Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VIII

[wintersej]

Easiest thing for Sweeney to do is call up Poitras and/or Lysell to inject some speed and offense into the top 6. Huge X to Sweeney and Montgomery for not giving these two players extended looks during training camp and the season. Even if they fail, they would at least then know what they may need to trade for. It's easier to give these two young players a shot than it is to trade for a magician that can distribute the puck to guys skating in quicksand or a pure goalscorer.

Honestly, I don’t hate they kept them away from the tire fire. Once McLaughlin proves he ain’t it, I’d love to see one of them up.

Just one anchor for another. Hall has been entirely different guy after last years knee reconstruction.

Yeah, I was at the Minnesota game in Chicago and Hall is cooked.

I think the most realistic move they could make before the deadline would be Frank Vatrano.

Not too expensive, cap wise. Hasn't been scoring a ton so shouldn't be too costly to acquire.

Empty seats and apathy incoming. If this team waits til the trade deadline to add Vatrano and that is the add, it's better to go full rebuild. This team cannot score and isn't entertaining at all as a product.

What's sad is that I think this team is actually built more soundly for the playoffs than last years team; the problem is that they aren't skilled enough to get into the playoffs.

People really overrate Lysell. I’ll be surprised if he’s an NHL regular in 5 years and not playing in Europe. He’s got no business being in a bottom 6 role and no brains for the top 6.
