Boston Bruins 2024-25 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion II

[pemulis]

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.

Garrioch: Senators likely will take another run at Boston's Linus Ullmark in the off-season

The Ottawa Senators would like to make a net gain during the off-season.

I know it’s just Sweeney trying to raise his value, but the idea of keeping Ullmark is so stupid.

You cannot spend 12- 13 million on goaltenders.

That #7 overall and a prospect or 3rd rounder would be great to get from Ottawa.

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

100% Wally but I assume that league executive that speculated that is either employed by the Bruins or is currently standing around on the NHL unemployment line.

lol at this

Chychrun, a 1st and a pick? Come on now. Obviously we'd be smash accepting. I don't believe that for a second.

Also Chychrun on our team is our 3rd pairing left D. We don't need him we need Pinto...

 

[dugg133]

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.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Jay Miller, says he's not a hockey fan.

He's an interesting guest to have with insight to the game, when he played.

 

[TCB]

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."

 

[blurbruin]

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.

 

[TCB]

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

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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

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.

 

[Over the volcano]

Chychrun McAvoy
Lindholm Carlo
Lorhei Peeke

Holy moly . . .

Ottawa has our 1st rounder too this year (25th) - from Detroit for Debrincat

Chychrun is soft as baby poo, and sticks like it too!. Lol

Bruins should 100% be in on him as a 1 year league min guy.

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 is a right winger.

Likely would play with Marchand & Coyle.

He's playing with those two right now over in the worlds as on the same team, they did however play together at times as well.
As long as Zacha and Pasta can convince him Boston is where he needs to be, it works for me.

 

[neelynugs]

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

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.
