Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread X

[Kegs]

Did he? I can't find a confirmed trade anywhere

U might be right. I thought they moved him for Josh Manson and miles woods. But now that I’m looking I can’t find it

 

[Absurdity]

Osterle has definitely won the job over Wotherspoon. It might be a good idea to give Wotherspoon a few games and see if you can find a taker for him. Wotherspoon is a decent defenseman but having him sit must be difficult.

I like Wotherspoon. In my opinion, he's Ference-lite. The issue with him is that it seems like he has to string a few consecutive games in order to get in a groove.

I think you have to keep both of them on the roster. I wouldn’t wanna risk losing one to waivers when we all know you need multiple spares in the playoffs.

Agreed, however, the Bruins would be at the roster limit (McLaughlin currently not on the roster probably for banking cap space but assuming he will be the 13th forward). Depending on who the Bruins view their 12/13 forwards are, it could affect future moves/call-ups.

id trade him for carlo straight up.

Who replaces Carlo?

That was just a proposal on the trades/free agency board.

lindolm.
and carlo is easily replaceable this year.

When Lindholm comes back, what does everyone think the Bruins do with Osterle and Wotherspoon? Do one of them get waived or traded?

I really like the way Osterle has played and with the off-season addition of Zadarov the continued growth of Lohrei. I’d see what’s out there in a deal for Lindholm, in an attempt to improve the offense.

The Bruins as a whole are a lot deeper on the left side. Carlo worries me though do to all his concussions and the way he still seems to expose himself to big hits. So if the return was right I’d move him as well and tell Lindholm your moving to the right side.

Of course all this depends on what’s out, there and the cost. I see Sweeney dealing picks and prospects before any top roster guys.Lysell,Poitras Merkulov. One of those guys will be elsewhere come deadline day or before imo.

 

[GordonHowe]

If Poitras can get you a nice return, then it should be done, Carlo should only be moved for a overpayment, the Bruins are in cap shit house, why would you want to move on from that contract and or player, unless it is a overpayment. Addition by subtraction can be costly.

As I do too often, my apologies, I post stuff simply for you guys to look at even if I haven't read it yet.

There isn't a single player on the Boston Bruins varsity roster I wouldn't trade at this point. I'll explain that at a later time. But if I can keep Matthew, I'm keeping him. He's a keeper. So it's mason. Those are guys I would not want to part with whatever the sweetheart deal.

I would deal Frederic, packaged with Lysell and a roster player or two - we can debate who - in a trice.

Must away, but will explain my reasoning per dealing any player on the current roster.

Hint: SweeNeely Spinning Wheel will end, inevitably.

Probably not anytime soon, as Charlie is in love.

Yet the only way forward in my view is a rebuild. And they are in a rebuild as we speak, whether they understand or admit this or not.

Why?

Because refueling at 2,000 ft. will not work anymore.

The inherited Zdeno Chara. The inherited Patrice Bergeron. They inherited David Krecj. They inherited Tuukka Rask. They inherited David Pastrnak.

Those players are not walking through that door.

A true rebuild belongs in other hands. Whose, I do not know.

But Cam and Don have given everything they can to this organization, everything they are able to give.

It is highly unlikely either or both will be gone anytime soon, even if the requisite playoff gate does not materialize.

So, you have what you have.

Enjoy the ride, such as it is.

Speech to text too lazy to fix,

Oh good another long anti-Sweeney screed. Been a minute.

 

[TCB]

. Once Sweeney is 100% sure whether Frederic will or will not be a Bruin going forward, he will make his move based on that. I can't see any situation where he keeps Frederic as his own rental.

Surely doesn’t follow suit with previous pending UFA under Sweeney watch. Imo I don’t see him moving him unless he’s blown away with an offer, no matter if he can get him signed or not by the deadline.He went out and got bigger, meaner and harder to play against with the additions of Zadarov and Kastelic in an attempt to bld a team for the playoffs, so I don’t see him making a counter productive move by moving Frederic whether he’s signed or not and more than likely IMO tfred like Jake, Krug and Big Z before him, will enter the off season not sign to an extension with the Bruins.

 

[DKH]

Why should they trade their top six center prospect who has already shown he can play in the NHL?

