One more year of the core

Team: 2020-21 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 2, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Rask, Krejci, and possibly Chara have one year left. I don’t see any of them being re-signed at the end of their respective deals, let alone if Chara comes back for next season. This will be the last run with the core as it is. In a perfect world the bruins can swing a trade for Eichel after next season with Krejci gone and Bergeron not far behind, but I have a feeling Buffalo will end up moving him sooner than that.

Forwards
Mostly the same, let Ritchie screw around in Providence and I want to see a full season of that Bjork-Coyle-Studnicka line. Even though they extended Wagner, Kuhlman feels like the better fit at 4RW

Defense
This is assuming Chara hangs em up, he’s just looked too slow to the point where his size no longer matters because guys are blowing past him. I’d be open to bringing him back in a limited role but I don’t think he can handle first pairing minutes any longer. I think although not a true first pairing Dman, Grzelcyk has played well with McAvoy. I believe Lauzon and Carlo could form a shut down pairing, and the signing of Dillon gives them some capable size on the back end.

Goaltending
Rask ultimately comes back for the last year of the contract. Can’t see him passing on that money. Halak has a year left as the backup but you definitely need to get Vladar some experience at some point during the season.

Letting Krug walk is hard but the right decision. The decline will happen at some point during his next contract and the money will not be worth it with the way he plays defense. I would let McAvoy take over the power play next season. That also leaves you about $6mil give or take in cap space available for the deadline

Lines/contracts given almost perfect. Think Krug and Chara return so that's the thing I would change.

I think the money for DeBrusk's and Grez's contracts are a little heavy especially with the cap being flat for the next 2-5 years. RFA's and UFA's are going to be taking a haircut unfortunately.
I think DeBrusk gets done around 3M and Grez is more like 3.75M. I'd leave Dillon off the team and use his money to take a run at Petro from St. Louis. Perhaps could get him done at around 9ish. Otherwise like the team as constructed. Need to give the kids (Kuhlman/Studs/Bjork/Lauzon) NHL time to grow.

Lol it’s not like it’s a blockbuster deal it’s depth d for a 7th rounder Kings are merely a place holder for any team that needs extra defense

Kings are rumored to be targeting a vet LD who can play on the top pair with Doughty. So probably Leddy or Hjarmarsson. Moore is being paid 500k less than JJ with the same term and role and some people think it will take a 2nd + to take that contract. It will certainly cost a 3rd or 4th to move Moore.

Interesting their input was removed from the topic @js31

Their are a lot of people who agree with me hence why you feel the need to make a separate comment telling people not to listen to me.

Before my comments were removed along with a few others, @mhockey91 and @Ragsandbluesfan were on the same page as me I believe.

@silkysmooth42 @Js31 just realized this isn't the same topic, my bad. I just woke up. If anyone wants to see how other people feel about a team taking Moore for free go ahead and check out the comments on the ACGM "Tuukka leaves Krug stays"

Silky, I'm not going to have the same debate with you in 2 different threads.
