Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XX

[Sheppy]

LOL

I don't mind the player, but that's a steep price tag.

He is having a damn solid season, though.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Also amazing that they missed the playoffs two years in a row with those guys and haven't missed them since this group took over.

Chara suffered a knee injury in '14-15 and #88 only scored 10 and 15 goals in those two years they DNQ as an 18\19 year old and in his 3rd season, he broke out to 34G 70P which explains them stopping the DNQ skid. So its not really amazing they DNQ two years in a row.

 

[Carl Hungus]

LOL

9m? sheesh

 

[BamBamCam]

Am I hallucinating or was there a team that traded something to the team before them one year at the draft so they didn’t draft a certain player, and he fell one slot lower?

1982 Bruins got Brad Palmer from Minnesota, so they wouldn't Draft Bellows if I recall.

If I remember correctly they spit the bit both years, pissing away a playoff spot in the last few games.

For sure: in 15 they needed to win in the last game against Ottawa to get in and they choked.

 

[Gordoff]

I do wonder what a realistic number is though. I know top 5 is probably not happening. Senses tell me 8-9. But the way these guys are playing makes me wonder if it'll be maybe a smidge higher. Food for thought I suppose.

Sounds delicious.

 

[Dr Hook]

Here's one for the roster thread speculation: what would it look like for the Bruins to trade Swayman over the summer and go with Korpi and ?? next season? It won't be anyone in Providence, so they'd need to get another goalie. The UFA market doesn't look great, but Georgiev could be a possibility. Maybe another trade? I don't really think they will move on from Swayman at this point, but you never know.

 

[easton117]

I’d offer Marner $15 mil and see if he bites.

Hopefully draft a stud in the top 10 and hope to god some of these young players/prospects take a massive leap.

Just wait a year and drive that McDavid guy up to the vault and tell him to take whatever he wants.

I think he might pan out that guy!

They weren't good enough to beat out Pittsburgh & Detroit in those years because of what I mentioned earlier. Detroit still had Datsyuk and Zetterberg while Pitt still had
a prime Crosby & Malkin. Not only the Chara injury did them in, so didn't losing Boychuk before the season started in the trade.

Just weren't good enough due to Chara injury and #88 being too young.

 

[LJReborn]

Threshold that they couldn't get over twice in a row

Where is Sweeney’s two cups in three years including a championship? Now they suck. I remember the mantra here “23-24 is the retooling year then look out”. Lol. Look out for what? The wheels falling off?

First is was the holdout. Then the coach. Then the players were ALL in terrible shape, then the captain stunk, then the new coach sucked, then the leadership was jettisoned (a move I applauded whole heartedly), now the remaining guys have totally quit. Will the fault ever work its way up the chain of command?

I mean it’s 1.25 more than Elias Lindholm. Glass houses and all that

Well apparently we knew they were chokers all the way back then yet the GM held on to them

That's some serious hindsight bias

They blew up the team with the intention of getting multiple young players and picks - the objective a 5 week tank and hopefully get a top 10 pick

Blowing up kind of means they are going to suck

McAvoy & Lindholm could return but won’t till next season

They added 10 picks/prospects

My boy on the inside already told me Marchsnd and Sweeney already got a deal in place

Booooowhhhhoooo Bruins fans suffering for 35 days

as far as retools go this will end up the gold standard looking back in 1 year

Thank you Donny

Of course they will suck now. I agree with the “blow up”. Why should they be the ones rebuilding? What are we thanking Donny for? I thank him for getting rid of Marchand coyle and Carlo for sure. Am I thanking him for getting past round 2 once in a decade? That’s where I’m lost. Now we start another decade with this management team? When is their comeuppance?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

That's some serious hindsight bias

Hindsight bias? Nonsense, just what was the reality of those seasons. .

 

[DKH]

Same guy that told Hanafin Eichel and Necas are all Boston Bound GMAFB

Whoa !!!!
Lets get this right
I had
Stone
Eichel
Hertl
Hanifin

GMAFB??

Give me a F’n break

Is that right

Also Necas I’m on the fence since the trade

 

[LJReborn]

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here

This brass has kicked the can down the road for a decade now. Not winning a cup in that time has been the fault of Julien, Cassidy, Montgomery, Montgomerys kid, Sacco, a multitude of players, out of shape players, injured players, bad contracts, bad leadership…..why does this group get to build the next version of the Bruins?

We not counting the days before the trade deadline?

(For the record, I'm not suffering. Like I said Sweeney did the right thing at the deadline and I hope they lose every game the rest of the way and win the lottery so our next GM can hit the ground running.)

For sure: in 15 they needed to win in the last game against Ottawa to get in and they choked.

No, that was 2016 they lost to Ottawa in their last game when Rask couldn't play.
That B's team was the definition of mediocre, winning 2 more games than they lost.
