Boston Bruins 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion IV

[DKH]

Keep in mind that Necas has some power - he can tell teams where he wants to resign.

Counting on Pastrnak working on him and his father

 

[Fenian24]

They won’t be able to keep both. With Freddy being the UFA, wouldn’t be shocked if he was part of a deal for say Necas. Carolina needs that element.

So does Boston.

"Not a middling pick and a B-prospect or a first-rounder and a decent prospect," Friedman said. "That's not going to do it."

Well they better hope he tells teams he’s signing

One more time " Stop wasting time on this guy"...............hahaha

You know, you can just say “hockey deal” without the exaggeration (not you, TCB).

They want “star power” in return? Good luck! Necas himself isn’t at star power status (at least not yet). What team is gonna give up the better player for Necas?

Only thing I could see is that this is an attempt to get the attention of the Leafs, who are probably looking at shaking up their core. I don’t see a fit anywhere else.

They don't need him too.

He's arbitration eligible so a team just has to take him to arbitration and if fails to abide by that contract then it gets tolled until he fills his contractual obligation.

My point (which he responded to) is that are teams going to give up big assets to get Necas without assurances he’ll sign a long term deal? He can pull a Tkachuk/DuBois and drive himself to an approved list of teams. One of the few spots a good player has leverage.

Sure, a team could trade for him and have him play out this year since he has no protection. But will they if he’s says he’d go to market instead of resigning?

Yes I’m all about Pastrnak and Necas pulling a Kyrie & Durant plotting to join up no later then next summer

 

[Number8]

Can't we all just get along and acknowledge that not everyone is going to agree and realize it is almost impossible to change someone's opinion?

Life is just too short.

It would be nice.

But, Dom, other people’s opinions are just that. Opinions.

Mine, on the other hand, are facts.

I’m very special, you know?

 

[Number8]

Yup

I’m here for the love, admiration and to promote my boys JDB & Heinie

JDB is for me and Heinen for former HF member Glorydaze

Together we shall win out

I love you. And admire you.

Not as much as Chibby though. Throw me a pic, @NeelyDan. I miss that dog. Bet you do too.

[Patdud]

If they're absolutely getting much more than anyone else is offering? He'd probably bite the bullet, hold his nose, and make the deal.

I doubt it, he seems to be a looney. And after the report about the GM responsibilities, he’ll have his fingers in everything.

 

[Dr Hook]

The 2022/'23 to 2023/'24 Boston Bruins?
Half joking but it seems like we've lost a lot since the record breaking season.

Well, sure, but I am not really talking about TDL guys that are rentals, or prospects or young players, or fringe types. More about the proposals that show the team addding 8 or 9 roster regulars, which is something you just don't see. Taking two seasons together, then yeah, I think that is more viable. Going back to the record year, we had three rentals, then two retirements to follow, and this year we have some potential departures, which opening day to opening day over two seasons could look like what some people have the team doing in a single summer off-season. But, it's all in good fun to speculate and wish

Like his eyebrows. Like my old hound/best buddy.

Is a former Vezina winner considered a star?

I like it!
7 D's to go along with
7 days of the week
7 deadly sins
7 seas
7 wonders of the world
7 continents
7 Dwarfs

This was my thought. I'm not sure what they'd have available that gets them into the first round. Maybe Ullmark gets them a late 1st if they moved him

 

[Clint Eastwood]

You watch this years playoffs ? The difference is teams with guys like Dakota.

Overpaying for guys like Joshua causes issues and a backlog of problems especially if they fall off.

The key is finding the next Dakota Joshua without the price tag.

Not only a star but Star Power

Joshua is a candidate to go from underrated to overated

Bruins projected bottom 6 to me top notch in that all 6 are on a first or second special team can move up and down the lineup and positionally

It’s pretty wild to me atleast how good and cheep it is right now

Heinen - Frederic - Geekie
Beecher -Boqvist - Brazeau
Lauko

All 7 make about 10 M

Ridiculous

The entire third line plays all over the place and Heinen and Frederic are metrically top defensive forwards

Maurice a couple of weeks ago on nhl network was gushing over Bruins depth how they just come at you

 

[DKH]

Just to add I’m a Poitras guy and his ceiling is Savard like skills but when he got out there at end it was like watching my kids playing bigger stronger kids

I found myself not even watching game but him hoping he doesn’t get flattened

When Bergeron came back from his serious concussion I was uncomfortable every game just subconsciously and the feeling it generated of ugh every shift Bergy took for a couple of years- is this the game

Poitras is like a boy out there - a freshman with skills but not speed enough to get out of harms way

I’m open minded so if he shows up and looks like 2006 Savard then hell yeh he stays but otherwise I want to see him in Providence showing he’s to good for that league and healthy

I’m giving him nothing on any lineup

Agree but we need him now. 3.5 mil is not a lot of $$. I’m also a big cap guy who knows what cap space is worth. I would take a shot at him.

 

[Tbaybruin]

If we want a Stanley cup team we will win with goaltending and defence. We don’t match up with any contenders up front. We need to sign guys who are playoff worthy.
