Boston Bruins Your roster changes / proposals XI

[PastaSawce]

I don’t know if the DeBrusk or the Gryz bashing is worse. I guess with DeBrusk you at least have a bad season to point to. Gryz just had one bad game!

More like with Gryz you have HF posters and NESN panels shoving the analytics and homegrown boy narratives in people faces every day that it tricks you into thinking he’s a better player than he is. The fact is he is too small and injury prone to play as much as and in the role that he does. The eye test shows the Bruins D has been pushed around and bullied in the playoffs for several consecutive seasons, even with a diminished Chara.

Pasta is a world class talent, one of the best players in the world and unless Cassidy wanted to be a member of hfboards he was playing him. Bjork Played a lot but as soon as he had a bad game he was demoted a line or sat on the bench or scratched for the next game and Jake has become fragile under him and bouncing him around from his normal wing to his off-wing, I feel only complicated his struggles.

For me each player is different and its the coach's job to evaluate and play the player to his strength and to help build their confidence and make them better, Imo Cassidy hasn't achieved this with the younger Bruin forwards, including the few he has given the ice time to.

Really vital post TCB!!!

There is confusion surrounding this all over the internet because of the change in the Memorandum of Understanding.

The CBA states that if a player (UFA) plays one game in Europe after the start of the NHL season, that player would have to clear waivers before he could play in the NHL. (Section 13.3)

The MOU changes "start of the NHL season" to "through December 15.

In other words, anyone who is a UFA and plays in a Euro league after Dec 15 will require waivers.

I can see why it is confusing

CBA 13.23 amended such that it shall continue to apply to another Club’s RFA but it shall not apply to UFAs who play for a club outside North America after the start of the NHL Regular Season through and including December 15.

Dom,

IS there any talk between the B's and Ari concerning Dvorak or has that shipped sailed since OEL and Garland trade to Van? TIA

 

[DominicT]

soooo any chance his contract has an out & he could leave before the Dec 15th?

Don't know. I guess I could try and find out.

But I would venture to guess it does. What if his wife and kids absolutely do not want to stay? What if they can't make the adjustment? I'm sure he would have thought of that and left himself a way out if necessary.

First off, thank you for not sending a PM asking.

Secondly, unless @Gee Wally wants to respond, I will give you the standard response: It will come out in due time.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Nurse isn't even good. Wow.

Please please get Dvorak because no one loves Coyle more than me but he is not a fit for Hall .

Yes or its studnicka time

 

[Tbaybruin]

Bruins are 24th in the NHL in money spent on D.

And the 5-6 guys all have less than 3 years on their deals, so I’m not too worried about it.

yes but no number two guy and not a great #3. This D is very average. Bruins D is usually quite good.

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

What's all the rage about Dvorak? Seems like he's got pretty good 3rd liner production and he's still young but are we seriously considering him to be a second line guy?

Can someone enlighten me? I honestly don't know much about him. Good two way game? Character guy? He's a natural center?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Remember when some of us thought it’d be a good idea to trade DeBrusk for Nurse a few years back? Imagine THIS cap hit!?! Charlie going to get PAID next year

View attachment 459712

Wait what?

That's an argument AGAINST trading DeBrusk for Nurse?

For real? You're being sarcastic, right?

 

[The don godfather]

Dont know why a debrusk 2nd round pick plus 7th round pick for dvorak cant be done. More then fair.

 

[UncleRico]

Just sitting here thinking about all the “well we might have krejci coming back so that will give the team a boost” posts that will happen every time this team has a bad stretch of games next year.

 

[Gordoff]

They're "in on him."

New news or info from draft talk time?

 

[SPV]

I’m still confused about Charlie Coyle. If he’s not going to be our second line center after Krejci, then he’s being paid too much money.

 

[missingchicklet]

Getting Dvorak would be big for multiple reasons. As it stands, if Bergy or even Coyle go down for an extended period of time the team is in a serious pickle. Dvorak would be a great fit given the Bs situation. He already has the talent of a 2C. He hasn't hit his ceiling yet and is relatively cheap for what he brings. Good at both ends of the ice, physical, and good at the dot. Pretty sure his point totals go up on the second line with the Bs. Is good enough to temporarily fill in at 1C if something happens to Bergy. If DS can swing something for him without giving up a 1st then it's a big win for the Bs. Adding Dvorak immediately improves the forward group a good deal, plus he gives the Bs important depth if Bergy or Coyle get injured. All of that said, I think the Coyotes would be foolish to trade him for the reported asking prices being floated around.

Bill Armstrong wants a 1st overall pick for him I bet and why he hasn't been traded yet. Just a gut feeling

 

[BlackFrancis]

The way people here talk about Dvorak, you'd think he went to BU.

19 even strength points in 56 games.

 

[The don godfather]

Just give a 1 yr 750 k to brassard. Put him in your back pocket in case everyone fails at 2nd c.

 

[HustleB]

Alright F@#& Sweeney. Normally I'm on your side but I already got blind sided me once with Krejci. I feel like this is just a marketing ploy that he's like "I'll string the fans along until we figure it out, and if it doesn't work its over right?"

Stop it he doesn't say that if hes completely retired.

Taking a regular season off in an Olympic year is smart. Shame it isn't easy for us to do this and not have to fight waiver claims.

Haven't seen a breakdown on what he/we would have to do to facilitate.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

McDavid 12.5m
Draisaitl 8.5m
Nurse 9.25m*

30.25 million total cap hit!!

Bergeron 6.87m
Marchand 6.12m
Pastrnak 6.66m
Hall 6m

25.65m for above Bruins 4 players. Wow

Sweenius
