I think I would put him on the 3rd line and move Frederic to second.
That's if they sign a 1C.
Marchand Coyle Frederic
Skinner Poitras Geekie
Thats how I would want it anyways

I can't see Swayman with an AAV under 7.5m
He would be the Jake replacement, you put him wherever he needs to go in the top 6.

Great stuff
Sweeney still trying to 'learn and grow' 10 years after becoming Bruins GM | NHL.com
Boston exec has had ups, downs during tenure but is 'very driven, motivated hockey guy'www.nhl.com
I'm still surprised, we'll actually not surprised, but it still shocks me a bit that folks do not want Jake back and are happy looking at scrubs to fill that line.
Jake plays like a scrub himself off and on. Very moody emotion driven player. He might only reach his full potential closer to mummy and daddy.
Too bad A- skillset, C- attitude

Really just 2-3 roster spots left to fill, although I bet we'll see 4-5+ guys signed to create more competition in camp.
I'd like to see a decent #4-5 defensemen brought in for the third pair left side. Someone who can move into the top 4 in case of injury or if Lorhei hits a wall.
Upfront I feel like we'll be in on Lindholm and Toffoli. I'm not thrilled about the contract we'll likely have to give Elias, but I do think he's a decent fit. Toffoli could be a great add, but again I'm worried about the contract he'll get because he's at that age were anything more than 1-2 will get very sketchy from a term perspective but he's definitely going to be looking to get as long of a deal as he can.
Pat Kane could look interesting on a line with Marchand. Doubt that happens, but it'd be exciting to watch.

This is what worries me with Lindholm. I think Zacha and Pastrnak need someone that can carry the puck into the zone and distribute the puck. From what I've seen from Lindholm, I'm not too worried about the zone rushes, but he needs to be the guy that drives the play. I think Lindholm may be a better fit with Marchand.

Curious what would be the buyout that Buffalo would be paying for Skinner with a 9 million cap hit?
Like the Sprong idea. He’s fast and a scorer first and foremost. Might frustrate the defense minded cadre in this org. but the guy knows how to shoot a puck. Probably cost less than a Skinner and five years younger.

I think so too.
And I'm fine with Zacha still playing C, but it's dependent on who the LWer is.
Really I see Lindholm as a replacement for Coyle on a line with Marchand going up against other teams best players. That to me is where his skill-set is best utilized.
Some of us are just figuring that he won't be back given the way this has all played out. If he is gone, which seems really, really likely at this point, then his roster spot needs to be filled, and they have to come in line with the budget.

The table didn't post correctly, but this is from CapFriendly, and the bolded is the hit each year. Ouch. If Sweeney did that several heads here would explode even more lol

Ignores/60 = Elite
That Rask contract was signed 11yrs ago. If you want to truly comp out Rask's contract to today's NHL cap......8yr/$9.5 million

If Skinner is bought out I think he is a perfect 3rd line LW that can move up the line-up if there are injuries.
Plus I think he could come to Bruins cheap with 9 million already in his pocket. Maybe around 1.5 Million. Just would be a question of term.

You play 4 forwards on PP1 and one dee CM. You can move Stamer to Center, keep Pasta and Marchy as well plus one more forward.
Lots of teams use 4 forwards on PP1.
Stamer is 13th overall in the league in total points the last 5 seasons, Sid the kid has one more point than him.
He is a solid hockey player even at age 34.
BTW, Lindholm ranks 50th on the list.
We have like 4 pageaus on the roster,
Saw this on Twitter, Grinnell did post about the return shortly before it was announced, so he know someone.
