Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XV

[Sheppy]

So are we saying the Bruins are good or bad at closing out games now?

I don’t know what this means.

 

[Coach Parker]

Fire the GM. He has failed at his job all year and not done a single trade to change the roster and improve this crappy product.

Nothing else to say.

 

[Coach Parker]

At this point, the manager cannot be trusted to improve or re-tool this team. Don't do anything else except FIRE the GM.

New GM hires new coach and makes trades.

The rest is now officially all fantasy talk and false hope for the fans.

 

[BruinDust]

Fire the GM. He has failed at his job all year and not done a single trade to change the roster and improve this crappy product.

Nothing else to say.

PK Subban on the opening basically said that the team has too many guys who are the same and he doesn't see it working.

Don Sweeney has accomplished something truly remarkable here. A team chaulk full of two-way forwards, grinders, two-way D-men and defensive D-men that absolutely sucks at defending.

 

[Blowfish]

Trying to stay positive.

I genuinely don’t understand the lack of “action”.

Jacob’s/Neely, from what I’ve seen, have not come out and backed Sweeney at all. But he’s still here. Which leaves me to wonder if they’re keeping the leash tight and not letting him try and fix this. And if that’s the case then move the f*** on from him and SELL!!!!

I for one will completely lose my sanity if the trade deadline comes and goes, Sweeney is still here and not a thing has been done to this roster.

I think that was the sell moment indeed. Key moment in the season.

But we'll see.

Well said.

A team of mediocrity players, culture, leadership, skill, drive, coaching, development, system and future.

While fans pay a PREMIUM price and the players are paid to the cap.

100% failure as a GM creating the team.

Scrap all trade ideas. Don't buy or sell.

Fire.

Today is the trade deadline. If they are STUPID enough to bring this roster back after the break they will be a lottery team by the actual trade deadline.

Mediocrity. That is the Bruins culture and team to it's core.

Nothing to do with the BS penalty call on him today, but what is the infatuation with Beecher.

He’s played in over 90% of their games and brings very, very little to the table.

I mean, it’s not even like he’s developing into something and getting better as the year goes on.

The more I see him the less I see potential I see.

Just a waste of a apot, IMO.

 

[slim399]

My first thought when the goal was called back was that might be the call that saves the season.

Then when they scored right after I knew that was the sign they need to sell!

Time to break up the band! It’s over!

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Whatever UFAs aren’t re-signed by the deadline, you have to trade them.
And you absolutely do not trade for any rentals.

 

[JCRO]

Friedman mentioned on 32 thoughts yesterday he could see a team like the Caps adding to their current third line as it’s been inconsistent.

Sweeney has shown at times he will go back to the well with trade partners. And one guy I look at on that team that they’d probably like to offload so they can add as it hasn’t really worked out thus far is Mangiapane.

He’s a UFA after this season too so you’re not committed to the 5.8 outside of this season if he continues to stink.

 

[JCRO]

i.e

Frederic for Mangiapane + 2nd for taking his whole salary.

Something like that. You move a guy you’re concerned about signing. Maybe Mangiapane sticks around beyond this season. Maybe not. You still get a 2nd or some pick.

 

[The don godfather]

Just get charlie 9.5 million out of here somehow. Open up that capspace. Send him to philly for drysdale or something. Get him out . When your paid that number you score game winning goals or prevent last minute goals . I thought he was a mcdonagh clone hes not even 20 percent of him.

 

[BruinsJoe]

It will be stand path imo, Sweeny think this is only a bad year and injurys are big part of this pathetic line up. He will extend Marchy Freddy Geekie Wahlstrom all the kit!!! Next year is the one

 

[Alicat]

Lots of smoke about Elias Pettersson being moved soon.

There’s been smoke around him for over a year now.
