Boston Bruins 2026 Offseason Roster & Salary Cap Thread VIII

[Mr. Make-Believe]

They just won the cup with Anderson and Bussi why the hell would they be going after Hellebuyck.

I thought the same thing.

Then I thought: What if it’s because they know of a rival who needs a goaltender and they’re trying to either block that deal to keep them improving? Or perhaps they’re trying to drive up the price on acquisition.

Because Anderson is injury prone and bussi is not in NHL goalie

 

[Sheppy]

Oh god, he’s awake

 

[Bruin4]

Because Anderson is injury prone and bussi is not in NHL goalie

No doubt, he’s just a notch up from the Zamboni driver.

You’re wrong. Bussi is better than Andersen. And the Canes just won a Stanley Cup.

 

[everett rats]

He was let go by Boston and Florida journeyman will be gone if they do get helly

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Rangers and mystery team in on McTavish

 

[AKrug47]

What the f*** is wrong with this front office?

 

[Knight]

Oh god, he’s awake

Trolls are nocturnal

That’s a little unfair to Bussi. He was on teams with a starter and backup pretty much locked in. Ends up in Carolina and has the shot and just managed to make a historical achievement and win a cup.

Now, is he ready to be a starter? That’s a valid debate. He is an nhl goalie though.

He was let go by Boston and Florida… and then won a Stanley Cup.

If they get Hellebuyck, of COURSE they will move one of their other goaltenders. Still doesn’t mean that upgrading on the position was a requirement.

 

[Sheppy]

You’re wrong. Bussi is better than Andersen. And the Canes just won a Stanley Cup.

Don’t bother. You’d have better luck stacking marbles on the freeway than to come to any sort of common ground.

 

[AKrug47]

Sweens is on the phone with Lee Stempniak as we speak

Don't be ridiculous, they need help on defense. Welcome back John Michael Liles.

 

[The don godfather]

We the mystery team for McTavish

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

That system by Brindamour is extremely diligent. I imagine Bussi is closer to an average back up and Andersen seems done.

I read that article and that simply cannot be true. Not even for a late draft pick should we want Own Goal Carlo back at this stage of his career. Leave him in Toronto, it will only help the draft pick.

 

[GHFC79]

He is a JAG

27 years old, 509 games, 96 goals, 182 assists, 278 points.

 

[UConn126]

Thoughts on this:

To Bos:
Draisaitl
Nurse

To Edm:
3x 1st ('26, '27, their choice of our picks in '28)
Lorhei
Middlestadt
Poitras

Overpay? Underpay? Figure absorbing the Nurse contract should soften the cost of Drai. I know Edm doesn't hire Babcock if they're planning to blow it up, but fun to think about Sturm getting Drai.

As he and McDavid drag that poorly shaped roster I cannot imagine they trade either but that would be a yes for the Bruins.

Every day and twice on Sunday. I'd love to squeeze a Lindholm in there too even if it costs another pick and salary retention. This front office can barely draft or develop anyways.

Definitely not an NHL goaltender…

He only got on the ice because Anderson got hurt he had a juggernaut in front of him the reason he didn't make Florida even as a backup is because he sucked if they get helly from Winnipeg he will be in the minors

 

[everett rats]

Well if they do get helly he will be in the minors just like he was here and he couldn't even make it in Florida
