Team: 2021-22 Boston Bruins

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 25, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

If this situation ends up coming to fruition then its going to have to be an interesting off season. I think Rask retiring is more likely than Krejci. Rask still hasn't gotten his surgery yet and maybe this last injury could push him to retire.

As for restructuring the roster, I thought about trying to move DeBrusk in a package for a 2C but I dont know whose really available, if anyone. I haven't really been paying attention to news/rumors so idk if Bruins are still in this race. But I think Senko will go for something similar to a package like this. DeBrusk is a solid middle 6 winger. He's struggled for a bit but he was a great player his first 2 1/2-3 seasons. Its definitely a risk for STL but I think with Senko requesting a trade and his health playing a factor STL will have to receive riskier assets. Loheri (LHD) I dont know much about, I dont know his ceiling. ive seen people say he played better than expected this past season, so there seems to be potential there. The 2nd round pick was just a sweetener for the retained salary, id probably give up a 1st if I had to.

UFAs: Wennberg: I thought about going with Danault here but Wennberg was younger so I went with him instead.

Coleman: I just want him as a Bruin.

Martinez: I wouldn't be mad if this was a Suter signing instead. Self explanatory, real good top 4 dman, brings offensive upside to the d core. I think he would compliment well with both Mcavoy and Carlo.

Ian Cole: Add a little bit of size to the back end. I think there are probably better options to fill that LHD3 role but I just went with Cole.

Lastly I thought about adding Mark Pysyk to rebuild the 4th line. mainly because of his versatility that he can play the wing and right side of the d. Gives them flexibility/depth on the right side of the d as well.

Sorry if the trade value isnt close.
