Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XIV

[DominicT]

Every year it's the same old thing.

I’ve watched a handful of prov games. Lysell deserves a look. He is an nhl talent as far as I’m concerned. I like his potential more than merkulov. His skating is ridiculously good.

Why haven't they brought Lysell or Merkulov up for more than a cup of coffee ?

What are they waiting for?

That is an honest question.

I think they want lysell to chip pucks deep and stop stick handling into two/three players.

I feel like merkulov needs a look. They might not like his mobility and size. He is really effective on the pp in providence. 29th in the league in pp you would think they would be calling him up…

I’d do it. They’re both in their prime and there’s enough ice time for two RW to get 16/18 minutes per game, IMO.

Just means the 3/4 RW get less ice.

Marner has played some center as well. Hell he’s played defense in game as well and I mean the position. Lol

Is Lysell *still* doing that? I keep hearing this sort of thing. They may simply believe that he hasn't progressed, or refuses to try, in a very basic sense.

What else could it be?

The Merkulov business seems like...

I don't know.

Given where they are, finding out what they have in this player Is logical, common sense.

I want the Bruins to lose and keep losing, as profit or lack thereof is the only language ownership understands. The ATM has to malfunction before significant change occurs.

Even so, in the meantime, their handling of Merkulov is odd if not exasperating.

 

[TCB]

What do they want for Leonard, because I be interested lol

I’m sure he’s not untouchable, but he would cost a lot. I’d give up any regular +, outside of Pasta and McAvoy for him.

 

[Kegs]

Merkulov, lysell and brunet have chemistry. Lysell dinged the post after a beautiful feed from merkulov.

Old habits are hard to kill. I haven’t seen him do it tonight. Tonight I’m only half paying attention sadly.

 

[PlayMakers]

Tavares contract expires this summer they’ll let him walk and resign Marner. No brainer.

They're already working to re-sign Tavares.

 

[22Brad Park]

They're already working to re-sign Tavares.

I did hear that but it will be a home province discount compared to last deal he had is a good bet

 

[LouJersey]

Bruins need to help Ovi get another cup, for the cost of Ryan Leonard

Kid is a complete stud, they would be nuts to deal him, would kill to get him

That’s the Iginla, Tage Thompson type of deadline deal that this team needs.

If Marchand wanted it……..

One can dream!

Get the Caps to throw in a 2nd as well

He’s probably a 25-40-65 kind of kid who lights it up in the playoffs and we hate playing against him for 15 years

It won’t happen, of course…..but Ovi isn’t getting any younger and sometimes you’ve got to strike while the iron is hot.

Maybe I’m underestimating them, but I don’t think the Caps as presently constituted win the East.

But add in a Marchand, maybe a Coyle, Carlo or even a Zacha (not that I want him moved) and that moves the needle a bit.

You’ve gotta give to get.

They’ll give to get but they’re not going to give Leonard up. He’ll play in the playoffs for them this year.
