OT: All Bruins All Anything Thread

[ODAAT]

DS mentioned that would like to address lw position. Do you think he might revisit Gabriel Landy again??

yes, think the grunt work done at/near the deadline

I still say no to Carlo/McAvoy being sent to Colorado. I'd also like to see us move out some salary before making a big splash for the top 6 or it's going to be really uncomfortable. Both Beleskey and Hayes would have to be moved out/buried somehow and one of McQuaid/KMiller/CMiller to be picked up by the Knights in the expansion draft.

Marchand -- Bergeron -- Bjork

Landeskog -- Krejci -- Pasta

DeBrusk -- Backes -- Nash

Blidh -- Kuraly -- Acciari

13th forward: Schaller


Krug -- Carlo

Chara -- McAvoy

Morrow -- KMiller

7th dman: O'Gara


Rask
Doby

I think that's cap compliant but I didn't check. Again, assuming we can somehow get out of ( mostly ) of the Beleskey/Hayes contracts and that Vatrano/CMiller are part of a deal to the Avs, it might work. I don't think it's realistic though.

 

[DitClapper]

Every team left in these playoffs has an enforcer rolling a regular shift on the 4th line. The Bruins need one.

 

[Pia8988]

Who's the enforcer on the Penguins or Ottawa?

No chance those two go. They can't sustain big money players coming in. They need a affordable players who can play.

Name them.

Reaves & Kassian can play on my team any day of the week. Wish the Bruins still carried a guy up front that's part psycho.

NORTH SMITHFIELD, R.I. — The Bruins have numerous holes in their lineup. One is at left wing. This summer, general manager Don Sweeney will have various methods at his disposal to plug the holes. He could make a trade. He could go the expensive free agency route.

But there are a couple of young players in Providence who surely hope Sweeney finds his guy — or guys — in-house. And right now, they’re putting their best feet forward toward earning a good, long look in training camp.

Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen followed up strong debut pro seasons with good first-round playoff performances for the AHL Bruins. They both get more chances to impress the Bruins brass when they open a best-of-seven series against the Hershey Bears tomorrow.

They do and he plays on their first line.

 

[Paddington]

Bergy seems pretty levelheaded to me

 

[DitClapper]

Name them.

Nashville carries two: Watson and McLeod
St. Louis: Reaves
Anaheim: Boll
Edmonton: Kassian
Washington: Wilson
New York: Glass

I guarantee we will see Chris Neil make his debut today for the Senators after Glass thoroughly dominated their entire squad.

So who does that leave Pittsburgh?

Toronto's going to soon be the team to beat and they consistently dress Martin (Whose had a monster influence on the youth).

Reaves and Glass I'll give you. Wilson and Kassian both have 20 point seasons recently and bring more than just the fighting. Boll however averaged under 6 minutes, only played 51 games and isnt dressing in the playoffs. He dressed for game 2 against Edmonton and played a staggering 4 minutes. That isnt a regular shift.

Bringing more than fighting doesn't mean they are not enforcers.

No, it means they are more than them. I would rather Wilson or Kassian skating on the 4th line versus McLeod for example.

This is great, we have some terrific talent blooming right now, and DeBrusk/Heinen will likely contribute next year... But they will on a 3rd line level.

Love that they're up and coming but we need a legit, proven top-6 winger. Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak is our only offensive line right now.

Marchand/Bergeron/Pastrnak/Krejci/Backes/X is a good top-6, but it's completely dependent on who that X is. You have elite talent in 37, 63, and 88. Krejci and Backes had down years but hopefully they'll rebound. If X is Vatrano or DeBrusk/Heinen, kiss the 2nd line away again.

 

[DitClapper]

Exactly right.
