What Ive come up with here is a far fetched unlikely 2020 offseason scenario for the Bruins. Overall, I kind of love how the forward lines look. Despite moving on from Krejci were still pretty strong down the middle imo. DeBrusk takes a 1 year deal to wait for the Bruins to free up some cap space for a longer term deal. I think Coyle would be great with Hall and Hoffman. Keeping DeBrusk gives Stud an established player to play with. I went with adding internally for defense. We have NHL ready dmen on ELC we need to take advantage of that and see if one sticks. Worst case grab a dman mid season or by the deadline. Signing Hoffman to that contract could prove costly down the road (could be exposed in EXP draft but I assume hell get a type of NMC) . Financially the Bruins are set up pretty well to try and make a splash this off season if they really wanted to and they got DeBrusk to take a Lebanc like deal. And in an age with a flat cap it makes sense to go all in when some better teams will experience the effect of a flat cap.
2021-22 CAP SPACE ($27,420,000)
Debrusk 5 x $5 ($22,420,000)
Carlo 6 x $5.5 ($16,920,000)
Frederic 2 x $1.2 ($15,720,000)
Tuukka 1 x $5.5 ($10,220,000)
Kuraly 3 x $2 ($8,220,000)
And even further $22,508,337 to lock up McAvoy, extend Studnicka, Lauzon, Urho, maybe Bergy for another year or two if he wants to keep playing and a new goalie if Vladar/Swayman/Keyser dont work out. I assume McAvoy will be around $8-10, Stud, Lauzon and Urho could be on the affordable side still. I think it'd be tough to bring in a new goalie and sign Bergy I think. So hope that one of our 3 prospects pan out. Or the cap could go up a tad bit and that could help.
