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

[CellyHard]

This is one of the most bang on posts I've read in a while, shame you had to ruin it with that last paragraph. Most ill legit SC ever, I can't give give them credit for that, especially the coaching.

Don’t want to get into it but there’s a reason I said good coaching and not great.

I’ll take a compliment even a backhanded one

It's not intended backhanded at all. I couldn't agree more with everything you wrote until you got to St.Louis.

I still haven't swallowed that one. Don't think I ever will. That was wrong on every level.

When a coach tells the refs how he needs them to call the games and then they go out and follow his orders . I don't know how anyone can call that good coaching.
That is nothing but corrupt.

 

[CellyHard]

Great and what did you subtract from your roster too achieve this new roster........

Ullmark, Gryz and Forbort out would be enough to fit him with Lindholm 50% retained

………

 

[Bad Hat Harry]

You're going to eat this one.

Lucic will be a factor.

A factor? For what? The reason they start serving Monica's subs in the press box during games?

That’s some bad hat, Harry

 

[Gordoff]

WOW, reporting on nothing to report! Classic.

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

WOW, reporting on nothing to report! Classic.

The tweet was more simplistic than what was said. He essentially said that despite all of the recent reports surrounding Lindholm, there have been no discussions with other teams.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Swayman vs Zegras

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Swayman vs Zegras

Swayman probably wins

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Swayman vs Zegras

Huh?

Sticking up for his teammates

 

[The don godfather]

Hopefully poitras turns heads makes the team bergy style age 19.

DeBrusk , Carlo , Swayman..........

Those are players used to add to foundation

I’m starting to think North Shore hockey fans like North Shore beef is just a step up

In no universe is Carlo Swayman or DeBrusk foundational or not good

This place criminally underrates Carlo & DeBrusk

I’m just glad Sweens lived in the North Shore all those years

Since I appear to be the only one who knows exactly 100 % how the 2015 draft went down - Sweens only major blemish is the Riley Smith deal - yet we are talking Riley Smith, who was unfairly not accepted by the 2010-2013 team and Sweeney wanted to remove Savard contract

This makes sense now.

Good to know that Sweeney doesn't even know what he was doing on draft day.

 

[Hookslide]

They can get Lindholm without giving up any of those guys, but it would most likely involve moving Linus out in a separate deal and packing his return with gryz, Frederic and Linus’ return.

I think people will be surprised at the return the Flames get for Lindholm. Flames hold almost no leverage in that situation. It will be at a relative discount.

You are probably right , I know he is a good player but I just don't think he is worth the investment he is going to be looking for next contract.........I am not against moving Ullmark ,I have even said it should be a priority over moving Swayman to get some cap space.......

I have no clue what you are trying to say , I have always been a supporter of Carlo has been always under valued in this town , I always liked DeBrusk and felt early in his career he was capable of 25-30 goals a year , I will admit there was a point that maybe being moved would be best for all concerned . As far the North Shore Bullshit , I have no idea what you are talking about because I am not from the North Shore..........

He was GM Providence they played Thursday and Saturday no scouting, Gretzky ran show but you don’t care about truth which is pretty pathetic

Saw him at Merrimack watching Bjork on a week night - said trusts his scouts that’s what they get paid for

I know you are part of the hate Sweeney cult and as someone who has studied Cults in American history at NSCC the first thing you learn is don’t bother trying to change the person - they believe what they want to believe

You have 0.0 credibility on the subject of Sweeney GM

Stick to Mitch Miller

I’m sorry to hear that

I want the player but I agree I’m not interested in giving him an 8 year extension into his late 30s. Maximum I would go is 6 years and if that results in him not wanting to come here then so be it.

Well, Dan did it: I'm the Joker now.

Sweeney is done for the summer except for that 300K overage.

 

[UncleRico]

Sweeney is 8 years in without a cup. We’ve seen more accomplished GMs with the bruins be shown the exit in the same time frame.

I’d imagine his time is coming very soon. Especially after wasting two years worth of future draft assets on a first round exit while the coach he fired won the cup.

Unless they win I doubt he makes it to 2025-2026 season.

He just signed a contract last year , do think Jacobs will eat that contract ........

Never mind without a cup, he is one of the worst drafters in history.

Idk how long he signed for but I’d be stunned if he makes it to the 2025-2026 season if this team doesn’t win a cup. Full decade without winning a cup.
