Boston Bruins 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion III

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Any chance Carolina would move Jarvis for Ullmark?

33 Goals last season and only 22.

RFA right now.

Come on man lol

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

My expectation is Ullmark is dealt for a top 15 pick in ‘24 and a very good prospect who starts in Providence. We use the pick on a D and use the cap to sign Lindholm. Thats it.

Come on man lol

There’s talk that they’ll move Necas.

If they had Ullmark maybe they’re still playing right now.

If they do that and give Swayman and Lindholm something like 15/16 combined, they’d still have 9 or 10 million in cap space left (maybe 5-7 million depending on what they give Boqvist and or Heinen).

I’d rather they do what you said, then let Heinen and Boqvist walk and use the extra cash on 1-2 other FA’s.

I believe the Necas talk comes via him suggesting he wants out of Carolina. I doubt they'd be considering the move without that.

We've heard no such thing about Jarvis.

On that note... God damn do I ever love Seth Jarvis.

I hoping DS pulls off something before and righ after the draft

Maybe…just find it silly how underrated goalies are.

Shesterkin is keeping NYR in it right now.

Carolina is out in large part due to goaltending.

Dallas wins, Otter will be a huge part of it.

Edmonton loses, Skinner will probably be a huge part of that.

Yes, mediocre goalies have won cups.

But also, goaltenders have been a huge part in winning cups.

Goal scoring wasn’t an issue for Carolina, they scored about 3.5 per game.

Andersons’s .895/2.62 was

 

[vjcsmoke]

Recently watched a video that rumored the Ottawa Senators want to trade for Ullmark.

I'd be interested if the #7 pick is involved. Less interested if they want to dump a big salary player and the #25 pick. What do you guys think?

Couldn't agree more, sarge. Seems like an afterthought for so many talented clubs and 9/10 it sinks them come playoff time.

Bad strategy.

 

[GordonHowe]

this guy epitomizes local beat writers with 0 insight or inside information and just regurgitating information everyone else sees on twitter

no shit the bruins want a first round pick

I like Ty Anderson.

At least he holds Sweeney somewhat accountable as a beat writer and occasional columnist.

You can't say that about a good many of his media brethren.

If you are at all interested, I direct you to Bruins Rinkside podcasts Poke The Bear and Bruins Beat.

There, you will find the affable, knowledgeable Evan Marinofsky and Conor Ryan, with occasional guests like Anderson.

Ed Note: No Spittin' Chicklets, Felger & Mazz garbage.

Give it a go.

I think it’s almost certain Carolina tries to make a change at goalie but there’s no way they’re giving up Jarvis to do it.

I don't understand it either, since goaltending is, or should be, the number one priority for any team.

But it seems many general managers think solid goaltending is either not that important, or they can get a guy off the street for cheap.

There are some examples of very good Stanley Cup teams that win without stellar goaltending. I'm not sure what that says but I'd rather have a Cheevers, Thomas, Rask, or Swayman.

No sense to me.

Probably not, but you never know how things will play out.

If their Plan A, B and C fall apart and they’re left with the possibility of having to rely on Anderson again, maybe they bite the bullet and do something in July they never expected to do in May.

Every year moves happen that people feel is dumb for one team or the other.

This year will not be an exception.

Martin Necas to the Bruins?

A Czech setting up a Czech on the 1st line? Count me as intrigued.

They were teammates together on the World Championship winning roster so there might already be built-in chemistry there?

I mean ok. But a 33 goal scorer at age 22, as you said?

I’m not guaranteeing it or anything.

But deals do get expanded.

Ask Carolina right now if they could start the playoffs over with Ullmark in net, but no Jarvis or roll the dice again with Anderson and Jarvis and see what they’d say,

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Carolina isn’t that young their window won’t last forever and they’ve wasted it with Anderson to some extent.

 

[Tbaybruin]

We're not talking 8-9 per year though, the post said $10 million. Is he really a center though? He was 5th on Florida in FO taken this year at 530 FO. Stenlund was #4 with 835 FO taken. Reinhart's winning% was 44.2% which was worst among their regular faceoff guys. To me he's more of a RW than he is a center.

I want one player this off season. I would over pay for Martin Pospisil. Guy is tough and been a scorer at all levels. Instant fan favourite.

Ullmark's career playoff numbers in Boston over 3 seasons:

10 games, .887% 3.59 GAA 3 wins, 6 losses

Frederik Andersen's numbers this year are still better than Ullmark's career numbers:
.895 2.62

But Andersen's career numbers are much better than Ullmark's
.914 2.46 38 wins, 30 losses

 

[Raleighfern]

RFA right now.

no. I see him a ton throughout the season. he's a great kid, goal scorer, and a plus defender. I can't imagine they'd move him.

I get it, but Ullmark was injured a bit here and did win a Vezina.

Nothing is guaranteed, but going forward, I’d hitch my wagon to Ullmark over Anderson 100/100.

Depends on the player. I would be surprised if Ullmark got a first round pick much less a top 10. No hate on Ullmark, I just don't see a goalie going for that much, hope I am wrong.

If it is Ottawa I really like Ridly Greig

[Guelph Bruin]

Donny is decent at trades not so decent at FA signings (a few exceptions)....so I'm hoping a trade brings in the pieces we want ... Carolina doesn't have a history of losing trades from my recollection ...so if we want one of their prize pieces expect that we are paying a steep price which mean Ullmark + .... Carolina might not be a realistic trading partner IMO
