Boston Bruins 2024-25 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion II

[Gordon Lightfoot]

We're getting Crosby and Stamkos? Hope we don't have to give up Merkulov or Lysell, no way I give up both for two old guys

Honestly I’d be surprised if either left their lifelong teams.

 

[Fenian24]

Under the radar name to keep on mind, Kole Lind. Group 6 UFA, scrappy, annoying, good skater, puts up points in AHL. If nothing else do a 775,000 one way deal and he becomes a tweener. 25 years old.

Honestly I’d be surprised if either left their lifelong teams.

I would be stunned, was being a jerk. Crosby may move on but it won't be to Jacobs land.

 

[NDiesel]

I thought he was going to the Leafs

I guess that's what the rumor mill is saying, didn't realize that

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

Yeah, Merkulov and Lysell types don’t come around very often. These two are can’t miss once in a lifetime. Home runs by Sweeney.

 

[UncleRico]

interesting that neely said they want to get faster, but are seemingly going to let debrusk walk.
i certainly wouldn't overpay him, but he does fill a few holes this team has (speed and goals).

also love the idea of getting necas, although not sure what they have to give up. maybe use
return for ullmark plus lysell and whatever else it takes. carolina loves the super skilled
undersized guys from overseas.

I’m with you on lysell I think he’s going to be splid. I just don’t see it with merkulov though. I get spooner/kenny agostino vibes of AAAA or less with him.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Wasting a…undrafted free agent slot…on Merkulov was classic Donny, amirite?

 

[Bruinfanatic]

I guess that's what the rumor mill is saying, didn't realize that

I wonder why he left Calagary so soon

 

[Patdud]

That's what I was thinking. With Necas being displeased in Carolina and the Czech players being a small/tight group it wouldn't surprise me seing him here next season. I wonder what BOS would have to offer Carolina to move his RFA rights to us

 

[NDiesel]

I wonder why he left Calagary so soon

"Disagreement about the direction of the team" or something like that was what I saw.

 

[bruinmann77]

Our Pp was terrible I be all over bring in MS but people are stunned we going to let Jake go maybe he asking more than we want to pay

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Under the radar name to keep on mind, Kole Lind. Group 6 UFA, scrappy, annoying, good skater, puts up points in AHL. If nothing else do a 775,000 one way deal and he becomes a tweener. 25 years old.

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Guy was stellar in Dub a while back.

What’s the scoop with him?

 

[BamBamCam]

Marc Savard just suddenly became available...PP wasn't great in Calgary but perhaps with some better pieces here he can help us out?

Rumor has it he's going to Leafs.
Flames, assistant coach Marc Savard agree to mutually part ways

 

[UConn126]

Yeah, Merkulov and Lysell types don’t come around very often. These two are can’t miss once in a lifetime. Home runs by Sweeney.

Lysell hasn't even played a game in the NHL, nor has he gone point-per-game in the AHL. We've seen far better offensive talents from the minors be complete duds in the NHL. I'm very reluctant to call him a homerun at this point.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

It seems if the B’s want to get passed Florida for the foreseeable future they are gonna need a center on par with Barkov. Drai or bust.

 

[UConn126]

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Guy was stellar in Dub a while back.

What’s the scoop with him?

I remember Canuck fans being very high on him when he was their prospect. I'd definitely take a flyer on him.

 

[Fenian24]

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Guy was stellar in Dub a while back.

What’s the scoop with him?

Spent 4 years in Utica and wasn't developing, last 3 he has been just under a point a game. Not an enforcer but a nuisance who hits, yaps and is a general PIA the few times I have seen him play.

woooosh

 

[DKH]

I’d be thrilled with necas. I don’t see him as a center though but would still take him as the RW behind pasta.

Yeh I’m kinda landing here as well

He’s very skilled - I just want him lol

Gotta see if that US - Czechia game on nhl network today

 

[Blowfish]

Crosby would be cool.

 

[Hookslide]

Sweeney is letting him ripen on the vine for the last 3 years since he's had him in his "back pocket." He's 32 now, so he's aaaalmost ripened enough. Maybe in 2026 he'll be ready to don the Spoked B.

I have always questioned why Sweeney never made a move for Toffoli, but as you say now is the time he is Sweeney ready "ripened on the vine" you put it perfectly.

Don’t see it - at age Sweeney not fan of and agree

Gotta think it’s
DeBrusk
Or
Bertuzzi

I’m happy with either

Like Jake a lot but 5/30 my limit

Bert probably get 3/15

He was very good here and he was an animal in round 1

Why do you think Bert takes so much less in term and length than Debrusk. Doesn't make sense to me

 

[DKH]

He got 1 year 5 M last minute last season and a year older

I may be wrong but I don’t see him getting more than 3 years and 5 M

 

[JoeIsAStud]

He got 1 year 5 M last minute last season and a year older

I may be wrong but I don’t see him getting more than 3 years and 5 M

But there was very little money available last year, and what money there was went to better players quickly. And I'm guessing he didn't want to go to a bottom feeder like Arizona, assuming they had any interest in spending their cap space to do anything, but acquire bad salary for assets

 

[DKH]

Maybe he gets more I would land there

I’d offer DeBrusk 5/30 and 4 NMC last year 16 teams

You got a week

After that Bert 3/15

If they both say screw still not worried because I’m signing Heinen and can grab a C like Lindholm and move Zacha to LW

I’m not going 6 with Jake and Bert I’m definitely not 5 and 3 seems right
