Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread X

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Borgen's a right shot defenseman.

He can replace Trouba.

By that rationale, so can any other RH defenseman.

Correct.

Sacco needs to play Wahlstrom with Marchand and Lindholm to see if there's anything there. He played less than 10 minutes tonight, but he saw the ice really well and was involved in plays on both sides of the ice.

Sweeney should move on from Frederic, Coyle, and Brazeau. If a team makes a really good offer for Geekie, the Bruins should think about moving him, but he would be best utilized at #3RW once the other three are dealt.

Bruins are not selling that I would bet my home on.Freddy could be moved because UFA to be .That said Bruins have shown in past they will keep a player in that situation if they smell playoffs.They need help in top 6 though for sure. One more guy that can score .Is Walstrom that guy ,I dunno.Myself I would be open to another addition if Dinny can make it work.

The Bruins may see it that way, but I don't see trading 3rd liners as selling. The Bruins have three players in Providence ready to play in the NHL. If Wahlstrom works in the top 6, the Bruins can use Frederic+ to get that top 6 player. Geekie moves to the 3rd line and has shown he can play all three positions.

Bruins probably don't see these guys in AHL as playoff ready.Maybe Potsy but he is a centre and Coyle Zacha Lindholm not going anywhere.I don't like Potsy on the wing myself but maybe there I guess .If Walstrom works in top 6 it solves the issue but Bruins would be deeper him lower and adding outside help.Anyhow you may be right I am just voicing my side is all.

Bruins Look to Terminate Contract of Veteran Forward

The Boston Bruins felt some heat to start the 2024-25 season, but after firing their head coach, they appear to have settled things down. With a 17-13-3 record,

On the main board, our Ducks guy (pokes in here to talk about former or current Ducks players, nice dude) mentioned that McTavish might be a guy who could benefit from a change of scenery.

That would be my number one want. I doubt he’s on the market but if we could throw all of our assets at that guy I’d be very happy.

Again I think the guys to pick up are young disgruntled centers from underperforming teams.

Think people like Reinhart or Eichel in the past and McTavish, Zegras, or Cozens right now.

Too lazy to look it up. Is he related to Craig McTavish?
