Last few runs at a cup

I can’t tell if you’re joking 🤔

Sign tuukka and beef up that offer to nashville a bit and this works. Oh, and ditch josh leivo.

LOL what about my post is super off, not being defensive either, just genuinely curious. I have not really watched the Bruins much this season but am well aware of how talented that core group is.

Yeah, I still think Tuuka has a few years left as a solid goalie option, but given his age and the variability of a position like goaltending from year to year I was more willing to bet on a younger goalie who has posted solid numbers on a bad team. I think Boston's defensive structure could benefit a goalie like Ullmark. I also figured Ullmark would cost a lot less and could be had at a low term deal as well. Also in terms of the Nashville offer I could see why Nashville might want more as the two players the Bruins would get are extremely useful. I especially like Jarnkrok as a versatile bottom six option with some offensive skill.

I think a larger takeaway from making this lineup is that the Bruins still have a few years to make hay with an elite core thats signed to reasonable deals. My lineup, as constructed has nearly 4 million dollars to spare, which could easily be converted into improvements throughout the roster for what is essentially a 1-2 year Cup or bust window.

Oh and for Josh Levio, I think hes one of players that might be worth upgrading with the extra cap; however, depending on his pay and also if he is fully healed from a pretty devastating knee injury from while he was with the Canucks, he could provide good value as another useful bottom six scoring option.
