Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion XII: The sky is falling!

[DKH]

Did we go back in time or are you having a stroke

I’m messing with dr Quincy

 

[DKH]

So we should be excited over Wennberg?

He’s a rental

Obstacles

Makes 5 M

Seattle wants picks/prospects etc

He’s soft by this board criteria

 

[Tbaybruin]

Don shocked us all last year. Do it again and get the best young C that is available or overpay for one. Let’s enjoy the 100 anniversary

 

[BergyWho37]

Wenberg please Donny!

FOW%
Coyle 52.0
Zacha 54.2
Wenberg 46.7
Geekie 42.9

That's nice center depth come playoff time.

 

[TobanWest]

He’s a rental

Obstacles

Makes 5 M

Seattle wants picks/prospects etc

He’s soft by this board criteria

So they're interested in a 5 mil rental, who is a 3rd line centre, bad at faceoffs, doesn't put up much from points and is soft...for the limited amount of picks and prospects they have to expend... Makes sense

 

[Sheppy]

He’s a rental

Obstacles

Makes 5 M

Seattle wants picks/prospects etc

He’s soft by this board criteria

He also might be tough by the teams criteria.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

So there interested in a 5 mil, rental, who is a 3rd line centre, bad at faceoffs, doesn't put up much from points and is soft... Makes sense

We have Coyle for this already

 

[TobanWest]

We have Coyle for this already

Exactly

 

[UncleRico]

He’s soft by this board criteria

He also might be tough by the teams criteria.

Hahaha both of you are likely correct here

 

[Hookslide]

Yeah, I get it, but maybe it lets you slide Zacha over to LW, where he was more effective last year. Wennberg might be a Krejci "light".

very light

 

[Tbaybruin]

Vatrano would be great. Might help more next year, but that is more what I am think they should focus on ultimately anyway.

Can we use some of the return for Ullmark and get Zegras thrown in?

Now we’re talking!

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Wennberg is somewhere between a Nosek & a Coyle, not really a Krejci.

he only really makes sense to me if Seattle is after Jake and offering us a first and sending Wennberg back the other way to make the money & roster work. Only guy in our top 9 he'd be an upgrade over is arguably Geekie.

 

[bbfan419]

I'd puke if Linus was traded to the Carolina effing hurricanes.

I would trade Ullmark to whatever team we get the best return from, if that is Carolina so what, do it and get a good return.

 

[BruinDust]

Bruins need a defensively responsible center who can win defensive zone face-offs. They don't need Alex Wennberg.

 

[Hookslide]

I would trade Ullmark to whatever team we get the best return from, if that is Carolina so what, do it and get a good return.

I agree with you cannot worry about that you improve your team all the better, Trade him to the west and he beats you in the finals, that might be even worse.

 

[bbfan419]

The 4 teams that could potentially be interested in Ullmark are the: Kings, Senators, Devils and Hurricanes, what could be the best return from each team?

 

[Bruin4]

Brooks just tweeting out Rangers gaining traction on wennberg per NHL Network

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Hope they aren’t trading for wennberg. Not interested in another rental.

Rangers are interested they can have him.

 

[CellyHard]

The 4 teams that could potentially be interested in Ullmark are the: Kings, Senators, Devils and Hurricanes, what could be the best return from each team?

I'll take a stab

1st and Turcotte/Kaliyev from the Kings

1st and Alex Holtz from the Devils

Shane Pinto from the Senators

Hurricanes...I'm not even sure I would go down this road. It would have to be an overpay that would get me laughed at (like Ullmark ++ for Necas)

 

[DiggityDog]

The tweet said the Kraken’s director or pro scouting was at the Bruins AND Knights game.

Could be something with Vegas and nothing to do with Boston. I wouldn’t get too worked up about it.

Decent player, don’t really see the fit myself.

 

[McGarnagle]

Hmmm

 

[Bruin4]

Interesting because. They need him as the backup. Probably just visiting the boys room

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Hmmm

Hutcheon is such an idiot. No room for backup on the bench in Toronto

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Hutcheon is such an idiot. No room for backup on the bench in Toronto

Apparently it depends. Not if Hutcheon is an idiot (he is) but if the goalie sits on the bench.

 

[Gee Wally]

If Linus Ullmark is on the market, a deal with Devils could make sense for Bruins

A report from The Athletic tabbed Linus Ullmark as a potential trade target for the New Jersey Devils before the March 8 deadline.
