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

[BostonBob]

Yeah but many can’t take a joke anymore.

We all better get a better sense of humour if we go into the upcoming season with the current line-up we have right now.

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

You never know.

Yes you do. He’s gone. The Briuns wouldn’t have signed jvr or other and wasted cap if we had any shot at resigning him. We can’t afford him.

 

[mar2kbos]

Telling you Bert is a buyer beware. He is a injury ridden player that plays a game that causes him to get injured in front of the net. His back checking and defense is basically non existent as well. I am sure many teams are taking these into account when talking to him.

 

[Gordoff]

about a 1.3M delta between him and Hanifin.

The difference is perceived value—Briere doesn’t value Sanheim nearly as much as the Flames value Hanifin.

They’re gonna give Sanheim away. Just attach a 3rd for some salary retention. Maybe get away with one of our cap dumps in Forbort.

He’s a 6’4 two way Dman and his upside has absolutely not been realized in Philly.

Yes please!

Feels like we’re getting to the point that Major League Baseball reached not too long ago where even mid market teams are locking their key guys up or trading them before they have a chance to hit free agency.

Fewer and fewer franchise altering big fish are hitting the market.

Those who do either benefit from great timing by getting overpaid by a team that’s desperate for in impact player who can make a splash or they sit and twist in the wind because their timing is poor and it becomes a game of chicken as to whether or not they take less or sign for one year, bet on themselves, and hope to hit the market again when teams have more cash to spend.

The flat cap has hurt guys like Bertuzzi.

 

[The don godfather]

26 year old denis malgin intrigues me . I would offer 800 k and sign that guy. He has some pop in his game could be a nice depth player.

 

[Ratty]

I hope the bruins don’t give into term he not a team mover

So, it's July 2nd and Ullmark is still here!

 

[Gordoff]

Marchand is 35. Can we really pencil in a big bounce back year? He has a lot of miles on those tires. They would have been best suited trading him and DeBrusk and Ullmark for prospects.

Tires? How about his brakes, transmission, and chassis? He's got a lot of miles on everything. The mind is willing, but can the body deliver yet again? If Bergy delivers what will the impact be to him and his will to go to the dirty areas etc?
Lots of questions that won't be answered for a while but I like the idea of surrounding him with more beef. For the first time in a while he's going to have a bit of insulation if paired on occasion with a couple of the new centers or even Looch (if he can keep up with Brad) to deliver a message. Even if they aren't as talented as Bergy or even DK I feel like Brad can deliver the goods.

 

[Bodit9]

I swear with some, it’s like when the hottest girl in school tells you there’s no chance of it ever happening. Not now, not in a million years, not ever. And yet, somehow they’re magically going to open up $6m more in cap space and Bertuzzi will fall into their laps like manna from Heaven.

So you're telling me there's a chance.....

[KrugAvoy]

Bertuzzi to TOR for 1 year

 

[Gordoff]

Superb

Looch got his Bruins PJ's yet?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Bertuzzi to TOR for 1 year

Oh brilliant. Perfect. F***ing love it.

 

[KrugAvoy]

Couldn't dump AHL caliber Matt gryz for bertuzzi....

 

[Shaun]

everyone calm down we have the corpse of JVR

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Yeah I am just trying to figure out how TOR makes it work.

Roster size right now of 19/23 with 443,550 in cap space
LTIR space of 6M.

 

[NeelyDan]

Well 1 year certainly hurts

 

[Alicat]

Here comes the overreaction.

 

[CDJ]

Couldn't dump AHL caliber Matt gryz for bertuzzi....

He was a +46 last year, calm down with the hyperbole

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

 

[pfw19]

Here comes the overreaction.

If he signs for 1 year, overreaction is justified.

 

[Alicat]

I bet it is something like what Taylor Hall did with Buffalo and in that case, have fun with that Toronto.

It is clear Bertuzzi wasn't going to get what he wanted so he's banking on himself to parlay into a big payday next year.

 

[Gordoff]

Trading Hall and not getting Bert makes you wonder what up

Cap space is up!

 

[KrugAvoy]

He felt better betting on himself with Toronto roster than ours

 

[Alicat]

If he signs for 1 year, overreaction is justified.

Wait until all the details are announced first but I know that isn't the popular thing to do here.
