What I would try to do

Team: 2021-22 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 10, 2021

Published: Jun. 10, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Important:

Do whatever you can to get Hertl. Add DeBrusk, Carlo, 1st rounders, prospects - I don't care. Even on his next contract he'll be cheaper than Eichel and provide the same type of elite C that would elevate the secondary scoring on this team.

McAvoy,and in this case Hertl are up, and due increases in pay, in a year. This is why the approach is to spend money on any good and available free agents that might not get multi-year deals in free agency regardless. Stastny is still great, it's like his age hasn't caught up to him, and he would be the 1C on a lot of teams. Nemeth and Koekkoek are kind of good and probably not very expensive. I'd try to avoid the 'bigger names' on the defensive side of this years free agency. It's basically Hamilton who's amazing, and then a lot of overrated players like Martinez and Barrie.

I don't think Coyle is much better than a bottom of the roster player on what's potentially the best team in the league - but that's fine, and it's not that bad if he has to step up due to injuries either.

People hate the Kase signing. That's because they're dumb and incorrect. We're still in a buy-low scenario with a player who's proven himself great whenever healthy. Worst case he'll sit on LTIR, best case he's a legit 1st liner in terms of ice-tilting, making 3 mil.

I don't know if Roy would be available for Carlo - maybe if DeBrusk is added? He's probably undervalued regardless and I'd give up *A LOT* for those 3 years at 3m.
Basically anything not nailed to the wall should be thrown at him and Hertl. Another option is DeMelo, but I think Wpg recognizes his value more. Maybe I'm wrong.
