Boston Bruins 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VI

[DKH]

Good place to smoke joints and drink beers.


The world is getting better at hockey. Also the bruins don’t get the good picks to draft the elite Canadians. Seems they have to search the darkest corners of the globe to find a super star :p

Thomas & Johnston two Canadians Sween Dawg passed on

Let’s get back to Canadian centers Donny

Ty Iginla screams Bruins

Kid already lived in Brookline/Newton so we get him he will never went to leave

Donny we need to tie the Celtics in parades this century!!!!! Let’s go

If the bruins find a way to draft iginlas kid I’ll be over the moon.

I just sat in my favorite recliner closed my eyes stilled my mind and tried to imagine Jake DeBrusk in a Leafs jersey

I can’t do this

This can not be legit

 

[bruinmann77]

brilliant contribution

see people like that that make a silly comment to be notice should not bother.
that is why good info guys don't want to be bothered

They are apparently trying to extend Marner. Unless the Leafs set their sights on DeBrusk instead of Bertuzzi and Domi, I don't know how they plan to improve their defense and goaltending, not that I'm complaining.

If DeBrusk thought he may have it bad in Boston with the media and fan reactions to his inconsistent play, that will be magnified tenfold in Toronto. I don't see it, but who knows.

Just like the shit kicking I took with this one, and then when it happened, silence.

Some people just don't get how it works and I am tired of it. I'm going on 63, not in the best health and should probably enjoy my time rather then dealing with it

Its funny as I writing my post before I thought about this exact tweet you had. At the end of the day I hope you know how much what you bring to the forum is appreciated. Between sharing info you get from folks you know inside the NHL, to the work you do to help us better understand the cap. I know I've personally learned a lot from being able to chat with you.

Maple Leafs Have ‘Mutual Interest’ With Bruins’ $8 Million Forward: Report,​

DeBrusk on the Leafs? "mutual interest"?? It feels so wrong, but I will just say if DeBrusk is interested in being on the Leafs that tells me we are better off not having him as a Bruin.

All this Philly Ottawa talk is making my head spin. When all is said and done if anything does happen I wouldn't be upset if somehow we ended up with Pinto.

Also love the idea of flipping Chychrun for Necas that was mentioned earlier. That's a crazy idea but a good one.

just get SOMETHING done.

 

[Gee Wally]

Dom has said a lot of things.

He also supplies me with texts from a variety of sources. Including this one.

You got something in possession better than me?

 

[NeelyDan]

of all the stupid things I witness on these forums, trashing one of the genuinely connected posters who takes the time to keep us informed has gotta top the list

 

[Blowfish]

Dom said both conversations are being had.

That's evidence enough for me.

Totally agree. BTW thank you for this post...I was able to wipe out 3 posters via "ignore" with one poster commenting stupid.

 

[Gordoff]

dom is plugged into the workings of the NHL pipeline.

and dr quincy is a fake TV doctor.

i'll go with dom (JMO of course)

I suppose now you're going to tell me that "The Don Godfather" isn't THE Godfather? Blasphemy!

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Can anyone else see Gryz end up on San Jose? Maybe he hopes he can rebuild is value on a bad team and get traded to a contender depending on the contract he signs.

 

[The don godfather]

I'll make you a offer that you cant refuse .

Don't worry Dan, I don't see it happening.

Have faith!

MORE CANADIANS ON THE BRUINS!

That 2011 team was beautiful

It would be funny if St. Louis buys out Krug and then signs Gryz.

Gryz will find a spot somewhere. Lots of teams like having that speedy puck mover idea on their rosters. San Jose would definitely have him. Question is what his price will be. Likely not high.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Vlasic, Ferraro, Rutta, Thrun all on the left side waiver eligible. They could possibly waive Vlasic or Rutta I suppose. It's possible but I don't think he'd be any sort of high priority for them.

EDIT: Actually Thrun has 1 more year of waiver exemption, so I guess it could be something they'd do.

 

[sarge88]

Is Toronto using a different salary cap than the rest of the league, or do GM's just become stupid as soon as they get hired there?

46 million on 4 forwards next year.

Marner will probably get 11/12 on his extension, so the year after (When Tavares 10 million goes away) they'll still have 36 tied up on 3 forwards.

Jake will make 6 minimum, so that's 42 on 4 forwards and their entire defense sucks, including Rielly, the most overrated player in the NHL.. So, they'll also need at least 2 legit defensemen and a couple of forwards.

They'll never win.

Kid doesn't like pressure or the media. No way he goes to Toronto. He either goes to Edmonton or Calgary, where there is pressure but he is home, or Utah, San Jose, Nashville. He would be a good fit in Nashville although I am sure they are looking for more consistent scoring.

 

[CellyHard]

I guess Pinto is asking for 5+ over 5/6 years.

If they see him as a 3C and can't get a bridge deal done then it's pretty pricey for someone who they see in their bottom six considering the rest of the holes on their roster

They obviously have Stutzle as the 1C, Norris(when healthy) as the 2C, Greig 3C...

I don't think it's outrageous for them to think Laughton and/or Geekie back at 3 million who averaged about 40 points can fill the void

Better cap management. Ottawa has gotten burned by giving out these long term contracts to young players who end up not meeting expectations

Pinto is and will be cheaper than Norris. Maybe Norris is the odd man out. 7.95 million for the next 6 years,
Ullmark plus Bruins roster player would be close to that Salary.

Good luck trading Norris with no shoulders

What I find interesting is the "mutual interest" part. How can there be mutual interest if teams can't start talking to UFA's until July 1st? How does Toronto know DeBrusk is interested in playing there?
