Bruins go all in for next season

Created by: braisman
Team: 2020-21 Boston Bruins
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 26, 2020
Published: Mar. 26, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Hopefully Chara takes a 1 mill base salary with a easily attainable bonus. Give Krug 8 years in order to keep the cap hit lower. Obviously this deal will not age well, but the core window is closing and our prospect system is bad too. We can rebuild in 3-4 years. Hopefully Hall takes slightly less money for max term and the best chance to win.

Stud is an A prospect. I'd say it's mostly C prospects with a few B's, but all those B's had mediocre years. Beecher had a sub par year in NCAA, Lauko missed half the year and Vaakanainen didn't do much offensively this year at all. Steen also had a mediocre year in the AHL. And those are basically the top Boston prospects. After that, you're looking at a handful of guys with 3rd pair or 4th line ceilings...


Based on the people you are mentioning, what @ON3M4N said is the case. The reason people are rating them so low is the guys already with the nHL.
Guy you didnt mention:
Senyshyn (Still middle 6 potential, played well in the NHL)
Kuhlman (Top 6 potential, already playing well)
Zboril (still decent potential, not A level, but not "bottom pair")
Frederick (middle 6, grinder)
Lauzon (Already looking like a good defensive guy)
Keyser, Swayman (both goalies excelling in their respective leagues, OHL and College respectively)

And i am still probably missing some

Plus everything @bhavikp27 said below:

Quoting: bhavikp27
Beecher: Wasn't playing top minutes, yet he was 3rd in pts/GP among forwards
Lauko: first pro season, mostly had a bottom-6 role and suffered injury at WJC
Vaakanainen: He is NOT going to be an offensive dman. He is more defensive and is in his second year in the AHL
Steen: also limited to a bottom-6 role but started playing C around January and adjusting his game

And this:




Bruins have a much better pool of YOUNG PLAYERS than they are given credit for, perhaps the term "prospect" should be fixed, but to say the bruins dont have an amazing future moving forward is a complete lie. Prospect rankings mean nothing to me and other intelligent fans at the moment

I hate to break it to you but, every team has goalies that are good in the juniors.

senyshyn and zboril are busts (at best senyshyn will be a 4th liner)
no way kuhlman has top 6 potential
of course everyone is being harsh about how they have no prospects which is simply not true, but your overeating them.

I'm going to say you don't actually watch any of them play. Although I'll give you Khulman. He's a 3rd liner at best.

Btw Swayman played NCAA, carrying Maine since a freshman. He's a serious contender for the Hobey Baker and Richter.

Feel free to add me to your ignore list then because your going on mine. A few interactions with you is enough for me to know you don't offer much to a hockey conversation.

cheers


I f**king hate Boston but there pool is pretty underrated but it’s underrated because all of there top prospects are now an everyday player for the bruins so people look at that and say nah no good prospects

If Hall signs with the Bruins, all the other NHL teams should just pack up and go home.


Wherever Hall signs that team is done. No cups and early playoff exits.

FACT: Being a perennial top team for the last decade should put the prospect pool in the tank and conversely the big club should start to show signs of faltering too. Two good examples to check on would be Bruins and San Josie:
BOS - Chugging along w/ most pts in this c r a p p y paused year etc. etc.!
SJ - Hmmm lottery darlings hiding in the league basement; but ahhhh crap it's OTT that has our giant lottery ballz!!.....

Vladar is in AHL, Keyser ECHL.

Swayman:
-Walter Brown Award winner (best American-born college hockey player in New England)
-Hobey Baker finalist
-named Hockey East Player of the Year
--No NCAA G faced more shots than him this season (1,170)
-34 GP, 2.07 GAA and .939 SV% in his 3rd year

He isn't just a random guy

senyshyn and zboril are busts (at best senyshyn will be a 4th liner)


Zboril was ranked in 10-20 ranks. He just takes more time to develop and he could play couple of games in the NHL but Bruins have too much depth for that. He's looked better and better this year, from what I've heard

Senyshyn= Not his fault he got drafted in the first. He's more of sniper but the Bruins are a really good defensive team so if you can't play defense, you won't play. That's why he's been playing in the bottom-6 (plus Providence top6 is loaded) and improving his two-way game as a player, but to be able to play in Cassidy's system as well. He will be a good middle-six option.

Senyshyn and Zboril are not busts yet, they are getting there, but until they are like 24-25 and still not in the NHL they arent busts. Senyshyn played 4 nhl games and played well in all four of them. And the bruins have too much LHD depth (5 soild NHLers) so zboril cant even get the chance easily.
Kuhlman is fresh out of college and has played pretty well in the top 6 already, so he is 1000% top 6 potential
I am overrating nobody, just trying to be realistic.

They traded Anderson away, but yeah! When he was on the team, nobody included him as a good prospect

Fat chance of Sweeney giving Krug that much money and term, I don't see Sweeney giving krug anymore then 6 x 6.75 million at the very most.

Im Guessing you meant to say that happy^ (You messed up the formatting)

Karson Kuhlman has "played pretty in the top 6 already" as in when he has he has been good. I didnt say he is already a top 6 forward lol. But he literally is a top 6 potential forward. Thats a fact, thats where he was scouted and projected to be. Kakko is projected to be elite, but based on this year im guessing you would say "idiot, thats like saying john scott is an elite player".
