And they need to have about 5 people signed even if a couple are around a million. Plus hopefully they have cushion in the 600K to 1M range for the season, so they don't have to play with their hands tied like they did last year when Beecher was sent down because someone else was 120K cheeper

Laine for $5 with Columbus retaining 3.7. Would need an incentive for them to do that. Our 2024 1st?
I think it is possible with Freddie or geekie, especially if their extension desires are too high. Problem is, it is really, really hard to find replacements for both player who aren't either a downgrade, or simply more expensive.
Especially where they don't have an in house solution to replace either from the minors

I hope not. He's part of the long term core for me.
Freddy being an ufa next season is why I mentioned him. He has another season like the last two or better he will price himself out
Yes, I'm a Freddy guy as well

Joys of being a fan. Went from high of past few days thinking of possibilities. Lots of Cap and a valuable asset to move that wouldn’t hurt too much (we’ll miss Linus no doubt). Now i am full of questions regarding how we address some obvious holes.
I fear that 4 by $3M will be a logjam to a number of possible solutions.
Hope the 25OA nets something good. If not. Well, I don’t know.

Friday night at 730 we will all be excited with have a first, and Monday at 12:01 we will welcome Lindholm, so 2 out of 3 won't be so bad

Taking back 2 horrific players (one being an atrocious contract) is making our situation even worse. We needed every single penny to get Swayman extension, a borderline #1 center, top 6 forward (JDB's replacement), a top 4 dman (I still don't think Lohrei is ready for top 4 duties) and some energy for the 4th line.
Right now I don't have a clue what they are going to do, but I suspect they are not going after the best centers available (Lindholm/Stephenson). Maybe they try Duchene? Definitely a cheaper option (5M give or take?), but still far better than Coyle/Zacha. Then let's say $6M for a good top 6 RW. Those "3 signings" pretty much are going to eat all available cap space, so no upgrade on defense or 3rd/4th lines. Overall, I'd say a slightly better team and a second round exit.

God I hope so, Lou!!!
What i really hope is that Friday at 8:30 we’ll be thrilled with pick.
Maybe so but at least its a chance of getting an impact type of prospect. One we didn't have before yesterday

Why not? looks like a few guys that are projected there could be very good players. I will wait three years for that
Could the trade of Linus Ullmark be the start of something bigger for the Bruins? - The Boston Globe
The trade looks like Phase No. 1 of a significant roster rework ahead of the 2024-25 NHL season.
www.bostonglobe.com
KPD speculates the Ullmark deal and its less than scintillating return may be step one in a multi-step process of reworking the roster.

So now Ullmark is no more with the team, Bruins dont get a lot more cap space for ufa, that could have been great, we get the worst goalie of the league at 3milx4years and a 4th liner we dont need and a late first pick on a weak draft...so Bs are worse after traded one of the best goalie of the league...be ready for the july first and dont expect home run Sweeny like 3mil bad assets and we re gonna be served i feel it

There are literally 60 players who would be fine at 25 IMO, Draft is wide open.
I guarantee you'll get one of those options.

I like it.
Maybe rather Tarasenko over Sprong, and I worry about Poitras being a 3C on a contender…
But seems likely that he’ll be in the top 9 now.
probably way off the board...i guess
Zacha is not a center and with a guy like Monahan on the team he will not stick there long time
So we have about $21M left in cap?
My guess is:
Lindholm ($7.5M)
Swayman ($7.5M)
Heinen ($3M)
And fill the rest with plugs.

I think Bs will signe Sway and a bunch of meh assests at 3milx3 like Heinen nothing great and we will be disapointed about this shit summer

How about trading some players for draft picks. Sweeney likes to give draft picks away like candy but can't seem to receive any. Bringing on a bad backup goalie for 3 million for 4 years does not seem like a smart idea. Bringing on another 4th liner is useless. Maybe package up some players that are not needed. Very discussed with this team management.
