So exactly 1 million over the cap with 12 forwards and 7 defensemen signed.
So who else are they losing before this is all said and done.
Could stick guy in AHL (and get up to $1m in cap relief). Dahlstrom is probably starting there, so that's $850k. And would make them cap compliant.
Owner said keep, and GM has reiterated: Fleury not leaving team. (So they've got $12m in cap by goalies)
Paywall. Good read. Lots of possibilities, no front runners. Way too many unknowns.
Just saw that Boston will be without Patrnak (labrum) and Marchand (sports hernia) for a bit, 2021 is not looking good for them. Both surgeries are the type where we see a higher chance for extended recoveries/suboptimal outcomes as well.
Marchand i think was 4 months. Never seen the pasta one. Marchand should be back for opening night at the latest.
The article suggested neither is likely to be back for opening night (Marchand mid-January and Pasta in February).
The bruin fans on the main board are all saying what i said, the surgeries happened some time in september. So 4 months and 5 months from then. If marchand takes the max lenght which most pro athletes do not, then at the very latest he should be back in week 1. Pasta is for sure missing a few weeks of the season under best case.
