Boston Bruins 2023 Off-Season CAP, Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk IX

Replace him with Zadina

Who? I’ll just settle for Lauko thanks.
Zadina. Lol. Massive bust. I’ll be shocked in he is in the nhl in three years. He will get signed by gm’s that wanted him at the draft until interest fizzles out.

I guess crazier things have happened than zadina becoming a top 6 player but I wouldn’t expect it.

What is "right handed center depth?" What does he mean by that? Why does it matter how your center shoots? I'm genuinely asking.

It’s more for defensive draws I believe. Want right hand centre on right dot. Didn’t matter for Bergy as he was used on both dots. Just my thoughts

 

[Sevendust]

I am a Sens fan too. My take is Brown is viewed as a 4th liner at best. No Sens HF poster has said they will miss him on the Sens roster. I was surprised Boston signed him for 2 years.

Bruins has some success in signing fourth line play in the last years that did well for them. Nash, Nosek, Nordstrom for example so I am ok with this.

Ottawa has Kelly, Kastelic and MacEwen as their 4th liners at this time. Those three are not much better than Brown but are younger I think.

I see Brown as a Lazar/Nosek hybrid who can add a little bit of what both did well to the team in a limited capacity - a bigger body with above average faceoff skills who can hopefully PK, bring a heavy forecheck game, and help Looch with the rough stuff. Plug him in when needed, plug him out when there's better options.

 

[TCB]

The Wings are without a doubt better than a year ago. So is Ottawa with Korpisalo and Chychurn for the year. Its going to be a dog fight to make the playoffs if the bruins stay as is.

The Atlantic is setting up to be very tough.

One-way deal

 

[The don godfather]

One-way deal

Monty knows him well could be a good one.

 

[NeelyDan]

173lb defender, sounds about right

 

[NDiesel]

173lb defender, sounds about right

Right shot Gryz

 

[bme44]

Right shot Gryz

I can tolerate a right shot Gryz at 775,000. really no impact on the cap if sent down

 

[quietbruinfan]

Brown is totally without skill. He is a 4th line Jag who is a bit physical. They wasted a year on his contract.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Not impressed..........

What lineup possible this season would impress you after last season?

One-way deal

Now this is surprising to me.

I actually wrote about it last week that his filing for arbitration was to get a one way deal.

Grizz on the move?

Grizz on the move?

Can you say that? Yes.

Has it been said for 3-4 years now? Yes.

Actually agree with you on this one.

I have no idea why he was signed, should be someone from Providence coming up IMO.

Competition for the younger guys to make the roster. Sweeney even said a younger defenseman can beat out Shattenkirk in camp for a spot on the roster.
