Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread IV

[sarge88]

So is here to help Pasta or Pasta is out there to revie his career.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

Both things will happen.

 

[DKH]

Bruins are weak on the wing ,there is no getting away from that entering camp.They need one of those kids to step up..

Not sure how Lysell struggles though

He’s a playmaker on the wing who’s very creative and skilled

99 % of Bruins followers have not seen him and jumping on opinions

maybe he does pull the wings off of flies and not return his shopping cart to designated areas but on the ice he’s making positive shit happen

I’ll be very surprised if he fails

This year though, Dan?

I'm as high on Lysell as anyone. But he's one year behind where I thought his breakout year in the AHL would be.

I hope this is the season he breaks into the NHL as a contributor. But I'm not sure he's ready to count on in such a critical role as of right now

 

[Blowfish]

Merk and Poitras will be a battle for 3rd line center. Going to be interesting to watch!

He’s so talented he should be able to put up DeBrusk points

Just weird to say he’s a year behind. He turned 21 halfway through the season. Hes outperformed virtually everyone his age in the AHL.

Only 3 guys drafted after him have played a half a season in the NHL. Hes on schedule.

I'm putting all my chips in on Poitras and I don't even gamble.

 

[LouJersey]

Decent deal for Vancouver I know he’s pretty bad defensively but is there something going on with him that he only got 975k?

guessing he may play a bit top 6. Rutherford has always liked him.

 

[Blowfish]

Merk a one timer machine...

 

[BlackFrancis]

Doesn't even really need to. He fixes two giant problems the Bruins had last season - transition through the neutral zone and offensive zone entries. Hell, he could do that shit in the SHL when he was 17.

As long as he isn't turning the puck over at the blue line like a jackass, he's good to go in my view.

Do you remember the western Canada poster who told us Lysell actually sucks, but if we want to see a real prospect on the Giants, check out Justin Sourdiff?

This place, I swear.

I do. I also remember the poster who wants to trade him for Tyler Boucher.

Only 11 players from the 2021 draft are 'established' NHL players, (more than 14 points or 37 NHL games). So I'm not really sure where people think he should be right now. Maybe expectations are off because he started in the AHL a year early.

I said he's a year behind where I thought he would be. Not a year behind.

Furthermore: I'm not one of the ones predicting he comes in and threatens 20 goals in a second line role this year. It's not MY expectations that are out of f***ing whack. I'm the one stressing patience and "wait until he proves he's better than the AHL".

Christ f***ing almighty.

That's part of it.

I thought we'd see a big jump from year one in the AHL to year two. I think we likely saw some improvement. But not where I had him predicted.

 

[Fenian24]

I think that DeBrusk, Ullmark, Wotherspoon for Lindholm, Korpisalo, Zadorov is at least a push in the regular season and an upgrade come playoffs when you take the goalies out of it.

But what will decide the season is Poitras, Lysell, Lorhei vs Heinen, JVR, Gryz. And for that…who knows.

Well I have a lot more confidence in Poitras and Lorhei being upgrades over Heinen and Grizz. The JVR/Lysell I am not to sure about but think Brazeau may be as productive as JVR was. If not they can make a deal st the deadline to upgrade the JVR spot.

Don't forget the upgrade in Kastelic over Brown/Lucic/Boqvist. They should have a stable fourth line with Beecher/Kastelic/Jones for most of the season

No Poitras will be on the Bruins, not sure who Merkulov will be fighting for 3C in Providence.

I forget when he got his bell rung, and I can't remember if it happened twice. I'll still point at injuries sustained by AHL goonery.

Don't think he actually got hurt last season when that dude jumped him, but if someone disproves the above, I'll shift my goalposts and pretend he did.

I feel like de-storying is somehow a magnitude beyond destroying.

I am more on the negative side of Lysell, now I was not always of that opinion of him I, truly thought we had something with him, and your time of him being a year behind might be true, but I say give this kid a legit look and see if he can help this team this year, if he can great if not time to move on and have another plan.

I'm putting all my chips in on Poitras and I don't even gamble.

I would put my chips on Poitras also, but to be honest I, am not sure about him at this time also.

 

[bruins cup]

Ya I guess I’m just nervous come playoff time. I don’t think we did much to answer the issue of getting pinned in our own end for what felt like ages at a time.

Have faith despite being outplayed by panthers
Had there been interference on coyle in game 4 the series goes 7 and who knows what wouldve happen. Bruins are close

 

[Hookslide]

I thought he was here to help the Bruins.

I was responding to off the chart numbers being thrown out there that he has only been able to achieve when he had Gaudreu and Thachuk on his line.

I don’t disagree, although Heinen obviously had a good regular season no matter folks opinions on his first time thru the Boston organization. JVR was pretty cooked in the second half, so optimistic there, too. But still a little scared there isn’t enough speed/skill in the forward group to get it into the offensive zone for the big guys to get to work. You saw it in the Florida series when they did get possession in deep how good they were, but too often they had to dump and chase and not get to the puck fast enough, which is just a glorified turnover. Really hopeful that Lysell can bring some more ability to carry the puck into the offensive zone with control, but who knows.
