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

[BruinDust]

Meh. 22 man roster and we're all alright. Mitchell vs Zboril.

It's not ideal, but if Frederic continues on his forward trajectory, that extra year will be extremely valuable.

Just go with Mitchell over Zboril as 7th D and hopefully they can fit in Swayman.


The two guys on the bubble for me at Zboril and Greer. Mitchell might be better and cheaper. Meanwhile, Greer is sort of redundant with Lucic back. Can a young guy push Greer off the roster? He appears to be the most-vulnerable.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

About $50-300k high imo, and normally I wouldn’t care about such a small difference but that puts the screws to Swayman. There’s only about $3.1m leftin cap space.

The Bruins have other viable options to accommodate Swayman, shouldn't be too difficult to shed another $400,000- 500,000.

I have an easier solution:

Demote Forbort.

Chances of him getting claimed are near nil. And if he is? That's some nifty 3D chess from Sweeney.

 

[DiggityDog]

I don’t have an issue with it. It’s about where I expected.

I hope he can build off of last season.

Freddie done. 2*2,3m

Smelling trade bait deal....

Greer makes less than the league minimum. That has value as the 13th F.

[Mainehockey33]

Good deal, especially if he builds on last season.

Smelling trade bait deal....

You have been trying to get rid of Frederic like I have Grzcelyk. Freddy is here for two more years.

 

[Sheppy]

Freddy for 2.5 or under is fine with me. That's a solid deal for sure.

 

[Blowfish]

Ha, True...

But I'm okay with both going for the right trade.

Who do you keep? Swayman or Freddy or Gyz or Ullmark? It might come to this.

I do whatever it takes to keep Swayman however, should the right deal comes along it certainly won't hurt the team if you keep Ullmark and trade Swayman.

I felt buying him out would of been the right move.

Greer makes less than the league minimum. That has value as the 13th F.

True, but if we assume they'll carry 13, if a young guy who doesn't need waivers makes the team, that young guy is in the line-up and pushes someone on a one-way to the press box. There are 12 forwards on one-ways I think make this team over Greer.

I think Greer is here but of the 13 forwards projected on the roster, I think he's the most likely to lose his spot.

Good luck to Greer fighting for a spot this year...Not going to be easy.

It seemed like a sure thing Gryz was getting moved going into the off-season but looks like benching him in the playoffs hurt his value.

The tough forward and the younger goalie. I like Ullmark but if you can get equal value and move Grzcelyk that's a huge win.

He better bring it in camp and hope none of the young F kick the door in.

I'm just trying to block those two weeks out of my mind still.

Sign Swaymans arbitration deal and demote Forbort and you have your 23 man roster. this roster gives you 4mil to sign Swayman.

Merkulov - Zacha - Pastrnak
Marchand - Coyle - DeBrusk
JVR - Frederic - Boqvist
Lucic - Geekie - Lauko
Brown

Lindholm - McAvoy
Grzelcyk- Carlo
Zboril - Shattenkirk
Mitchell

Ullmark
Swayman

Great deal!

 

[BruinDust]

Getting Frederic done tells me Sweeney and Co. are confident coming out of the Swayman hearings that the Swayman award will fit within their cap constraints.

 

[DKH]

Freddie done. 2*2,3m

Donny bringing the heat !!!! Great deal

Frederic-Coyle - Geekie

Yowza !!!!!

 

[Absurdity]

Donny bringing the heat !!!! Great deal

Frederic-Coyle - Geekie

Yowza !!!!!

Defensively responsible line that could be really hard to play against 5vs5.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Who centers the other scoring lines? Zacha and?

Lindholm?

 

[EverettMike]

Imagine what he would have received if two different head coaches hadn't benched him in the playoffs in back-to-back years for being a total ghost out there.
