Boston Bruins 2024-25 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion II

[ON3M4N]

some interesting projections in here for contracts

https://x.com/i/web/status/1793729300577050974

Stamkos 3yr/$6.1 million? Seems pretty cheap for a guy coming off back to back 80+ point seasons who wins nearly 55% of his draws

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

If those were what they wanted I’d sign both Lindholm and Stephenson to those deals. I’d also be all over Brendan Dillon at 2 at $2.9 per. I think with many teams with cash I see them getting more than what the model says.

If I'm the Bruins, Lindholm for 6.75 mill is an easy yes

DeBrusk at 5.8 for 5 years is a yes

Dillion at 2.9 is a yes

Joshua at 3.25 is a yes

I think these numbers are going to be low lot of teams with cap space and if the new owner of Utah is willing to spend they have something like $43 million in cap space ,14 teams with over $20 million.

If we use those projections and trade Ullmark

Add Lindholm, teraveinen and Ian Cole. Resign debrusk

Geekie-Beecher-brazeau

Lohrei-McAvoy

I think these numbers are going to be low lot of teams with cap space and if the new owner of Utah is willing to spend they have something like $43 million in cap space ,14 teams with over $20 million.

How many teams out there with cap room that will be looking for a top 6 center? That might effect whatever offer he gets, especially if he wants to go to a contender.

 

[LouJersey]

No chance Gryz gets that deal. Most of them seem pretty high... If they want speed Duclair and ABeau seem pretty cheap. I would give Stamkos 3/21 to move as well

 

[Hookslide]

Stamkos 3yr/$6.1 million? Seems pretty cheap for a guy coming off back to back 80+ point seasons who wins nearly 55% of his draws

I am not in favor of signing over 30 players to big contracts, but I must admit Stamkos is one guy that could change my thinking, a true pro, hockey player, maybe he will bring Hedman with him.........

 

[ON3M4N]

I wouldn't consider that a big contract. A $6 million cap hit would be only 7% of a teams cap next season.

 

[Hookslide]

I wouldn't consider that a bug contract. A $6 million cap hit would be only 7% of a teams cap next season.

You are right but there are not many 34 year olds I would sign to 6 mil contract and at 3 years.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

How many teams out there with cap room that will be looking for a top 6 center? That might effect whatever offer he gets, especially if he wants to go to a contender.

That I don’t know haven’t looked that closely

 

[bbfan419]

Beauvillier could be a cheap add for the bottom 6 and I know we have bigger fish to fry, but if looking for 4th line grit at a cheap price, a guy like Sammy Blais could fit in with Beecher and Brazeau nicely.

 

[ON3M4N]

You are right but there are not many 34 year olds I would sign to 6 mil contract and at 3 years.

Were seeing more and more player got deeper into their 30's and being effective. Stammer is a elite player and even should age well over the next 3yrs. It's not like he's a middle 6 guy, he's a legit top line player whose a line driver. If he falls off a cliff he's still a middle 6 level player

 

[HustleB]

If I'm the Bruins, Lindholm for 6.75 mill is an easy yes

DeBrusk at 5.8 for 5 years is a yes

Dillion at 2.9 is a yes

Joshua at 3.25 is a yes


Zacha -- Lindholm -- Pasta

Marchand -- Coyle -- DeBrusk

Joshua -- Frederic -- Geekie

Lauko -- Beecher -- Braz


Dillon -- McAvoy

Lindholm -- Carlo

Lohrei -- Peeke


Swayman
Bussi

I agree. However, I still think Lindholm will get more than 7. I'd sign him for 0.5 million more if that's what it took.

 

[NeelyDan]

@Sheppy what would you trade for me

 

[bme44]

No chance Gryz gets that deal. Most of them seem pretty high... If they want speed Duclair and ABeau seem pretty cheap. I would give Stamkos 3/21 to move as well

I agree with you on GRYZ . Anything over 1.5 mil I think not. I hope he can get a deal . Just as long as it is not in a Bruin uniform

Im very interested in what Utah will now spend. They are sitting on a ton of cash. And yep JDB may be of interest . why not?

 

[PoisonEye]

Those numbers all seem low. I'd re-sign DeBrusk at 5.8 in a second, and I'd also sign Stamkos for 6m for 3 years in half a second.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Those numbers all seem low. I'd re-sign DeBrusk at 5.8 in a second, and I'd also sign Stamkos for 6m for 3 years in half a second.

Yes, I think they are a mix, the are probably low for the top end talent, almost certainly the top 15-20 guys will have bidding wars. And year their are others too high.

Honestly I could see a team give Gryz that contract, even though I think it is more than twice what I would pay him, but purely statistics, they are always great

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Im very interested in what Utah will now spend. They are sitting on a ton of cash. And yep JDB may be of interest . why not?

His agent is certainly getting the word out…

 

[Oates2Neely]

5.5m for Jake I’d sign him. His roller coaster regular seasons aside he seems to up his game in the playoffs.

I’d consider Stamkos too. Stamkos centering Zacha & Pastrnak would be interesting. He gets overlooked often by most fanbases but he continues to put up solid numbers.

I’d inquire about Edmunson. I don’t think he was in a good situation with that Leafs defensive system. At the right price he’d be a good fit on the 3rd pairing.

 

[Fenian24]

No chance Gryz gets that deal. Most of them seem pretty high... If they want speed Duclair and ABeau seem pretty cheap. I would give Stamkos 3/21 to move as well

Duhaime is one of the fastest skaters in the NHL.
