Speculation: Does Boston rebuild? Whats Charlie McAvoy worth?

[toddkaz]

Does Boston go full rebuild or do they try and do a quick turn around?

If Boston goes full rebuild what is McAvoy worth?

 

[I am Canadian]

Think they try to retool with Pasta, McAvoy, Swayman.

Quite a bit of money to throw around in FA

Foundation is there and now they adding solid prospects and picks with lots of cap space. Excellent retool going on.

 

[TD Charlie]

Probably not as much as Boston would want. He’s not being traded.

 

[Leafshater67]

They won’t move Charlie, pasta or Swayman. I imagine they try to do what Washington did and retool but tbh I’m not sure I see it happening. Lots of teams try that but few actually succeed

 

[miscs75]

Call the Rags and tell Drury to offer up something that isn't damaged goods and AHLers.

Doubt Bruins trade him but Habs offer 3 first round picks?

They were able to retool a decade ago as they did awesome in the draft with Pasta and MacAvoy as cornerstones in 14 and 16.
Will need to hit big again to do another retool.

 

[SnS]

They’re going to retool. Pasta is still elite, McAvoy being healthy, Sway rebounding.

Plus cap.

 

[toddkaz]

The free agents do look very good this year and unlike Buffalo players will want to go to Boston

 

[Petes2424]

Dylan Larkin for McAvoy. The good old randoms we used to see happening when a team addressed their weaknesses thinking they weren’t creating another.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Bruins still have the right pieces. Retool is all they should think about. Picking high in this draft only helps.

If Mitch Marner makes it to free agency they will probably go hard after him (like 10-15 other teams).

 

[Rorschach]

I think they are missing the young, up and coming 1C to be considering a retool.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

I think they are missing the young, up and coming 1C to be considering a retool.

which makes a potential Hagens/Frondell pick even more important (don't see Misa not going 2nd overall).

 

[Wats]

Definitely going to retool after getting a good C in the draft.

 

[BruinLVGA]

which makes a potential Hagens/Frondell pick even more important (don't see Misa not going 2nd overall).

Maybe we win the lottery.

 

[Gizmoskevich]

Boston has a ton of cap space for next year, but also a lot of players to pay/sign.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Boston retool quickly and be back in the playoffs, but I don't think Sweeney is the man for the job.

They can sign Richel in summer 27 or trade for him at the draft.

good thing they'll get one of Misa/Frondell/Desnoyers in a couple months

 

[57special]

McAvoy is 27 yo, not over 30. You keep him. #1 RHD are one of the hardest pieces to find.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

The free agents do look very good this year and unlike Buffalo players will want to go to Boston

The free agency class is absolutely brutal this year outside of Marner. But if Boston wants more Elias Lindholms then by all means.

 

[mjhfb]

I think Boston will keep Pasta, McAvoy, and Swayman as core for rebuild of team next season.
However, IF after adding pieces next season doesn't go well, all bets are off and I wouldn't rule out any/all of them wanting to play for a contender in their back nine.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I think Bruins just need to trade for a centre and retool their lineup a bit.

 

[Gustave]

I think Bruins just need to trade for a centre and retool their lineup a bit.

No offence but that’s under appreciating the difficulty of the operation. It’s a hard thing to pull off.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Feel the B's can retool and be fairly fine for next season. No need to throw in the towel and go full rebuild yet.

Healthy McAvoy/Lindholm, as bad as the Bruins have been I'd bet they'd be in a wild card spot right now if these 2 weren't hurt.
No offseason drama (Swayman)
Geekie-Lindholm-Pasta seems to be finding some chemistry of late.

Let's not forget they'll be coming into next season with hopefully a new coaching staff also. Sacco shouldn't be anywhere near a head coach spot.

Have some $$ to spend also. But really would only be interested in taking a run at Marner or bringing back Marchand from that. Bennett also, but feel he's gonna get his pay day & not sure how that one will age.
