Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XVIII ( if trades occur use specific trade thread)

[Gordoff]

Very expensive re-signing of Olivier ($3m) and Greenway ($4m).

For another $750K the Bruins have Lindholm.

 

[DKH]

For another $750K the Bruins have Lindholm.

Greenway contract should have been about 2,5 M

I feel @FONZIE 's pain, We spend a small fortune seeing them in Dallas this year and it was a shambles. We had planned to make the trip to Raleigh this week to visit my brother and catch the Bruins while they were in town, but decided against it given how crappy the team has been playing.

Both games against Dallas were very one-sided I felt, especially the game in Dallas. Weren't even close.

I’d rather they exhaust what they have in the system than bring in another waiver claim and keep the contract slot open for a College FA.

I think they have like 6 slots available

All I know is if Charlie Coyle is still on the team after the deadline then I'll be massively disappointed. At least with Carlo you know he has a role on this team but Coyle isn't even playing center anymore and he isn't good enough to be in the top six. He doesn't fit like he used to.

With so many teams looking for center help and it appearing like a sellers market, move Coyle.

I think you could pull a decent package from the Devils with maybe some retention.

Coyle would most certainly pull a good package but I won’t be disappointed if he’s still on the team. The bruins can trade him in the summer and or next trade deadline.

 

[Bruin4]

Greenway at 4 million makes lindholm contract feel like peanuts.

Don its for 2 years and they have to over pay somewhat just to get them to stay. Its Buffalo

If the Bruins weren't so weak at LD this season, I wouldn't have been shocked if Lohrei got sent down when he hit rough patches.

Lohrei needed to clear waivers once they got to early-mid December, he wasn't going anywhere after that, regardless of their situation on LD.

 

[Dizzay]

I really want Coyle gone. On a contender, he's a 3C and we have cheaper options who can slot in there.

I want us to have the space to land 2 of the likes of Rantanen, Bennett, Byfield, Zegras, etc
I want us to sign a guy like Pionk as well.

Korp just doesn't impress me, actually scares me so if we can unload him, bonus.

 

[Bruin4]

If these reports actually have legs, Id expect a scratch or two tonight, if not a trade before hand

 

[ON3M4N]

Decent but vrana is more intriguing I think he can pop some points on the side with pasta.

I'd have no problem taking a look at Vrana. He was a guy I wanted them to sign in the off-season. I thought when Monty was here it would be a perfect spot for Vrana. Both he and Monty have battled demons. Monty could have been a big help to Vrana as he continues his journey after coming out of the program.

Lohrei needed to clear waivers once they got to early-mid December, he wasn't going anywhere after that, regardless of their situation on LD.

Sweeney would have known that and sent him down before he needed to clear waivers

 

[Blowfish]

I blame Blades for the Bruins bad fortunes. I purchased this mug to start the season. F Blades.

 

[ranold26]

All the conditions of a big trade or multiple trades are there. We have assets that teams covet, it’s a sellers market, our team has contracts room and cap room, we’re closer to a rebuild than being a contender……. The only real question is can SweeNeely get Brad to want to go for a cup run. They need to get this done or our retool will be much longer.
Blow it up now, benefit much sooner.

Korpisalo seems more like an offseason move - not sure how many playoff teams are looking for a backup goaltender or would think he's better than their starter.

Hell not to many will think hes better than their back-up
