BRUINS GDT Free Agent Frenzy - July 1 NOON (ET) - ESPN+, TSN, SN

[wintersej]

So let’s say you bring in Lindholm and Zadorov.

Are you better off with:

Zacha Lindholm Pasta
Marchand Coyle Lysell
Frederic Poitras Geekie
(With Merkulov in the mix too)

Or trading Coyle and bringing in a higher quality winger like Marchassault?

Zacha Lindholm Pasta
Marchand Poitras Marchassault
Frederic Geekie Merkulov/Lysell

So essentially everyone is not worth a contract according to that guy

Great lol

Obviously lots of guys not on that list, but he also specifically said "long term" contracts. Just found it interesting because I think he's a good analyst.

 

[UncleRico]

I just can’t wait until the Bruins are good again so this process isn’t just full of miserable people complaining about the team non stop. Hopefully jn the next few years.

We are all equally excited for this process to be done so we don’t have to listen to you be miserable and complain how every FA that someone in here suggests, sucks according to you.

Any chance we trade Coyle?

I don’t think he would have great trade value around the league plus management seems to love him.

 

[wintersej]

I would have rather given out that deal than Lindholm at 7.5.

But obviously the player has their say, too.

 

[bbfan419]

Stephenson- 5x5.5m
Zadorov- 5x5m
Stamkos- 4x5m
Maroon- 1x1m
Swayman- 8x7m

Zacha-Stephenson-Pastrnak
Marchand-Poitras-Stamkos
Frederic-Coyle-Geekie
Beecher-Kastelic-Brazeau
Maroon

Zadorov-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Lohrei-Peeke
Wotherspoon

Swayman
Korpisalo

I like it except for Maroon, he is toast, sign Jeff Kinner or if you want more muscle someone like Carrier or Blais.

[email protected] with a shallow shallow UFA class I think would be by far your best shot at getting value.

 

[Sigh]

I don't get this. Why? He was a PPG player 2 years ago, and in a bad year had 24 goals and 46 points last year. I wouldn't want to lock him up super long term for big money, but is you get him 2-3 years in the 3-4 million range, that would be a massive win

Just my humble opinion, but he might be the softest player in the league. I’ve never liked him, so I’d rather Donny passes.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Lindholm and Zadorov are huge adds. Just don't Insanely overpay

I don't even care if we overpay, because you know we will. I just want guys who can make a real impact, these guys can. Would be very pleased if Sweeney can pull this off.

Sign me up but that’s no surprise

 

[Number8]

Making me work on the most sacred of days, Bobby Bonilla Day, is an atrocity even without NHL free agency.

I wonder what Bobby does each July 1. Has to be something super fun, right? I don't care how rich you are, that's just an amazing way to start your summer each year.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Lindholm and Zadorov are huge adds. Just don't Insanely overpay

Does adding those two make the Bruins a legitimate contender?

 

[the negotiator]

Tampa makes the changes it sees as necessary and moves on

Tough minded management which is a plus but how it managed Stamkos was disappointing ..,beginning to see a trend that LV started of worrying less about player relationships and more about money and term ( also see Rangers and Trouba and Goodrow)

Will be interesting to see in the long run how this approach plays out

 

[Hookslide]

Donny gonna be active that fax machine is ready to go. Book it!

I hope you are right DON, but why do I, always feel Sweeney is a day behind everyone else.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

My wishlist: Lindholm, Zadorov/OEL and Stamkos. Let's see how disappointed I'll be at the end of the day

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

I like Lomberg, dont think there is a fit unless he flips with Beecher or Brazzeau as the extra forward. Just think he'd make a fan favorite. Kastellic and Lomberg would be a problem line for opponents.

 

[Hookslide]

Does adding those two make the Bruins a legitimate contender?

No! and depending on the cost it could be a disaster for this team's future.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I think Bertuzzi is just trying to play for every O6 franchise.

Tampa has always done this...Lecavalier, Richard's and now Stamkos.

Not popular, but they are willing to make big changes

I am still waiting for an invite to his party. I have 11 more years.

But obviously the player has their say, too.

Reality is if compared to the Guentzel and Reinhart deals, Lindholm should be somewhere around 6 million for 5 years.

But Free Agent Frenzy isn't based in reality.

 

[Fenian24]

I think he is soft and lazy as well, sadly Donnie loves soft so he has a good chance of winding up a Bruin by the end of the day
