Step One Creating cap flexibility

Team: 2019-20 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 13, 2019

Published: Jun. 13, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Cost of moving Backes to his hometown team is is Gryz. Love Gryz, but I want Krug here long term and you can't pay them both next year. A bunch of dead money comes off the books next year (Belesky and Seids), so I want a long term Krug deal (would think he gets a 6 year $36-$40M deal)... Moore-Miller will be a solid 3rd pairing, Uhro/Clifton as the next guy on each side gives Bruins very solid depth. This gives long term D core of Krug, Uhro & McAvoy, Carlo...I think that is a very solid long term top 4.

Time to balance out the top 6, it will be better for the team at the end of the year. Too much to ask for a top line of 63-37-88 to carry the team all year. Heinen gets first crack with the top line again, but he and Bjork can be interchangeable. Senychyn is close to getting 3rd line looks as well, and could steal Kuhlman's role.

Ideally, Bruins will need to go land another W during the year. Dealing Krejci is also something we must consider, if we can get back a young C who has term and is cheap, they should look into it. flexibility to flip Heinen for a proven winger during the year will be HUGE for this team.

Loosing gryz to get rid of backes is just not worth it at all

Do you understand that it is not a complete roster, that I titled this "Step One: Creating cap flexibility", because it is essentially a pre-July 1 roster?

This roster is keeping their own and making a move to create cap space to give them room to add players who I do not know are available yet. For someone with enough time to comment 18 THOUSAND! times on a website, you could probably stop, read, and understand a simple concept.

Moving grizz to ditch backes is just a horrible idea. I would have thought that was clear, I guess it wasn’t.its the kind of idea you can’t work with.its just an f- bad idea. It is a very simple concept, you’re right. It’s just a bad one is all.

Moving Backes and getting a 3rd for Gryz is an EXCELLENT deal for BOS if they have confidence in locking up Krug. Otherwise, they have to trade Krug. Essentially, it is keep Krug, clear Backes deal, and get a 3rd rounder for Gryz (who will also need a raise in a year).... That is a massive W for the Bs, but a simple concept that youre small brain can't understand

So you don't understand cap economic's and how valuable it is to clear a contact that is hindering the team. Got it, no biggy. Pay attention to trade values relating to contract dumps, what what the great organizations do to clear those horrid contracts. You Might learn something to make posts 8,000 to 10,000 worth reading!!

You are aware we are dealing from a position of need (in terms of cap)? Bruins have not much leverage, dozens of bad contracts exist in the league, and over the next 2-3 weeks, only a handful will be traded to the teams who need to hit the cap floor. If you're looking to shed deals for cap.... you dont have leverage, and if you dont overpay by sending an asset to move your bad deal, you will not clear the contract form your books. simple as that

McAvoy, Carlo, Krug, DeBrusk, Coyle, Heinen, Kuhlman, Gryz, and more.... alll need new deals within the next 12 months, Someone has to go between Gryz and Krug. Again, the hypothetical in this example, is that Bruins feel comfortable extending Krug at reasonable price and ship out Gryz instead.

So if we are going to **** if it should be a 2nd rounder over a 3rd? Cool. Maybe you are right there. But the pushback with zero logic behind it, other than the douchey attitude that you are the internet's #1 armchair GM and whatever you say goes, is hilariously stupid..... and shows why you have posted 8 thousand times. get yaself a hobby

Sifting through the drivel to the crux of your argument, you're trading your best 5 on 5 left side d man for a 3rd round pick. he's getting paid 1.4 million dollars. that is horrific. have a good day, and enjoy the summer!
