We can still go over the cap by 10% in the summer, right? We can still get Skinner or someone (unless he already signed while I was waiting for the boards to refresh).

Yeah, I don't mind the signing....just amazed at the Bruins reach for size and heft this year. Maybe the Big Bad Bruins
will be back after all! I for one, would not be disappointed.
Brad is such a good captain.

The only reason Bergeron played in the AHL was because of the NHL strike

Love the Jones signing huge dude and those numbers are pretty good all things considered on a bad team no PP time. We’ll be playing Florida every year on the playoffs can’t ignore that.

He was struggling even before that. They also had no problem sending him to World Juniors too. He has high potential, but saying AHL would stunt his growth is just not true.

I know this, but it still helped his game. AHL doesnt mean you are stunted from growth.

Tufte and Jones are a pair of PWF projects that you hope you can help find the next level
Nice pickups! Makes Boston much tougher. Does anyone think Geekie can replace Debrusk on second line? I can see him scoring 25 playing 2nd line. Could be a Knuble type situation.
I would rather keep Geekie and deal Beecher instead in a deal for McGroarty

Capfriendly has them with 7.8 million left with Swayman to sign but that gives you a 23 man roster. Waiving Bussi gets you another 775k
Not worried about resigning Swayman
It kind of looks they are done here but they could definitely still get some reclamation projects at 1 million and drop guys like Josh Brown and Lettieri to the minors
Still hoping for Vrana. Could use a skill set like his

Always good to have some darts to throw at the board. The 2011 Lucic/Hortons are a dying/dead breed, but if you can get a solid 3rd/4th liner at that size, can really make a difference.
Hope Sweeney can get the same performance he got out of his bargain bin pickups last year.

I just did a quick Cap Friendly with the B's moving out Geekie for futures and signing Swayman for 7.5.
They can bring in a winger for $3.5 if that happened.
Tarasenko, Skinner, Wheeler (I know only 8 goals, but he made 800K last season --- I'd take a flyer on him at 800K to 1.0 as back up to Lysell/Merkulov).
They just need one more guy to agree to come here for a fair amount and then outproduce the contract (or for Lysell or Merkulov to become legit top 9 guys who can score 35/40 points) and I think they're a contender.

I haven't seen a single dman contract I've liked today. I don't like Zadorov's contract either but I like the player.
I can't wait to hear Leafs radio the morning after the bruins walk OEL

Tarasenko just bought two properties in Florida. One for $5MM. He isn't likely going anywhere.

They've done well helping get Brazeau get to the NHL, so I'm hopeful with these guys coming in. Even if one of them becomes a good bottom 6 pieces for us I'll be happy

Arvidsson deal is nice. THat's where the Korpi/Peeke extras may hurt you.
