Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XVII

[BruinsJoe]

I like and admire Geekie's shooting persistence and board work. I do wish he had some better 1v1 moves against the goalie - he'd probably have a better chance at hitting 30 that way.

Exactly what he is, a 3rd liner....

If were blowing it up
Marchy for a 1st
Carlo for a 1st.

That's 3 1st round picks. Resign marchy in offseason hopefully.

3 first round picks, the odds of getting 1 good player really increases

It going to be curious to see whom DS gets at the trade Deadline. Fredric Coyle Brassau and any other Udfa not resigning. But don’t think they going to get too much for those guys

The one guy that you have to watch is Geekie

I think everyone believes and knows that would be the absolute best case scenario. Go play for the Avs for 3 months, get us some futures and come back July 1st.

But it needs saying that an under the table agreement like that is technically against the rules, which is why we don't see it often. How shady are the Bruins willing to be? How comfortable is Jacobs with a play like that?

Avs still owe us for Bourque. As they say in Russia "toughshitski's"

Bruins have deadline space to spare. Hopefully they can be broker on some deals that need double retention and they can gain another pick or 2 doing that.

 

[HustleB]

He's a guy I would keep on an affordable contract to be your 7th D. You know injuries are going to happen and he can step in a do a competent job. He might even be alright on a third pair with the right partner,

I agree with you. Wotherspoon is a perfect depth d as long as his number stays less then 2 on 1 or 2 year deals.

 

[22Brad Park]

If they’re buying why sell Provorov? They have $19M in space and he’s playing 23+ minutes a night for them.

I agree wirh you.Can't see them moving Buckethead .

 

[22Brad Park]

What is everyone's thoughts on Connor Zary? RFA and would he be available? Young and has potential.

Strong on the puck,shifty and can skate with decent shot.Reminds me of Marchand actually.The kid has a ton of upside but I can't see Flames moving him.

Bruins make multiple moves ahead of weekend back-to-back

The Bruins made a combined six roster moves ahead of their weekend road trip.

Nay doesn’t make sense. Bruins are selling and Columbus if they’re buying it’s not going to be Merkulov.
IMO Aldred is way off here and Mitchell is up to replace a Carlo and merk a tfred or someone else being shipped out.

Tfred is certainly possible, thank God.

 

[remer]

But his value isn't high.

Other teams do have scouts.



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

Well there are a lot of UFA pieces and teams who need to load up for a playoff run tend to over pay. Coyle and Carlo are good players to bring back decent returns. Plus we have LTIR space. $$$$.
It might finally be a year where we are not giving away assets but gaining for the retool.
