No cap, Gillis had a ton of cap since Nonis didn’t do shit.
Benning left behind like a bunch of cap anchors and no anything.
That's because he let Naslund walk and sent Liden to retirement. Both very good decisions since Linden wanted another year despite the fact that he could barely skate and got beat up Zack Stortini of all people. Nonis would have given Nazzy the 2x5 that NY gave him plus he would have given Linden another year.

yes, but Nonis didn't do some stupid ass shit such as trading for Brad Richards and giving up 1st Edler and Kesler and we had Benning trading a 9OA for a anchor in OEL.

Honestly the only reason I ever supported that deal was because of Garland. But it was a f***ing trojan horse of a deal that has hurt us spectacularly as many had predicted.

Ehlers - Chytil - Lekkerimaki
Joshua - Bennett - Sherwood
O’Connor - Blueger - Karlsson

i think that lineup sorely needs another right handed centerman. especially on their strong side during pk moments/ offensive zone time. No to brock boeser. basically same lineup but with two new additions. where is debrusk?
 
Going to get so much flack for this but if Boston is looking to retool...

How crazy would it be to re-acquire Elias Lindhom?

Maybe Boston retains $1M and we give back Chytil.

We know how much the management and coaching group loves Lindholm. Zacha and Middlestadt looks to be their future 1-2. Boston probably wants to get rid of Lindholm given their retool. $1M to retain is peanuts given the cap increases.

This would put Lindholm at $6.75M. He doesn't need to come in and score 70/80 points to be worth that contract. If he's a solid two-way center that can play 20 minutes, matchup against top line players, and score 50 points, he'll be mostly worth that money. I think Garland would work great with him since Lindholm isn't really a play driver, more of a supplementary guy on the offensive side of things. He was an odd fit for us last year because we already had Miller and Petey, but now the 2C spot is wide open and fits him perfectly.

I know it's a crazy thought, but given the options available, I don't think it's that outlandish.

I like the player but that contract is not going to age well at all. He'd still be making close to 7m/year and is year 1 of SEVEN in that contract.

Would rather look elsewhere if we are going the route of trade for a top 6 forward but no idea who to target really.

For the bottom 6 - I'd like them to bring in some more sandpaper for cheap. Guys like Lorentz, Brazeau or Eyssimont would be worth a look in UFA

Allvin must thank his lucky rabbit's foot every day, that he got outbid for the services of both Lindholm and Zadorov.

And unless the Bruins were willing retain half of Lindholm's salary, I wouldn't even think about acquiring that albatross contract. He's probably not going anywhere--and likely becomes the Bruins equivalent of Louie Eriksson.

I’ve thought the same thing.
He will be 31 next season so that’s less than ideal…if they’d be willing to swallow a little more than a million, with how desperate we are going to have to Beto make the playoffs to keep Quinn, and given how few centers are available (not to mention the acquisition cost), I think it’s worth exploring.

Boston has really struggled to put up points. After Pastrnak the 2nd leading scorer on the team has 41 points in 69 games.

I’ll also throw this out there: I think a great buy low candidate is Peyton Krebs.
At 1.5 million he’s a nice replacement for Pius Suter next year (if we decide to pass on doubling his AAV), but he also still has some upside (getting out of Buffalo alone could account for some improvement!).

Krebs has turned himself into a reliable player in his own end of the ice, plays the PK, has improved in the faceoff circle and has added a pest element to his game.
Having a guy whose strength is his playmaking to pair with Lekkerimaki might put both of them in a position to succeed.
Worst case scenario if it doesn’t work you have still acquired a cheap 4th line center.

Fantasy lineup that probably wouldn’t even fit under the cap.
 
Did you guys know Mancini received a harsh punishment :lol:

Boston would have to retain close to 3M for me to be remotely interested. Lindholm in the 5M range is fine, reasonable even. Anything above that and there are just better alternatives.
 
Bennett contract will age like milk, he doesn't come with Tkachuk included.

Ehlers meanwhile is hovering around PPG with Vlad Namestnikov as his C and Cole Perfetti


Biggest concern with Ehlers is is atrocious playoff stats

Ehlers’ underlying playoff numbers aren’t great, but he’s also had pretty awful EV SH% luck - 2.8% individual SH% and 4.6% on-ice. He might be worse in the playoffs but not that much worse.

well he's been in the playoffs 6 times already so I am not sure you can attribute that to luck but I also believe that players really only need 1 good playoff series to really figure out how to be good in the playoffs.