Because he’s not wicked awesome now

Oh good another long anti-Sweeney screed. Been a minute.

This is why at 25 I stopped doing recreational drugs and limited my alcohol intake to basically beer and no shots

So you would be fine with Osterle/Wotherspoon in the top 4? There's Peeke, but the Bruins would be asking him to play 4:00+ minutes a night than his average TOI.

I really like the way Osterle has played and with the off-season addition of Zadarov the continued growth of Lohrei. I’d see what’s out there in a deal for Lindholm, in an attempt to improve the offense.

I think going into the season, a lot of us thought the defensive corps was all set with the addition of Zadorov. With Sacco at the helm, the Bruins have improved their defensive game a lot. Zadorov/McAvoy/Lindholm/Carlo is a really good top 4 defensive corps. I think the conversation regarding moving a top 4D depends on Lohrei's development. Right now, I still think he has to build his defensive game.

I don't see the Bruins trading Lindholm or Carlo until the offseason at the earliest. Even then, the Bruins will have plenty of cap space in the offseason to address the offense if they want to so unless someone on the defensive-end has a disastrous post-season, I don't see the Bruins moving someone on defense, but only time will tell.

I do agree that if the Bruins add, they will most likely move a forward and prospects/picks.

Current Bruins aren’t in the same position they were in under those teams.

Those teams were top of the standings contenders. This team is a dark horse. Strategy changes based on circumstance.

[DiggityDog]

osterle mcavoy

A startling 1-5 on the actual spelling.

My favorite though is the non attempt at Zadorov. Why not risk it at that point right?

I disagree. I think this team, as it stands can win a round or two, and with the right add, not subtraction their right there with anyone.

 

[DKH]

I’d give up the first in a heart beat plus for Kreider

Garbage draft on top of if

 

[DKH]

Trading Carlo is moronic unless a top 4 RD comes back

Rangers won’t want UFA Frederic as a major part

Trade the first plus include Freddy for contract, B, Rangers retain 50% plus a prospect

Everyone will cry anyways Sweeney can’t draft so we spared all that whining

Donny let’s go babe !!!!

Kreider - Zacha- Pastrnak
Marchand - Lindholm- Coyle
Brazeau - Poitras - Geekie

I disagree. I think this team, as it stands can win a round or two, and with the right add, not subtraction their right there with anyone.

They are right there with about 8 teams we need to separate

Donny needs to bring out the Magic that shows why since he took over they most points in hockey

 

[TCB]

Me too. Go all in this year and then tank next year for McKenna. Lord Stanley to the next one!

 

[DKH]

They won’t be tanking

Go all in for next 2-3 years : Kreider, Marchand, Coyle, Lindholms

Donny - do it

 

[quietbruinfan]

I am with TCB. i am sure Sweeney overvalues TF because hedrafted him in the first round. (They called him a bottom sixer and even fourth liner but still drafted late in the first. That is typical Sweneely.)

 

[TCB]

They won’t be tanking

Go all in for next 2-3 years : Kreider, Marchand, Coyle, Lindholms

Donny - do it

Ok, but man McKenna would be sweet! Maybe Donny can pull out his inner Sam Pollock

When they do suck if Betman is still commish he will rig it for Boston like others

 

[KillerMillerTime]

This team shows frequently they aren't a Cup contender. First round fodder with the real chance of a DNQ. How many beatings does it take to make it obvious?

 

[Gordoff]

Not according to Dom

 

[BTO]

Go Canada!

Ok, but man McKenna would be sweet! Maybe Donny can pull out his inner Sam Pollock

Suck hard for Cousin Bedard!

 

[TCB]

This team shows frequently they aren't a Cup contender. First round fodder with the real dance of a DNQ. How many beatings does it take to make it obvious?

I can see this team coming out tomorrow and beating the Jackets by 4. There’s a whole lot of parity in this league. A cup contender today? No, but the right add and their right there with anyone in the east. I think even as of right now theres 3 teams in the east who beats them in a seven game series in Carolina, Florida and Tampa. Everyone else, the Bruins are right there. Sweeney makes the right add, I’d like their chances with anyone.
