Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XI

[TCB]

Guerin sent Coyle here, not sure he'd care for him or the ghost of Trent F.

I’d trade Coyle for Buium too, but it was Carlo I was sending to Billy G.

 

[Gordoff]

Dealing with Minnesota the 2 guys I would be interested in are Jake Middleton and Markus Foligno.

McAvoy and Merkulov or Lysell. They would probably want the 1st but...
Big trade, don't kill me because I don't know if it's
a total crap idea or what just spit balling.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Gonna take a lot more than that to get Zeev.

Oh sorry, I misread.

 

[BamBamCam]

Wasn't he suppose to go top 5????

 

[TCB]

Oh sorry, I misread.

NP I actually read it as Coyle first too. lol

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Wasn't he suppose to go top 5????

He was certainly projected top 10.

And Friedman mentioned today that it’s madness he dropped to 13.

But this is another attempt at a gotcha right?

I love both Middleton and Foligno but you need a young scorer for McAvoy or a package of center prospects. At least 1 of whom can become a number 1.

McAvoy to Chicago for Dach, Nazar and Chicago's first. Your top 3 centers in 2 years Nazar, Poitras and Dach. If you get Misa or Hagens in the draft move Dach to wing.

No way Guerin does that.

 

[CellyHard]

Carlo out for a top six forward and then sign Jonathan Kovacevic in the offseason. He's a year younger and is leading the Devils in +/-

This makes almost too much sense. The Devils would be stupid to sign him long term with a massive Luke Hughes extension coming and Simon Nemec and Seamus Casey close. Unless they plan on trading their 2nd overall pick but it just seems outlandish because they need the ELC under cap constraints.

Carlo is the most trade-able asset and there is identical clone in the offseason to replace him. Kovacevic averages just as much PK TOI as Carlo and shouldn't command much more than his current AAV

That is how your retool on the fly

 

[TCB]

Nope not a chance.
Buium skilled and poised. Bruins would need to add +

 

[Coach Parker]

Love me that Miller Montreal killer.

 

[PlayMakers]

Yeah, hoping for something to give and one of those blanks being someone who can compliment the Pastrnak and 3-4th line team.

Carlo, Poitras and a 1st for EP40

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Carlo, Poitras and a 1st for EP40

I have read earlier in the year from Van posters EP has knee issues.

 

[Coach Parker]

Carlo, Poitras and a 1st for EP40

Any trade that brings in talent like EP40 OR passion like Miller is a win for this franchise. Miller with 2G and 2A vs Montreal tonight so far...

 

[TCB]

Gonna take a lot more than that to get Zeev.

For sure and I don’t see any reason Guerin would move him. He kept trying to get higher in last years draft to pick him and then ended up sending a third to Philly just to move up one spot to take him, but hell u never know it wasn’t long ago some here were saying Frederic was worth a first plus.

 

[PlayMakers]

After the 2022-2023 Bruins season?

Lots of turnover there for sure, but I think even that team saw 14 of 23 return.

Miller's age scares me. I'd be all in on Petterson though. He's in that 25-28 age range, to go along with McAvoy, Pasta, Swayman, Zacha...

Carlo out for a top six forward and then sign Jonathan Kovacevic in the offseason. He's a year younger and is leading the Devils in +/-

Devils need a 3c. Haula hasn't scored a point since Thanksgiving and is getting scratched. Maybe you could swap Frederic for Kovacevic?

Done and done.

Here’s an interesting take from a Nuck fan.

Ive been on the trade Petey and trade Miller train for years so this thread is my gloryday.

I get Barry Pederson vibes.

So many times ive seen "Trading Petey is Cam Neely 2.0" when in reality Pettersson is Pederson. Look at the hockey db.

Barrys back problems are Peteys wrist knee and mental block issues.

I want my own Neely and Glen Wesley.

Ducks are ripe for the picking
Slugs are ripe for the picking
Rags are ripe for the picking
Isles are ripe for the picking

Every team is ripe for the picking.

All this drama couldnt be happening at a better time with t-minus 6 months to NMC.

 

[Coach Parker]

Here's what you need to know about EP40 in the playoffs:

Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov both outscored him last year. Oh, and Miller had DOUBLE the points.

 

[22Brad Park]

I’m hopeful for 8th seed and not trading first

After 10 years (2013-14 to 2022-23) of the most points, three President Trophies, losing in the 7th game I’m out on trying to build the super team, trading firsts.

Seriously, burned out from the expectations and disappointments

You get the 8th seed no expectations, no ridiculous costs for a potential extra game (yah that’s about me), you advance it’s an upset everyone is excited, you lose you pick 17-20 which is about area Connor, Barzal, Norris, and Thomas went after Boston took Sensyshyn & Vaakanainen.

The losses don’t move the needle for me anymore - i obviously want them to win and I’m going next 3-4 games but just get 8th and be the spoiler

Just under no circumstances trade that first for any rentel the odds are it’s just a loss of future

Honestly if they sneak in last week I’ll be happy I’m interested in what’s going on

This is a good post and probably exactly what the Bruins brass is thinking far as just get in the playoffs.Very flustering as a fan when you see no direction just blind hope.I wish they would just sell and start the process of building again because this is not a winning ticket.

Our playoff spot is an illusion. All teams below us have games in hand. Detroit and Montreal each have 3, Ottawa has 4 and Tampa has 5. We're playing terrible hockey right now. As they make up those games, we'll fall out of contention unless we start playing better.

Lower they fall the better the pick which in my mind is better longterm for this franchise.They might trade it yet though.

Miller I like alot.The other guy( EP40) though plays to soft.The fans here would clobber him if he is not putting up pts.

 

[PlayMakers]

Done and done.

Or maybe they'd do Kovacevic and a 2nd for Coyle. They have the cap space. They have three 2nd round picks. I doubt NJ is on Coyle's NTC list.

Also helps the Bruins free up money for a big add.

Here's what you need to know about EP40 in the playoffs:

Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov both outscored him last year. Oh, and Miller had DOUBLE the points.

Yeah, but the playoff before that he had 18 points in 17 games, which led the Canucks.

 

[JCRO]

I’d be shocked if it was EP40 leaving town and not JT Miller.

Regardless, you need to be all in on either one.
