Boston Bruins Off Season Roster/ Cap Discussion II

[wintersej]

Offering Knies 5 x 9.35 would be 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I'd do it but I bet he doesn't sign it.

I mean it would walk him to UFA at 27 years old with a chance to make a complete killing.

Get Roslo at 3/12.5 for 2rw

IDK his goal production took a dramatic drop-off in the 2nd half. 17 goals in his first 37 games, just 5 the remaining 44.

Just looking for cheaper options than the big guys. Might do decent w Zacha or Mittelstadt as his pivot. I'm petrified of July 1

I am as well. This is not the year to go big in free agency. Reeks of 2016 UFA day.

take as old as time of a desperate team and gm trying to save their jobs

 

[whitetape]

Have to say. After watching these playoffs, mainly the Bruins castaways and the only player I am missing is Marchy.

Carlo has been fine.

 

[GordonHowe]

Brad Marchand is a once in a generation 3rd rounder who went on to a HHOF career through compete level and sheer will. To compare Lysell to Marchand is just silly.

Did someone do that?

If so, it's beyond silly.

Sacrilegious is the word that comes to mind.

 

[whitetape]

So, for example, signing Knies would likely require the Bruins give up two 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd round pick - all of which would need to be their own picks and not acquired from another team.

A horrible overpay. He's a good player, but not a difference maker. Go after FA Bennet instead.

 

[GordonHowe]

You’re missing two important pieces of that trade - William Zellers and a 2nd rounder from Colorado. Yes, Mittlestadt’s contract is an additional year compared to Coyle but the cost is really for that extra year as he’s only $500K more than Coyle next year. The cost of taking Middlestadt was Zellers and a decent pick, I don’t think you can bash Sweeney for that.

That was a good trade.

Zellers was named player of the Year in the USHL,

Will Zellers Named USHL Player of the Year

Will Zellers has been named United States Hockey League (USHL) Player of the Year, the league announced Wednesday. The Boston Bruins prospect was named USHL Forward of the Year and to All-USHL First Team on Tuesday.

I don't have much use for CM. Perhaps on the fourth line. If I could move him along with something else and get decent return, I would.

Sacrilegious is the word that comes to mind.

They posted the stat lines of Marchand's first 20 games in the NHL vs. Lysell's. Which is silly, because everyone knows Marchand's start wasn't eyepopping. It was the next 20 games when he transformed from a 4th line pest to an "attached-at-the-hip" to Patrice Bergeron winger for the next decade+.

Real good chance Bennett turns back into the pumpkin he was in Calgary.

Real good chance Bennett turns back into the pumpkin he was in Calgary.

Maybe not a pumpkin but I agree a big regression is likely. He is probably in the best number 2 spot in the league being sheltered by Barkov and even Lundell when it comes to match ups. His only job is to smash people and put the puck in the net, he's gonna have a lot more responsibility in any other destination except maybe Edmonton.

Ok. Maybe it’s not as bad as it looks?

Or, he figured things out once he got to Florida and this is the way he is now.

I like Bennett, but Knies all day every day.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I recognize all the positive things that Sam Bennett brings to a hockey team.

I still want no part of that puddle of puke on my team.

Mika Z for hampus lindholm (if his knee is holding.) . Flame away.

Might could be. This is the first year he cracked 50 pts. To compare Elias Lindholm was a huge disappointment with his 47pts.

If his knee is good I want him in Boston.

Why not? He would be a very young UFA in 5y ready to cash in again.

July 1st you Go after the top guns for whatever it takes (like Chara, Marner, etc) or you go for 2-3y value or overpaying 1y deals. Overpaying middelguys long term is never good buiseness unless it is the missing link for cup contention or you have a window to do it.

Say no to long term expensive deal to Boeser/Ehlers/etc this summer.
