I’m sure he’ll be fine with a couple years of turbulence when it’s ends in 7/49 somewhere next year

Crazy part is that's good for the 7th most playoff wins among all NHL teams over that time frame. The Bruins have more playoff wins during that time than 13 teams have games played in playoffs

Once Bergeron and Krejci inked those deals last summer and the club had the fall they did, there was no choice but to go all in. They were too pot committed to do anything but.
If only he didn't have injuries and his diabetes didn't give him such big issues. He was such an exciting pick.
@DKH Me and Dan had high hopes for him.

He will re-up Swayman, Freddy and Lauko and wait on 37 and 46 I am guessing. I would imagine he will sign the three new righties as well.
If all that happens he might need to move a defenseman for additional space still

I believe it's only performance bonuses that can carry over because those aren't paid out till the end of the year. Bertuzzi gets $4,725,000 million now for his signing bonus. Then he gets $775k over the rest of the season.

Good question.
Who knows. If this is the year they pay up the tab from last year, so be it.

Sitting by the phone waiting-no, hoping for the phone to ring and it be Bergeron on the other end.
Yup- it is all about the title. For me I think their approach this off-season better improves their chances of a cup in the future rather than if they tried to plug some holes on last years sunken ship by selling off more futures and going for it this next year. Even if Bergy returns idk how we could expect them to truly contend unless everybody who struggled against florida removes their heads from their asses and Bergeron somehow stays healthy for a full year. I have a feeling the summer of 2024 will be a wild ride and it will be a significant retool, one that hopefully can help them become a primary contender again. They have the star wing, star D, and good young goalie. Just gotta be smart about surrounding them with talent. Can’t have any more huge gaffes.

I do. Aside from his own players. May sell off a couple but this is pretty much the team.
That's the GM's job not mine. I have better things to do with my time than make up fantasy trades for players that never happen. I will stay a fan and have my strong opinions on players I like and don't like.

I was so excited for Knight. I remember watching his junior highlights and thinking he'd be a good top 6 guy in the NHL.

That's the weak link for them. You maybe able to get by with iffy goaltending but not with a defense like they have.

I was hoping otherwise but I think you are right. It's possible but not likely that something crazy lands on your lap though.

If bergy resigns I think he trades Frederic to STL. At least I really want to see merk in the NHL next year

Just for shits, what does one think Marchand at half salary retained net you?
Probably worth waiting until the deadline.
Not sure what else they have of real value to flip and recoup assets.
