Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XIV

[Guelph Bruin]

I was just having fun. I agree. I’d like to see as many Kastelic’s (and I was very down on that trade) on our bottom six (or at least three on our 4th line) as possible. Hard work, edgy, physical guys who can chip in offense can play on my team any day.

They should make Freddy room with Kastelic.

Freddy...sigh....has everything it takes but like a lot of 20 somethings these days I just think he's been spoon fed through life (not saying he's not tough ..he is) ....just doesn't have the 24/7 hunger to win and dominate.... high level sustained compete seems the rare trait these day .....likely a result of the money they can make early on these days ....I could be wrong, someone liek Dom would have to weigh in who has studied the game through a few generations....but my guess is high level compete was not an issue decades ago with skill being more rare ...that being said I'd still try to reup Freddy for a reasonable contract...I do think Zad is getting in his ear this year and holding him more accountable on the push back front ...another intangible for a guy like Zad

Back in my day

These kids who have had everything handed to them would run circles around the heroes of yore.

Like Mick said on the podcast yesterday Lindholm is on his 3rd team/system in a little over a year. I think once he gets more settled in he'll start performing better.

Then again I could be wrong, it's happened once before.......

Until the first whistle when a scrum broke out then they'd play scared shitless and dump the puck off like a hot potato

DiPietro looks awesome in NHL all star game. Good timing. Hopefully some GM’s watching and wondering why their prospects can’t put one by him.

 

[Coach Parker]

Not commenting on Zegras because I just dont know enough.

But, that he’s no Marc Savard, is no sin. As you say, Saavy was a beast and a warrior. Sadly, maybe too much of a warrior.

Hope Matt Cooke has a nasty two week flu and is endlessly loosing out of both ends at same time. Absolute scum.

Savard had a really bad reputation coming to Boston too as a slacker and a guy with an ego. Talk about a great addition in the end who wanted to be part of a winning culture.

 

[Coach Parker]

In his defense, Zegras has been good since coming back from injury, 12 points in 14 games.

Zegras won't come cheap. Probably
want poitras or lohrei.

If anyone should know about late blooming goalies it's Bruins fans.Tim Thomas proved me wrong like no other player b4 him or after him.

What is the most important thing you'd like to see the Bruins do at the deadline, in one sentence?

For me, it's add a young NHL (or NHL ready) top6 center.

Trade upcoming UFAs for picks/prospects…

Which injury. He returned from 6-7 weeks off on 1/21 and has 1 goal and 3 assists in 6 games since then

If you look at his last 15 games which goes back to November 15, then you do have 15 games played with 4 goals and 7 assists

Emphasize young center—no older players like J.T. Miller..
