Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread II

[The don godfather]

Korpi 3 million aav is very manageable. Not worried at all.

I’m not saying you’re wrong but why do you think Monty and Mac are at odds? I’ve never seen anything that would suggest that but I may just be not informed.

If it comes down to shootout between Monty and Charlie Mac, I’m with the “find me a new coach” crowd.

 

[Dr Hook]

FWIW, according to fluto, no plans to buy out or trade korpisalo...

Bruins not planning on Joonas Korpisalo buyout — but can they fix him?

A team representative and Korpisalo's agent both indicated that there are no buyout plans when the window opens Wednesday.

Not sure what it's worth to be honest. Sweeney never says anything about what his real ideas are, and team representative means what, exactly? Assistant equipment guy? Summer video intern? I would expect Korpi's agent to say something like that, regardless of whether it is accurate or not.

It is but Sweeney overpaid is the problem. Sens should of retained at least 75%

I definitely agree I just didn’t know Mac and Monty have issues.

I can get super high without reading these forums. But sometimes it helps.

 

[mar2kbos]

It’s like Sweeney does a better job when he has less cap space. He throws money around to lower tier players when he has space.

Helps me cope with Sweeney's moves and don godfather's takes

You're not worried about....getting fired? I guess you won't be lol.

All the time. It’s probably some sort of self loathing mechanism but it’s fun sometimes. Everything is at an 11.

Don you don’t need to keep posting that you like the Korpi deal - we got it the first five posts

Teams can't go above 50% in retaining a salary.

 

[quietbruinfan]

To answer River Bottom Chuck's question, Monty did bench him twice last year and took him off a power play one.

Love it! I'm getting 2 bags of doritos for the draft party. Donny rocks!

 

[GordonHowe]

Oh believe me. I get it.

I just don't see a lot of options. Lindholm was a big time pass from me before we cut $2M off the expected space. Even worse idea now as anyone signed at that salary level prevents a hole from being filled elsewhere.

Or do you sign a guy like Joshua and hope that between him and Frederic, one of them could fill the void on LW1? Something like:

Joshua/Frederic - Zacha - Pastrnak
Marchand - Coyle - Marchessault
Joshua/Frederic - Poitras - Geekie

I think we see eye to eye on the requirement of some nasty in the top six. Not sure the answer is easy.

Yes.

I am not an expert.

I don't know a thing, literally, about Joshua.

Marchessault, like Lindholm, is a stop gap measure. Go ahead and do it for smart dollars, but neither will be with the Bruins three years hence.

Pray tell, who's Mr. Nasty in the top six? The bottom six? The D corps?

It's a joke.

A well known joke.

I like Pat Maroon. I do.

But he's 34 and at the end of the line. If he plays for the B's next season, I expect we'll see a better player removed from back injury. But, please, next season at most.

I realize many here tire of tedious outrage about the Soft As Charmin (TM) Bruins.

I realize that "in today's NHL," speed and skill are paramount.

Nonetheless, what some here fail to realize is that the winning playoff equation 'twas ever thus: speed, skill and physicality.

For perhaps the thousandth time, these qualities are not mutually exclusive.

They go together, hand in glove.

That does not necessarily mean (though I wouldn't mind) launching a guy into the first row or a deliciously truculent after the whistle scrum.

It can be as simple, and effective, as the Panthers made it: Attack, Attack, Attack. Relentless forecheck, punishing, follow through checking *every time.*

Make 'em pay. Run 'em scared.

This is, again, not rocket science.

I don't understand the objection to this brand of hockey.

It works. It's always worked. It worked recently.

Is there a chair here I can talk to?

Doubtless the fancy stat fanboys will charge in, armed as always with useless graphs, tedious mathematics, and inane "analysis," and all the rest.

Wake me when it's over.

Why would Lindholm not be here in 3 years? He's 29.

Who was Mr Nasty in the Panthers defense? Or the Oilers?

You don't think Kastelic is a Mr. Nasty add to the bottom6?

 

[Coach Parker]

Don would approve of a Pastrnak for Shea Weber right now. 'Maybe Weber is coming back! I like the move.'

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Any chance that 1st round pick can be used in a package to land Rutger McGroarty?

I don't want a prima donna who is already shooting his way out of his first organization because he thinks he is too good to play in the AHL. What happens when he comes here and sent to Providence

 

[Coach Parker]

Swayman $7,000,000
Lindholm $7,000,000
Laine $4,400,000
Stamkos $4,000,000
Skinner $3,000,000

If those numbers are what they are against the cap, where do you spend? $21,500,000 to spend.

 

[Son of Donegal]

If the Bruins sign Lindholm, while he isn’t a top 20 C, the cascading effect is huge and the D have someone to outlet pass to and help get out of trouble. This was an issue this year. So, let’s start there, shall we?

 

[pucksindeep92]

Swayman $7,000,000
Lindholm $7,000,000

Would be royally surprised those players went for those numbers.

Winnipeg is a disaster. They’re not developing players. And it’s in Winnipeg. I can’t hold that against someone.

Think that's too high or too low?
