BRUINS GDT Free Agent Frenzy - July 1 NOON (ET) - ESPN+, TSN, SN
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
Now the 'fun' begins.
The biggest lie EVERY NHL GM says is the goal is to win the Cup. The reality is the goal is a chance to play for the Cup come April.
The Atlantic for the past few years has been a division of haves and bottom feeders. The 3 teams with the longest playoff drought all come from the Atlantic but Detroit and Buffalo are getting closer as is Poutneville.
Tampa Bay 'could' be at the end of their run, Florida has been to the SCF the last 2 years and that will catch up to them, and Toronto is Toronto.
Are the Bruins still a Top 3 in the Atlantic?
I'm not sure what to expect in the next 72 hours.

I’ve been expecting it to happen and calling for it long enough now, so now I’ll go the opposite and say they’ll do enough in free agency to push doomsday off for another season.
Whether they build a true contender or not? I dunno.
I don’t think the parity has ever been stronger in this league. The B’s have enough blocks to build around if they are smart in free agency.
As always, target the biggest fish and the bargain bin. Stay away from the middle tier guys who almost always get overpaid and for too long of term.
The wild card here is what Swayman gets paid.
I read Shesterkin wants almost $13m per.
So Swayman is worth what in comparison?
I would not be surprised if the bruins are still using a fax machine

TP70BruinsCup
Let’s Go Bruins👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
High Noon - just like when the shooting used to start in all the John Wayne movies!!!
head to TSN, the Leafs are signing all the top free agents They are hoping three signing can fill 6 holes
Get Lindholm and Zadorov and make it work this year. Those deals will look better when the cap is at 100 million and beyond.
Not a big fan of paying the amount Lindholm is rumored to be looking for.
Solid player yes but 8m? yikes.
Would be thrilled if we can get Zadorov, he instantly changes the culture back there.

I think we’re going to see most players getting big contracts this free agency many teams have money to spend and GM’s like to spend when they have it,and cap,expected to keep increasing.With Lindholm it’s the amount of years that concern me .

Someone is going to give Lindholm an awful deal. Hope it's not us.

You would think it’s $6-8 range so only talking a couple of million , really surprised they haven’t gotten it done yet maybe length of contract is the problem, or possibly one or both aren’t in this window.If that’s the case this could drag on.
I think he won’t be the only one who gets a deal we think is nuts ,these GM’s can be like sailors on leave when they have money to spend.lol

If there both in the same kind of window I suggested it should,if there not it could be awhile.

Have the Bruins under Sweeney ever let one of their players get to free agency and then still signed him?
Normally I’m against the Bruins throwing big money at players during FA but given the lack of a number one center, you have to throw everything you got at Lindholm and hope he works out. You just can’t compete without something there.
