Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XIX

[SPV]

How fast they turn it around depends a lot on health more than anything else. If Mac and Lindholm come back strong, and Swayman gets a full preseason, I think they can be pretty good no matter what else they do.

 

[Coach Parker]

If Marchy doesn’t return give Pasta the “C”.

100%. It gives him and others a chance to define the team.

Hey Donny, I just want to talk. Thats all, just a little talk. Nothing else…

Coaching makes a huge difference too but they are still about 16 players away from contention.

 

[The don godfather]

Let the kids play and use cap space very wisely. Hoping poitras lysell minton take the next step.

He gone

 

[JoeIsAStud]

I mocked out a lineup where they sign Boeser or Ehlers for 8.5.

Give Geekie and Lohrei 4.0 each and, Khusnutdinov 1.75 and Lauko 1.25 and they have 7.0 left to spend on 1F and 1D.

If they think they can fill out the defense with someone in house or re-sign Wotherspoon, that should only use up 1.5-2.

Which means they can get a pretty decent forward using 3.5-4.5.

Or they can do the opposite and fill out the forwards with a Lysell, Beecher (No, God no!) and spend a bit on the defense.

So looks like at least in some corners Beecher has inherited the available hate now that some key whipping boys have been dealt.

I will be stunned if Beecher is not on the roster come opening night

I am sure he will be there. He’s not really progressed this season like I hoped he would. He’s still young and there’s time but he needs to get better in the o-zone if that is possible for him.

Zacha - #1Center - Pastrnak
#2LW - Mittelstadt - Geekie
Khusy - Lindholm - Poitras
Lauko - Minten - Kastelic
X: Beecher

Lindholm - McAvoy
Zadorov - Jokiharju
Lohrei - Peeke
X: Wotherspoon, Mitchell

Swayman - Korpisalo


Signing Geekie at $4.5m, Jokiharju at $3.5 and Lohrei at $2m leaves about $13m in cap space.

Hagens/Misa at 1C, maybe not the best spot to put a rookie but f it we ball.
Ehlers at lw

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Max Jones looks incredibly good in Edmonton --how has Beecher had a spot sewn up all year?

 

[quietbruinfan]

Geekie will get more than four million. I like Boeser and Ehlers both. I particularly like Ehler's speed for us but neither is worth 8 per.

Came to post something very similar.

My only difference if that I would put CM with Pasta and just look for a new duo to play with Geekie. I think CM is better off on a line where he isn’t expected to drive play and the team needs at least one play driving center on the roster.

Ehlers at lw

I dont think theyll suck themselves into the top 3. Maybe top 6 or 7.
