Description
I know. The fit for Henrique on the Bruins doesn’t make sense. They don’t need another center, especially one signed long-term at a decent cap hit. The problem is: I really like the player. Would anyone really be surprised if he’s simply over it in Anaheim and when he moves to a new team returns to his perennial 40-50 point production? Henrique is still only 30, can score, plays a strong two-way game, is a special teams asset, and is great at the dot. There’s a lot to like. To me, too much to like to pass up when you have the cap space and need secondary scoring, even if the fit doesn’t make sense. Especially if the Bs don’t expect to bring Krejci back, I think you make the claim and see what happens. He could work out at center moving forward if Studnicka doesn’t or he could shift full-time to the wing but help out at the dot. Could make sense on a line with Coyle who isn’t stellar at face-offs. Or dare I say it maybe he’s the best fourth line center ever next year and beyond if some combo of Bergy, Krejci, Coyle,
and Studnicka work out in the top nine but the team wants him at center. I don’t know. If it doesn’t work out, you can try to waive him, but I think he’s got plenty left in the tank. You can also use him as a bait and switch to expose in Expansion and hope Seattle bites. Possibility that it blows up? Sure. But I think the odds are low even if the fit doesn’t seem great. He has enough talent to make the most of his contract. I think teams well ahead of Boston in the waiver priority should snag Henrique, but on the off chance they don’t I don’t think you can skip on this kind of talent for free even with a lengthy contract.

Also, Bs have plenty of cap space this season so no real cap issues until next year. Can add Henrique and still get a top D rental.

    Sorry, it's a no on so many levels. Its not a decent cap hit at 5.8M. You really don't have cap space. Have to resign Carlo, Ritchie, Studnicka, DeBrusk, McAvoy and Pastranak and more BEFORE Henriques contract expires. You even say the fit doesn't make sense. You don't pay a 4th line center 5.8M. If it doesn't work out you won't be able to waive that contract. Seattle is not biting at 5.8M.
