Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XV

[TD Charlie]

Sweeney better have told Pasta we got a contract for him. Do not sign with Colorado


I am not a Midflestadt fan

He will be crucified here

Yikes

Even if Sweeney didn’t say anything to Pastrnak, i would hope Pasta would at least make a passing comment about how fun it would be to play together in Boston

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins don't have a 4th round pick.

Kyrou isn't a center. And he's not worth that package.

He cost Blues the game last night, but still a good player.And yup, no 4th or 2nd I do believe.

Pasta locked up here 3 more yrs so do not get the Colorado talk

 

[Bruin4]

Kyrou isn't a center.

Pretty sure he is

edit: Nope I think your right. Thought he was all this time. Hell of a player though.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

People don't like Zadorov's contract. Which ultimately is fine, he's probably $1M overpaid, but he's been fine for the player he is. He definitely hasn't "sucked" like people are claiming.

He's got a great contract. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

People bitch about his PIMS but he's got lots of (coincidental) fight and roughing PIMS, plus a few end of game 10min Misconducts.
--Not to mention he's drawn calls too.

For how physical he's been, it's a positive trade-off for us.

Why is he overpaid? For the mins he's played on a poor team, he's been great.

 

[bbfan419]

Why do people want CM,,.Do not like idea of paying him just under 6 .million 2 more seasons.I like Bolduc though.

Bruins fans won;t take long to turn on Middlestedt

 

[PlayMakers]

You are acting like McAvoy and Zadorov get buried. They have 68 o-zone starts and 53 d-zone starts. The rest are on the fly or at center ice. Sure Lorhei//McAvoy has is 63 and 24, but 161 are either neutral or over the course of play. Osterle/McAvoy is at 25 to 18 with 95. I hear you, but this ain't comparing 2013 Bergeron and Toews or something.

Zadorov-McAvoy 53 DZ starts
Lohrei-McAvoy 24 DZ starts
Osterle-McAvoy 18 DZ starts

I'm not trying to make it seem like they get buried (I did say half), just that when McAvoy is put with Zadorov they play a more defensive role than when he plays with Lohrei or Osterle.

 

[Bruin4]

I think you are putting way too much importance on being GM for a 4-game tourney.

It's not really that difficult to put together a team for Canada.

It’s not or it shouldn’t be. Chemistry is everything though in a short tournament

I already dislike him

I was going to say ‘I don’t get the Zadarov hate’ then I remembered, duh, Bruins fans hate all our players

 

[GordonHowe]

It’s hard to make trades. It’s hard to sign top billing free agents when you are paying 3rd & 4th line plugs top 6 money. Replace Korpisalo with DiPietro, ship out Coyle Carlo and you have 12m in cap space for a Rantanen/ Guentzel type. Mr Harvard is beloved by some here. Meanwhile Vegas builds a contending team via trades with the likes of Eichel Stone Hanifin etc. But hey they’ll all want to come to Boston in their early to mid 30’s let’s pin our hopes on that

I am interested to hear what Cassidy has to say about the goings on in Boston.

He'll probably take the high road.

I wish he wouldn't.

QFT

And that includes me!

 

[PB37]

I like Mittelstadt but I don't see where he fits here unless they're already pulling the plug on Lindholm's contract ( Mitts for Lindholm ). He's poor at the dot, he's not very physical, decent shot that he rarely uses. Plays an honest two way game, meaning he puts in the work in all three zones but for he has not had a good year. They would still need a goal scorer to help drive that line, as Marchand is getting up there in age and needs someone else to play off of.

If the contract wasn't involved, I would prefer Lindholm to stay and see if he rebounds than roll the dice on Mittelstadt finally hitting his potential.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I like Mittelstadt and hope he does well because he's shown flashes of brilliance. Not here though. I don't see the fit here at all.

 

[BostonBob]

Bruins don't have a 4th round pick.

And yup, no 4th or 2nd I do believe.

I've posted this before but here's a great site for keeping track of future picks ( and what some were traded for ) for the Bruins and other pro teams:

[BostonBob]

Zacha/Potsy/Lysell and a 4th rounder for Jordan Kyrou

A Blues fan would get crapped on big time ( and rightfully so ) for suggesting this proposal but coming from a Bruins fan it's just mind boggling.

 

[bbfan419]

Brazeau for Olivier please

 

[bbfan419]

Looking at their goalies, it might be more difficult than you think.

Still don't understand taking Binnington and Montembeault over Thompson and Blackwood.

 

[bbfan419]

I already dislike him

Same here, we don't need another under achieving soft forward.

 

[22Brad Park]

Brazeau for Olivier please

Has to come signed

A Blues fan would get crapped on big time ( and rightfully so ) for suggesting this proposal but coming from a Bruins fan it's just mind boggling.

It's basically Zacha and Potsy for Kyrou .Bruins have no 4th either .

 

[DKH]

Yah I’m keeping Zacha. If we are talking Fantasy league I move him but real world I’m good

I wish I had the patience everyone here has and waited the 7 years for my 2018 first rounder in the HFL SIM League Gabe Vilardi to be good

 

[DominicT]

Still don't understand taking Binnington and Montembeault over Thompson and Blackwood.

Maybe Goalie Bob made the decision

What about for Coyle? I agree that the fit is a little odd but they could use his playmaking.

What the heck happened to him? He only got 9 minutes of ice time last night.

Just a weird sequence of events. Avs traded a talented prospect for him. Played great as a 2C in the playoffs. Fair 3 year extension. 18 points in his first 20 games this year. Got into a little slump (seems like he got up in his head a little) and now he's completely in the doghouse.

Tough treatment. Bednar doesn't mess around I guess.
