LOL what about my post is super off, not being defensive either, just genuinely curious. I have not really watched the Bruins much this season but am well aware of how talented that core group is.

Yeah, I still think Tuuka has a few years left as a solid goalie option, but given his age and the variability of a position like goaltending from year to year I was more willing to bet on a younger goalie who has posted solid numbers on a bad team. I think Boston's defensive structure could benefit a goalie like Ullmark. I also figured Ullmark would cost a lot less and could be had at a low term deal as well. Also in terms of the Nashville offer I could see why Nashville might want more as the two players the Bruins would get are extremely useful. I especially like Jarnkrok as a versatile bottom six option with some offensive skill.

I think a larger takeaway from making this lineup is that the Bruins still have a few years to make hay with an elite core thats signed to reasonable deals. My lineup, as constructed has nearly 4 million dollars to spare, which could easily be converted into improvements throughout the roster for what is essentially a 1-2 year Cup or bust window.

Oh and for Josh Levio, I think hes one of players that might be worth upgrading with the extra cap; however, depending on his pay and also if he is fully healed from a pretty devastating knee injury from while he was with the Canucks, he could provide good value as another useful bottom six scoring option.

34 for a goalie is fine. Tuukka is probably a top five goalie in NHL history, replacing him with a question mark for a contending team is a really bad idea.

Yeah, the more I think about it, I tend to agree with you. But it is worth keeping in mind that teams like St Louis, Chicago, and Pittsburgh have all won without a household name in net.

Ya and those guys turned to crap. They caught lightning in a bottle and good for them. Tuukka gives you chance after chance after change. Murray and Bennington gave you an incredibly small window. I’d rather not worry about goaltending, which is what signing tuukka does.
