Description

START OF THE YEAR WITH INJURIES
Bjork - Bergeron - Smith/Stud
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kase
Ritchie - Coyle - Smith/Stud
Kuraly - Lindholm - Wagner
Senyshyn, Frederic

The B’s would probably still have to move salary out to bring in a Hoffman type... Hoffman wants a short term 1 year type deal. If that’s the case, moving DeBrusk out doesn’t make a ton of sense in my mind. Also, LHD is an obvious need but if you bring one in who do you protect in expansion? Gryz? Or the new guy? I would lose my mind if BOS had to give up prospects picks just to make sure SEA doesn’t take Gryz, FLA/NYI got killed on that, plus the b’s really need to start filling the prospect pool. Kinda need to see what Zboril/Vaak have as well, Zboril was Prov’s best defensemen down the stretch and almost made the team last year. I think they save some cash and if it’s a problem they will address it during the year. Also Weegar is a RHD, so that one is a bit of a head scratcher. Why sign Miller if you want Weegar?

Also, it sucks that B’s haven’t got some of these FAs. It sucks even more that a lot of them have gone to teams in the division. But it happens, I mean Hall and Dadonov went to teams that weren’t even close to the playoffs. Obviously they could provide more $$ term. It happens.

Weegar is rh but play left, if they don’t sign nobody on defense at least I hope they sign lahun/duclair or any top9 player,

Sure, but the point still stands. They have 2 RHD who can play the left side already. I get that he’s an upgrade but expansion still complicated things. The Kahun/duclair type player isn’t a bad idea, if you do it you might as well move out Bjork for something

I mean unless we don’t have any injuries, bjork would play on the fourth

Eh. Not really big on that idea. But I see the idea, I just think he still has value out there. To be honest I’d love to see Frederic make the jump and play. I think a Frederic - Kuraly - Wagner line would be great

I doubt they bring Chara back. I think he'd have been resigned by now if they planned on him next year. Plus he doesn't fit on the roster if they plan on using Grz, Zboril, Lauzon, and Vaak on the left side next year. Pairings are more likely to look: Vaak - Chuckie; Grz - Carlo; Lauzon - Clifton; Zboril - Miller.
