Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread II

[AngryMilkcrates]

Scott Wheeler wrote about the light and energy that oozes out of McGroarty, so I'd recommend having the team doctor check him out before finalizing any trade.

Would explain his nickname of "Chernobyl"

 

[JCRO]

FWIW.

Also how is this guy already 35?!

 

[CellyHard]

Letourneau is certainly one of the most interesting prospects and someone I would definitely consider at #25 but usually guys that size take a while to develop

People are comparing him to Tage Thompson, which would be best case scenario but he didn't break out until he was 24. Thats not to say it may take Letourneau earlier but that would be SIX years away. Pasta would be 34 by then...

Even more so, there is a chance he becomes Michael McCarron esq...who guess what...was picked at #25

Too risky for me. I think you move this pick for someone you know can slot into your top nine

One thing with Letourneau/Thompson.. Letourneau is a dramatically better skater at this age than thompson was, Tage was considered a bottom 3 skater in his draft class.

McGroaty is an arrogant spoiled kid that I don't want in the Bruins dressing room.
Anyone who demands to play in the NHL without paying his dues will just cause problems down the road.

I don’t think that’s really what happened though, is it?

I thought it was just that the jets wanted him to develop in their system and he said he would rather play at Michigan an extra year if he wasn’t going to be in the NHL.

Idk someone correct me if that’s wrong

[RiverbottomChuck]

Coyle throughout his career has never been as effective at wing than at center.

I’m not surprised that’s the case, I think getting him comfortable in a wing or 3C spot is better so once the playoffs role around he’s in a more fitting spot to make a difference.

Flyers buying out Atkinson.I would take him on a cheap deal.Easy way to add some scoring cheap.He has skill for sure.

That feels like JVR all over again

 

[Carl Hungus]

Would be great but I gotta wonder how legit this rumor is

What, you don't trust

?

 

[22Brad Park]

Well to me he has more skill then JVR but with Bruins needing to sign Swayman and a top Centre that will figure to eat most their available cap.Least 2/3, of it anyhow.Have to find some players cheap that can score.He would help pp to I think

 

[The don godfather]

Resign jvr on the cheap plug him on 3rd. 40 points for a mil again. That's a bargain.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

It’s just a reference to the McIntyre tweet from earlier. Dunno

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Absolutely. f***ing. NO!

 

[TCB]

Would be great but I gotta wonder how legit this rumor is

Yep, but there seems to be a lot of smoke out-there though. I'd like to see a good old fashion blockbuster with Ehlers and McGroarity coming to Boston.

 

[UConn126]

Anyone wanna give a quick summary on any credible rumors that have come up the past couple days around the B's? Haven't been able to read as much as I'd like to stay looped in. Saw the McGroaty tweet and that we're shopping the first but nothing beyond that.

 

[The don godfather]

Absolutely. f***ing. NO!

ok no.

Have you watched Letourneau play?
Not sure where you are getting your information about TT during this draft year.
This is a good read.

Revisiting Tage Thompson: Were the signs of greatness there from the start?

It took a while for Thompson to live up to the draft hype some were giving him in 2016. So...

38 points to be precise, and 1 goal in 2 playoff rounds. I think you've really gotta look elsewhere. Coming back with the conveniently familiar isn't how the Bruins are going to fare better next year. "We measure success in Stanley Cups."

Year older, will be even slower next year, would rather have Lysell and or Merkulov on the team vs JVR.

Woah Nelly! Stammer as a bruin would be sweet.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Any idea what term Stamkos is looking for? I’m guessing as long as possible.

Stamkos, Lindholm, Dillon, McGroarty would be legit... But I'm sure TO will be all over him.
