Consider having $17.5m left after Swayman.
Marchand 1 year contract of $4.5?

Can’t imagine they keep all of Geekie, Coyle, and Freddy. Granted the cap goes up and you move Korpi.

Are we really that confident in Lysell as the 2R to start the season? Personally, I think that's wishful thinking.

I see him giving us 40-50 games with 10-15 goals and an equal number of assists. And I think I might be a little optimistic with those expectations....And that's not a slam on Lysell. That's just accounting for growing pains in your first season in the NHL.

Is that the production you are OK with out of your 2R?

I don't know if it's wishful or not but with a rookie I think Sweeney and Monty need to have a plan B and C.

It's incredibly wishful thinking. Lysell hasn't played a game in the NHL yet. Even if he's good enough to make the team as 3RW, they have no depth at the position. Right now you have to think they are going with Geekie as 2RW with Marchand-Coyle, and Brazeau is the 3RW with Frederic-Poitras.

While I think Korpisalo will be able to turn it around this year, his $3M cap hit is hurting the team's ability to get some depth at RW. Someone like Daniel Sprong would be a decent add to have on RW to play 2RW or 3RW.

Final touches to the roster is to sign Swayman and somehow trade for McGroarty.

2025 1st + Merkulov + 2026 3rd for McGroarty

Zacha-E. Lindholm-Pastrnak
Marchand-Coyle-Lysell
McGroarty-Poitras-Frederic
Jones-Beecher-Geekie

Zadorov-McAvoy
H. Lindholm-Carlo
Lohrei-Peeke

Swayman
Korpisalo

Pretty deep lineup.

I could get behind a Sprong signing as well. Or Roslovic. Either way, we still need wingers who can score. Between JDB, Heinen and JVR we've lost a decent amount of offense, and slotting in Merkulov and/or Lysell isn't going to cut it.

A guy that’s never been able to crack the lineup and has a reputation for being a me-first kinda guy? You could call it wishful thinking lol

Are the bruins linked to McGroarty or is every team wanting to improve their team in on McGroarty? And the Jets are wanting to maximize the return? Feels like a pipe dream to me.

Doesn't help that Cheveldayoff is one of the most patient GMs in the league. Look how long it took him to move Trouba back in the day.

Coyle is up the following year as a UFA.

Personally, I think Beecher is going to show he is ready to take 3C by the end of the season even if the spot isn’t open. But if he isn't planned/talented enough to be your 3c in 2025-2026 season, you move him and re-sign Geekie. If Beecher doesn’t continue to progress this season, flip him in a deal for McGroarty… I don’t want to invest too much time or money into a 4c.

Frederic is likely to price himself out, considering we need scoring wingers up top I’d like to maximize his return by this years deadline.
If Poitras shows he can be 2c, then with 3C covered by Beecher/Geekie, you can then move Coyle during the 2026 draft for a first+ and re-coup the first you traded with Frederic for a top 6 wing this coming winter/spring. This would get you a higher seed pick than you likely would have had if we keep our 2025 first.

Do we still need Peeke as much with Zadarov signed?

Might create some money for a wing?

They have a top 3 D with a mix of grit, skill and mean. Why mess with it? It is the teams strength don't weaken it.

Lysell's goal totals his first two years worry me but come September there could be someone unsigned that could help or Brazeau steps up

I do not think Swayman should get 8 mil at this time in his career. He does have DS backed into a corner with only Korpisalo as a replacement.

6 mil is what he deserves as far as I am concerned.

I'm hoping he doesn't cost them 9+
