Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XIV

[RedSlider]

If they're talking to Anaheim its gotta be Zegras or Terry right? Can't see how the Bruins could get any Carlsson, McTavish or Gauthier.

Might just be nothing but chatter .Just 34 days till deadline so you will have the answer soon.

 

[Dizzay]

I think Zegras centering Pasta and Zacha would be a massive pick up.

Slide Geekie down to 3LW
Please also grab Olivier from Columbus

It is nothing but chatter and click bait for those who continue to take the bait! Lol

Wonder if the bruins are scouting Simon wang. 6’6” defender who crushes guys apparently. Playing ojhl committed to bc college I believe.

 

[DominicT]

Lettieri and Poitras to Providence. The latter I am sure is a paper transaction

Bob is on it.

Dallas Mavericks trade 25 year old franchise player Doncic, yet somehow Sweeney too fearful to move Coyle Frederic etc

Why do you think Sweeney is fearful of trading them?

Better chance that nobody wants them.

Dom wrote that there were talks with Verbeek. So who does the Ducks have we would realistically be interested in?

Troy Terry - 7M
Killorn - 6.25M (also 35, signed until he's 38 = can't see this one)
Zegras - 5.75M
R Strome - 5M
Fabbri - 4M (UFA after this season)
Vatrano - 3.65M (just signed a new deal, don't think he's dealt anymore)
Gauthier - RFA
Carlsson - RFA
McTavish - RFA

Doubt Anaheim want to move their young RFA's.
So Terry, Zegras, Strome, Fabbri are the only players that may make sense.

McTavish or Carlsson or I'd move on.

Maybe Sweeney could have traded Pasta for JT Miller that would have been closer to what the bold Dallas GM did .

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The only asset on this team that will bring a haul is 88. Hate to say it but this management group absolutely ffed the foreseeable future of this team

McAvoy would. Swiftly becoming underrated.

Pastrnak is a top 10 NHLer and it would be difficult to ever move on from him without a truly unbelievable return.

 

[PlayMakers]

They said on HNIC last night ( Van GM) Miller wanted Vancouver and they had the best offer. Teams were limited to deal with.

Do you mean Miller only wanted New York?

 

[DKH]

Why do you think Sweeney is fearful of trading them?

Better chance that nobody wants them.

A. He’s not fearful of trading

B. And only folks who know jack shit about hockey would think nobody wants them

Zegras for Coyle, and some pieces to round out value. Gets rid of a big problem for the Ducks, and brings in a character veteran they could really use. Maybe Lysell goes in the deal.

 

[GordonHowe]

Sweeney could not pry a nail out of a board with 5 hammers

And change a light bulb too.

 

[22Brad Park]

And change a light bulb too.

He would need Neely to turn the ladder while he holds it

 

[BruinsJoe]

After watching the Rangers game yesterday i'm 110% sure Bruins should not trade for Kreider. Man he is bad at hockey.

I'm 110% sur that they need a serious retool!

 

[PlayMakers]

@DominicT what are your thoughts on Cal Ritchie? What's his upside and how soon is he playing in the NHL?

I figure you know him well so I went on your websites and looked up an article on OHL Writers, but it was from 3 years ago.

 

[GordonHowe]

I don't think he's too fearful. I think he might want to make the right deal and that's a matter of timing. At this point, I can't imagine he's not going to deal plenty. Because the season is down the tubes and everyone knows it. Including death dumb and blind there on causeway street.

"The NHL on Friday informed teams that the current $88 million cap ceiling will jump to $95.5 million in 2025-26, followed by $104 million in 2026-27 and $113.5 million in 2027-28, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic."

So, how does this affect who they move "in or out" at the deadline? Some $7 million additional cap space in 25-26. Followed by around than $9 million additional the following two seasons. Seems like Coyle's contract might not look so bad after all? How about McAvoy? Maybe more good players will reach free agency in the coming years?

The Bruins are at $73 million next year if you factor in all the UFA and RFA, including Marchand and Frederic. They will have $22 million to allocate with a $95.5 million cap. Nichuskin should break the bank!

Wouldn’t mind either depending on the price. Zegras has more upside and younger and with Pasta could be a 100 pt player.

Carlsson right now looks like the ugly duckling. Kind of awkward lots of talent but still growing into that body. McTavish has Bruin written all over him.

 

[Turd Fergus]

It’s been said before but hard pass on Zegras.
