Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread III

[The don godfather]

Bruins players fighting for bottom 6 spots:

Frederic, Geekie, Poitras, Beecher, Brazeau, Kastelic, Merkulov, Lysell, Kuntar, and Boqvist (RFA)

Bruins need to focus on building their top 6F.

E . Lindholm incoming.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Well it's a risk to rely on Lysell making the jump vs signing an established guy like Sprong. Wouldn't be opposed if he's ready, just not sure he is.

agree

 

[SPV]

I feel like Lysell and Poitras should have to push their way into the lineup, play at a level that makes them have to stay, like Krejci and Marchand did. I’m not penciling them into the lineup, I want proven talent in our top 6.

 

[NDiesel]

More than 12 spots in the 4th round. Looks like a pure dump pretty much.

Idk, think your overvaluing a guy with 83 career games and 17 points a bit here. He's getting a 5th at best on his own IMO, coming from a fan of Lauko too

 

[goldenblack]

I'm starting to understand this board more as the years go.

Lauko has a skillset (worth a pick?)

and Korpi sucks


some of y'all make more sense to me today, that's for sure. Blackngolditis

Poitras has the skill to play I don’t think that’s questionable it whether he can bulk up and be able to handle the physical play and avoid putting himself on vulnerable situations,he scared the crap out of me every game that he was going to get killed.

Yup, I think Lauko is basically a good 13th/14th forward at the NHL level, and that's what other teams value him at. He wanted out of Boston for the chance to prove he could be a 12th man somewhere else, so Sweeney gave the kid the opportunity.

Where’s the correlation here?

Are you able to establish that the poster(s) who think “Lauko has a skill set” and “korpisalo sucks” routinely hold the opinion that bruins players are more valuable than players from other teams?

How long have you been tracking these posters and their posting habits?

I mean he’s 23 years old could be a solid 4th liner in his prime. And we traded him for a 29 year old AHL player and 12 spots in the 4th round.

 

[NDiesel]

I mean he’s 23 years old

24, but I think what you see today is what he is.

 

[UncleRico]

24, but I think what you see today is what he is.

You think he peaked in his age 23 season?

 

[KrejciWinger]

Maroon prevented Lauko from getting much chance in the playoffs.

I understand playing Maroon the first few games in a series to set the tone but after that I prefer the guy who plays with bite, draws penalties, and actually arrives on the forecheck.

 

[UncleRico]

Precisely. Sweeney could have done better.

It does speak to the expected 4th line this upcoming season being large and heavy fortunately.

An AHL nobody and a minor increase in a 4th round pick is not much for Lauko.

Lauko may have had too many fights for Sweeney's liking.

Ya agreed, certainly not asking for much but can we at least get a draft pick on its own for an NHL body on a cheap contract?

 

[pucksindeep92]

Skinner watch on.

Kevyn Adams says they are buying him out.

 

[DiggityDog]

I wonder what Toffoli’s contract is going to come in as. Wouldn’t be a bad short term option for the second line wing.

Probably very close to Debrusk's although for fewer years. Maybe 5 /30,

 

[Oates2Neely]

I’d try to entice the Hawks to send Hall back here with 50% retention (assuming he’s healthy). Hall at 3m for one season. He loved Boston. He’s excellent at skating the puck up ice pushing opposing dmen back.

Hall Lindholm Pastrnak
Marchand Zacha Poitras*
Frederic Coyle Geekie
4th line

After another serious injury?

Pass for me...he's lost a step

You missed the (assuming he’s healthy) in my post

Even if he's healthy, I'd be worried with him.

Other than 2021 he doesn't play a full season

At 3m for one season I’d take a flier on him. He’s exactly what you need opposite Pastrnak. Pastrnak turns the puck over too often in the neutral zone. Pass first. No long term commitment. At the same cost as their new backup goalie

[Over the volcano]

I'm a big fan too. If he could have potted 5ish more goals it would have made a world of difference- for his confidence and value

[UConn126]

I liked Lauko as an energy guy. I think he's hit his ceiling, a 12th/13th forward but a guy that gives it all out there. Not losing any sleep over losing him though. At least Providence gets some scoring help in return instead of losing him for nothing.

 

[sarge88]

i was thinking Kuntar myself

Boqvist, Beecher, Kastelic, Brazeau should be the 4th line guys.
