Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread IV

[Eddie Munson]

Grrrrr Nash trade. Big dumb trade deadline risk. This and Backes dumb. Other than that Don has done well.

I want to but also can’t forget Matt Belesky

 

[DKH]

I’m Monty I’m going with this in camp

Marchand - Lindholm- Lysell

Marchand - Coyle- Lysell seems logical

However with Marchand & Lindholm it allows Lysell to not try and take over a common complaint in Providence

 

[JoeIsAStud]

He’s usually getting his shots in close and isn’t really the kind of guy to fire pucks on net every chance he gets- I could see him being in the mid teens for shooting%

Yeah, offensively I see him a bit like Dakota Joshua who put up 15% then 21.4% the last 2 years shooting percentage. I don't think that is sustainable. but they are big physical players who camp out in front of the net and get maybe some tip ins and garbage collection on rebounds. Those will lead to a higher percentage. Can Brazeau be 10%, 13%, 16%? I don't know but there are reasons his percentage is high

 

[The don godfather]

Kailer yammomoto only 25 has some skill size of a smurf but might pop some goals here. No harm in a PTO? My first choice is alex nylander.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

From what I read Bob worked with Korpi during is brief stint with the Kings.

The best stint of his career so far...

I want to but also can’t forget Matt Belesky

Sometimes trying to bluff a hand with a pair of 7s wins you a pot.
Sometimes it gets you laughed off the table.

Fabian Lysell would look like Justin Brazeau standing next to Yamamoto

Oh no. Not Yammo talk again…I had pushed that deep, deep down into my pit of repression and now it’s coming back.

 

[Fenian24]

The Belesky and Backes signings were Sweeney trying to replace Lucic with analytics. I liked Backes and still do, the Belesky signing was Jose Offerman replacing Mo Vaughn and the GM expecting the same production in replacing Lucic. The numbers said it made sense.

Nash was a risk but a good gamble, losing Lindgren is tough but who cares about Spooner and Belesky, Sweeney had to include the first to get NYR to take Belesky, once again using a first round pick to correct a bad FA signing.

 

[BruinDust]

Oh no. Not Yammo talk again…I had pushed that deep, deep down into my pit of repression and now it’s coming back.

When the discussion is down to who to bring in as a PTO, we are officially into the dog days of the summer from a hockey perspective.

Dog days of summer talk - Nick Robertson wants out of Toronto. 22 years old had a 14 goal season, would you trade Lysell for him.

Marchand - Lindholm- Lysell

I like that top line. I do think though for obvious reasons Lindholm will start the season between Zacha and Pastrnak. If Lysell secures a top 6 spot, I can definitely see that top line and Poitras skating between Zacha and Pastrnak by the end of the season.

 

[GordonHowe]

Bruins plan on giving Joonas Korpisalo a fresh start, but roster spot far from a lock

The Bruins believe that Joonas Korpisao has more to give in Boston, but a roster spot is also far from a lock in 2024-25.

No because he's a LW. The Bruins need more natural RW.

 

[ODAAT]

if he goes unsigned, maybe a camp invite to Nylander`s brother Alex/Andy, can`t recall his name, played a bit with Pitt last year then caught fire on a crap team in Columbus, RW? Only mentioning this as a backup plan if Lysell can`t seize the spot

It was indeed.

I'll be honest, I think I'm in the very very very small minority that doesn't hate the addition of Korpisalo. Ullmark had that magical season during the B's historic run. If you look at the season before and season after, he was around a 2.50 GAA / .915 SV% (combined those two seasons). With the team he'll have in front of him + goalie Bob working with him + no pressure to be the guy, I think Korpisalo is capable of giving us that same 2.50 GAA / .915 SV% that Ullmark did.

 

[TobanWest]

He's not going to shoot 16% over 82 games. The guys who did that last year have names like Hintz and Kaprizov.

Don't disagree but also not going to cut him short on this. Nobody knows and everyone assumes. That's all. IMO he will be around 15-20

I'm just hoping I live long enough to see

Freddy-Letourneau-Brazeau

The legion of Emergency Room. The line where Freddy is just a tiny little baby man.

I’d try and kick tires. I wouldn’t trade away a top prospect. Why not try and offer some picks instead?

Pastrnak is friends with William, I could see him being acquainted with Alex. Definitely had an intriguing close to the season with the jackets

[I am Bettman]

Best case scenario is that Bussi beats Korpisalo for a spot and Korpisalo is waived. Since goalie coach wants t work with him though, I think Bussi will have to be incredible to win the spot.

Sounds like Bruins FO like Korpi

Why is this the best case?

 

[sarge88]

Why is this the best case?

Not sure what happens when a player gets waived, but maybe more cap money is the positive.

 

[I am Bettman]

Why is this the best case?

Slightly more cap space, Korpisalo can be brought up and down without worrying if he’s going to be claimed because of his contract.
