Rangers probably didn't want him with an East Coast team just incase.

Yeah that’s the issue I foresee with trading with the Rags and Sabres.
Really want in on the Sabres fire sale.

He has most of his value at Pasta’s spot on the PP. don’t see the fit.

Youve got to think Drury is being fired after the season. We have our complaints with Sweeney but man, Drury is pretty bad. Wonder if Kakko can finally come to fruition w/ Beniers and Wright. Woulda looked good with the Bs.

He’ll get an opportunity in Seattle for sure. I think he’s a 50-60 point player when the dust settles. Good move for the Kraken.

If they are going to fire him after two conference finals in three seasons then why does Sweeney still have a job after ten years?
Seems like it is same type of story with the Bruins where the players run the asylum, only with the Bruins it's coaches being let go.

The Wahlstrom addition gives the team some options for line construction, with a number of the forwards playing pretty well lately.
The top 6 has Zacha, Pastrnak, Marchand, E. Lindholm, Geekie, Coyle, Brazeau and Wahlstrom to choose from.
I don’t expect Johnson will be playing but they have the following options for the bottom 6. They include the two not selected for the top 6 plus Frederic, Kastelic, Koepke, Beecher and McLaughlin.
That's 12 forwards and a spare. Assuming no call ups from Providence how would you construct the lines?

Sabre’s have a whole lot of good young players I’d love the Bruins to be in on, but I don’t think any of them are in the position to pull a Taylor Hall unfortunately.

I turned the corner on Brazeau for a few weeks there but as the team has started to play with more pace he is looking slow again.
I’d be curious about keeping Coyle at that RW spot for a stretch. He has been…inconsistent at best…at driving play up the middle and they looked good last night.

Beecher Kastelic Koepke
I know you said no callups, but man…the center spot sure has Poitras name on it.

I like it, and the whomever would be koepke those three were the Bruins best line in the early going. IMO they never should of been separated

Agreed, line 2 looked good with Coyle there, worth another look. Geekie is playing well lately too. He's got 5 goals and 8 points in his last 10 games. He's on pace for 18 goals now. I'd leave him on the top line until we see a drop.
Sticking with the guys we have, I'd probably go...
Geekie Zacha Pastrnak
Marchand Lindholm Coyle
Brazeau Frederic Wahlstrom
Koepke Kastelic McLaughlin
Beecher hasn't scored a goal in 27 games (and has 2 assists in that span). I'd sit him (to light a fire) and keep McLaughlin in the lineup for now.

I think they need to try Coyle on RW a little bit longer. It also opens up a spot for Poitras. And to be honest, I might be in the minority on this but I'm benching Koepke...he started off the year really good but he's been invisible most nights. Take away that empty netter he got a couple weeks back and he hasn't really done much since his early season heater. Beecher with the 8/8 on draws last night, he isn't coming out IMO.
Geekie Zacha Pastrnak
Marchand Lindholm Coyle
Frederic Poitras Wahlstrom
Beecher Kastelic McLaughlin
Braz subbing in on the bottom six RW spots
That third line has your forechecker, playmaker, sniper combo that could be really interesting
