Try to get a 5th, 6th, heck, even a 7th for Korpi. If you can’t at that point? Waive him. Call up Depietro and see what he has this year rather than next. Sign a UFA goalie this summer if he looks really lost.
You’re getting nothing for him with this contract.

Even with Ottawa retaining 25%.

Not that many selling teams and lots of buyers who have a shot at the Cup and need cap space. The Bruins have that this year. This has to be a big haul of draft picks and players. Not only this draft but the next few. Time to take advantage. This is the retool.
 
Honestly I like Cole Kopeke and J Osterle

They have decent numbers and like their game

I would trade Beecher if I could from L4

I would also trade Carlo while his value is high as we need younger talent and he’s our best chip to get someone like Necas


I would be calling EDM

But his value isn't high.

Other teams do have scouts.

Why? What are the Bruins trading to get a big haul?

If they trade Geekie I hope it's a 2026 first rounder who will hopefully hit on and be ready to help by age 22 or 23 in 2031. We don't needs Geekies offense if Whalstrom works on things in Providence and comes back and Pasta can turn him into 18 goals in 36 games

My foundation if GM

Geekie - Zacha - Pastrnak
Marchand - Lindholm - XXX
XXX- Poitras- Coyle
Beecher - Kastelic - XXX

1. I expect one or more of Lysell, Merk, Farinacci

Lindholm- McAvoy
Lohrei- Carlo
Zadarov - Peeke

Swayman
Korpi??
Your projected line-up is realistic for next season. Likely to happen.

The defense is set and Swayman will be the #1 goalie. Korpisalo as the #2 is uncertain.

At forward they need to add a couple of players like Zacha and Geekie. Not clear that Beecher will make it. Hopefully a couple of the prospects like Farinacci, Merkulov or Lysell will make the team.

Geekie only 26 and is a swiss utility knife. Hard to replace . I say keep him.
 
Call up Lysell, Merkulov, and Farinacci. Let’s see if we have something in the pipeline already. Maybe they spark something in the rest of the lineup too. We’ve lost five in a row, I guess it could be worse, those games might not have been close.
 
If Donny gets 3 picks in the 1st round I'll pick it for him. I'll follow red line report to get it done. The end. It’s not complicated.
I’ll pick - my mother was born and raised in Salem 13 kids, Dungeons, Gallows Hill and all that good shit - and has witch DNA. So that makes me a wizard. I’ve been reading up on the draft so I’m overqualified
Sweeney did take Lohrei & Poitras round 2 so I’ll just pick round 1 he’s fine after that

If we trade Carlo we should get David Savard to play RD

I liked him back when he was with Columbus

Not sure if he retired but he can’t have been out long - I think Montreal fans loved his sand paper
 
Maybe if they can include him in a trade, and take a slightly bad but different contract back. Not worth buying him out either, figure a million dollars for a different backup and his buyout cost added brings it up to almost the same hit.
We could take one of their goalies back. They both have another year left. With a little retention depending on the goalie.

I'm hoping we move off of Coyle. We need some extra cap space to change the look of this team

I hope the Wahlstrom era is ended forever with this team
 
I’m torn on trading Marchand, but I’m looking over teams that could use him most and Minnesota really stands out with Kaprizov out. Minnesota also has some young center depth. Maybe if we could get Hunter Haight or Charlie Stramel and their 2026 1st. Marchand gives them a short term replacement for Kaprizov, and great depth if he comes back.
