If I see a 1st lysell plus going for some 30 something I will be in tears. I know donny smarter then that.

 

[Blowfish]

MarshknowsBest I see you quoted $5 million for Pageau next 3 years.

I'm not sure if I'm reading Cap friendly correctly but it's not $5 million next 3 years. I read $4.5, $4, $3.5.

If that happens it means Donny is probably moving on 1 year past the Bruins last hockey game this season.

That's cash. Not cap hit. His cap hit is $5M per year flat.

 

[DiggityDog]

Can’t really see the Bruins grabbing someone with term at the deadline with their offseason already looking the way it is.

Having said that the idea of JGP on a team like the Hurricanes is not ideal.

Hopefully, if he even does get traded, it’s out west

@Blowfish I don't see the need for a center next year TBH. Dom says Bergeron is going to be back next season and I have zero reason to not believe Dom. With that being said you have Bergeron & Coyle as 2 of your top 3 centers. Zacha was just re-upped and he's been playing 2C when Krejci is unavailable. If Krejci decides to call it quits after this season then you're top 3 centers are Bergeron, Zacha, Coyle.

If Boston wasn't so tight on cap, then sure JGP would be a great add to the 3rd line. If he was a pending UFA then sure he'd be a great add. Being that he's signed for 3 more years at $5 million per though, it makes things very very tight next year.

I hope Bergeron is back....that does change things. Otherwise it's a massive gap.

So the need will be for scoring speedy winger (with or without size works). Meier me.

I think Henrique has most of what the Bruins need for up and down the lineup depth and insurance at center.

Henrique is good on draws and a strong leader with a great work ethic. Need retention though as he has one year of term. Anaheim with plenty of cap space.

I think he's hungry and would fit here nicely.

Not a bad idea!

Makes me laugh everytime...had to watch this the other night. Because of you.

I don't think Lou is done. The isles will have 11 mil+ in cap space at the deadline, so unless they fall entirely flat on their face, I see Lou making more moves for the isles. I mean he knew its a tight race for those final two spots before he acquired Horvat and I feel this is just the start of his moves to better their odds of getting in and I surely don't see him dealing a gamer like Pageau.

To me, this is one of, if not the best options in the league. His salary isn't too high, so some retention goes a long way. He's not washed up, in fact, he's one of the only players excelling in Anaheim right now, and the Ducks are our main trade partner right now.

He's worth a 1st, especially if we can dump some cap via Smith and Reilly alongside him.

Hard to get stuck with that deal next year though.

Why are people clamoring for overpaid 30+ year olds with term on their deals?

Have people considered the cap implications of that, even with retention (which just means having to trade more)? It's going to be difficult enough to build a cap compliant roster next year with Pastrnak at $11M+, let alone when you add sizable money.

For me it's simply this:

I think that by far, very, very far, this is their best chance at a cup in the next 5-10 years.

Generally speaking, I'm all for managing the team with a huge focus on the future.

This year, this team --- do what it takes to win a cup and worry about the future in the future.

Bruins are reportedly interested in players with term. One reason why could be next year's cap.

Say new player comes in with 50% retention (thus is now underpaid) and is now cheaper than someone else on the Bruins signed for next year, making that particular current Bruin the one dealt for savings in the summer. I'd prefer not to name names until after the playoffs, but that current Bruin may also be over 30. Or maybe it's a younger current Bruin who makes more than 2.9m but could fetch a strong pick at the draft.

I think options are available in the effort to build the best team now.

 

[LouJersey]

I think next year they see

63-37-74
71-18-xxx
11-13-xxx

Hopefully Pasta comes back or they prob fill those two spots w a couple solid NHL'ers

I think they've set themselves up to re-load on the fly.

I am all for loading up this year and trading the 1, but another Lindholm type deal would be ideal.

 

[CamMac]

I see a lot of people want to target forwards, I’d rather them aim for another steady top-4 defenseman if they’re going to be giving up valuable assets. Don’t know who’s available, but they’re one Lindholm/McAvoy injury away from being in big trouble come playoff time.

 

[NeelyDan]

I’m not sure at what point it’s unfair to expect bergy to continue in a 1C role. Perhaps not next season, but it’ll be soon if not.

Assuming we don’t trade Lysell and he progress well in his development over the offseason, I want to see this:

63-37-21
74-18-88
71-13-11

 

[LouJersey]

I mean if we are being honest if your 1 and 2 centers have a combined 22-23 cap hit of 3.5 million and you don’t win a cup the front office probably should all be relieved of their duties

That's why Chychrun makes sense but it would involve Carlo.

Sounds like a pretty good LTIR chip
