Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread III

[kdog82]

Lindholm is a fine player. 7.5 per is perfect imo. Cap will surely be going up each year. Put him with Pasta and he will get 75+ points easily while winning crucial draws and playing a great 2way game.

Its a no brainer.

It would be funny if we signed Bertuzzi. Get him and our 1st we traded for him back in the same offseason.

It would be funny if the Bruins made some moves to clear space, made a plan to try and get Bertuzzi signed, and then he didn't sign with Boston again this offseason

No interest int he player

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

My preferences: Given we get 3 pieces
1. Lindholm or Stammer
2. Necas or McGroarty
3. Dillion or Zadorov
Bonus:
Lauko for Olivier........nay have typed this one 200-300 times since the Bruins were eliminated

Honest question - have you ever watched McGroarty play? If so, why would you put him in the same tier as Necas?

 

[Drift]

Kadri isn’t a free agent what or who would the Bruins be giving up don’t think the 25th pick is doing it.

Don't know, don't want to guess. Just feel like its going to happen haha. Perfectly fine with it not happening.

It's kind of crazy because if you asked me what the Bruins three biggest needs going into the offseason it would be

1) a top six center, defensively responsible, good on face-offs, can play the bumper on the PP - Elias Lindholm
2) a top four LH defenseman who can get shots through, play physical, PK - Nikita Zadorov
3) a young top six power forward, net front presence, leadership - Rutger McGroarty

I get Lindholm and Zadorov are probably going to get contracts that aren't the prettiest and McGroarty is probably going to cost #25 + but I don't really care. PAY IT. They fill holes on the roster that we cannot fill within our system. No one in the minors has those skillsets or are remotely close.

I don't like seeing overpayments in FA like the rest of us but beggars cant be choosers. Go get your guys. It's what teams like Tampa and Vegas did to win.

 

[The don godfather]

Elias lindholm and toffoli combination would be lethal.

Born to be a Bruin.

(At least what a Bruin was when I was growing up)

 

[GoBs]

I am against anther contract for heinen but if that is Sweeney’s intentions hope he waits to fill the more pressing needs at the moment.
Possibly two centers and a wing (not heinen)

Id be pretty happy with that.

100 percent.

If that's the plan, here's hoping they pull it off.

 

[Demon Eyes]

I'm hoping Brad can convince Sid to come over after their final years on some sort of Kariya Selanne deal.

 

[bbfan419]

I wonder if the Jets would be interested in John Beecher as part of a deal for Rutger?

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Don’t spend money on bottom six guys. It’s set
Freddy-Poitras/Coyle-Geekie
Beecher/lauko/kastelic/brazeau/kuntar/boqvist(?)
Top. 6. Talent.

Not only that, we have tons of bottom six talent in the pipeline. Guys like Duran, Farinacci, and Kuntar (know you mentioned him) are knocking on the door in Providence.

 

[Demon Eyes]

Would Montour be a consideration, seems he's going free agency now.

 

[TSBruins13]

Convince Sid to sign, sign Stamkos.

Old team but man that would be fun!

He looks like Andy Dwyer every time he’s unsure

 

[PB37]

Would Montour be a consideration, seems he's going free agency now.

Would have to trade Carlo and hope Toronto dont outbid the Bruins. Montour would also cost 6-7, not sure if he's worth it.

 

[kdog82]

Swayman 7.5
Lindholm 7.5
Zadorov 4.5
Trade for McGroarty

With room to spare!

That's a slap in the face kind of offer from Tampa, but I guess they really can't afford that much more.

Who replaces DeBrusk?

Agreed. Those contracts probably won't age well and both will be slightly overpaid, but it's guys they need. If they get 3-4 good years out of both before their play starts to dip im good with it.

I'm assuming Lindholm will probably be around $8Mx6 and Zadorov will be around $6Mx5. #25+Lysell/Merkulov+Beecher for McGroarty + small add. Sign Lomberg or Duhaime for the fourth line.

Zacha-Lindholm-Pastrnak
Marchand-Poitras-Frederic/McGroarty
Frederic/McGroarty-Coyle-Geekie
Duhaime/Lomberg-Kastelic-Brazeau
Lauko

Zadorov-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Lorhei-Peeke
Wotherspoon

Swayman
Korpisalo/Bussi

Swayman

 

[wintersej]

Whats the biggest contract you all would be comfortable giving Stamkos? (If you're even interested)

He and Pasta play the same spot on the PP and Stamkos (like Marchand) is seeing more and more of his value on the PP vs 5 on 5. I really worry about the fit and I am sure Stamkos would, too.
