Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread III

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Trade Carlo for best forward (or center prospect) +2nd.
Go out and trade for John Marino to help fill in he Carlo gap?

Not sure it’s worth it. I’d be curious to see what Carlo is really worth though.

It’s not worth it

I just don’t understand the is not good stuff.

I’m not saying he’s Ray Bourque but he’s got a little of everything in his game.

Hits to hurt
Fights/protects teammates
Kills penalties
Blocks shots
Can shoot/score

Is he as good as Carlo defensively?
No

As good all around as McAvoy?
No

But he’s better offensively than Carlo
Tougher than Carlo

Better all around than Peake and Wotherspoon.

He’s definitely good enough to make this team better because he’s good at the things they need.

And I’m not saying 6.5+ for a salary but in the 5’s or low 6’s he’s fine

So wit my that resume why isn’t Vancouver signing him?

I have tried biting my tongue but now hearing names that are actually hitting the open market and don’t get me wrong I thought a lot would be locked up by now Stammer, Zadorov etc the list seems to keep going this makes me more frustrated about Korpisalo money heck I even believe he’ll turn it around here but why bother spending this money here Swayman is the guy let Bussi hold backup or another cheaper option if he fails..

That 3 mill could be used to fill an actual need …

John Marino? Really?

 

[Tommy Tubs]

Sign Stamkos. Next year sign Draisaitl.

I'd talk about what I think about that potential PP, but it would get censored for being dirty.

 

[Thirty Seven]

I think this off season will be disappointing for some lol

I think this off season will be disappointing for some lol

We can all dream, but I think we all know Sweeney will ruin it.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

would he be ready now for prime time or need AHL time? Never heard of the kid until the last week or so

He wants NHL time so the decision might me moot.

 

[Hookslide]

It's not that he can't make it in Winnipeg, he doesn't even have a contract with them

My intention was not to just zero in McG

I mostly agree. Lindholm is definitely going to get a contract that will age poorly. And if I were running the team I too would go after more scoring wingers instead of throwing a ton of money at an ok center. I think Zacha and Coyle are a fine top 2 combo. Not great but with great wingers they suffice. But there's also a part of me that's accepted the team will almost certainly be going in on Lindholm and with how appealing of a situation it would be for him I feel like there's a super high probability he ends up here. Feel like I'm braced for the inevitable but wo know what'll actually happen.

I know the consensus is they need a # 1 center that's fine, but Lindholm is not # 1 and you going to throw money at him just to say you have a #1 center absolutely crazy, Zacka and Coyle might be # 1s but they are dam good hockey players, and you are right get some solid Wings and wait for that #1 be sure he is the right one .

[Hookslide]

Dreaming of Drai.....
Sorta expecting Lindholm.....
Gonna end up with Kadri..... (called this like 50 pages ago)

Man you ended your post like a Debby Downer.

 

[pizzafrylover420]

John Marino? Really?

Carlo for good prospect (rutger level, though preferably a center) and a 2/3rd pick



Is the downgrade from Carlo to a Marino type worth adding a young center and a 2nd or 3rd pick? Depends on the young player I guess.



I wonder what Carlo’s value is, I do like him a lot as a player and know he is very valuable to the team but still curious to know what we could get for him.

 

[SPV]

With the bottom six set, go hard on Lindholm and Bertuzzi for line two . If Bert isn’t available, maybe take a flyer on Mantha, I think he’d be pretty good with Marchand and Coyle.

And I’m still wanting Edmundson for the defense

 

[Blowfish]

kadri domi Bertuzzi and bunting. "How do you like them Maple Leaves"?

 

[Hookslide]

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.

especially if you need to move Carlo, who is 4 4 years younger

 

[Hookslide]

Yeah I think he turned down 4.5 from Vancouver, right? Guessing he wants closer to 6 which I agree is steep for a guy that I admittedly would love to have.

6 is way out of line for him, would be a nice addition, but ........

 

[Carl Hungus]

I watched Mantha on Vegas and he wasn't really doing it for me. Seemed fairly unengaged

Thats been the assessment of every fan that has cheered for him in Det and WA, too.

 

[KrugAvoy]

Just the name Rutger McGroarty screams Badass Boston Irishman. He comes here 25 years from now they'll be a bar called McGroarty's Pub on Causeway

 

[Carl Hungus]

That being said he beat up Nick Cousins a few months ago so that alone might be worth it

I wish I could argue.

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

Cmon, go get Stamkos Donny boy!

 

[Guelph Bruin]

I have no idea what is going to happen tonight or next week but I look forward to having new hope for 2024-2025... I'm confident good players want to play for the Bruins organization, particularly a good centre wants to play with Pasta.

 

[Over the volcano]

Stamkos would be a thing of dreams. Talk about perfect fit of need and player.

 

[The don godfather]

Matt duschene would look good as a bruin . The guy can produce.

I get what they're trying to do ? Keep him around as long as he's productive , buy him out when he isn't. or hope he retires which he's very likely to do . I would be insulted if I was Stammer.
