Boston Bruins 2026 OFFSEASON Roster & Salary Cap V

[sarge88]

7

That’s a pretty massive haul for two years of Brady. The roster is pretty amazing, but old and injury prone, if they stay healthy and can get a goalie though they should definitely be back in the hunt.

I’d like to see the Bruins ante up and get Robertson from Dallas

I don’t see the Tkachuks splitting up when Brady’s contract ends. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they both get extended to deals that end at the same time.

Florida isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Carolina is built to last now as well. Montreal and Buffalo are clearly another tier above the Bruins and are the best bets against Panthers and Canes. Those are 4 incredibly tough matchups in the playoffs for at least another 3+ years. If I was a Don, I would not be so short sighted to think adding Trochek, keeping Zacha or Arviddsson, or drafting in the 20s the next few years is going to be any part of the solution to slingshot us tiers above.

Doing what you are suggesting would take approval from Jacobs.

Zito gm of the year again

He made a great deal…..but it kind of helps when an all star player is hand delivered to you by his brother.

Yea ,I would love to hear what other offers were on the table .Joe Thornton just came rushing to my mind

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

The youngest defensemen right now in the top 6 for Toronto is going to be 30 in November. His name is Brandon Carlo.

By opening of next season for their other 5D it then goes:

30, 32, 33, 35, 36, with two birthdays bumping the "younger ones" up to 31 and 33 in season.

I mean...

I really like where our pick is going to be in 2 years because they opted not to fix this and patch over it.

Where do you expect that pick to be? Because in no way will it be a top ten pick. Leafs still have a ton of cap space. Well also expecting some of their dmen healthy this season.

Brings us back to depressed assets and salary eating imo. Take on a bad contract for a couple years. Help Dallas by taking Lyubushkin or NJ by taking the Dman they want the least - work those deals to get more assets. Amass the warchest of picks and buy low candidates like Zegras last yr

 

[Fenian24]

Too much $ for McMann.

Not with the current cap and it's going up. I figure that will be a bargain for 25-30 goal scorers in a couple years.

 

[McBrom7]

I wonder how many months until Jack Hughes demands a trade to Minnesota? 8?

 

[The don godfather]

Vegas and cats are the top dogs of the NHL clear as day .

Or Quinn asking to go to NJ?

Didn’t they say they wanted to play together?

Easier to get one guy to hook on with the other two, than two guys to join the one flying solo.

That's true.. I forgot about Luke haha.

Quinn in NJ would be even worse for the Bruins..

 

[22Brad Park]

Vegas and cats are the top dogs of the NHL clear as day .

And Carolina has the Cup

Absolutely!

 

[The don godfather]

And Carolina has the Cup

They had a lucky break not facing the injured tired cats this year cats will take them out in 3 next year

 

[AKrug47]

Do they really need to spend a fortune on a goalie ,Carolina won a cup with Anderson and Bussi and Vegas made the finals with Carter Heart.

My unprofessional opinion? Goalies have borderline zero value these days. I like Swayman and he can steal games, but so can the next guy in Providence.

Can we trade for Bill Zito?

 

[22Brad Park]

haha They beat Vegas though

 

[Fenian24]

I don't think it was rigged .Its more the Bruins have bad luck .100 + years 6 Cups screams it .

That actually screams 50+ years of a cheap owner and bad management. Ownership before Monty Burns was actually broke.

 

[AKrug47]

Is there anyone left who wants to play for the Bruins? Lol

 

[JOKER 192]

Doesn’t mean Florida needs to do the same.

Though that level of goaltending is how they won their cups

 

[AKrug47]

Bruins are dead now

Good news no pressure

I probably would pivot and trade everyone do the Carolina and Florida 7 & 9 years of non playoffs and draft the Barkovs, Ekblads, Huberdeaus, Svetchnikovs, Staals top 5 and let the Tkachuks grow old

Florida wins 3 or 4 more Cups before Marchand retires

Brad gets 5 Cups???? Is remembered as a Panthers

I’m fine with it - we just need to have Betman rig a few drafts we will be ok

We have lived on the darkest possible timeline after 2019

 

[Timmy Time]

I’m hearing Ottawa making a strong push for him

When you say "I'm hearing" you sound like Dave Pagnotta.

Unless you mean to say "I heard on...." or "I read on..."

 

[AKrug47]

I hated Sweeney for trading Marchy. For awhile. Still kind of do. But then I came around and thought hey, maybe this guy is pulling some advanced 4D chess here and ripping the bandaid off. Fast forward to today... this team is managed so poorly by these dipshits

 

[bruinmann77]

Bruins need to sell on Casey and Pavel

 

[AKrug47]

Modern NHL: 3 good GMs vs 29 complete morons

I loved the move it stopped the leafs to going to the finals.
