Future without the current Core

Created by: Silkysmooth42

Team: 2020-21 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 10, 2021

Published: Jan. 10, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I just wanted to experiment on something because its a tough one.
Obviously the bruins current core is getting a bit older, so one might think they are going to need to rebuild soon.
My thought is that like 2015-2017, they might just need another mini-rebuild to recover from a few guys. So here is the current team (no Additions), but without the current "core"

LISTEN: its not perfect. This by itself isnt a spectacular team right now nor may guys like Beecher or Studnicka reach their full potential, BUT its a damn good look so a quick analysis: (everything is speculative and I am being as realistic and not hopeful as possible so no "homer" bs lol)

First off: that defense, MY GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL. The right side is what it is now but better, and with Urho, a mature Griz, and your choice of Zboril/Lauzon on the 3rd pair its well rounded.

Goalies: A little more speculative, but Swayman is playing really well, just nearly won the Hobey Baker for college hockey, and has plenty of time and room to develop into a great goalie. Vladar was already ok, given another year or two he can be a solid backup.

Forwards: this is where it gets hard... Pasta is Pasta, Debrusk is debrusk and hopefully will mature and find his consistancy. Bjork Coyle Wags and Kuraly do their thing (and bjork will get even better with time). Beecher and Stud are both top 6 prospect, hopefully develop to fill the roles. Freddy is looking good but isnt likely gonna have a ceiling much higher than a reallllly good 3rd liner (just how he plays) I threw senyshyn in for fun cuz he might get a chance, and you know the deal with Ritchie and Kase. So who knows, but its fun anyway...

Additional Details:

Screw Moore.
He isnt a cap dump, but to make everyone happy can we just agree to say this because its weird when we see "Moore and a 3rd for a 6th", like no the bruins arent giving up a 3rd to give away a solid top 6 dman

their future is top 10 easy? and youre not biased? lol experts have them bottom 5 and its clear as day but you know better,youre being optimistic

FUTURE ... NOT PROSPECT POOL. (very different lmaooo)
Also their prospects are known to be underrated. (this was proven lmaoooo)

READ, THINK, AND THEN COMMENT. (as one should lmaooo)

no just when people are them like you, you once tried to argue with me that karson kuhlman was better than rasmus sandin, tried saying the bruins have a top 10 future but besides mcavoy carlo and pasta their core is aging and they have one of the worst prospect pools in the NHL, you are saying you know more than people who do this for their career, that is why you are a homer, nice talking to you jack edwards

No thats literally what this post is for HAHAHAHAHA its to show that without their aging core they are still not a bottom tier future. Realistically too. I avoided any biases by only doing the proven prospects (ignoring guys like Lauko and Steen who both were 4th roudners but are looking like they could be NHLers at some point). I literally AVOIDED all bias! LMAAOOOOOOO

wow and you are arrogant and you cry when people make fun of you on this site , cry about how people accuse you of having an extra account, you are a baby my point is you are the one saying they are underrated when experts are saying their prospect pool is bad. thats being a homer and biased. you said top 10 future they are not top 10 future!

sens
flyers
oilers
leafs
sens
avs
canucks
hurricanes
ducks
kings
devils
habs

all those teams have better futures than the bruins and not sure if you can count or not but thats at 12, there could even be more but my point was to name at least 10 for sure are better

hows that jack

All I gotta say is, you should just about wrap up the whole Senyshyn experiment. It ain’t happening. Maybe he’ll carve out a bottom 6 role some day...that’s a big maybe...it won’t be in Boston. 30 other teams not claiming him off waivers told me that there’s really nothing there.

No he’s underrated and it’s not because he’s being a homer !! All the bruins prospects are underrated ! Silky smooth is a guru

You have given me nothing to rebut

Just your opinion, calling me a homer, and a denial of the facts.
I have nothing left to rebut

This is true! Who knows, I mean with nobody claiming him there is no "Need to wrap up the experiment". He will bounce between the AHL and NHL and if he finds his spot he finds his spot! Who knows!

Also ignore VR1995 lmaooo he hasnt given a good arguement yet and I see him on many bruins and non-bruins posts (including my own) calling fans Homers whenever they disagree with him. Lol a true definition of a baby.

I love how he tried doing a side comment with u calling me a Guru like he is in the right here, but clearly he is not

I just looked back to make sure I wasnt ****ing this one up, and I am not. He has changed his argument about 5 times to make me wrong, and I have disproven all of them lol
Started with tryna tell me their prospect pool is bad, which I said "I dont disagree, but they are still underrated (which is true), I was talking about their future". So he changed to saying their future is bad which i pointed out is the point of this post lmaoooo, their future ISNT bad! Then when he got upset about that he started arguing about Senyshyn lmaooooo... He just keeps tryna find some way to say I am wrong

haha yeah I was a bit confused with that other guy.

But hey, maybe you're right about Seny, who knows. He'll probably get in a few games this year being on the taxi squad so we'll get a better understanding of his future
