Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread III

[KillerMillerTime]

I think I’ve said this a few times, but I’m sticking with it.
Lindholm, Bertuzzi, Edmundson, and Swayman re-signed

Rather go with Stevenson than Bertuzzi, as a Stevenson addition will enable you to
switch Zacha to LW and Coyle to 3C.

 

[UncleRico]

He’s a replacement level player. He was going to get waived here most likely.

The capitals just got a 2nd for a 26 year old player with 24 points in 105 career games.

Ok. And?

 

[NDiesel]

Why would his value be a 5th at best? A 4th round pick has a 10.9% chance at playing 100+ games. Lauko will almost certainly do that. And we didn’t even get a 4th

That's a weird way to valuate 4th liners, there are literally a whole bunch of guys every UFA period that can fill a 4th line role, they don't have much value.

Really hadn’t followed Edmundson much before we played the Leafs ,but he impressed me in that series.

 

[NDiesel]

Because one team stupidly overpaid for size apparently Lauko should be worth a 2nd too I guess?

 

[shelbysdad]

I would like to know how people are valuing our players....lauko should have gotten more....did you talk to other gms around the league, or is this your expert opinion

My dad used to save a lot of stuff... it'll be worth money some day ...well it's only worth what someone will give you for it not what you think it's worth

 

[UncleRico]

Ok. And?

And it’s just funny how other teams are getting much better deals than we are for their players

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

And it’s just funny how other teams are getting much better deals than we are for their players

It’s almost as if they’re different players.

Hear me out, crazy theory here - teams value different players and skillsets differently.

Like do you think Sweeney shopped Lauko for 1 second and took the first deal?

 

[NeelyDan]

We should arrange a hf bruins royal rumble
Get all the aggression out

Who’s in, I’ll host it and be entrant 1

Great observation. I don’t think there is a single player in the NHL that is the same player as someone else.

If I can be the last entrant I'm im

Just interesting to see Sweeney getting much less for players pretty consistently right now.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

This^^^ I really do not want Coyle centering in the top six again. I have nothing against Coyle, he is a very good player for his skill set; he simply isn't a creative offensive play making center.

He is a possession and puck protecting minute eating center. Fair or unfair, he is the center where winger production goes to die.

My hope is Sweeney acquires two centers by any means available ... FA and/or trade allowing Coyle and Zacha to slot in where they are most effective.

I do think Poitras should start the year in Providence, if not spend the entire year there. If for no other reason than to allow his body to develop more.

Its why I want Stephenson and Lindholm. It will move Coyle to 3C and Zacha to LW.
I also like the idea of Vrana if you can get him at $1M.

North of five.

FWIW, knowing the upcoming season's production will obviously have a big impact, but, AFP Analytics also projects contract extensions...

They have Frederic at 3yrs ~$3.5/4M next offseason.

*And just for fun, Draisaitl = 7yrs, ~$12.5M

 

[DominicT]

@Fenway should have created a GDT for NHL buyouts !!

I guess it's a matter of opinion, I get the Ullmark deal, can't agree on this one though.

Are we gonna see a bunch? I’ve been wondering where these were

Yeah not sure how well their model can take into account size fetish and I’m just wondering how years of flat cap and tepid free agency lunacy and messed with their inputs.

Their numbers for next year are based on a 92M cap ceiling. They factor cap % into their projections.

But, yeah - who knows? We shall see.

 

[DominicT]

We will know by 2 pm. They are already starting to drop.

 

[LouJersey]

I’m sure Sweeney canvases the entire league and saw there was no market for Lauko other than losing him on waivers. I was dead wrong, shockingly. @MarchysNoseKnows and I think @BruinDust had him at zero value

What would it cost to get draisaitl if it was zacha+ and then they sign teraveinen
