bad day for the Boqvist boys

 

[The don godfather]

Lindholm is 29 not a bad age to give a long term contract. 6 years would be sweet.

 

[khanomcat]

Tim Conway. Many a split gut over him!

Offer him a cheap deal and there is your JDB replacement

 

[YNWABoston]

Leafs are out on Zadorov, based on reports last night, Bruins could be the most likely landing spot for him at this point.

Cheap is good, but is he any more consistent than Jake?

Is this a bit?

 

[TCB]

Hopefully Sweeney and the pro scouting dept. find some good bargains again this year.

Different circumstances from last year. Just don’t think you’ll see the bargains this yr. A year ago teams had very little cap space league wide, not so much this year.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Depends how far away you thought they were last season.

I think they were pretty far away, yet they had a ton of regular season success and won a round with Zacha, Coyle, and Geekie.

They can argue that they get Poitras back and that he’ll continue to grow into a T6 center role.

Assuming DeBrusk walks, you’ve got a hole at wing in addition to an aging Marchand.

In a vacuum, it looks like they’ve got money to burn, but when you factor in Swayman’s new deal, it’s going to evaporate quickly.

So do you go value across the board to fill needs or do you land one big fish and shop in the bargain bin again and get the next Heinen and Van Reimsdyk?

They are two centers better than Coyle, a winger within hailing distance of Verhaege
and a Dman the equivalent of OEL away. 2022-23 Lindholm was certainly better than OEL P, but he ain't coming back. Goaltending is the only position Boston matches up.

I don't see any wingers approaching CV available so the best route to me is go after both Stephenson and Lindholm hard to make sure you get one and look into Vrana.

four years x $6M AAV per season for Durzi and Utah Utah not afraid to spend money.

Someone check on @Blowfish please


"When" it crashes

Thanks Dom for checking in. No Domi. There goes the cup.

 

[bbfan419]

Cheap is good, but is he any more consistent than Jake?

Maybe not, but if you can get him for say $2M aav, then that allows you more money to fill other holes.

 

[DominicT]

Thanks Dom for checking in. No Domi. There goes the cup.

There you are. I've been worried about you all friggin day. Glad you are okay.

Bruins have a 1st and 3rd in 2025...

Jake Bean did not get a QO from CBJ

Defensmen
Left Shot (can play LD or RD)
6'1 / 190lb
Bean has proven he can run a PP at the minor league level and produce offense.
On occasion he will surprise goalies with his release from the top of the circle / walking to middle of ice to direct pucks on net. Average plus distributor at the NHL level. Better timing required / needs to move puck quicker and not expose himself physically / turn over the play in key areas of the ice.
Generally light player. Not much in the way of physical push back. Average plus skater.
2-way 'D' - Averaging 15:19 TOI - 14:33 ES to start the year. Low end of average defensively.

If only the rest of the league actually thought Pinto was worth as much as Shane does

 

[CDJ]

Bruins have a 1st and 3rd in 2025...

Not interested in giving up both assets and big money for Pinto, he’s not that guy and iirc he has no shoulders

You're thinking of Josh Norris

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I'm keen for Stephenson, Stamkos and Zadorov. Leery about Lindholm but could live with it depending on price. Stay away from overpriced JAGs. Let's see what Donny can do.

 

[Gee Wally]

Everyday is that for me now.
