Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread X

[Dennis Bonvie]

If only the Bruins could acquire an 8 million dollar forward on pace for 12 goals.

Oh wait, they did! His name is Elias Lindholm.

Same pace as Pierre Luc Dubois.

30 teams will regret not pursuing Laine when it's all said and done. I think he's the best pure shooter in the NHL and looking at what ails Boston the most this season (goal-scoring), he would of been a big help here. Even more-so if we factor in Pasta seems like he's playing hurt and it's impacting his one-timers so he's gone more playmaker.

We could use Pastas goal scoring, but his play making has been terrific, and thankfully someone like Geekie, is taking advantage of it.

Washington has had a turnaround year and PLD is 4th on the team in points. He’s been a key contributor to their resurgence.

I just see the teams on ice shooting percentage when he is out there blowing his career norms away and wonder how many of those helpers are sustainable. Paying 8.5 for a 60 point player is meh. Paying 8.5 for a 50 point player would make folks who complain about Coyle’s contract brain explode.

Edit: to put it another way, PLDs on ice shooting percentage at 5 on 5 is about what Lindholm’s was in his crazy year and PLDs career norms aren’t anything special just like Lindholm’s aren’t.

How worried should people be about back issues at his age?

He's a key part, but hasn't been carrying the Rags for that long....
