Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread VIII

[CDJ]

Poitras = Caron?
Lysell = Soderberg?

Remember the hype around them and how they played vs the reality when they made it to Boston?

Carl Soderberg was a pretty good hockey player, if Lysell ends up with his career at this point it’s a W

I think there’s a lot of revisionist history with Spooner.

I recall when we traded him he was actually electric on the Bruins. That DeBrusk - Krejci - Spooner line was lighting it up.

I guess my point is that it’s okay to have some very offensively focused players. We can play defense, that part is clear. Let’s get some balanced lines and have people who can put the puck on the net or facilitate that function.

Easiest first step there is at least trying Lysell.

I’m not so sure. They gave him rope because he did have some talent, but they traded him because he never hit Frederic point levels at 5 on 5 and had all the warts. And we can’t pretend he wasn’t out of the league before he was 30. To stay in the league he had to do more than he did. And that was decided after Boston. Shit he even had a shot in run run what is D Edmonton.

taylor hall hat trick last night. based on how NHL trade value works, i guess he's worth 2 first rounders now

still would move a prospect and geekie right now to add hall. even post knee issues he's way more electric than
the geek squad.

Even with his hat trick, Hall's numbers are basically the same as Brazeau. But his cap hit is $6 mil.

And as you say, injuries have really been keeping him off the ice the last few seasons.

He's a pending UFA who cares what his cap hit is were a third of the way through the season.

If anything getting him back could be a shrewd move if he's ready to take a below market deal to play for his Bruins. We trade for him and he resigns for 3 years 2 mil per or something.

Lysell with another goal. Might give that third line a boost.

I still don’t mind the idea of a Geekie for Hall (50%) swap.

Why is Freddy still in the line up?

 

[BlackFrancis]

Casey DeSmith illustrated to both Taylor Hall and (unlikely) Jim Montgomery the value of just shooting the friggin' puck.

DeSmith also DeSucks.

I think the cap cares.
