1. Resign Marchand L2 LW 2/14.4
2. Offer first round pick to Colorado in a sign and trade for Necas
3. Make Sacco full time coach
4. Resign Joki
5. 5/30 Geekie

Geekie - Lindholm - Pastrnak
Marchand - Zacha - Necas

Aside

Did you just see Marchands interview between periods of the Carolina game? He kept referring to the Panthers “those guys “
lol
Necas would make me very very happy. Love his game so much.

Necas I would think gets a bag thrown at him by Colorado

He could easily take it

I would just as GM ask Pastrnak what he can add

And if he comes back, it HAS to be in a reduced role as a third liner, 15 minutes a night.
He’s going to be on second line getting his 20 minutes

Lock

The only thing is he Captain- Pastrnak will if Sacco

If it’s a new coach Marchand

Geekie -- Lindholm -- Pasta

Bennett -- Mittlestadt -- Boeser

Marchand -- Minten -- Lysell

Jeannot -- Kastelic -- Khusy


Zacha traded out, preferably packaged with something else for a top 4 RHD.
 
Sweeney framing Minten as the replacement for Charlie Coyle. Why do we need to "replace" Coyle at all? Why not have a scoring third line, a different look? And Minten only has 9 goals at the AHL level, complete unknown at this point.

Can't shake the feeling that Matt Poitras will be their top trade bait.

I’m a Zacha guy so hope not
 
Here's one...

Flyers need a center. Bruins need a RHD. Flyers need a goalie. Bruins have one thats complaining about ice time.

Bruins: Ristolainen 5.1 x 2 and Ivan Fedotov 3.275 x 1
Flyers: Mittelstadt 5.75 x 2 and Korpisalo 3 x 3

Risto was rumored to be on the block around the TDL so an offseason move isn't out of the question. Fedotov would battle with DiPietro as the backup but could be waived/sent down for depth.

Zadorov-Risto would cause some fits :laugh:

Coyle was a pretty good scoring 3rd line centre no? Possession monster his first couple of seasons in Boston. Minten become another coyle would be fantastic.

Agreed, and that actually encourages me. It will be the right time to move him sometime between the draft and the middle of next year. He improved some this year but he still reminds me of many other smallish journeyman centers. From Dan Daoust, to Keith Acton, to Spooner to you name it. Sorry to go old school Habs, but that is who I see-at best. Acton had a good, long career and helped them get Bobby Smith at least. I hope Spooner and someone good can bring someone even close to that.

I like this. Poitras may force his way onto the team
Jeannot is a nice add and I love Bennett.

Grit, speed, skill, some toughness. Good forward group.

I think I would go into a coma upon impact if we overpaid on the Bennet (7+) and Boeser(8+) combo kick in the nads, AND kept Mittelstadt (5.75) but traded Zacha (4.75) this summer for a non top 6 guy. That would sincerely be the cherry on top of the “is Sweeney fireable?” Sundae for me. Boeser is the best out of all of them, but still could be a 3rd liner in 2/3 years. The other two already belong there.

The Bruins aren't going anywhere by bringing back the same ole same ole, crossing fingers, and hoping Pasta scores 70 goals. The team needs talent, speed, and a dose of swagger to get back to where we all want them to be unless you think you're patient enough to watch a 3 year rebuild during the prime years of Pasta.
