Does anyone think Beecher is ready for a third line center spot? Him between Freddy and Geekie seems like a pretty solid fit. Could resign Boqvist and have him, Kastelic, Brazeau, and Lauko for the fourth.

DKH, can you explain to me the appeal of Dillon? I see his name time and time again here but having watched him play for years (he's from Surrey) I am wondering where the Dillon talk and appeal started for a 34 year old.
Thanks!

I like the idea of those three being interchangeable on that 3rd line (maybe Geekie takes the middle that night and Beecher the next, etc) but I'm over spending another penny on the bottom six. Keep what we have and see if someone from Providence can win a spot.
I'm not being negative on either and can see that as an appeal as well, but it seems this year that the money really needs to go into scoring given the talents the Bruins have already in the D group.
Probably the loss of Forbert but for me Peeke and Wotherspoon have earned the bottom pairing.

Stay-at-home defenseman with zero upside.
Good luck. Arbitration 2.0 incoming and there are comparable like Sorokin out there.

Really hope so, or west coast. He is a 3rd pairing that maybe squeezes into 2nd pairing in a pinch but he has really been overrated because of his brief stint in Vancouver on a contract year.

He's $775,000 on our cap BUT makes a good $550,000 in the AHL so I'm guessing its to help out in Providence?
Lauko was $787,000 so if Vinni is in Providence then you've saved that amount.

Lots here putting all their eggs in the Lindholm basket. I feel he’s another Coyle. Not a #1. A solid #2C. Nothing in his game jumps out at me. 8m will be an overpay IMO. I’d take that money & make a run at Guentzel. Let Poitras &/ or Merkulov get a shot at center.

Putting Coyle on 3rd line will give this team serious depth lindholm can put 70 points up with pasta with ease I say. Go for it!

lauko feels like a dude who might flourish in minnesota - that team's bottom six feels like a good home for him

Not too impressed with Sweeney’s moves of late. I don’t think you need an AHL player who you want had before and gave away for nothing.
This GM has a real problem when it comes to asset management

Lauko is an NHL player, but with Brazeau, Beecher, Kastelic, Lysell, Merkulov, Poitras, Geekie, Freddy, Boqvist(maybe) all vying for spots in the bottom 6, someone had to go. Geekie and Freddy are 2/3 of the 3rd line, leaving 7 players for line 4 and extra forward.

Sorokin 3 years older - last 3 years 52-65 starts
Sways 31-44
Not a comp to me
Love Sway but he’s not getting 8.25 M
4 at 6 M or 8 at 7.5 M max

What are you basing that on? In 11 seasons he’s scored 70 points once. Bergeron was the last center to score 70+ points centering Pastrnak, and that was once (5 years ago). “With ease”?
Don’t spend big on a center just because. Wait on the right guy. I want to see a hockey trade, and not at the trade deadline.

I have Kuntar in that mix too - particularly the Lauko mold

If Groenewold pans out Lauko is a small price to pay.
Letteri is just a contract spot and veteran depth in Providence.
