Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XII

[Hookslide]

Who leads the team in blocked shots?
Short handed time on ice ?
Starts in defensive zone ?

The Defenseman, that at everyone wants gone.

 

[TCB]

This is a full series recap but if you saw the highlights from the other one (game one where Miller, Zadorov and Lindholm were the heroes with Garland) game five was more of the same. 14:32 mark.

Edmonton Vs. Vancouver Series

Wasn't Lindholm being slotted more accordingly and playing 3rd line-minutes?

 

[Hookslide]

He may have loved playing there. Been brutal in Boston.

Miller negative for me is contract, age, Lindholm negative for me, contract, age, and production make that deal.

 

[TCB]

RG.ORG: Marco D’Amico cited a well-informed NHL source claiming the league will drop the escrow withholding rate from players’ salaries from six percent to zero effective Jan. 30 for the remainder of the regular season.

The source also told D’Amico that, because profits are expected to be higher than previously projected, the players will receive between two and six percent in extra earnings.

This sets the stage for a substantial increase in the salary cap for 2025-26. It was projected to reach between $92 million and $93 million but could now rise higher.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

He’s an asshole. He’s never won anything. And he’s blown up the Vancouver locker room twice.

All set.

He won a 2013 WJC as a key player on the US Team.

 

[CellyHard]

This makes more sense as far as terms of a possibility, as any trade between the Bruins and Canucks. Both Swayman and Pettersson have no current trade protection and Demko wants out. Make it happen Sweeney!

Not really. They don't need to trade their franchise center when they could just resign Lankinen who has been just as good, if not better than Swayman this year and then call up Silovs.

It's kind of crazy that they are likely going to be trading Demko, Miller/EP and Boeser. Hoglander has also been out there, who could be a sneaky good player for somebody.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I like Miller too but let's not go crazy here. Miller has only a single 100 point season is his career and has 56 points in 91 career Playoff games.

He also got 99 points in 80 games and his last 30 SCPO games has 30 points in 30 games.

 

[Hookslide]

I don't think his production, would be an issu, my only concern is his contract and age, and there thoughts that he could be injured.

 

[shelbysdad]

The Defenseman, that at everyone wants gone.

Everyone?
Not seeing that

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I just checked and Kreider who is supposedly now useless, has 14 goals. Seems like only Marchand and Pasta have more. Just saying.

I wanted the NYR #1 pick with Kreider and Schneider for McAvoy. K reader has been vin and out of the lineup with a supposed back issue.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Including Poitras in a trade for a forward on the wrong side of 30 is a radical move

 

[Tbaybruin]

He won a 2013 WJC as a key player on the US Team.

80% of the players haven’t won anything.

The Defenseman, that at everyone wants gone.

our PK SUCKS and so does our defensive game. He’s on the ice the most. He’s been terrible.

 

[Sevendust]

Can we please get away from players like Kreider, Miller and/or Zibanejad? They are players who had their best seasons behind them. We already signed a player like them in Lindholm in the offseason. The Bruins better invest the little bit of value they have in a young player or one who is in his prime and has a high probability to stay in it for the next years.

Trading a 27 yr old core player during a down year for the entire team isn’t a move I’d make

 

[Hookslide]

I like Miller too but let's not go crazy here. Miller has only a single 100 point season is his career and has 56 points in 91 career Playoff games.

last three years prior to this season, he has over 100 goals, close to 600 hits, fo % higher than Lindholm, has missed only 4 games in those three years. this season has mor PP goals than anyone on the Bruins. I am not saying he is someone to go out and get, but he is a player the Bruins are in need of. Go get him and Kreider, and this team would be pretty interesting. I am not saying and can be done, or saying it should be done, but must all admit this team might be more exciting. Before anyone wets their pants, I know about the cap.

What is your future outlook for Poitras look like?

You want to live through another Jumbo Joe trade?

That's horrible value for a top pairing dman

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Agreed. 100 pt 1st line C who are PPG in the playoffs and scream at fellow teammates that don't bring the same effort?

It's a much stronger dressing room and culture in Boston. Miller would become a fan favourite like he was here last year in Vancouver.

My guess? Carlo and Poitras? Coyle and Lohrei? Someone to replace Miller (downgrade) and then upgrade the D.

I'd also welcome Pettersson coming in with a fresh start and Pastrnak as his linemate in Boston but you have to understand that he is a quieter, more laid back Krejci and his personality comes off as super laid back and casual. Will Bruins fans and the media be as angry with him that the Vancouver fans, media and some mentioned teammates are?

I think the deal would be Zacha and Carlo… if the Canucks are looking to salvage their season. If it’s a young guy as part of the package, we’re stuck with a cap overage to account for as well. And assuming we see Poitras as a middle-six C and Lohrei as an everyday member of the blueline, we’re losing a cheap player at a key position.

This is where I think the Pettersson debate comes down to for the Bruins. There’s $3.5M between the two options and if the play is made mid-season, Miller is the far easier (although not easy) fit. If this was an off-season deal, go all-in on the younger, more rounded C.

Could you convince the Canucks to retain $2M/yr on Miller? Does his NTC help drive his price down? And if you’re some other team, do you have the assets to offer something far more attractive for Allvin?

I’d hope he turns into a 2nd line center who uses his slick hands and hockey IQ to setup his scoring wingers. Not a big kid but potentially learns how to use his body to protect the puck. Basically Krejci. He has that potential

 

[Blowfish]

Goal scorers is what we need. go after Panarin, Taffoli, or DeBrincat

Toffoli makes $6M a year for three more years after this.

Panarin makes $11.6M for one more year and would cost everything not nailed down.

Why is Detroit trading DeBrincat?

all would take salary back. Here goes nothing.

Agree Tof too
Much
Mac for Pan Mac back home
Detroit needs beef. Fred plus.

Both Pani and Mac decline that trade.

DeBrincat pretty much forced his way to Detroit, he's not being moved and Fred doesn't even start the conversation.

Mac would definitely go to NYC. And i heard Detroit is interested in Fred. I said Fred plus. It’s all what ifs. I was bored.

I'd be shocked if Sweeney deals Tfred to the wings or any eastern team, but I guess anythings possible considering the return.

If he didn't ice the puck and won a few board battles maybe those numbers would be different. Grossly overrated player, time to move on from him. Peeke is a better Dman
