullmark.
Call up the kids and get them some playoff expierence.

Freddy I keep. He doesn't always show it but he can have an edge In his game. No one else in the organization from Boston or Providence, besides maybe Lauko shows any emotion
Yeah, I don't think it’s an overreaction to sell the UFAs this week, tonight was the tip of the iceberg, but the problems have been under the surface for a while now.
Listen on every UFA and Ullmark, should be plenty of talent left to build around with our own kids or ones acquired in the trades.

He hasn’t looked like one for a good bit now aside from some flashes.

This thread is going to be f***ing hilarious for the next 4-5 days.
He was very good from the time they got back from Christmas break until the all star break. Then since coming back from that he's been legitimately very bad, think he only had 2 5v5 points in all of February. Same with Coyle, both those two just haven't been good enough and that's been a big part of our slump.

I don't think the Bruins are going to move Zacha, Frederic, or Ullmark, but if the Bruins can upgrade the roster, they shouldn't make these players untouchable.
Next 6 days, trade deadline is on the 8th

Yeah but nothing happens the last day or two anymoreI don't think the Bruins are going to move Zacha, Frederic, or Ullmark, but if the Bruins can upgrade the roster, they shouldn't make these players untouchable.

Yep. He’s still a very good player but it feels like we are seeing his age and wear and tear beginning to matter. He’s taken an ungodly amount of physical abuse in his career and the chickens might be coming home to roost.
I'd have said the same but I feel they wait until they are back from Canada before they move someone. (Unless said deal is with a Canadian team)

Harry Sinden it.
Get a couple of bargain basement players to patch holes and give some depth. Say there were not any good deals available that would help now and improve us beyond this season(Probably will be true). Let the dice roll and fall as they may regardless.
Punt, nothing has changed.
The summer is the real show for Sweeney. Always was going to be.
He will build the new team going forward. Will he be an architect of something grand or do a sloppy plaster patching job? The result will determine his career, methinks.

If there's a 1st on the table for DeBrusk and you're not signing him I don't know how you can say no.
They need to find a way to reduce his minutes, a 35 year old playing nearly 20 min a night is just not sustainable. Bergy never averaged over 19 min a game once he hit 32, the bruins made a very clear effort to reduce his minutes year after year to keep him productive as he got older. Should be doing the same with Marchy, like do we really need him PKing still? We have a million guys that can handle those tough minutes, let them do it.

I hope we pick up someone that can help us get more hits per game. Tonight we had a lot of hits, and that won us the game.
