Boston Bruins 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion V

[DiggityDog]

Konecny would certainly be a nice addition. Hope it comes to be, assuming he is the piece that would come over. Obviously not concrete.

 

[BruinDust]

Some folks in here are not going to like Mark and Dom bet to be Bruins next captain

Trent Frederic?

 

[Hookslide]

Why are we trading either Poitras or Lohrei? Madness...

You have to give something to get something.

 

[Fenian24]

Why are we trading either Poitras or Lohrei? Madness...

To get better by moving them for proven talent. You don't know what either one will turn into but you know what Pinto is. I like both of them and think they will be good players, would much rather move Lysell and/or Merkulov.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

There are a lot of names on Phillys roster I do NOT want.
Lot of 30+

Only a few names I WOULD want.

Plus, this could all be picks and not players. They could be getting a lower 1st that will go for Ullmark.

Only Dom knows (and a few others)

 

[BruinDust]

In a way Philly are a bit crazy to not just extend him. Heck of a shooter but can carry the puck as well create space. Good enough player at 27 to extend long-term again.

But if they aren't or won't, then it really depends on what they would be getting from Ottawa. Who knows what that would be. I think Staios wants to put his mark on the team and make a significant move. They have a high pick and I think only Stuetzle, Tkachuk, and Sanderson are untouchables.

Right. We know Pinto is a 3C. So same question applies.

Forbort resigns for 8 years and they make him C at the presser

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Thanks for adding nothing to the conversation as usual.

Telling someone their idea is horrible while refusing to explain why and expecting someone else to read your mind to figure it out.

I'll say why I think it's horrible. You are basically backing yourself into a corner where you have to give Chychrun 8/64. I like the player at his last contract number and hate him on his next

 

[DominicT]

we need cliff notes from @DominicT

What I can share right now.

Not a traditional 3 team trade. For an Ullmark deal, he will have to waive and the Sens deal with Flyers would have to go through for an Ullmark deal.

It does involve the Sens trading down in the draft.

They also want to talk extension with Ullmark.

As I noted earlier Alfredsson will be the go between to convince Ullmark to waive.

 

[Alan Ryan]

If I was a betting man, I'd put money on Ottawa.

Steve Staios gets what he wants. Michael Andlauer has deep pockets. And they have Daniel Alfredsson to convince Ullmark.

Thanks Dom.

Heinen extended for 8 years, named captain. Sweeney smartest guy in the room. I move go Scotland and only root for Celtic

 

[Ratty]

Like that. Would definitely prefer Travis over Chychrn, for example. He fills a team need whereas Chychrn adds to an already strong defense.

 

[Tbaybruin]

That’s true.

By that same token, in the 4 seasons before this injured one, Lindholm averaged 32 goals and 72 points per 82 (and finished top10 in Selke voting 3 times).

True but Reinhardt had his best year this year and Lindholm his worst. Boston is desperate for a top player but I don’t want a overpay then regret it for the next 7 years. Or the last 3-5 years

 

[goalieman40]

Would love it to be Konecny that ends up here, but don’t see the motivation to trade him unless he’s just not interested in staying.

Wouldn’t be the first guy who doesn’t want to keep playing for Tortorella

"It does involve the Sens trading down in the draft."

Interesting because the Senators have the #7 pick and the Flyers have the #12 pick in the 1st round. So, one of these picks coming Boston's way? Just spitballing. I don't know anything.

Not sure I'd want Konecny. Another 5'10" forward. Maybe not?

The Senators need a goalie. They have now lost out on Markstrom and Kuemper. Would have to think they might be more motivated to do a deal.

 

[RI.B FAN]

Right. We know Pinto is a 3C. So same question applies.

Pinto could easily move into a #2C

 

[Blade of Schmautz]

I'm wondering if it's something like #7 and Chychrun to the Flyers for # 12 and Konecny. And then Konecny for Ullmark.
Probably not, but interesting.

You wouldn’t want a 27 yr old scoring wing who put up 68 and 61 points the last two seasons? Isn’t this what we’re looking for besides a center. Konecny has been goal scorer ever since he came into the league. Did his 5’10” hold him back?

And he plays with an edge.

77, 77, 67 PIM in the last 3 seasons.

Kinda makes the most sense. Maybe some adds here and there but those seem like logical main pieces. Philly gets a D, Bruins get a W, Sens get a goalie. Everybody's happy. Ullmark would need to waive.

I had been spit balling the same set of deals

On paper it seems to make sense for all three teams- but we have all seen deals fall apart at the last moment

 

[AlpineLager]

Absolutely love Konecny.. great. Better prepare myself for disappointment
