Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XVII

Yes and he is very, very expensive.

He wasn't worth the money

 

[yazmybaby]

Viel showed me nothing in the Wild game that warrants that he is a 4th line player.

Well no one did a cheap shot on Pasta while he was here because he is so scary....lol

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Didn't Divver say he though Merk was a showcase call-up last week? I hope not

He was jamming hard in front of the net and was physical, what else did you want to see? He did his job

If it was then he didn't exactly make the greatest impression during his showcase - didn't even get a shot on goal against the Wild.

That why the brought him up because he is scary, lol give it a rest. He did his job, he spent more time in from of the goalie than Beecher and Koepkie have all season in one game.

Hopefully he will be back next game as Im sure he will be.

He almost scored.The puck actually ended up in the net but whistle was blown.

He was also hemmed in a lot , looks to small and slow to be an NHL regular.

 

[jmon1313]

Really don' know if that's an attack or a defense of him.

I like Lindholm, it's pretty obvious somethings wrong/injured with his hands but he's had a good compete and been much more physical than I expected. Opponents seem to really dislike him which IMO is a good sign.

Hopefully he takes the time and gets the treatment he needs to get his hands right and comes back to a full training camp before next season starts.

Wasn't really meant to be either, they've had good teams paying Coyle what they've paid him to be a 3c.

If you Elias does get healthy he could be a good 2c. If not as he has been this year, I don't think there's a ton of complaints with him being your 3c.

Was it an overpay, yep, so was Coyle. Unlike during Coyle's contract the cap is going up though.

Hard to make an impression when the entire team failed to show

That's some showcase

 

[Ladyfan]

Pastrnak and Zacha are staying as they should.


Marchy is going to stay unless he specifically comes out and requests and I don't see that happening. He will be afforded the opportunity of controlling his destination. He has earned that right.

Good Post

Not sure, but I know Allred did

 

[dugg133]

Maybe someone that knows more then me about the cap can help me, but is there any point to paper transactions considering we're already in LTIR and not accruing space because of that?

 

[The don godfather]

Get ready for Brazzeau for a 4th and the end of the trade deadline.

 

[22Brad Park]

Good Post

This is what scares me the most.

 

[Absurdity]

i haven't watched much of calgary this year, but always liked sharangovich and he's not having
the best year numbers-wise. if bruins are trading D, they need help up front. and that guy checks a
lot of boxes. can skate, has skill, can score and is dangerous on the PK.

Sharangovich was a scratch last night and hasn't been the most productive the past 10 games or so for the Flames, but he would be the 2nd best shooter on this team. He has also played on a line with Lindholm. Forward having a down year for a defenseman having a down year would make for a good deal.

 

[JAD]

How?

Are you trading Pasta, and McAvoy?

Because you aren't finishing near last if those 2 are healthy.

Every player on this team should be available ... Pastrnak? It would take a massive overpayment to the point that i couldn't say no.

McAvoy I would seriously listen to all serious offers. While he has the potential to play like a number 1 defenseman (see four nations canada game), from my point of view he is damaged goods. His shoulder may be a problem for him the rest of his career.

Unfortunately, that's the way it goes sometimes with shoulder injuries. The question is - is he worth more to the Bruins playing 50 - 70 games a year or what they could aquire from another team if he were traded? It all depends on what is coming back. McAvoy does have a no movement so he could say no if asked.

But every player should be available for the proper price.

However, it's beginning to feel like Sweeney thinks every player on this team has a no trade no movement agreement in their contract. Is he waiting until the last 15 minutes Friday before doing anything? He should have done something a couple of months ago to give this team a fighting chance, then. Lame that he didn't. So, this week into the deadline may end up like the rest of the season underwhelming.

I would rather Zary but doubt they would part with him.Sharangovich can shoot but not type player to get nose dirty.You need someone to get him the puck. He has a wicked shot though as I alluded to above and can skate.

Without getting into all the math and logistics, the simple answer is yes.

Was browsing through Bruins cap situation etc earlier & saw they are paying Mike Reilly 1.33 million.Add in the 2 million for Max Jones & and Oliver Walstrom & it's 3.33 million down the tube's.That is tough stuff in a cap world fighting for last WC spot.

Jones and Wahlstrom are both fully buried in the minors and Reilly's buyout comes off the books this summer and it didn't really stop us from making the signing we wanted to last summer anyway. There's plenty of real things to be mad about with this team, those don't matter.

 

[The Storm]

If you can get a 1st round pick for Carlo, I would trade him.

I am not mad I just see it as a waste of cap.

If you can get a 1st round pick for Carlo, I would trade him.
