Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread X

Wow Wahlstrom gets 4 games before people want to ride him out of town..
New team, new linemates, new city.

I assume you all performed perfectly first weeks into a new job

I kinda remember that Marchand guy pretty much sucked when called up... Good thing we didn't ditch that failure after 4 games....or 10..or 20

I believe that Joe Thornton guy sucked for a year too

And before you say it, no I don't think he will turn into either of those two

 

[PlayMakers]

Lysell up for tonight....

I'd go Brazeau-Frederic-Lysell as our 3rd line vs Columbus.

 

[Hookslide]

Sure as long as his production picks up, otherwise we should move on

Correct, and you are not stuck with some costly anchor contract.

Wahlstrom has shown pretty much what he's shown his prior 200 plus games in the NHL: nice shot, but not much else. He has 11 goals/26 points in his last 100 games. His AHL career to date has him at 25 points in 50 games.

Wahlstrom is no Marchand and no Thornton. Cmon now. Could he turn his career around? Maybe. But right now, he's JAG.

What do you want for a free waiver wire pick up? There are reasons why McDavid isn't on waivers

Well said.

Yes... but that's why some are ready to see Wahlstrom sit and see more talent in the lineup instead.

I read this post again after his game last night because it´s kind of ironic. He had a very bad game. He is solid and his contract doesn´t hurt you but you always wonder if he is the right guy to have in the top four. His offense game is nonexistent, he really isn´t physical and he had his problems with injuries in the past. I would be open minded to upgrade on him or use him to get an NHL ready prospect.

I was just reading this after the game because it’s kinda ironic. Carlo had a very good game

Led in TOI, blocks, hits, intimidation

Thank you Keith Gretzky for drafting him

 

[PB37]

Frederic for Jiri Kulich.

It's the Sabres, so they probably don't know the kid is going to be a stud.

You would never ... I don´t see you ever betray a team lead by Mr. Donald Clarke Sweeney

Kulich plus for Carlo. Kulich has star potential. Let him live in Zacha´s cellar and let Pasta babysit him from time to time. Boom! Who says no?

I swear I didn't read this before coming in to comment. Excellent trade target

I love Kulich we aren’t getting him for Freddie

Yes A+ to @Sevendust

Lysell looks like a player and seems to have added more confidence to his game.

I really like the Marchand-Lindholm-Coyle line but strapping Lysell next to Lindholm could do wonders for his game.

Once’s again I hate to break up that line but this lays out pretty nicely.

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.

You are over rating this Boston team. They will be significant underdogs to Florida, Tampa Bay and Carolina whom they easily could have to play in R1. They are a prime Kreider, H. Lindholm and last years Swayman away from just competing against those 3. Good luck with getting that.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Was it Dom who said over the summer, “get used to hearing the word mediocre”?

Take a look at their remaining schrdule. Much more difficult than first 37, as it has
about 60% of their remaining schedule against PO Teams.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Right now they have a very young defense. Carlo gives them veteran leadership, still young, stay at home D which benefits their offensive minded defensemen, good contract, good character.

I think they have too many left Handed D.

No way do you do this until Lysell proves he belongs, especially with Coyle putting the puck in the net, come on man, thats ridiiculous.

 

[DKH]

Bruins not perfect or close

But I’m digging the game Poitras is playing in AHL and Hampus Lindholm will be a monster add

Swayman is 90 % back

Team is a B+ healthy a top 5 overall

Nothing wrong with that - we been spoiled getting 3 or 4 best overall records and 3 Finals in last 15 years never both in the same season

Nothing wrong with being good/very good and making the playoffs

Why is Fred there?

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Freddie mom said he’s not allowed to grow facial hair when he’s at home

I feel like he’s playing like a boy instead of a man

What team is going to bail out the Rangers? I hope it's not the Bruins.

Im sure its all going to work out for them. It always ends up that way one way or another.

Your basically saying just what I posted, so how can I be over- rating them?

Not really because prime Kreider looks like a thing of the past and Lindholm's return has a bunch of question marks. So 2\3 of them are unlikely to materialize. Swayman
is the most likely to happen.
