Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VIII

[Ozzy Osbourne]

Coyle is winning faceoffs and has 4 goals. He could hit 15-20 goals. Is there a lot of 30+ year old 20 goal players making less than $5? I haven’t checked to be honest. But I feel like his contract really isn’t bad at all. It’s pretty fair. It’s a bargain if he can somehow pull 50 points out of his hat this year. He started horribly slow but has started playing better.

I doubt he scores 50 points. He has one lousy assist all season. He’s just simply awful.

Anyone who thinks it would be a good idea to pair Zadorov and Trouba shouldn’t be calling anything awful.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

We’re going nowhere. Team is majorly screwed. Most here don’t want to admit it

 

[22Brad Park]

not a chance. I’d never move a top four rd for a disinterested 34 year old with 2 years left at 6.5. He has zero assists.

That’s a crazy payment for Trouba and kreider.

Carlo is a lot better than Trouba. And I’m a big fan of Trouba. I love how he crushes people. Trouba is over paid.

Kreider would be worth more if he was younger of only had one year on his contract.

Fredric has way more value than you’re proposing.

Coyle is needed. Unless we are out of the playoffs. Who will play centre if they move him for kreider?

I agree with you except Frederic, unless you are basing his value on last season ,because this season he is an empty uniform to date.

We’re going nowhere. Team is majorly screwed. Most here don’t want to admit it

Just trying to get into playoffs at moment.I would have preferred a tank for a couple seasons to get some high end talent for the future, but here we are.Go Bruins.

 

[22Brad Park]

Just wondering what planet is Carlo better than Trouba? Does Trouba stand around and watch his goalie get peppered?

Trouba is a pylon now.Shocked he is +1 be honest.

We haven't played anyone of significance since the coaching change. I don't believe for a moment that Sweeney would let this team deliberately tank. Now, if we have a rash of injuries that may derail his plans. Also, if we get blown out tonight or on 12/10, or worse by someone else between now and then or a combination, that could trigger some major change(s) to the roster. And we may or may not like the change. We all know the team needs at least one more scoring threat in the top six and at the moment it doesn't look like it's coming from within the organization.

 

[Hookslide]

Trouba is bad apparently- I am probably like you think money aside he’s good but I know Rangers fans that hate him - could be deserved or could be because most fans of a team hate most of their players

I’ve always been fond of him but ….


Hmmm read Johnson earlier

Awful move if they pulled Geekie to keep Johnson in the lineup.

 

[LouJersey]

Peeke is better than Trouba. Basically anyone is. He's just a lost cause at this point. I wouldn't take him for free.

 

[xjoeyc23x]

I hate ARMCHAIR GM is gone. My go to for silly trades. Like this one...

OUT
Frederic - 2.3M
Lohrei - 1M
26 - 2ND
23 - 3RD

IN
Kreider - 2M retained = 4.5M

So silly

Yeah - that’s a silly trade I agree. Especially with the time capsule and the 23 3rd.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

They need to find a guy that put the puck in the net, our main guy is thinking too much and the other guy is too old. We traded the secondary scoring away.

 

[FRyan4426]

Rangers looking to make a move. How about a Frederic for Kakko deal? I know Kakko hasn’t done much but maybe a change of scenery

 

[neelynugs]

this team is almost unwatchable. are they the least skilled team in the entire league?
gotta be close.

 

[Absurdity]

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.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I really don't like this group of players we desperately need to trade one of the vets.

This is what happens when your main strategy is to sign as many low end depth guys as possible and slot them up to positions they’re woefully unqualified for.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Coyle for Hall needs to happen yesterday

 

[Gee Wally]

Coyle for Hall needs to happen yesterday

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

 

[KrejciWinger]

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

Hall's contract expires sooner so it's a win either way.

 

[CellyHard]

I think you retain as much as possible on Coyle to get a 1st round pick...I look at the Predators who have 3 and need a center. If you can flip it with Geekie for Zegras then I'd go with this.

Zacha Zegras Pastrnak
Marchand Lindholm Lysell
Frederic Poitras Brazeau

 

[RoccoF14]

I really don't like this group of players we desperately need to trade one of the vets.

Its still too early, but if we get closer to the deadline and things don't improve, I'd quietly ask around and see what we could get for Marchand. He'd be a great addition for a cup contender looking to win now.

Agreed. It’s practically negligence to not play your young offensive players at this point.

We look good in many areas now, its time to put the puck in the net.
