Fantasyland ? How can it be fantasy land, when its an actual draft and a top prospect being taken? No one is saying its going to be fixed over night. Its more of a fantasy to think this current Boston bruins roster without the luxury of having a high pick is gong to be all "Hunky-dory", but to each their own.
Did you just wake up wanting to fight people this morning?
Well I hope they lose every remaining game and making 17 straight losses and they get 1st overall in the draft. Which safe to say you’d be rooting against whomever they’d pick at 1 success?
I don't ~want~ them to be there. I think they could naturally just be there. They can't score goals and no one is coming to help with that.
There’s a whooping number of about 0 people talking about some draft pick saving the franchise.
That's like voting against your own best interest. It still amazes me how many illinformed people are out there!
In fairness, we've also seen some free agents who've signed here, "bust" and/or "perform" well below expectations as well (i.e Lindholm, Elias specifically). I don't wish for this team to actively lose. However, if losing helps our chances at obtaining younger, skillful & high potential via the draft, what isn't there to be optimistic about?
And we have seen FA signings suck
I don't think anyone is rooting for them to lose. This team is AHL quality, so having to cheer against them is not needed! I think we will be fine when our 2 best D are back, new players added are fully integrated, players in Providence are promoted, and we pick up the odd UFA to fill holes! Anyone thinking that this years draft pick will be in the lineup next season are fooling themselves! However, if we stay at 4OA or move up we will definitely get a player that will be in the lineup before Pasta starts the downward spiral.
The solution is suck next year also and then in the off season sign a couple of difference makers. They arentvready this offseason. I wouldn’t try this upcoming year.
I’m absolutely rooting for them to lose. For two more weeks.
and will that be worth it when we continue on a Buffalo Sabre style rebuild. I’d rather have a bad record for 20 games than 10 years.
It makes no difference though if DS picks with the same mindset as 2015! If he picks from a reputable source and not try to be the smartest person in the room, then we will get an impact player!
Well, I’d like our GM to try to be as smart as possible. Seems like a worthwhile goal.
I don't think no one wants that, but there's better than a 50% chance imo come next years deadline thats where their at. (Selling)

I’m not saying I agree with it, but I think it stems from the fact that Sweeney comes off as a bit of a nerd, he holds his cards close to the vest, he’s awkward with the media at times. He’s not very personable (publicly). And of course there’s the 2015 draft where he reached on a specific player.
They need to be bad next year as well but there’re roster is ok when fully staffed. They will be a middling team next year. I’d rather be a bad team again.I don't think no one wants that, but there's better than a 50% chance imo come next years deadline thats where their at. (Selling)
I know there's people out-there who feel an add here or there and they'll be fine with a healthy squad, which may be true, but ill play a wait see approach, because unless they sign Marner, you have ehlers and Boeser who can put the puck in the net and there will be a whole lot of teams vying for the services. To put it mildly I dont see this team turning this around in one off-season.
Which bottom dweller NHL team is most likely to make the playoffs next season?
These teams disappointed massively in 2024-25 but could trend back up dramatically in 2025-26.
Matt LARKIN: I can’t shake the idea that the Boston Bruins are playing possum. On the surface, we see a tanker team that sold off Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo and others at the Trade Deadline and has since sunk to last in the Eastern Conference. But the Bruins are still committed to David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, Jeremy Swayman, Hampus Lindholm and, whether they like it or not, Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov long-term. They also have more than $27 million in projected cap space to play with next season. Add in a possible top-five pick…and the Bruins could reload far quicker than some people realize.
Me to.I want the highest pick they can get to increase teams chances of landing the best player they can .
