Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XIX

[chizzler]

The more those 1st rounders get traded, the less there is for a potential return.

 

[Blowfish]

Marchand is a must trade. Sucks big time but assets are needed. March can resign in the summer.

 

[RoccoF14]

That's insane.

Stamkos signed for 4yr/$8 million last off season. He was 34 years old when he signed vs Marchand 37 years old. Stamkos over his last 3 seasons averaged out to a 40G/92P player. Marchand over these last ~3 seasons averages out to a 27G/68P player. There is no chance Marchand is $7 million

If anyone thinks Marchand is gonna take a pay cut to extend in Boston, they're fooling themselves.

Especially if an extension hasn't been agreed to by the end of day today. As of tomorrow, Boston has ZERO leverage in this negotiation and their negotiating position is SIGNIFCANTLY weakened. After today, they can either agree to his number and term, or lose him for nothing, because SOME team out there is going to offer him $7mil. Whether we agree with it or not....

By the way, NOTHING would make me happier than to be wrong here.....

1 hour and 40 minutes to cash in…. I’m sure the phone lines are buzzing but the “big deal” hasn’t happen yet.

Come on Donny!

 

[Greek_physique]

We have to be able to get a 1st for Coyle no? Lmao

Laughton got a 1st...even if not this year

 

[Absurdity]

I wonder if the Bruins will "send down" Poitras, Brown, Tufte, and Lettieri to the AHL for playoff eligibility.

 

[Deal Law]

There is zero reason Marchand should be on this roster past the deadline if he's not going to sign an extension (or he hasn't indicated they're close and can get something down in short order).

If Donny let's this happen and spins some bullshit about respect and sentimentality, he's a fraud.

 

[sleepyh]

At least we got Lauko back! Things are looking up. Solid 13th forward. Maybe.

Let’s start the ‘retool’ with moving on from the boys club. Unlikely story though. This feels like pre-Chia, less than mediocre Bruins hockey.

 

[Deal Law]

They should send down three of those four and never speak their names again.

 

[8thRoundPick]

IF Brad is being moved, going to the Canes for part of their Rantenen haul seems like such a good fit.

 

[wintersej]

You would think that Rants not resolving would gum up the Marchand/Boeser market.

 

[FRyan4426]

I can hear that A-hole Sweeney now after not doing anything today. “Ya we were in contact on a few things. Nothing came about. We’ll circle back at the draft. We believe in our group”. Blah blah blah blah.

 

[UncleRico]

Can’t wait for the Sweeney word salad after the deadline as to why they couldn’t make any more moves

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

In that repulsive condescending tone of his.



Either that or he trades for a #7 defenseman and says the retool is complete and injuries are the cause of this season.

[McGarnagle]

I'm thinking as pessimistically as possible so that I hopefully will be pleasantly surprised by the deadline.

Don is going to trade for Pat Maroon and Evander Kane, then announce the removal of the interim tag and a 5 year extension for Sacc Daddy

 

[TD Charlie]

Total incompetence. Sold off scrubs for trash. Yay.

 

[ylekot]

move Marchand and Carlo to Canes for what they received for Rantanen

 

[bruinsfan]

I guess there are no bottom line players for Sweeney to continue to fill this roster with. That might explain why he's been quiet.

 

[wintersej]

There should be a name of the personality that pre-complains before the deadline has even hit.

Bye Coyle

Please God be true.

 

[chrisab123]

Trading Coyle is absolutely the right move

Middlestat!
