well you have 5 scratched players which doesnt help. Moore probably starts year on LTIR and when they likely sign Krejci, Debrusk probably gets dealt

Also to say they dont have great defense is just dumb. They were 4th in goals against last year (used 4 different goalies). Forbort>Lauzon and a full year of Reilly>Zboril. Ullmark will do well without and AHL defense in front of him.

Not a perfect offseason and certainly not what i expected, but this is a cup contending team (with Krejci)

Got a feel JDB is getting dealt if they need cap space for Krejci. Could also bury Wagner in the AHL or trade him as well.

It's likely Debrusk gets traded and Moore ends up on LTIR, so should sign Krejci, which makes the team very dangerous.

And still worse than last years team. Except now there’s no cap space to improve

DeBrusk will be traded and there could be more moves. Krejci will likely be re-signed.

This team is easily better than last years. A full year of Hall gives us two scoring lines, and the additions of Foligno and Haula give us much better scoring depth than last year. Also a full year of Reilly and Forbort added to the blue line. If Krejci doesn't come back this team isn't as good, but with Krejci this team is much better.

Worse goaltending. Still a deficient left side.

Meh. At best its a lateral move but now with no cap space to address needs. And that assume krejci comes back.

We used 4 goalies last year, Ullmark was one of the bright spots on the Sabres last year and should improve behind a much better team

I would be saying the same thing if the deal was 1x4. 4x5 is crazy

Its not about if the deal is good or not, the fact is these moves make the Bruins a favorite for the cup.

Yeah lol, before today I said that if Boston Plays their cards right they might be the first in the east. Now I have NJ Devils beating them in a playoff series.

Wouldn’t go that far, but right now I’m not 100% sure that nick foligno isn’t the second line center. That’s a bad spot to be.

You are in fantasy land if you think that. Every LD on this team is a 3rd or 4th pair D on a cup contending team which makes this a non cup contending team.

They will be fortunate just to make the playoffs.

Nah they’re a playoff lock if they have any sort of health. The top line and mcavoy is enough to get them there.

They can beat a toronto. If the puck luck is there they can beat an islanders team. They can’t even come close to tampa even with all the pieces they’ve lost. Not sure they can top an aging penguins team either, though if they get krejci back, i would still have them as the favorite.

Bottom line, these moves prohibit them from doing what it takes to get to a point where they’re an upper echelon team, so it stinks.

No cap flexibility to make additions if things go awry even in the slightest or just to get better if the opportunity arises. All teams have health issues especially older ones so don't count on that. When push comes to shove that defense won't hold up against good teams no matter how well or much McAvoy plays. Better get GREAT goaltending and I know your feelings on that with the way this team is set up.

Nah. I think you just couldn’t be any more wrong about this. Regular season is of zero concern. They’ll make it. Easily. Bet the farm, house, whatever.
