Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread X

Coyle and Carlo for Kreider and Lindgren

Money's close but Lindgren's coming up on UFA.

It seems like Lindgren has been around for ten years yet he’s only 26. I’m told he’s having an off year, but I very quickly pull the trigger on a deal that gets rid of those two stiffs in one swoop.

Neither club wants to rebuild so why not shuffle each other's moderately expensive disappointments?

I’m all in on a deal that brings Kreider. Adding Lindgren is even better.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I never said anything about a pick. I’m trying to unload Coyle and add in Lindgren. My trade is Coyle, Lohrei and Lysell for Kreider and Lindgren.

Well that’s about 100 times worse. Lindgren? Just because he has the most bleeding/60 in the NHL?

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Leave Lohrei out of it and it looks good

Yeah, Lohrei is the only defenseman in the whole organization who might turn into a 40-50 point a year guy. I like Lindgren, but even at his absolute best, he is another guy with Carlo like offensive skills.

 

[Hookslide]

Nope, overpay for two aging players and the Rangers are selling players for minimal return.

Lindgren is 26

Marchy Zacha Pasta
Geekie Lindholm Lysell
Merkulov Poitras Brazeau
Frederic Kastelic Coyle

Talent offensive skill injection...

 

[Blowfish]

Enough with this line up. Bring up the kids!

This works

 

[BruinDust]

But how many elite level players in their prime become available during the season? How many teams that believe themselves to be a contender give themselves this sort of space to potentially make an in-season splash before the trade deadline?

Not every good team spends all their cap space by the end of every off-season. Plenty go into the season with cap space and don't spend for the sake of spending.

We're just used to the Bruins maxing it out every summer whether they have nothing to spend to start with or they spend it on secondary pieces.

 

[CDJ]

Pettersson is the only needle mover potentially available for them

 

[bp14]

He needs to be a 40-50 point guy if he’s gonna cost you 40-50 goals a year.

 

[The don godfather]

Try the kids in providence before any trade .

To be fair he’s not far off a 40 point pace rn

I thought lysell looked pretty good. Poitras looked good. I don’t get why Poitras hasn’t been called up and I don’t get why Lysell wasn’t given a few more games.

This works

I put Brazeau with Merk cause they have great chemistry together and Poitras Merk is a win too...3 big boys as a fourth line with speed

When I think back to times when we had Middleton, Bourque, Park, Ratelle, Cashman, Cheevers, McNab and O’Reilly on the ice at the same time, it really saddens me to witness the complete failure Sweeney has been as a GM.

Hes done pretty good sway McAvoy carlo lohrei getting zacha and Coyle from suberb trades. I think the lindholm and zadorov signings were brilliant and are meshing now the linus trade was masterstroke brilliant. Overall I'm happy with Donny.

It's called Bruins.

In response to this post, all I can say is that I also miss the days when there was no such thing as trolling.

 

[Absurdity]

Come on Sweeney, call up Poitras and Lysell. If it makes some veterans on the team mad that they are losing their spots to rookies then so be it. They have had half the season to get it together, and they haven't.

 

[Kegs]

I wonder if the bruins would take a risk on Zegras if they gave him away for super cheap. His value is at an all time low I would say.

Out a few more weeks after knee surgery. He did have a dead cat bounce before the injury (6 pts in 4 games before going back to zeros)

What does cheap mean? Straight up for Charlie Coyle? Or do you think they will retain 50%, and then maybe somehow you can make a deal work using Frederic, but you'd need to add a decent amount of value to that to make the retention worth it

 

[JCRO]

I agree with Anthony here. Time to send up the kids.

Call me ignorant but I’d rather lose some games 5-4 than 2-1. All while seeing some young offensive talent in this rather bland lineup..

 

[Concessionaire]

My gut tells me that trading for Kreider would be a repeat of the Beleksy/Backes acquisitions.

I get letting Poitras mature in Providence . However his skill set is desperately needed on the Bruins
