Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VIII

[Helsinki city boy]

The D is just too expensive, too risky, too slow and meant to play 80's hockey with size and grit. They pay over 25 musd to top-4 d and at the same time Whalers are paying 29 to whole d-core and their D produces what D needs to produce.

Zadorov was a bad signing with that contract. Carlo is wayyyyy out of the game and best stuff with him is the contract. Maybe he should be traded if there is any high value anymore. HLindholm got back to his regular form after one career season. McAvoy is focusing just highlight reel stuff instead of simple plays.

 

[Sevendust]

The roster is flawed and everybody without rose colored glasses could see this. Some guys retired or Sweeney let guys go every year from the top 6 (DeBrusk, Hall, Bergeron, Krejci) and didn´t really replace them with guys with the same skill level expect for Lindholm. The problem is that Lindholm is more of a complimentray player and not a line driver. Everybody knew that besides Sweeney ... The same with Zadarov. Everybody knew that he is third line defenseman who occasionally can play in the top four. Still Sweeney invested heavily in him. The problem is, in a cap world you have to save every penny for the elite talent. Still Sweeney lives in a world where he spends his cap in depth and the playoff record of his teams during his tenure is showing it ...
