Trade Coyle Carlo and Fred all for picks only and still make the playoffs. Addition by subtraction.

Seems easy and obvious with no possible downside. Don’t know why Sweeney hasn’t done this yet.

 

[Blowfish]

Garlund with 2 more.

 

[Coach Parker]

JT Miller.

 

[Absurdity]

JT Miller.

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Garlund with 2 more.

He’s too short to play hockey or something idk

This is a mirage, pay no attention to the PPG winger from Scituate behind the green curtain

 

[Gordoff]

Now all we need is the return of Dave Lewis:

"

Dale Arnold returning to NESN in interim role"​

MSN

 

[Gordoff]

Remember when we could've had OEL and Garland for a small return?

Bruins Leaning Into New Identity With Defensive Structure

It was a tough start to the season for the Boston Bruins. For a team that has a goal of winning the Stanley Cup, the performance on the ice was not up to their standards.

Why can't Sweeney just trade one of these vets that is all I ask.

Is it time to demote Lindholm? Go back to Marchand-Coyle and try Frederic-Lindholm?

 

[The don godfather]

Marchy lindholm pasta. Go home or go broke.

They have to get Pasta going or they have no chance. The only realistic way to do that now I think is to put Marchand on LW with Zacha and Pasta. IMO Zacha is their most talented center offensively paired with their two best LW and RWers. Get at least one line going hopefully. Settle on who your 4 centers are (I'd pick Zacha-Lindholm-Coyle-Geekie), and keep the other guys on their natural wing.

Marchand - Zacha - Pasta (Top scoring line)

Frederic - Lindholm - Brazeau (2nd scoring line)

Beecher - Coyle - Kastelic (shut down line)

Koepke - Geekie - Johnson (the 4th line, sheltered match-ups)

They don't have the depth to run 3 or 4 lines consistently. Maybe get Zacha off the PK and save him for EV and PP, maybe Marchand too, let the lower line guys kill PKs, your entire 3rd line can kill penalties, and others besides (Frederic, Lindholm).

That may be the way we have to go, but I want to give Lysell a shot before we abandon the middle6...

Geekie-Zacha-Pastrnak (upgrade Geekie asap)
Marchy-Coyle-Brazeau (Small sample but 92.9 xGF%)
Fred-Lindholm-Lysell (Swedish connection)
