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

[Absurdity]

I am scared of Swayman's number

Jarry was a UFA.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Dubas should be fired for that deal

 

[JCRO]

Dubas feeling right at home with those deals LOL

 

[UncleRico]

Trade ullmark now if that the going rate for goalies should be a good return

 

[ranold26]

Pittsburgh would’ve been way better off trading for Ullmark or Hellebuyck.
Dubas is Chiarelli Jr.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Duchene for 3mil and O'Reilly for 4.5

We're fine with Coyle though... yeah.

Were fine with Geekie 2mil not enough good for Kraken, JVR the laziest plug wash up of the league...

 

[KrejciWinger]

Wtf happened in negotiations with Bertuzzi? Something went south.

 

[TCB]

Sweeney reached the 20 man roster limit with 6 .2 mil to spare with Swayman/TFred/Lauko and possibly Bergy left.​

[McGarnagle]

Frederic aside. I wonder if Lauko is moved after all these vet signings and the trade request. That’s a bummer imo if so

If I have to choose to keep one I take Lauko over Freddy all day

 

[Shaun]

or they are trying to move out money before announcing it

 

[McGarnagle]

Had posted this in another thread but worth discussing here too

They're bringing in a lot of veteran leadership in Looch, Shattenkirk, and JvR. Is it just coincidental, or an indictment of the existing leadership core of the team and perhaps a response to them folding like a cheap tent as soon as they faced some adversity in April?

 

[Troublesome 85]

Id rather Givanni Smith over Brown. Energy guy defends teammates

 

[McGarnagle]

or they are trying to move out money before announcing it

They probably had an Ullmark trade in the pipe and ready to go and then as soon as the Jarry contract dropped Sweeney was like HOLD UP and wants to increase the return.

 

[Beesfan]

No it s the other Brown, fcking Patrick Brown...wtf are beleive that Patrick Brown

I bet the logic is that we need an extra body at the bare league minimum AVV. Those rookies carry cap hits at like $950k, so it make sense to have someone even cheaper sitting in the press box.

 

[GordonHowe]

If I have to choose to keep one I take Lauko over Freddy all day

I'm not sure about that but though he had his best season yet, I've less and less enamored of Frederic.

I don't think he does anything particularly well and if they let him go, I wouldn't mind.

They probably had an Ullmark trade in the pipe and ready to go and then as soon as the Jarry contract dropped Sweeney was like HOLD UP and wants to increase the return.

Hope that's the case.

It's a drag for Linus, though. It's like dangling a piece of meat @ the market.

 

[The don godfather]

No question donny and bert agent going back and forth .

Those guys are place holders. They're not going to be here in a year (save Looch).

I doubt their acquisition has much to do with a lack of team leadership. If they can provide some, great.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Well the bruins added vets with grit as expected

You just need to change three letters in grit and you will have perfectly summarized the day.

 

[KrejciWinger]

I actually like that deal for Miles Wood... Could use his motor. We might be slowest team next year adding JVR and Looch

 

[TCB]

Trade ullmark now if that the going rate for goalies should be a good return

Pittsburgh would’ve been way better off trading for Ullmark or Hellebuyck.
Dubas is Chiarelli Jr.

There's still teams out there looking for a true number one. Kings/Hawks/Jets once Hellebuyck is gone , possibly the Devils and I think the Oilers are kidding them selves if they think Skinner is their answer. Im sure Ullmark will never waive to go to the jets so I guess U can cross them off

 

[PepeBostones]

Guess the Bruins got a little older and a little slower but will stay competitive. Almost felt like playing Hockey Manager cause guys like Parker Wotherspoon & Patrick Brown always are that the last to pick
At least Looch is back,
Too bad about Bertuzzi. They way I look at it nothing to show for 2 first rounder but also Taylor Hall.
The top quality took a big hit bigger than expected IMO. Trade Ullmark and sign Bert. No need for two starters, but maybe they aren't done yet.

 

[TCB]

Specialist.
Looch a 4th line pugilist/ JVR PP specialist. Triple shift Pasta

 

[PB37]

I still want Ullmark and Grz/Forbort traded for cap reasons and to find a way to get Lindholm and Hanafin in the fold.

I don't know what's left out there for bottom pairing dmen. But honestly, Shattenkirk kind of scares me as the 3RHD. Maybe they think he can help with the PP?

 

[dugg133]

Sweeney said at his presser that the issues in Bert's negotiation was both term and AAV, meaning we were never very close to signing him.
