Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread II

[4ORRBRUIN]

If you are so confident that he'll be a very good back up here, then why wouldn't he be on the team? I don't understand.

You read much? If he's here YES he will be a very good back, What's so hard to understand?

Just because HF posters think he's garbage doesn't mean its true, I will take my cue from guys that actually know what they are talking about.

One of them being Raycroft

If the Jets only want a 2nd and 3rd for McGroarty I'd offer them up that 1st we got back from Ottawa.

 

[BruinsJoe]

On no planet is Danton Heinen a better player than Dakota Joshua. This is right where I thought his contract would be if as a UFA. Hopefully Heinen gets greedy and Sweeney says no to him. I take Joshua every day over Heinen because of his size, physical play and compete level. Like Heinen fans agrue that he can play up and down the lin up so can Joshua.

BTW this is why you never count on "next years" free agent class. Most will never make it to unrestricted free agency. IF a player as good as Lindholm or Stamkos makes it you pay whatever you have to in acquiring them.


He's quitting??????

No he confirmed that Heinen will be back and hope to signe him before monday

So the cost for Philly to take Korpisalo was the 7th overall but spaghetti brain Sweeney took 25th.... make it make sense please

Yeah because these Ottawa “insiders” really had all of this nailed.

Yes, I'm sure there where many other players involved

 

[22Brad Park]

What was Philly giving

 

[pucksindeep92]

Cant believe that was the full extent of it either personally. Have to think there was another asset coming back from Philly. If that was true, then Sweeney should have taken it and dumped Ullmark for pennies elsewhere.

Futur considerations??....

Idk why some of you guys read this and thought Philly wasn’t sending anything back

The cost to move that contract would not have been the 7th pick lmaoooo

 

[DiggityDog]

Sweeney should be on the hot seat if this is legit.

I’m not going to defend the trade, but the Flyers were reportedly trying to trade up.

I imagine it was their first (12,14?) for Korpisalo and 7.

And the hits keep on coming.

What next?

Marchand retires?

They discontinue the excellent tacos at the TD Garden?
(Great value too….like $14 for 3 good sized tacos)

So far I give this off season a D.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Horton all over again.
I don't like the way Sweeney does business.

Not the same situation at all

Offseason grade gets upgraded to a B if they bring back the jumbo home-cooked meatball

Hahahahahaha……breath, breathe…….Hahahahahahahaha

I call bullshit. With a capital Bull.

So Ullmark was worth Kastelic and negative 18 draft spots... Smartest guy in the room.

 

[HustleB]

I think Philly was sending back the 12 in that "alternate" deal. It was a swap of first round picks and maybe other players but I would not know.

I think I'm a pretty good reader, yes. In fact, I teach it. But you didn't answer my question. Why would the team not keep a very good back up?

Because they think other teams value him and would offer another asset?
Hmm, that makes no sense, because if he had value that would return a good asset, OTT would have dealt him to someone else and not as a cap dump.

Because they are buying him out? Doesn't look like it, but wouldn't make sense to buy out a very good back up.

So WHY exactly would he NOT be on the team?

There is an irony to sarcastically calling somebody that after coming to this conclusion

 

[yazmybaby]

Lol that’s exactly what trades are. There is always risk involved. And the $1.5 figure is the overpayment for Korpi.

At the end of the day, the team with the best player wins the deal.
Right now, the Sens are the winner.
Let's circle back once Korpsy plays 20 games.
The unknown/crapshoot is the first rounder. If I was DS I would swing for the fences and draft a high risk / high reward player vs a safe pick.....and pick the best player available.

I see now why our school systems suck :0

This makes the most sense.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I could see the 7 and Korpisalo going to Philly, but the pieces going back would have been more valuable than Ullmark on a 1 year.

Very curious tho to see what those would have been.

Never tried that one.

Is it served with anything?
Pasta?
Tripoli’s Italian Bread?
