Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread IX
- Thread starter Gee Wally
- Start date
Bring in a new coach from the outside that changes it up
If I knew how to fix it I wouldn't be doing what I do now, but anyone can see changes in coaching and strategy need to be changed

Actually, as you pointed out for us, it's the 2,793,833 million dollar question!
What would the strategy be not to put him on LTIR? I thought they could bank it and go over the cap by how much time he's out.Hows that?

Lindholm is not on LTIR.
And LTIR is not free money.
Coyle is someone they should look to move either way, if you can include in a deal with NYR great, if not trade him for picks or whatever.

If Coyle disappeared right now would anyone notice?
He has picked up his play under Sacco, I will give him that, but if we can trade him and get better player for his spot somehow that would be huge.

He's got 4 shots on goal in the 5 games since Sacco took over. Always shown flashes of being a horse but too often plays like a cow. Needs to be better for this club.

As the biggest Kastelic homer here, I think he's a lehit top 9 forward. How does that change the roster going forward? Well, it means all of our forward toughness isn't on the 4th line, for one.
Frederic- Coyle -Kastelic
Is the biggest 3rd line in the league and MK can hopefully drag Freddy into the fight.
Kastelic is our best faceoff guy, so more draws would be good too.

That line was the best line of that period. Great to see

Love it. It's frustrating when folks pigeon hole guys as "no more than..." before he gets a chance to show if he actually can be more than.
Great to see a guy seize the opportunity when promoted. Let's hope it keeps going.

Freddy wanted nothing to do with WiFi but Kastelic wanted that fight bad.

Man preds dumped tomasino and fabbro into the trash . Both young talent. Very perplexing.
I was hopeful Johnson could add something but it’s time to end that experiment. If Lysell only has to play as well as or hopefully better than Johnson or McLaughlin then the bar is set pretty low .

I have struggled to watch this team play a full game this year, which has been a rarity since I've been following them religiously for over 35 years. They lack identity, they lack excitement, and just when you think they're going to turn the corner, they have two stinkers in a row.
I look at their line up or more importantly, their lines and putting the homer hat away, why would we expect anything different.
1. Pasta is the only real 1st liner on this team and he's playing awful so far.
2. Marchy, Zacha, and Lindholm are 2nd liners and really only Marchy has played like it and even he has been dreadful in 30% of the games.
3. Coyle, Geekie, Frederic have all been terrible. No other words to describe it. They were supposed to be key contributors to the middle 6.
4. Poitras who had high hopes to make an impact in the middle 6 is now riding buses in Providence because he looks like a boy among men most nights.
5. Brazeau should be getting minutes on the 4th line but is getting top 6 minutes because, well, who else do you put up there?
6. The only bright spot has been Kastelic, Beecher, and Koepke. They've been solid when together but even Beecher and Koepke have trailed off.
7. Johnson sucks......shouldn't even be playing.
I'm not going to talk about the defense, I have zero fears that they'll figure it out and already have been playing better under Sacco. But Swayman- its tough to like the guy who wanted to break the bank and look at what he's done? Sub .900 save percentage, GA over 3.00. Losing record. Korp has outplayed him.
This team needs a shot of life into the top 6. It can't be a center either. For better or worse, we need to role with Zacha and Lindholm as 1-2C.
Marchy-Zacha-Pasta- Load up the top line, Pasta and Marchy will get it going
XXXX-Lindholm-XXXX
Freddy-Coyle-Kastelic- solid shutdown line, I think the offence will come as well
Beecher-Geekie-Koepke
Brazeau/Johnson
One of the wings on that 2nd line has to be Poitras or Lysell. We're effed if it isn't. The other needs to be part of the package bringing in a scoring winger. I'll all in trying to acquire Kreider. Big, fast, can score, and it sounds like he wants to be here.
I'd offer Geekie +Lysell +2025 1st for Kreider 25% retained

I would have liked to have Fabbro on our team.
He is a dependable two way defenceman / was a plus 9 last year.
You make a good point but Geekie did produce 17G and 39Pts last year. I can't blame them for at least giving him a look in the top 6. I think they will keep Geekie with 18\88
for at least the next three games.
Guy is at least finding his goal scoring ability. He is projecting out at a 22G clip now on a goal starved team. Coyle's start was beyond brutal, but last two weeks his play has been trending towards a decent 3C. Put Koepke and Kastelic with him the next 3 games and see what you get.
