Boston Bruins 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VI

[Kegs]

We've heard Pinto's not in play, and I would assume Norris isn't either, so if Ottawa wants to offset an Ullmark extension, how do you do that without defeating the purpose of trading him? Chychrun and who?

I’ll take a guess

1st + chychurn + Korpisalo(50% retained?) + prospect

For

Ullmark + Lauko

Basically chychurn for Ullmark, Lauko for a prospect and the first for taking the Korpisalo contract.

Bruins might need a backup goalie if bussi isn’t good enough for the nhl. And if bussi is good enough you just waive Korpisalo.

 

[chizzler]

I will share this part of the convo. I will forward the rest to Wally when I get a chance, but phone is non stop.

I will add Chychrun has asked for a trade to BostonView attachment 885651

Don’t get in trouble on our account.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Yup Lou told me what was going to happen days before and boom !!!!

So who leaves from the Bruins D? Someone has to be going the other way no?

 

[Hookslide]

Why does someone need to go.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

A 1st and Chychrun is a great deal for Linus.

Both teams will benefit from this.

Expanding it with more players will just make it more so, IMO.

 

[Gee Wally]

I’ll take a guess

1st + chychurn + Korpisalo(50% retained?) + prospect

Better pray somebody takes Korpisalo off of waivers. Cant bury whole contract. Would be carrying an extra ~ 3M every year for four years against the Cap. 2 M retained though would work. But I dont think Sens have that room.

Still carrying dead money for four years . Though less.

$ ?

I guess I should wait to see the trade before I get that answer

I have no idea if Ullmark is even going lol

Did he ask for a ridiculous extension?

All I know is we got some fun and crazy shit the next 9-10 days to look forward to

I may see you at the draft party after all

 

[Bruinaura]

I'm going to feel very conflicted next year when we play Ottawa and it's Sway vs Linus lol

No more goalie hug

 

[DominicT]

Chychrun clarity:

Boston is one of his preferred choices. Didn't ask for a trade specifically to Boston.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I hope Sweeney does not overplay his hand, trying to get that second piece.

 

[Patdud]

@DominicT , go ahead and post it.

 

[Son of Donegal]

Sweeney needs to get Pinto in play, get creative, ballsy, aggressive, annoying, don't go away, don't let them hang up the phone, be an obnoxious asshole, but get the job done. Bruins have young assets, Poitras, Merkolov, Lysell, they are not doing you any good in Providence, but Pinto in Boston would.

Hands off Matt P.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Better pray somebody takes Korpisalo off of waivers. Cant bury whole contract. Would be carrying an extra ~ 3M every year for four years against the Cap. 2 M retained though would work. But I dont think Sens have that room.

Korpisalo's contract is so bad they would need to include the first just to unload his deal. He is a massive negative asset in a deal. If Sweeney were to take him back, there would have to be a HUGE additional asset from Ottawa.

So who leaves from the Bruins D? Someone has to be going the other way no?

No Wortherspoon was signed to be the 7th defenseman ideally. So that would just work out. He is an ideal depth guy, can play both sides. Signed cheap.

I do wonder if they are looking at Chychrun, if Boston has been able to put the framework of an extension in place for him

 

[Shoebottom88]

Chychrun clarity:

Boston is one of his preferred choices. Didn't ask for a trade specifically to Boston.

The fact that Boston is one of his preferred is awesome. If Boston gets 13th pick, maybe a 2nd and Chychrun for Ullmark & Lauko that would be one hell of a return

Is the structure of the deal still a first and Chychrun? Is that known?

There are some desperate teams looking for a goalie out there, so you never know. Cross my fingers

Can't see Bruins touching Korpisalo but the other goalie I could, Anton Forsberg.

ok, I can wait.

Hands off Matt P.

Not if it helps to get Pinto.

 

[Shoebottom88]

Hands off Matt P.

I would do Greig for Poitras.

 

[GatorMike]

I don't want either Ottawa goalie.

They're both overpaid, and I'm not sure either of them are better than Brandon Bussi.

 

[DominicT]

Its fluctuating because everyone has to make the money work so pieces change. I don't know where they are at this morning as I am still waiting for a reply but was told "Chychrun would sign an extension with Boston".

Go back to 2019 when the Bruins were after Brayden Schenn. That deal changed 3 times before Sweeney pulled the plug on it.

I don't think this is the same situation, just complicated to get done because everyone wants extensions.

 

[22Brad Park]

Chychrun clarity:

Just asking here ,but adding Jacob and having Lindholm and Lohrei seems like alot of same type player on left side Any chance they move Lindholm contract and try and add a Dillon type player?

In Ottawa I’m not giving 7

The fact that Boston is one of his preferred is awesome. If Boston gets 13th pick, maybe a 2nd and Chychrun for Ullmark & Lauko that would be one hell of a return

I’m Poulin/Staios 7 off the table everywhere

They are nuts if they trade it
