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.

Why carry 22? Maybe for practice purposes? Seems like their hopes of adding at the deadline are a pipe dream with $600k of deadline space.

Well they probably won't always carry 22, but I guess we will see. I assume there will be some paper transactions during the year , especially when they are in the middle of homestands or have long breaks in between games.

But yeah they are not likely to get to a big number at the deadline. Maybe they can get closer to 1.5 million playing cap games, but then again that would likely get offset by injuries along the way

There are bigger issues to worry about that are forth coming and none of it involves hockey!

If Poitras is just on normal IR like that says then we don't get any cap relief from him being there I think, so whenever he's good to go you just activate him and there's your 23 man roster.

That's even worse. I want them to carry 21. Providence is a 45 minute ride away. Bank, bank, bank.

I can’t speak for him, but it isn’t off base to suggest that Korpisalo was acquired as a bit of a reclamation project. Obviously the deal with Ottawa required salary coming back, but if he can help them now as a back up and if he performs well you peddle him for an asset.

I doubt the Bruins want to hold on to a $3 million back up for the next 3 years.

Looking at the overall construction it seems pretty flawed. Not saying it's not going to work, but just a few thoughts...

The forwards are super thin, especially since none of the kids stepped up and Matty P hurt.

The defense seems to be pretty expensive. 30 mil or so. All of the value of having an ELC deal on the 2nd pair is negated by almost 8 million on the 3rd pair.

Goalie wise, it's seems insane to have a 3 mil dollar backup to a guy you just gave 8+ million too but maybe they really thought they could get him under 7. Just odd

Would a guy like Arvidsson at 2 rw and Wotherspoon at 3LD be better than Geekie at 2RW and Z at 3LD?

I'm sure it will all work out as the season goes on, but it really doesn't seem like this was the finished product game one they imagined?

Looks like 8 teams at this point.

There is zero chance the Bruins brought his name up in talks as someone they were interested in.
