Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread IV

[GordonHowe]

I really think his issue is that he over thinks things and doesn't play instinctively...
Especially when behind, tries to make a tricky play, which usually leads to a turnover
Needs to settle down and let the game happen and just react and play naturally

Again, Zadorov should be of significant assistance relative to these issues.

So if coming in the top 5 doesn’t make you a serious contender does that mean the bruins haven’t been serious cup contenders since 2018 since they haven’t finished in the top 3 of the league?

Terrible comparison. He wasnt a serious contender by the numbers. This is why the level of discourse is in the gutter. Just a disingenuous post. Nothing to do with standings or team records.

 

[PaulD]

Hey you want to take Dougie Hamilton over McAvoy have at it.

close call.
neither have impressed me at play off time.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Roster/cap thread shouldn't be derailed by trashing our 1D who isn't going anywhere. But it is July so I guess that makes sense

Top 5 is a serious contender in my book.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Top 5 is a serious contender in my book.

18% of a vote is not a serious contender, but I expect you already know that.

I agree.
Lets get back to topic and get off the Mac merry go round.

I would say most hockey people would consider your post dumber than mine.

I watch more than a few Rangers games each season. Living in Connecticut its easy to see lots of the games and coverage of the team.

Adam Fox has played 5 NHL seasons. He's finished 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th in Norris voting in the last 4. Compare that to McAvoy's one 4th and one 5th place finish.

Over his career, Fox has 308 takeaways, 262 giveaways. Soft, one-dimensional offensive defensemen don't have more takeaways than giveaways. McAvoy, on the other hand, has only 194 takeaways and 377 giveaways. So, to summarize, Charlie takes the puck away from opponents far less and gives it away far more than Fox. And in the playoffs the numbers tell the same story.

As far as Charlie's not being a top 25 last season, that's what the numbers showed.

Im sure the stat guys at Madison are pumping up those numbers, he's probable Leeds the team in hits as well.

Charlie kills plays at the blue line fyi,

You can have Fox I will keep Charlie thank you very much.

End of story

Over rated is what he is.
Top six Dman? Just not so.

Just curious who is picking the USA team for the nation tournament ? He must be related to Charlie

One has nothing to do with other.

Besides, they came within a single game of winning the Cup in 2019, no?

I would hope he is a top 8 American Dman. 9.5 a year?
But he aint a top 10 D all World Dman.

Well yea the 2018-2019 season is what I was implying.

Just interesting how a top 5 defender out of 200 isn’t considered a contender for top defenseman of the year but I would guarantee you would say the bruins being no better than 7th best out of 32 teams the past few years in a cup run is a contender for the cup

The Washington Capitals bought CapFriendly. Seriously.

Caps announce agreement to buy CapFriendly site

The Washington Capitals reached a deal to buy CapFriendly, a popular site that has long been a source of NHL salary information and will soon no longer be available to other teams or fans.

End of story

Both phenomenal dmen who will probably alternate on who is "better" every year.

 

[Ratty]

Time for someone to open a new website with all the information Capfriendly has access to so we can all enjoy the data it provides.

That site already exsist. Its call puckpedia

https://capwages.com/ seems like a clone to the point of "I wonder how much they just stole by scraping". One to keep an eye on at least.

This is the best lineup I’ve seen so far. The only issue is Brazzeau couldn’t crack the AHL as a regular, but he’s now on line 2? I’m hopeful, but I’m afraid we are suddenly going to say “ Oh, that’s why he was where he was.” I liked what he brought last year and hope he builds from there.

I would give Brazeau a shot there before Lysell. If Lysell has a great preseason and Brazeau struggles you move Brazeau to the third or fourth line.
