Rebuild the 2011 team

Vancouver keeps both Joshua and Lindholm if that's the price they are willing to sign for

One thing you guys forgets is it’s Players choice aswell, canada has much higher taxes. Joshua would make 337k more per season in Boston and lindholm 797k per season.

That adds up over time of the contract. 1 mill for Joshua and basically 4 mill for lindholm.

Some players also just don’t like living in Canada the travel is usually farther and I feel the US just has more to offer. Very few cities in Canada can compare to the big cities of the US. Vancouver/ Toronto and Montreal are about the only ones

this doesn't even have a passing resemblance for the 2011 team. somehow mason lohrei isn't giving me dennis seidenberg vibes.

Well it’s impossible to completely replicate the team but the overall build of the team is similar. Style of hockey is way different players don’t look to become thorntons/ Mcquaids anymore even finding guys like horton is difficult nowadays.

But having a 3rd line of Joshua/ Bennett/ Freddy and a bottom pair of Wotherspoon/ peeke is bringing back some of that physicality and grit we once had.

2011 Bruins also didn’t have anyone close to pastrnak at that time so there’s an advantage

Devils decline. overpay
