Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread III

[Beyonder]

Great day if you are Merkulov or Lysell

You are not only getting a chance they need you

Silver lining

Especially because if they spend big $$$$ on free agents they will need some cheap contracts to round out the roster with something better than bottom 6 filler. Hope those guys are up to it and get a solid 20 games with a regular shift to show it, assuming they earn a shot coming out of training camp.

So we’re taking one report from Seravelli - which isn’t really all that negative, and who never has inside Bruins info - and running with it eh?

The Bruins broke up a legit tandem.
One was shopped for over a year.
The Bruins have known about Swayman's likely price for a while, yet haven't agreed to terms.
They trade away their other guy, for another NHL goalie who's AAV is only 2m less, but has four years of term.
And we're still waiting on Swayman to agree.........which has bled into free agency.

And on top of that, I don't see the Bruins carrying 10m+ in goalies, when they need 1C, 2C, 2W, 2/3D etc.
I think things are going to get really interesting fast tomorrow, as the cap room dries up.

 

[nasero]

I get Swayman is an RFA, but the fact we traded Ullmark for that terrible return without having Swayman locked up and might be going to arbitration again is insane.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

That's a fireable offense for anyone top to bottom in management if they somehow lose Swayman too

So would paying Sway 8.5

So we know all that. You’re saying they won’t commit $10M to goalies. So your contention is once they got Korpisalo, it shows that they’re going to trade Swayman?

I think the Bruins have a total $$$ allocated for goalies and Korpi will get 3m of that space.
The ball is in Swayman's court.

 

[DKH]

I’m guessing Bruins want to pay Swayman 7x8

korpisalo is Halak role

10 M room

55/27 breakdown

 

[McGarnagle]

Remember when Vancouver had both a proven Vezina winner in Luongo and an extremely promising young prospect ready to take over in Schneider under contact and somehow they mismanaged the situation so badly that they lost both and turned into the drizzling shits for a few years with Eddie Lack starting?

I'm just saying

That was awesome

 

[ranold26]

Oh and starting tomorrow, this is a possibility.
Not saying it will happen..... but there is one club that would concern me....
You guys/gals can figure it out.

 

[PlayMakers]

Dumb not qualifying Boqvist

One of fastest guys on team

So they wanted to get faster and let go Boqvist & DeBrusk

Yeh ok makes sense

When he said the fast comment I thought he was f***ing with people. Like he said to Cam, "What should we tell them this year? Let's tell them some nonsense and watch them get all spun up about it, hahaha."

I think we are overstated the lose of Boqvist just a tad

That would be hilarious but Sway will be signed

As I mention a few days ago, Freddy or Coyle could be trade candidates depending on their plan to maybe open up more space to accomplish what they are try to do.

 

[UConn126]

I agree. I would clean house if they can't lock in their franchise goalie after they traded away their other option. Would be one of the biggest blunders in franchise history.

That’s the way to do it. These guys deserve the chance. Do it now live through a bit of pain and let them grow. Playoffs showed we needed guys with more offence. My issue isnt always how much a guy hits its if he’s ok to take a hit and will go to the dirty areas to get a puck. Pasta a great example although he likes to hit.

The silver lining is Merkulov & Lysell are getting legit make the team shots and I’m all for it

Bussi getting claimed is a concern but Bruins think Korpi will be very good behind Bruins D and system in 1/3 games

 

[IveGotToBeMe]

1 - Ullmark held all the cards and dictated his destination which handcuffed the return
2 - Boqvist is very replaceable and his speed did not translate into numbers that can't be replaced
3 - JDB doesn't want to be here at the current rate being offered and will be overpaid by someone
4 - Swayman will be signed
5 - Let's allow the next couple days to play out before we bury the front office
6 - Never giving up on this team like a number of posters here did the last two offseasons

Hopefully they move him before camp starts (Bussi)

You shut up

You shut up

wow, that was harsh

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Interesting strategy being floated here where Sweeney purposely took on an overpaid underperforming cap dump of a goalie signed for 4 more years just to then turn around and use that moronic acquisition to pressure Swayman on his AAV demands.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Is there any allowance for the possibility that Swayman’s camp is being way too aggressive in their demands? Like what if they’re demanding 8x$9.5? Or is the only allowance that Sweeney is screwing this up

If this is the case, I don’t get moving Ullmark when they did for what they did

Well, maybe they weren’t worrying about having it done on June 30 and are confident in how a negotiation will play out over time, especially since they have control?

 

[Troublesome 85]

Idk how much faith I have in Sweeney especially since lots of teams now have space with the cap going up

Theres a few players I hope this team jumps on

Lindholm aint one

 

[PlayMakers]

Any interesting non-qualified players out there? Who's the next Geekie?

 

[bruinmann77]

I asked before that question too. If somehow Sway does not remain a Bruin DS will need to get Fired
