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

Bye Bye Frederic

What did I miss?

Btw, how does it technically work if Krejci really did want to join the team after say Xmas. Let's pretend we had some LTIR to use there. He can just sign then?

Jesper Boqvist?? There we go!

That's the kind of addition that I've been wanting to see!

Looking for something official, but it appears the Bruins have signed Boqvist. 1 year. $775k

Thumbs up from this fan

What can you tell us about the player ?

 

[CDJ]

Devils fans seem to like it for us

I doubt Boqvist is a target at C. He'll likely get his opportunity to fit in at RW

 

[BlackFrancis]

Is that the 10th LW they've signed/re-signed? I stopped counting at 5.

Bye Bye Frederic

Looks more like a winger than anything. He is also the same age and had less goals than Freddy. If that’s the case it’s a downgrade.

Weird post by me but here it goes:

I find most of the people that defend Forbort spell it Forbert. What's up with that?

up there with "Grez"

if only Churchie poo came here oh boy

 

[goldnblack]

Seems like he's more the Nosek replacement than the Freddy one?

I dont see Freddy as an option at C either, team has never trusted him to take faceoffs.

Jesper Boquvist, not bad decent fourth line wing/center add. He probably centers Lucic and Greer here.

 

[goldnblack]

He's only 24, I like that

Better than Nosek ?

 

[goldnblack]

Apparently he's fast. Him and Lauko together, yum

Better than Nosek ?

No definitely not, but decent...a better Steen.

Defending Forbort is a fools errand at this point, makes sense those people can't spell either

On a different note, I really like the Boqvist signing at league min. He's a solid bottom 6 guy, think he's more of a speedy winger but he can play center if need be. Still only 24. Feels like a solid bet he'll outperform league min.

 

[Sheppy]

Better than Nosek ?

Well, last year he had as many goals as Nosek had in his entire Bruins career.

Probably not the defensive player Nosek is, though.

Depends. Who is on LTIR? For how long?

 

[goldnblack]

No definitely not, but decent...a better Steen.

He scored more goals last year than Nosek in the previous 2 years. So I guess depends what "better" you're focusing on.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

What can you tell us about the player ?

I didn't see a lot of him this last year, but I really liked him the year before.

Caveats: he's listed at C, but is not IMO a fit there. Way too light and awful at the dot. He's also... Really light. And quite (I want to say) perimeter.

BUT, he's got some ability. He's young yet. And what stood out to me was his quick and accurate decision-making. A right place, right time kind of player who often lined up with others who failed to take advantage. Victim of a numbers game last season and not necessarily a indictment on his skill or progress as a pro.

He gives Lysell an opportunity to stick in the AHL and learn to dominate there before moving him up.

And there's a chance he doesn't make the Bruins team too. But this is precisely the kind of "interesting" player I wanted the Bruins to focus on acquiring this offseason. Cheap. Young. Skilled upside. And absolutely no guarantees.

Love it.

Oh that's fair. I see what you mean then. I apologize for misinterpreting.

You could very well be right.

 

[Oates2Neely]

I don’t like Forbort’s game. However he played a sognificant role on the PK and blocking shots in general that was part of the game plan. I wish we just committed to Gryz for round 1 but I agree with your assessment on injuries and our playoff outcome.

IIRC the PK chugged along seamlessly when Forbort was out for a bit. Didn’t that put the Forbort PK stud to rest?

I think you have this player read 100% wrong.
