Quoting: ngikas
Coyle, Tuukka, Krejci? Obviously Krejci and Tuukka all depends on extensions but I feel theyre both likely to get one. Grizz is out of here come summertime imo. I think we see the Bruins move a pick to Seattle for them to take who we want them to take come the expansion draft. Too many guys eligible for this upcoming expansion.
Quoting: NICHILO14
look at the healthy scratches jesus christ..those are just potential options the Bruins could use in case of injury. Adding Saad does not mean we cant sign Krug. Bjork and Grezlyck would probably be around the 5-6 million mark for both which is Saad money. Then your back to square one
Krejci won't be protected. He'll be 34 yrs old, have >US$7M cap hit and 1yr contract remaining (highly doubt Seattle Kraken bites on that $$, thus he will come back to Boston as per Sweeney's gamble).
Coyle won't be protected. @ US$5.25M per (a little high for many, but Sweeney's a Harvard man and upped it so he would likely not be selected by Seattle) thus he might come back to Boston.
Nigkas - I protected Rask above, so not sure why he was mentioned....??
NIC - you forgot to add DeBrusk to your "in-need" of new contract...estimate Krug $6.5 to 7.5M Debrusk $3-4M, Grizz $2 to 2.5M, Bjork $1.25 to 1.5M tops = on avg that's roughly US$13-15M
Oh and don't forget you got to replace Halak...cha ching! cha ching!
Off the top of my head, I say you're capped-out!!
The Point = no Saad (or Krug) going forward without better Chi-town retention $$ and I suppose Backes is somewhere on Robidas Island??
