That’s Larry Lucchino to Jon Lester insult territory

The Bruins aren’t exactly the 87 Calgary Flames forward group

5x5 you are probably close

Take Pastrnak figure and divide by 2

Lester had a resume, But it wouldn't surprise me in the least for Sweeney to get suckered.

Wait a sec. Is his 21% SP sustainable because he learned how to shoot this season or because of Pasta?

I have him at 16-18% so I’ll split it at 17 %

So we landed on a %

Now let’s do reason

Analogy time for those still following
Garrett Crochett throws 5 pitches
4 seam
Cutter
Slider
Sweeper
Change

But the 4 seam & cutter are his top 2 pitchers

Geekie I’ll go 4 reasons
Shot improvement
opportunity (playing with Pastrnak)
Coaching - Sacco
Confidence

The Shot Whisperer (Linus Ullmark) suggested working on a quicker release

Pastrnak factors in on all lot of his goals and why many are super duper mint spots to score

Hope this helps all

grateful for you folks

So the takeaway from this is they should hire Ullmark as the shooting coach and PP coach for the team and fire Kelly.

They should swap Swayman for Ullmark and have Ullmark make subliminal tapes that can be played at sleep to help the forwards.

“Your shot is accurate”
“Your release is quick”

Stuff like that. Also I like the Swedish accent of Linus - very calming and help them sleep better

This may be one of those real tough contracts to negotiate got sat out at the beginning of the year and looked absolutely horrible now looks like a legit first line guy

He should get a Debrusk like contract. Was it like 4.3ish. That seems about right and a good comparison

Life is about silver linings & lessons

This season is a wreck but a silver lining is Geekie

Marchand getting dealt is a silver lining because Geekie is getting first dibs not Brad (also allows the sun to shine on Pasta the frontman but that’s another story)

Silver lining for Boston is the timing as Geekie is going off the year before his walk year. Timing is everything and it works for Boston

Had he been an actual UFA we would have a real tough decision

As is if you watch his goals and assists there is usually one common denominator- 88.

But they go together amazingly and separate how good as Geekie ?

My feeling with Pasta he’s a legit 30 goal guy without he’s a solid 20.

Is he a 29 G in 59 games guy or is it a variance ?

The Bruins are fortunate they got time to both figure out and add a top six winger out of the Fall Discarded bin like a Nolan Ryan 1968 Topps mint rookie card at a yard sale

In lost Bruins season, Morgan Geekie continues to build chemistry with David Pastrnak - The Boston Globe

Geekie (30 goals, 23 assists) is in line for a big raise from the Bruins or elsewhere when restricted free agency arrives at season's end.
www.bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com

Matt Falconer was a busy man Tuesday night.

In addition to his regular duties at the Bruins bench, the club’s equipment man was charged with protecting some precious pucks.

It was a milestone night at the Prudential Center where David Pastrnak, reached 100 points for a third straight season, Morgan Geekie hit the 30-goal mark, Michael Callahan scored his first NHL goal, Fraser Mintenconnected for his first as a Bruin, and Fabian Lysell notched his first career point.
Falconer acknowledged Wednesday, a day after Boston’s 7-2 win over the Devils, that he had the pucks stashed in multiple spots. His pockets, his sleeves, and his hoodie pouch were filled with the vulcanized rubber mementos in Newark, N.J.

One puck in particular stood out. Pastrnak’s 100th point was an assist on Geekie’s 30th goal. Pastrnak, the Bruins’ de facto captain, awarded it to Geekie.

The pair have been on fire lately racking up points at an impressive clip, including last week’s win over the Hurricanes in which they both collected 5.

The chemistry between the wingers has been evident for a good stretch now.

“Dave’s a great player. Obviously 100 points in this league is not something to shake your head at and to do it three times in a row speaks to the kind of player he is,” said Geekie, who may be the only guy in the locker room who refers to Pastrnak as Dave. “But I mean from my point of view, I think yeah, we read off each other pretty well and just try to find spots to get open for him and I think that’s a skill I’ve grown over these last couple months just trying to learn to play with him and where he likes to be, where I know he likes to put the puck. I think that’s just a skill you’ve got to learn, and I’ve been fortunate enough to play with him for enough time now to kind of figure those things out and we’ll keep growing together for sure.”

Will that growth continue into 2025-26?

A two-year, $4 million pact that Geekie signed in the summer of 2023 is up at season’s end . The 26-year-old will be a restricted free agent and is in line for a big raise.

Geekie, who also has set a career high with 23 assists to go with a high mark in goals, said he hasn’t spent a ton of time thinking about what’s next. He’ll leave the negotiating to his agent.

“I know there was a lot of talk going into the deadline with what was going to happen with me and I’m just happy to stick around for another month and a half and if that’s as long as I’m here, then that’s how it’s going to be,” he said. “But I love it here, like I said before, and I’d love to stay as long as I can, but like I said, it’s a long summer, it’s a business at the end of the day and I thank the organization for all the opportunity and just I’d love to be a part of it moving forward, for sure.”

I don't see him coming in under 5.5, hope these negotiations go better than Swaymans

Restricted Free Agents (RFA) & Qualifying Offers​

Offer Sheet/Right of First Refusal
An RFA may sign with a new team, but their current team has a right of first refusal to match the offer. See Offer Sheet. However, if an RFA elects for Salary Arbitration, they are no longer able to sign with a new team.

Qualifying Offers
In order for a team to keep a player's RFA status, they must provide a Qualifying Offer. If they do not provide a Qualifying Offer, the player becomes a UFA. Qualifying Offers must be provided to the player by the later of the Monday after the Entry Draft or June 25.

Qualifying Offer Requirements:

Most recent salary Required Qualifying Offer %

$750K to $999K 105% to maximum $1.0M

$1.0M or more - Contract signed before July 2020 100%

$1.0M or more - contract signed after July 2020 The lesser of: a) 100% of most recent salary b) 120% of Cap Hit

A Qualifying Offer cannot actually be accepted before July 1. If a Qualifying Offer is not accepted, it expires by July 15 unless extended in writing by the team.

Signing Deadline
An RFA must sign by 5pm EST December 1 in order for the contract to be valid for the season. An RFA would not have a valid contract and therefore cannot play if signed after December 1

I think it's a variance. He's shooting at 21% this season. Nobody maintains a shooting percent that high over a big sample.

I do think he's a real NHL goal scorer now, just not at that clip.

Do 29 G in 59 games or extrapolated over 82 games 41 goals count as something normal ????

I agree no - that’s 20% territory

However, 16 % gets him Knuble-ish 25-35 a year as long as he’s with Pastrnak

Watch his goals they are often from in close on a wtf-Pastrnak feed that’s close to a given

great post

Im warying for overspending on him because I think he'll come back to earth and be more of a 25 goal 25 assist guy ultimately...hard to say because as much as Pasta is boosting him, he's also only getting better each season with each year and still only 26.

He's no Matt Belesky that's for sure

I was thinking Belesky as well lol - Geekie & ‘Dave’ Pastrnak go together well like Jim Morrison & Ray Manzerak or for the mid to late 70’s folks Ronnie Van Zant & Allen Collins of Lynyrd Skynyrd. A super star matched up with a guy who they had chemistry with

Skynyrd was about to become one of the all time greatest bands adding Steve Gaines was like Warriors adding Durant
