Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion XIII: On the eve of the trade deadline

[22Brad Park]

I do like Guentzel as a UFA

Kinda watching him hoping he doesn’t sign extension wherever he goes

I like him to but hope we get a top 6 centre before anything else.( talking summer here)

I feel like some team going to regret giving Guentzel that big contract. Playing with Crosby, similar to Kevin Stevens, mostly stunk here without Mario & Jagr dishes

Possibly, depends on the price, 7 years at 7+ mil a year would be scary

Yup I’m for E Lindholm

His price should be affordable

Perfect place for him here / blend in

 

[Oates2Neely]

Worried this is a tough deal. Let's go Donny!


What do you give in return?

Poitras, 2025 1st. You just know Bergeron comes out of retirement if 87 were here.

Marchand Crosby Bergeron
Zacha Coyle Pastrnak
Heinen Geekie Frederic

 

[DKH]

Pretty sure if we get Lindholm, Zacha will be.back at wing

his contract will be interesting for sure

Colorado always liked him and they will have the spot

Make Heinen Luke Kunin and add Middleton delete Grizz and that team can make a run. I would then go Kunin-Coyle-Frederic.

Oh my

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Another great former poster iirc

Reed rules.

 

[bruins19]

Not to be throw cold water on the party because I'm checking here every minute for elias lindholm to be here and hoping for a Donny miracle but how about Ryan jo retained at 50 percent from the flyers if there are no centers available. Not a bad el cheapo move?

Flyers waived Ryan Jo upon receipt.

Bruins going to announce a 5x3.5M extension for Grzelcyk

Not funny…

 

[Gordoff]

The league is becoming a joke. A second year of the Mark Stone LTIR use to stack the team. Previously know as the Kucherov effect. Toronto has numerous players on LTIR when they don't pan out for them. Tampa with $16 million on LTIR. This has to be addressed in the future.

Makes you (me) wonder why the Bruins haven't put Hampus Lindholm on LTIR?

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Dubas can speed up the rebuild by trading Crosby to Boston

This is absolutely the best move if the goal is to compete for a cup this year.

But the cost would be astronomical.

 

[CDJ]

Makes you (me) wonder why the Bruins haven't put Magnus Lindholm on LTIR?

Seems he’s gonna be back soonish

 

[Gordoff]

I thought Debrusk wanted to play out West why would Pittsburgh want him

Pitt is west, of Boston.

 

[Mione134]

Imagine?

 

[Gordoff]

FISH? No no no, we need a Center and a couple of bad attitude D-man/wing.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Let’s not throw are 2025 1st on this..

Add prospect sure hopefully not named Lohrei Poitras Lysell and then let Canucks add something to Pens too

So basically you want the Bruins to throw nothing big but expect big return.

 

[Gordoff]

Don, you’ve gotta chill, buddy.

Gone, he's gone!

 

[CDJ]

FISH? No no no, we need a Center and a couple of bad attitude D-man/wing.

The teams new pescatarian diet will provide them with the nourishment necessary to go deep into games

 

[JRull86]

LTIR cap space needs to be addressed next CBA.

Can't come soon enough.

Guentzel is the best player in the deal so why should we overpay for something that’s not gonna be on our team ?

I’m okay with a different prospect than those three and even a different pick than the 1st but why overpay for something we can get as a UFA cause Vancouver won’t be resign him.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

LTIR cap space needs to be addressed next CBA.

I agree, but i wouldn't bet on it. It is a big money team benefit. I think the NYR, Mapleleafs, etc of the league will fight hard to keep it as it

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Lindholm would take a lot less than Hanafin

Poitras, 2025 1st. You just know Bergeron comes out of retirement if 87 were here.

Marchand Crosby Bergeron
Zacha Coyle Pastrnak
Heinen Geekie Frederic

Crosby would be amazing
