Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread IV

[The Storm]

My one wish (dream) is that Sweeney somehow figures a way to pull Necas away from the Hurricanes. Then this lineup would be absolute fire!

 

[The don godfather]

Lysell will be in the lineup this year and poitras will put up some decent numbers book it!

Yea that would really help .He is an RFA so no clue what cost would be .Main thing now is get Swayman signed and see what is left to work with so they have an idea what would need to be freed up.A trade for that kid in Winnipeg would work too.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

In 2 of his 3 seasons in Providence he shot 19% and 17%. He has NHL skills, doesn't quite have the mobility, but he is either top 9 or he's not playing. He's as much in the mix as Lysell or Merkulov or anyone else who hasn't quite broken in yet and I think he takes a spot.

He's good in the corners, Plays big in front of the net. He seems to have some good touch and some ability to garbage connect in the crease. I tend to think you are wasting him on the 4th line, where his speed can stand out as a liability.

Hey can you tell Dom, it's not the updated chart. Either wise thank you for sharing and great job by Dom as always!

You actually have to click on it. It is always updated.

Jvr still hasn't signed.

Jvr still hasn't signed.

We need speed. Jvr doesn't need to come back, imo

 

[bruinmann77]

can the bruins even afford anyone else?

 

[vjcsmoke]

Lysell will be in the lineup this year and poitras will put up some decent numbers book it!

I was about to ask, will this be the year Lysell cracks the lineup and makes an impact in the NHL?

He's had a full two seasons to develop with the Providence Bruins. Maybe Debrusk leaving opens up a spot/playing time for him?

Signing Lindholm probably means that the Bruins can be a little bit more patient at center. Poitras might be another year away.

$2M give or take… assuming Swayman at $8M.

So… not really.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Tank or Sprong for low money 1 year would be fantastic if they over played their hands in free agency and have to settle. I like whats been done, no middle of the pack signings

Ok thanks, I didn't know, you do such a great job, it's priceless what you bring here. Very grateful!

$8.6 million with a 22 man roster plus Swayman. Depending on the 22 you have on the roster.

They could use another LD in Providence.

 

[Clode]

Faceoff percentage for our two new centers over their careers:

Lindholm:

-54.5%
-54.3%
-49.3%
-51%
-53%
-55.7%
-56.4%

Kastelic:

-58.3%
-56.9%
-54.4%

Y'all we might actually win at the dot this year

Meh.. let the kids battle for it. If they don’t succeed make a trade mid season/ TDL.

I’d prefer Kessel at 1m over Tarasenko or Sprong for 3m+

 

[Alan Ryan]

Exciting day for us. Swayman still needs to sign but I'm confident they'll get it done.

Looks like Sweeney is making room for one of the kids to win a spot out of camp and he also said Frederic/Geekie have the opportunity to step up.

He wanted the blueline to be the foundation of the team, which is why Zadorov was targeted and signed.

We have an excess of 4th liners with a range of skills but they all have one common trait and that's size. Beecher and Jones can fly. Kastelic can fight and win faceoffs ( Beecher can win faceoffs as well ), Brazeau has size + hands. Veil can fight and doesn't care who goes with him ( fought Chara ). Tufte is 6'6. IMO they're all on a short leash until play dicates who has won a spot so it should be interesting compeition to watch. Veil and Tufte will most likely be AHL fodder/callups, so the 4th will probably be a varity of combinations of Jones/Beecher/Kastelic/Brazeau

I’ve wanted the defense at top standard for a long time. Most pleased to see them go to work now.

I hope he gets his chance

 

[goldenblack]

Do we still need Peeke as much with Zadarov signed?

Might create some money for a wing?

 

[bruinmann77]

any Forward out there for 1 to 1.5 Million? but looking to see Potrias and Lysell and Merku on this team starting in 2024

Planning to play with only 5 defensemen? Do you think regula should be in the top 6? They don't have a serious alternative to Peeke

This is where I think Vrana might fit. He should come here on 1 year deal. Prove that he can get back to where he was 5 years ago. If things went well. He can enter FA market next summer and get his 4-5 year deal

 

[CDJ]

I think Tufte may eventually push for a roster spot, he’s one of those awkwardly big guys that’s been improving the last couple of seasons. Sometimes they develop late.

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.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

Jvr still hasn't signed.

Whatever team signs him probably won’t have seven or eight special nights to honor him the way we did. That was AWESOME!

Hopefully there will be an hour long video tribute at TD if another team actually signs him. I will probably cry seeing him not wearing the spoked B.

Like to know what is being asked to hold it up .
