Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread XX

Bruins are a few more losses from being in 5-6 territory

2 1/2 weeks to go they could end up 4

Nashville blows a win just when I was thinking 3 could happen

It’s always been McQueen but …..

This is just a guestimate

Boston could possibly end up with another 5 - 10 points. Of course zero is always possible, but so are unexpected upsets - for any team.

Teams lower than Boston and an estimate of how many more points they could possibly get based on schedule.
( ) = points behind or ahead of Boston morning of 3/28/25

( 0 ) Pittsburgh: 5 - 10 points

( -1 ) Seattle: 4 - 8 points

( -2 )Philadelphia: 6 - 12 points

( -3 ) Buffalo 5 - 10 points

( -7 ) Nashville: 6 - 12 points

Teams currently in front of Boston.

( +1 ) Anaheim: 6 - 12 points

( +3 ) Detroit: 4 - 8 points

( +4 )Columbus: 8 - 16 points

( +5 ) Rangers: 5 - 10 points

( +5 ) Islanders: 5 - 10 points

( +6 ) Utah : 5 - 10 points

( +6 ) Montreal: 6 - 12 points
 
Amazing in the year after the bridge year where this was THE year to get back to being a true contender they are picking top 8. We want this group leading this rebuild?

He had 100 points once and has averaged less than 73 points over his 6 full seasons. And an $11.6 million cap hit ( for 7 more seasons ) is a lot to pay for that kind of production. :nod:

Yea if Boston is including their 1st being a bad team I expect salary retention.Last I saw he is injured as well and never heard what that is.Looks like a really good player but consistency matters at those cap hits.
 
Was readingTrent Frederic is heading on doubtful he plays b4 playoffs.If true then the Oilers never needed no salary retention they could have placed him on LTIR.This means Sweeney did excellent on this deal because the price would have probably been less.
 
Seeing another post about the Wild trading Marco Rossi. I know hes not tall enough for most of you but its the kind of situation the Bruins should be all in on.

Our 2025 should be off the table unless someone is trading a young 1C, I'd trade Toronto's 2026 1st pick though and (if it becomes one) Florida's 2027/28 as part of a package. I wonder if they have had any advanced conversations with any teams like Seattle around Matty Beniers or Anahiem around McTavish. Beniers hasnt earned that contract yet but they probably aren't rushing to trade him either thinking that perhaps Wright will overtake him eventually. Anahiem has McTavish playing on the third line and Zegras playing wing. No reason they cant have a Carlsson - Zegras - Strome Center lineup and trade McTavish. But for a team that has an abundance of futures it needs to be a player for player swap.

Still seems like the most logical trade to make.

Buddy, he’s averaged ~pp/g every year or better, and has reached 100 pts which less than 1% of the league can say. Pasta has only reached 100 twice, , has had a far better team/linemates around him his whole career, AND is older! Pete scored his first 100 quicker, and Vans locker room/team is completely ruined, more so than ours considering our injuries and the fact that we are just playing half of PVD right now. You guys are so weird about 1st round picks it’s astonishing, always wanting them for our JAGs but never willing to give them up for franchise players. Did you see what we just got for Carlo??? Firsts are not precious at all, especially after the top 10. He would be neck and neck with Marner this summer if he was a UFA. The chances of us actually getting him are slim, but seriously touch grass if you think future firsts are untouchable and Pete isn’t worth one.

Pettersson. Somone said they felt like Sway would be a Canuck, I said “maybe a package around Sway, Mittelstadt/lindholm, and a 1st for Pete and a Canuck goalie” as the main pieces and was told that we shouldn’t trade any of our 2026 1st round picks, and then was told Pete wasn’t worth one.

This is a pretty bad read of the situation.

Not really. It's all I read during that summer how losing Bergeron, Krejci, Hall, Bertuzzi and Orlov would cause a step back (understandably) and a bridge to this season when they would have plenty of money to get back to where they should be. Not how it worked out so of course that's not what it was now, I get it.

His down year is a .7ppg player with Jake DeBrusk and Boeser as wingers. What would be his ppg with Pasta as a winger?

If there is actually a trade to make that happen you do it.

Petterson and Marner talk ugghh! Can't you guys see that these two cannot contribute in the playoffs. They're too small with no grit at all. Hard pass on both for me.

Marner is nearly a point a game player throughout his career in the playoffs and leads the leafs during that time and was arguably Team Canada best player at the 4 nations. Far stretch saying he doesn't step up when it matters most.

What, approach do you propose? For all that wanted a tear down, and rebuild, look at some of the playoff droughts that are still in progress Buffalo 13 years, and part of that streak they had Jack Eichel, Detroit, 8 years with a Dylan Larkin, Ottawa, 7 years with Brady Thachuk, Anaheim, 6 years with all that young talent. I was against a tear down, or whatever you want to call it, but bottom line, unless Donnie is proactive, we will all suffer, and maybe we will not get to watch Pasta, much longer.

He's not wrong. Everyone here called the season after the failed cup run as the "bridge/cap hell", and a major upward trajectory was expected the year after.

Shhhh, we are pretending that didn’t happen. If that’s what it was then we may need to hold the GM responsible

Man I like Rossi, I’m excited to see him in the playoffs, but he’s better left as your 2c given his size. To acquire via trade would cost a decent amount that could be used elsewhere, and to offer sheet him enough to make the Wild balk and need to keep the money for Kirill next year would maybe be more than we should give for another center at the moment when we have more pertinent needs at the wing.

I’d like to add, Poitras is two years younger, with some similar waterbug + creative playmaker traits as Rossi, and would probably put up the similar numbers as him when he’s that old, if he was playing with those linemates. Poitras is actually ahead of Rossi development wise at the same age. If you didn’t currently have Lindholm anchoring you down/ Poitras developing well/ just grabbed Middelstadt/ have Zacha and Geekie (hopefully) as backup centers already, it might be a different story.
