Boston Bruins 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion V

[BamBamCam]

Why is people looking to move Linus

Because there's a market for him.
Plus I imagine Sweeney doesn't really want to tie up 12-14 million in Goaltending salary

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Ullmark for Hamonic+Matty Joseph

Why is people looking to move Linus

Bussi is ready for prime time.

We need the cap space for plugging holes in our lineup and for paying Swayman.

There is a hot goaltender market this year.

Prime opportunity.

The Bruins aren’t trading Lohrei. You can stop the discussion.

But, its summer...

Ullmark for Hamonic+Matty Joseph

Fire @Fire Sweeney

Swayman is going to get 7+.

Cant afford 12 million on a position where 5 or 7 million is on the bench for 1/2 of the season.

 

[Bodit9]

Only Ottawa roster players that look like a close fit for Ullmark is Batherson or Pinto. Otherwise probably just a pick or picks. Hopefully Staios gets desperate with the quality goaltending market narrowing.

Edit: I think the emergence of Lohrei makes Donny pass on Chychrun. Otherwise Donny probably would have gone for him.

There's nothing wrong with Utah Goaltending
Connor Ingram is a more than capable # 1 goalie
I'm going to say and this is based off that he wants to stay on the East Coast:
Flyers
Sens
Blue Jackets
Red Wings
Might all be looking for a starting Goalie

Ingram is 3.10 GAA / .906 SV% for his career. He's got room to improve at 27yrs old, but your not going very far if he's your #1 goalie

 

[ranold26]

Im guessing something around Chychrun and getting our 2024 1st rounder back for Ullmark would be the deal…. with futures on either/both sides, based on either guy resigning etc.

Wouldn't make sense for them to make their team even worse just to acquire an aging goalie. They won't be sending a major roster player.

 

[DiggityDog]

While I think it’s highly unlikely, Batherson is the guy I would want from Ottawa.

Ottawa isn’t going to trade a young productive winger on a great contract though. So it’s nice to dream.

Don’t really have a ton of interest in Chychrun. Good player when healthy, but a UFA at next season’s end where he could potentially double his current hit. Don’t really get the appeal.

 

[Number8]

Looking at all the transactions on the main board trade page……..

“Er, Gary. GM’s think playing into late June is as silly as fans think it is.”

 

[Bodit9]

Well then I wouldn't trade with them then. Ullmark is likely the last good goaltender available. Price is high.

 

[Kazcram]

I wonder if Caps would be interested in something around Ullmark - Strome.

ully for wilson

Not saying I don’t agree with Ottawa not wanting to send major roster player out. I agree.

However, calling a 30 year old goalie just one year removed from Vezina and an undeniable key part of best goaltending duo in League an “aging goalie” is on the mark. Not even close.

Technically, all players are aging

3 way deal with Konecny ending up in Boston (Ullmark to Ottawa)? One can dream..............

Will not be too high if he refuses moving to most or all interested teams.

By the time the Sens are ready to compete he will be 35.

I like Konecny but his playoff resume while brief, is very underwhelming. He has 1 goal in 22 playoff games.

 

[dafoomie]

Ottawa and Raleigh are both nice cities. Is Carolina still in the mix?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Technically, all players are aging

Some like Wine
Others like Cheese

Then there's the hockey bags....

By the time the Sens are ready to compete he will be 35.

Buys them time for a young guy to be mentored behind him.

 

[Gee Wally]

Is this spitballing or a very educated guess?

Very uneducated spitballing

 

[DominicT]

Going live at 630 again.

You guys may wanna drop on

 

[Oates2Neely]

Swayman for Brady Tkachuk. “Book it”

Resign Ullmark 3 years/ 15m. Bussi backup.

B.Tkachuk & Pastrnak on a line together is magic

 

[BMC]

Why is people looking to move Linus

Linus' contract.

 

[bbfan419]

Would anyone here trade swayman for Brady Tkachuk ? He is my favourite Tkachuk. Being from Ontario I’ve seen him play plenty.

Nope, but I would move McAvoy for Tkachuck.
