I'm probably crazy here. But I kick the tires on Pavelski. Have him with Marchand and Potsy. Great mentorship, defense stability with the wings, adn then a stud net front presence on teh PP. Put Coyle with freddy and geekie for line 3. Then can sign either a center or wing to play with Zacha and pasta.

Lysell in with an injury.

Friedman: - Canes to buyout Kotkaniemi?

On a recent episode of 32 thoughts Friedman said that the Canes could buyout Kotkaniemi. On one that's brutal that's a 12 year buyout. On the other he's under 26 so It's a 1/3 buyout. 835K for 12 years

This is what I expect from the Bruins management; buying low on a Kotkaniemi project to look like the smartest in the room who doesn't show up in the playoffs.

He has looked his age to say the least in these playoffs. He was almost healthy scratched so I'd steer away.

You're probably right, I see the same in the playoffs. But I was thinking what if you limit him to 50 games, play twice a week. Would he then have the energy for the playoffs? This allows you to integrate rookies at a slower pace.

Why would Palveski leave Dallas? He's got it made

Has Frederic took a big enough jump in development to replace DeBrusk?
And if so move him to 2nd line RW and maybe sign someone like Joshua or Trenin for 3rd line.
Zacha - Lindholm - Pasta
Marchand - Monahan/Stephenson - Frederic
Trenin/ Joshua - Coyle - Geekie
FA/Boqvist/Beecher/Lauko/ Merkulov, Brazeau

If they’re smart they’ll take advantage of having cap space this season to properly slot everyone and not play the “let’s hope someone can become something they aren’t” game.

I’m done hoping guys who have proven to be third liners will magically become second liners.

They lost, in part, because they didn’t get secondary scoring.

They have the money and flexibility to ice a lineup where the third line is Frederic, Coyle, Geekie.

That’s potentially as good a third line as we’ve seen in over a decade.

Also, they can ice a legit 4th line that will cost around 2.7 - 3.0 total if they go with some combination of Lauko, Beecher, Brazeau, Boqvist.

That’s a pretty good 4th line, very cheap.

Teuvo Teravainen would be a really good signing if they decide to let Debrusk walk cause he's asking for too much. Kinda fills the same role as a 2nd line wing that's a good 2-way player and a great PKer. More consistent with his scoring year to year then Jake is though.

If that ‘offer’ as speculated upon is close to true Id take it and run if Linus agreed.

Me too! Even if its a little close like the first round pick or Chychurn, but I think its a lot of hot air being released and he also suggests that Ulmmark can turn the trade down, well not once he's submitted his no-trade list and if Ottawa wasn't on it, he'd be a goner no matter how Linus feels after the deal has been completed but no-way is his value close to being that high.

"A league executive said Thursday he believes the Senators would likely have to offer defenceman Jakob Chychrun along with a first-round pick and another selection to acquire Ullmark. Even then, he has the hammer because he does have the modified no-trade clause."
 
Looks like former Bruin Ondrej Kase had a healthy year in Czechia and is looking to come back to the NHL.

Wonder if he'd be worth a go similar to Shattenkirk, Jvr, Heinen this year.

Doesn't seem that he's interested in going.

I'm pretty sure Sweeney's tried a few different scenarios to get Ullmark to change his mind.

Personally, I think 2024 would be a good time to move to a different country.

I actually think it was more of what Ottawa offered, a package involving Korpisalo as being the main piece. Im sure Sweeney Politely declined, as he has Bussi waiting in the wings and at a much cheaper price. Rumor also had it that Linus wanted to stay on the east coast and all the teams out west were on his list

Necas being an RFA and playing with Pasta and Zacha right now can only help.
Click to expand...

this is exactly what they should be looking at. necas said he wants to play center,
seems like he's been unhappy in carolina for a little while. we don't know how he'd
fit as a center, obviously...but either way he's a high-end talent which the bruins
need. if it doesn't work in the middle, he's an elite 2RW.

ullmark and whatever else has to go, i'd be all over this.
