Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VII

[RedSlider]

I still think a 2nd + Geekie for Rakell base would be a good trade. Geekie is redundant on this team & Rakell is a good scorer who gives the top six some flexibility since he can play both wings. Not crazy about the term given his age but I still see Rakell as a solid target despite that.

I don't do a 2nd, but maybe a 3rd and Geekie. We're doing Pitt a favor taking that contract.

 

[Blowfish]

Merk was a start. Fire coaches and call up Lysell.

This is bad and so frustrating.

 

[BamBamCam]

Start the Rebuild: By moving out the following:
Frederic, Brazeau and Wotherspoon and Marshy if he wants to go to a contender Year 1
Coyle, Geekie and Peeke and Marshy if he wants to go to a contender. Plus make a decision on Swayman before his NMC kicks in Year 2
Hampus, Zadorov and Zacha. Year 3
McAvoy Year 4
Carlo can me moved any time starting in year 1.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Frederic is a -12 on the season. Koepke leads the team at a +10 amazingly. They need to change something with Freddy’s line. Move him up and try and get him going.

Or move him down

Rakell sucks

Yeah I thought Rakell only had 2 years left after this season not 3. I think I'd still do 2nd+Geekie but only if Pittsburgh retained a decent chunk of salary.

 

[BamBamCam]

At least they have some interesting prospects to call up. Right?

That kicks in yr 2026-27

Good game by Freddy....sell high before he takes the next 2 games off....

Freddy is going nowhere but up in the line up

This. Then if they miss Neely needs to fire his buddy and go outside of the organization

At least they have some interesting prospects to call up. Right?

If by interesting you mean mediocre then yes they do

 

[Troublesome 85]

Sweeney has screwed this team with bad drafting

I know you’re only half serious but I am waiting for the “He’s scoring now, we can’t trade him. He’s too valuable to us” crowd. A stark contrast to the “we can’t trade him because he has no value. We need him to get hot first” crowd. They usually come out of the woodwork around TDL time, but this year’s clusterf*** may force early sightings.

I really couldn't give a damn if Freddy stays or goes ..he's not much of a difference maker...not a glue guy either...serviceable sure.. but he's a 3rd line guy ceiling. Just don't overpay if he stays.

Wrong.

 

[BruinDust]

What could they get for Marchand + Frederic + Brazeau in a UFA package with 50% retention for a contending team? Not at the deadline, I mean right freakin' now. That's all 3 players for the remainder of the season + playoffs. All UFAs with no commitment past this season. Get ahead of the market.

Why wait?

 

[PlayMakers]

Honestly, a blow it up rebuild with some fresh faces would be more exciting to watch than what we're getting. We'd still lose, but at least we'd have some interesting kids to watch.

 

[Absurdity]

Bruins are trending towards being sellers. Marchand can stay if he wants to, but the only other UFA the Bruins should consider bringing back is Wotherspoon.

 

[Blowfish]

McMuffin with another goal today.

Yes.

Zegras would be sweet but do we have the assets?

I'd rather sell the guys with term and try and grab the 8 seed. Would love a playoffs with 2 road games to start first round and no expectations. Just clear out the country club and trade one of them. Freddy rental price can't be more than a 4th? Geekie 7th?

You cool with Pasta as captain? I am. It can't be McAvoy Charlie is not up for it. If you know he's getting it eventually moving Brad for someone who helps the team is OK. Can't be the only move.

I don't care who the captain is. Makes no difference to me.

 

[gvkmedia]

I’ve suggested this before - not sure if I got roasted or not - but I would consider trading both Charlie’s (MacAvoy & Coyle) to Vancouver for Pettersson and Myers. 14.6 million in, 14.75 out. So the money works.

It would be a definite shake up hockey trade that could benefit both teams.
