Quoting: Bruinsforlife
They are better than last year, but I agree with the cap flexibility tho, next year will be big money year for Mcavoy who will ask for 9m minimum, ullmark is a bit of a odd pick but it could be a steal if he’s good, foligno to me is too expensive 3.5M for 1 and 3M for 2 would have been great, and on the lhd side yeah I don’t like it either, Reilly is a ok but forbot I hate it, but the problem was that the lhd market was expensive and we saw it, now with all the deals made Debrusk will likely be traded unless a miracle happen and we can moove Coyle
Barring a situation where ullmark elevates his game to a level no one could ever reasonably expect, there’s no good outcome to his signing.
1. He is what he is, swayman doesn’t pan out, tuukka never recovers, and the bruins have mediocre goaltending.
2. Swayman pans out, ullmark is a super expensive backup.
3. Tuukka returns and is the guy he’s always been, ullmark is a super expensive backup, and swayman is blocked.
Option three is the most likely.
Can’t have a super expensive backup if you’ve got a super expensive bottom six and expensive bottom pair d men.
