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

[PlayMakers]

As it stands, I think we're looking at:

18-Elias-88
63-13-39
11-51-55
Jones-19-Kastelic

I think you nailed it Mike. They’re done.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Not worried about Swayman
Contract will come and it will be acceptable.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Edmonton

Arvidsson sign anywhere yet?

 

[BamBamCam]

Arvidsson sign anywhere yet?

Oilers

 

[PatriceBergeron]

The Korpisalo contract is killing them right now.

Desperately need a top 6 winger to play RW but don’t have the cap space to do it

 

[Oates2Neely]

Kastelic
Zadarov
Jones

Nice to have some a-holes in the lineup. Could pay dividends vs Florida in the playoffs

 

[Trashpass]

We still need one more center with offensive ability, so the we can move Coyle down where he is most effective.

If not FA, then I hope they are working on a trade at some point.

With the money they have left they aren't going to get anyone better than Coyle. Poitras is going to get the opportunity to take that spot. It won't be anyone coming via free agency

 

[bbfan419]

Some potential adds at forward: Henrique, Sprong, Tarasenko, Skinner, Pinto and Mcgroarty. Outside chance big trade for Necas.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Give me Pinto or super cheap Henrique and McGoarty and call it a day

Obviously need Sway signed too

 

[Dizzay]

Some potential adds at forward: Henrique, Sprong, Tarasenko, Skinner, Pinto and Mcgroarty. Outside chance big trade for Necas.

I still think we land Necas via trade. Lindholm for Necas

With what?

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with the moves they made today. But this is a team that struggled to score in the playoffs and they haven't improved in that respect. If this is the extent of their offseason additions aside from some more depth moves, which is entirely possible given where they're at with the cap, then it's hard for me to see them fairing much better than they did this postseason.

Yeah, for Coyle to be most effective centering in the top six whatever line he centers would have to drastically change their offensive strategy for him the be effective ... and I don't see the coaching staff doing that. More of the same.

 

[Mione134]

This is low class shit. I wasn't a fan of Gryz at all, but he can't help who his family is. Be better, Bruins fans. Be better.

The same fans who used to bring up JDB, Dad and Mom for some reason.

Weird.

No, it’s not the same. You don’t understand nuance.

 

[HumBucker]

Max Jones - Don't know much about him ... actually know nothin'! But I do like this write up!

Max Jones is a diligent and hard-working power forward capable of being an impact player every shift. He's strong on the puck and routinely looks to create separation. He knows his game inside out and has a wide array of tools at his disposal. Strength and speed allow him to bull his way to the front of the net where he is relentless and creates havoc. Makes smart decisions with the puck and doesn't give the opposition time and space. Possesses high-end finishing ability and "wills" the puck to the back of the net. All-in-all, a determined forward who puts tremendous pressure on his opponents when he's on the ice

Sounds like a ferocious Heinen.

btw, I will miss Heinen. Smart, reliable, flexible player.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Some potential adds at forward: Henrique, Sprong, Tarasenko, Skinner, Pinto and Mcgroarty. Outside chance big trade for Necas.

Tarasenko is a massive upgrade on Geekie on the 2nd line at least and brings size.

 

[Mione134]

No, it’s not the same. You don’t understand nuance.

At least you don't have to worry about eyebrows anymore.

Silver lining

 

[GordonHowe]

Combined with the draft, I profess myself delighted with the free agency signings. Time will tell, but I think they did a very good job all the way around.

They also added a fellow named Max Jones who played for anaheim. He was the 24th overall selection in the 2016 draft. He's 6'2" left-wing.

This. Guy gave us 7 solid years. By all accounts he was a great teammate, well-liked and was involved in the community.

Most, including myself, are happy he's not on the team anymore, but the disrespect is insane. Wish him well, or don't.

The guy just put up 60 points in the exact same role. Those are close to Bergeron/Krecji type numbers. It's not the most ideal spot for him but the way you're talking is he's completely ineffective where he is, which isn't true. Can always add at the trade deadline.

 

[NeelyDan]

My favourite part of our fan base is the large majority understand the fine line between chirps and stupid shit that crosses the line like a player’s dad’s line of work

Also, I could be a much better Ryan Lomberg than Ryan Lomberg
