Boston Bruins 3 of 32 Realistic

Team: 2022-23 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 15, 2022

Published: Jun. 30, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Continuing on with this series. Agaain not a fan of the team so go easy. Skipping ahead cause i'm not done Arizona and I'm trying to finish before the draft. Not sure Seattle is who takes Smtih but someone will. Assumed David Quinn was hired. Debrusk stays until Marchand returns. Feel like Bruins will or at least try get into 1st round.

Trades:
-Rielly for a third, clearr cap space and the left side, Sabres could use a solid veteran LHD
-Smith not sure if seattle is the team but he has decent analytics and could help improve that team

AHL: Lysell probably starts with the big club if Marchand is hurt but likely plays a year in Providence. Beecher and Mclaughlin both push for roles in training camp.

Goalie: Ullmark gets the start on account of that contract and they'll want to see more for Swayman likely similar split as last year. Look for Ullmark to be moved next offseason

Defence: Boston has a really solid top four imo when healthy. Lindholm and Mcavoy I feel are a really underated pairing and Grezelcyk and Carlo is a great second pairing. D is rounded out with Forbort next to one of the others

Forwards: Debrusk gets moved once Marchand returns imo if Lysell proves he can stick in the top 6 with the big club. No big changes. Folingo was bought out and goes to Minnesota for less then a mill to play with his bro

Overall: Boston is kind of caught in a weird spot. You fired Casssidy and extended Sweeny. Okkkkk, Bergeron likely returns on a one year deal but that likely pushes off a rebuild another year. Which is too bad I think. They have some nice pieces just don't think it's enough in the East. I expect the Bruins to make the playoffs again but b(ear)ly. Haha.
