Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VI

[Dr Quincy]

If they want to play Beech and he's paper up and down, someone else gets moved down on paper so the roster is cap compliant, right? So someone is getting exposed to waivers based on this roster if that happens?



You see glimpses of it with him, which makes you think it's in there to be tapped into. Maybe it's the blind squirrel finding the occasional nut, though. I also think there might have been more earlier if he had been able to stay healthy (but then Anaheim would probably have re-signed him).

He's 26 years old. He is what he is. If there was any potential it would've been tapped by now.

I need some clarity on this, as I've understood it as you say in Bussi's case. However, we just saw Patera get waived and reclaimed by Vancouver. Clearly Boston did not have to keep him on the roster all season long.

You are allowed to waive a player you claimed. You can't trade him (simple version). The "You have to keep him up..." just means that you "have to keep him up" unless you want to risk losing him to waivers.

But not at all surprised Bussi cleared. What team is going to play him 25 games this year?

Thanks for that, so that's just regular waivers then. For some reason I had the impression that there was some different rule about waivers prior to season start. As for Jones, I guess we'll see. I hope you are wrong, and I have a slim belief that his offensive problems stem in large part from injury and usage and he can find another level to that part of his game here. I don't look for him to turn into a 20-25 goal guy, but a third liner that can do 15 or so? I think it's possible. It would be really helpful if that happened.

Is there any reason Mitchell is still up? I remember him icing the puck more than a bakery ices their cinnamon rolls last year and him overall just handling the puck like a right handed John Moore.

Injury preventing him from being sent down, I believe.
